I'm an electronic music producer and high platinum protoss.. as much as I hate Terran the Marauder is one sexy unit. So much so that I threw together a track featuring our OP infantry buddy..
then I was like well this could be interesting so I gave it a listen and ehhhhhhhh
I mean I think it has potential but theres too much blankspace inbetween. A lot of the quotes used from the Marauder are the ones you hear constantly and not the offbeat ones, plus it being way too long with the maruader quotes being too far spread apart and linking together the music instead of being the focus.
Maybe try and shorten it up a bit and use the quotes as the main part of the song with the house music in the background?

Thanks for the input.. I dig what you mean about having the quotes be the focus (maybe create some kind of melodic idea), but it is a DJ friend electro track.. which is why the long intro/outro, breakdown, etc. The track needs to be remixed a little bit and master properly.. I did it in a few hours so it's early days yet!
As it was said earlier, the quotes are a little too far apart, though not much. Overall, I really liked the song, and if you had maybe 2-5 seconds less time gap between each quote, I think it'd be awesome. Nevertheless, awesome work, I know how tedious this can be. D:
As it's called "Demo", will there be an extra long 10:00+ club version? WANT!
Also those quotes are perfect. If you add too much they will get tedious. Maybe a break with a really long quote would add some flavour but I really like that song.

Solid Electro-house track but the samples don't sit in the mix at all, you definitely need some effects or something to get them more incorporated, I would suggest using a slicer to split main syllables and chopping the quotes into a more rythmic/electro feeling form. Cut that shit up.
Very nice track but I think a previous comment was right when it said on a few occasions during the track the Marauder voice sounds slightly disconnected. Would be a nice track without even the vocals though.
I loved this. Personally, i think the artistic use of the sounds is much more important than cramming as many as possible into a song, which alot of people here seem to enjoy. I thought all of the ones you included were well timed and fit the feel of the song.
Overall, probably one of the most well done SC music i've heard.

Thats the whole point of it, I think Its an Electro House track, with smaples of the Marauder speach in. So, its not supposed to be just the Marauder speaking. Someone said earlier that it didn't fit, and I agree with his post, in slicing and dicing my friend
For anyone that is interested in having this tune as an mp3 I will have it remixed and mastered by the end of the week.. I'll repost it in this thread! Thanks again for the feedback.
I agree with sob3k though as far as the samples could be incorporated more seamlessly and cut up into more rhythmic bits. That being said the base line is siiick.

Challenge Accepted...
Where can I download the track?
I used the awesome JDownloader software, but maybe there are other tools too to get the song out of that flash-thingy
Honestly I would rather if you guys didn't rip the track from Soundcloud... it's not in it's final product. Once I have it mastered and cleaned up I will post it for free here, hopefully by the end of the week!
I was just listening to it in the background and like only after 3 minutes I realized that the voice pieces where indeed things mauraders said (A). Great use of the sexy maurader !

A suggestion would be to modify the change around 3:20. Going into a more silent part (2:20 - 3:20) and returning to the main theme is great - especially with a good Marauder vocal to return - but i would like the return of the main theme to have a little more "punch". Some kind of crescendo topped of with something cool by the Marauder and a little stronger variation of the main theme after it.
