Distorted Reality

Well back to the reality of work tomorrow.
 
However, here's a little composition I made over this weekend using just the MegaMagic Dreams and OMG BreakTweaker Libraries from Pluginguru.com. I wanted to go for that Ulrich Schnauss pleasant distorted sound mixed with my own style. Hope you enjoy

    Got it.
     
    Setting aside the whole hype thing regarding T.a.t.u., whoever did the music for them was brilliant. This reminds me a lot of that. Could stand a good bass in there, and maybe a few guitars, but I like what I hear.

    Can definitely agree with Dan...I hear a good bass line and some single or dual note
    guitar riffs and power chords running through this...

    Very nice track!

    This to me is a soundscape.  I definitely like the little change of pace at 1:15.  I like the sounds you used especially around 1:35.
     
    If I close my eyes I can imagine driving over the mountains with this playing on the stereo.
     
    How much of this was done in Sonar?  Are you playing the keys?
     
    Do you consider this a mastered piece, and if so what tools did you use?

    Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I cannot play guitar otherwise it would certainly have made an appearance.
     
    Jesse - The whole track was done with Sonar using VST software instruments all of which were played in by myself. I wouldn't however say it was mastered just mixed, the majority of which was done using the tools available in prochannel with the exception of Softube Console 1 on the master bus to give it that bit of glue.
