Not bad

It was a little quiet, but still very good. One thing you should try to do is the horns that were playing the melody were just playing the same chords all together, and there was very little variation in the way they played. it made it sound sort of mechanised, but it sounded pretty awesome none the less. Put a timpani in there for good effect, and you need to cut the end silence off to make it loop. Remember flash artists have no idea how to edit sound.

afliXion responds:

Yea, it was quiet. But unfortunately, theres not much I can do about that. It was of FF already. Finale is just real bad for play back.
I guess your right about the horns, but I don't know what varaiations I could put in. I mean the original song had only 3-4 voices in it... and I didn't want put to many variations in voice leading or anything like that.
A timpani! Your right. I really should have put that. And I would have made it loop, but I don't know how to do that.
Thanks for the review. :D

:o

Video game is for remixes, so this isnt truely the right catagory, but i can hear why you went for it.

Don't pan timpanis like that, drums normaly should stay almost dead centre where pan is concerned, because they hold the rhythm. Try to avoid using synth chior too, tends to sound a bit cheesey.

Cleod-9 responds:

Ahh, I see.

Bah.

I wish they would change the 'classical' directory to 'orchesteral', because none of the music in there is classical, and theres no way it possibly could be.

Thats a pretty nifty track you've got there, reminds me of Barbers Adagio for Strings.

It was a bit slow at parts, especialy the pizzacato section, because pizzacato strings are normaly quite fast and furious. Nice suspensions at the start, and it really did have that quartet feel. Nice one.

Scarlatti responds:

Thank you, kindly Khuskan. Thing is, classical/orchestral is the only thing I do well. Unlike you and your lovely Immersion right next to Landscape Symphony. Suppose I'll just have to go out and buy some good DnB. Or maybe just play a lot of Super Nintendo.

Ooo.

Not bad at all. There were some dischords, and you can really tell the guitar is a soundfont at the start, but cant blame you for that. It sounds like it needs a second lead guitar. The drums were inaudiable, might want to do somthing about that, it might just be a mis-balance. Keep it up, remixes are always good :D

YAY!

Well classical music dosn't have sitars, so to be honest its not exactly the best choice of genre. I'm not sure if you were trying to loop it, but it didnt seem to work. It sounds very sample based, which really helped the quality. Good job on this one.

:O

I didn't recognise it from tetris, but that dosnt matter, because its got a great sound as it is. Turn the volume on your crash symbol down a bit. If you listen to it carefully, you can hear the other instruments go quieter when it sounds. Oh and dont play chords on a hellstorm guitar, Find Hvyguitar on NN-19 (or was it nnxt.. cant remember). Anyway, keep it up, fellow reason 3 user, there needs to be... HOLD ON A SEC. YOUR NIVI. Bah, i didnt realise. What a bizaare coincidence.

Jhalkompwdr responds:

Now THAT'S irony.
It's from the NEW tetris (N64)
Thank you, that was the kind of advice I was looking for.
But, uhh, there aren't any chords on the hellspawn... oh well, i know what you mean. I'll shove an ampeg fliptop in.

:o

You've got a great voice, and your guitar playing was great, and the song was very well written. Only thing that truely could be touched up would be recording quality, there was a lot of background noise. Keep at it, you could get a career out of this.

Nigel-of-the-Drakes responds:

Thank you very much. I need to save some money to get some nice recording equipment, but as for now I have to use a regular computer mic.

Yay.

I played somthing like that when i was.. 5.

If you're trying to go for minimilist modern, you're in the right direction. Otherwise there was nothing to it at all, and it definatly wasnt classical. The pan was REALLY annoying, and i'd advise against using it ever when you only have one instrument.

Consider what a track needs to be a piece of music: A chord pattern, starting on the I'st, ending on the V'th, A backing, a distinct melody and a point where at least one of those parts changes to give a new section of music.

C-KICK responds:

well I am greatful that you replyed to my music, and as for how simple it is, that could be mostly due to the fact that i have never taken a music lesson in my life.

Hmm

Well I expected a beatles cover. The drums were too quiet and the snare was too reverberated, and the chord pattern just didnt work. I could work out what you were trying to make it sound like, but the second chord is out of key, and its very repetative. You need to put a bass in there somwhere as well, it gives most songs that extra thickness they need.

:o

It sounds very hans-zimmerish, much like the Crimson tide theme, it has the same basic rhythm as it. Nice use of structure, it wasnt the slightest bit repeteitive. Those french horns were a little overpowering in the middle, and try to put another note on the timpani in the later section, instead having it just beating like the snare drum the whole time, most timpanis have at least 2 drums at different pitches, like at the start. Very good an orchesteral thoughk well written.

XGM-Zeth responds:

Good, Because hans zimmer is the one person i admire the most with it, and i know the crimson tide, as it was the first song i heard for him.

I'll admit that i like this one a bit, but its kinda equal with my newest (Promise is given)

I'm not so much of a technichian though, i just make what i think sound cool :)
Which happen to be orchestral.

-Zeth-

I maek musics.
