Could you describe the differences between the remix and the original? I'm not exactly sure if I can tell it's a remix or not. Can you post the track of the original so we can tell? If you did remix it, it sounds really cool.

For the remix, what I have done is raised the pitch of the orchestral stem, as well as amplified the main areas of the song as if to apply a crescendo in the music. I've also added a run in using the percs and first 5 seconds of the orchestral stem. I've also brought out the percussion in the piece, giving it crescendos and decrescendos in certain areas. Hope you enjoy :)

Is there a download available for your remix. I think I like it more.

Just saying... your remix really isn't much different from the original, in fact that youtube video of the original isn't right. Listen to it here for an actual good quality version.

It is fairly different in a few aspects. If you pay attention, I have made a fair few subtle modifications. As well as changed the pitch to something I think works better, as well as adding a tail to the end of the song. I am planning on mixing in both "Revival" and "Awakening" to create a new track I'm yet to dub.

Does "Revival of a Titan" sound alright?

I heard the changes you made. You messed with the dynamics here and there, and in one part you transposed one small portion. For the most part its exactly the same. You should look into getting a recording from that soundcloud version because it is clean, unlike that crappy youtube version. Also, I wouldn't call it a remix until you make some serious changes in the audio, or add your own phrases to the original.

I got the stems straight from the Halo 4 Remix site. I've started on "To Revive a Titan". So far, I've synced it nicely and it has come together nicely so far. Still to work on other bits.

Funnily enough, I learned how to do this at school and by myself .__.

I'm still working on it. The song is barely 10% finished. It has a whole lot more to go, I'm just going to be posting updates to get ideas on how to update it and make it better.
