[MH16: Hopes And Dreams]

Crap, i'm soo jealous D':

15 reviews!?

It captures the essence very well of hopes and dreams.

I really enjoyed this song, it was good and progressive;
the only thing I can critisise is the end section - maybe a bit repetitive, and the cymbals there maybe a little velocity tweaking ;)

I really loved the drum roll parts and the string samples were executed amazingly.

well done
and i hope I helped.

FairSquare responds:

Yeah, i got 15 reviews (with your review it's 16 :P), but i didn't get one review from people i don't know and i pmed most of them.
Thanks for the review!
And yes, you helped :-)

[The Shadows of Loneliness]

I couldn't read author comments

Sorry, about that xD I just don't have much time - I'm listening to this while doing lots of school work, and keyboard practice and such.

Review:

well, I 5'd this cause it deserves it, and moar PROPER reviews.

first of all - Goth? I would have said classical, as this is just a piano. I thought the genre was the.. erm.. "Genre" not really the feel of the song as such. *though you could argue easily about that^^

anyways, it did achieve the goal very well, and seeing as it's made for a flash I overlooked the longevity.

The velocity on all the notes was perfect and the piano sample or vst you used is beautiful. Maybe a little more reverb .

My only real criticism is the repeat of chords- the progression is good but it doesn't make me forget that you use those chords for some the song. And maybe a

As dragon knight said - it is very haunting, and easy to listen to,

If it wasn't for a flash - I would say too long (though i am still thinking that because of the repeated chords)

but, If I push that aside, you have a very well made song.

>>Zero123Music

crap, i didn't notice how long this review has been xD
sorry^^

Jabicho responds:

Thanks man, hehe I suck at recognizing genres =P so i'm not sure either, but I think it's the eerie feeling that get's it to this genre. But yep, I was thinking about putting it in classical too.

Hehe my longest to date, I don't like making long pieces, but I think it's the fact I joined four scenes. At the beggining I was thinking about making four individual pieces, but they were too short lol

Thanks man, your review means a lot, take care!

[Icarus - Dream of Flight]

are you shi**in me?

Of course this song is amazing blah blah,

but I didn't know you made it!?

man, stop stealing all the macs! D';

sorohanro responds:

:)))
What else would you expect from a trumpet player than spreading his loudness all over places :)))
Thanx for review.

[MH16: A New Era]

It shows

the amount of work shows, very age of empires and slightly chinese.

As with most of your songs, this was very progressive and really nice at that.
Good orchestral samples, maybe some articulations on the woodwind (though I don't even do that xD)

Nice intro too ;D

Overall, really liked it - and well done getting do many reviews, I normally only get this much by PM'ing people xD

>>Zero

FairSquare responds:

Lol, PM'ed people too :P
Thanks for the review!

[Heartbroken Taco]

woah.. taco =)

a nice song -
good chord selection

I liked the percussion in the bg, and the ending segment was well done.

I would suggest having a volume envelope on the choir as they came in a bit loud.
nice crunch lol xD

>>Zero

Assassin2 responds:

Thankyou sir.
Can you keep a secret? I can't do enveloping yet = O
When I do it doesn't normalize again and whatever bleh...
Thanks for listening!

[Exotic Beat]

nice beat

well, exactly what it says ^^

but I think it's in the wrong genre personally- but well done

theAnt101 responds:

Thanks! I just changed it, now it's in the "miscellaneous"section now.

[Desert Charm - Incomplete]

Well, it's incomplete ^^

I really like it for a first, and about 2 mins into most my songs, I start to try and end them xD.

Suggestions:
Well, i really liked the feel this gave- so no suggestions on what you have,
but to finish it, have a memorable melody line at the end - exactly at the second it ends to have an epic build up and feel; but try not to make it derive from the original feel of the song ;)

Hope I helped
5/5
9/10 - cos it's incomplete!

Nekoprism responds:

Thx a lot! I'll take all this in consideration.
See ya around!

[MH16: Music Is Power]

I do agree :)

Big improvement, lovely instrument choices;
but, as suggested below- more complex chord changes and sections, though it's nice, simple- and easy to build upon.

Nice ending ^^ really subtle

FairSquare responds:

Thanks for your review! :-)

[MH16: Walk Through Life]

Addictive,

Sounds quite Japanese as about halfway in :)

The drums are addictive xP and it is nice
The erm.. cymbals? well whatever percussion that was building up was amazingly done;

my only criticism is again velocities- and do you EQ? and what reverb do you use?

You work real quick MH, which is good when scoring for a game- but never rush work :) I know one person who spends weeks on one song, of course it's worth it though :p

nice work;
fav.
>>Zero

FairSquare responds:

The percussion that was building up was a hi-hat :P
I've got to work on those velocities like you said.
And i don't EQ. I don't even know what EQ'ing actually is :P
The reverb that i use? Erm... i honestly don't know :S
About rushing my work:
Well, let's just say i work really fast. When i open up FL and start making something, i usually make everything without saving. And when the song is done i wonder what could be better and i improve that.
I save my song, export it to MP3 and upload it on NG.
Usually that takes me about 1 to 2 hours :P

I really appreciate your review and of course, thanks for the fav, the 10 and the 5.
