Nice job. What software is that?

[Destructavator]

This is REAPER, one of the newer DAW software packages out there - I used to use Cakewalk but switched because REAPER is much more intuitive and less restrictive. The drums are EZ-Drummer, and the guitar tracks were from a real Gibson Explorer Guitar w/EMG pickups with a Line 6 amp plugin - but replacing the cabinet and mic simulation with keFIR using an impulse response file.

This capture shows the default skin for REAPER 2.55, the latest stable version.

I WAN IT! O.O

Yeah! Great job.. I want this track! :)

It's a tad too rock-ish, isn't it?

Oh well.

.. I SOOOO WANT THIS THEME!!!!

Oh, one more thing. The guitar has a perfect undertone, it sounds really exquisitely but it would sound a lot better if you hadn't changed the notes to the ones that you improvised yourself. Furthermore, you should find some places in the tune, where you could fit in an undulating sound of the guitar. That would be all to make this composition totally perfect. Once again, thanks for making this one! I'm listening to it all the time. Greets!

This version is just perfectly original and purely awesome, but if you could do one more closer to the first version of Test Drive II theme, not The Duel, it would be amazing. I would be very, very grateful to you! I always appreciated more the first one, because it had bigger spirit within. Better mood, stronger, slower, harder, deeper and melancholic, not modified by trends. If you could create that kind of cover, I would even love you! Lol... XD

You know... A lot of bass contained mainly.

This remix is one of the best! I can listen it for hours, it's so addictive! MP3 can be download from Kwed. Destructavator, can you include the download URL in the description?

Neat, I'll have to check it out. I'm a Cubase guy myself currently. I was wondering about the guitar, I couldn't decide if it was a really decent sample/synth or real. ;-)
