[Empire Resurrection]

Great

Loved the percussion. Good motifs.

LightKeeper responds:

Thanks, really glad you enjoyed the song and its percussion. :)

[~DT~ Divinity Trance Loop]

Had some good ideas for sure

There were parts when the echoing synth that is used throughout the whole loop had too much going on I think. It kind-of trampled over its self so it was hard to distinguish what was going on. The lower synth I think also had a little too much going on. A little bit before and after 1:00 the loop sounded a little chaotic. I liked the beginning though.

DeatHTaX responds:

Yeah. In the original version I didn't have the reverb quite as agressive. Then the beginning didn't sound as good as a result, and i didn't have the common sense to simply make a second trigger and reduce the reverb for the second part lol.

Thanks for your review :) much appreciated

[Hide and Seek {Techno Mix}]

nice man

Pretty cool. I like. I'd like to hear what you think of some of my latest songs.

fishfood2021 responds:

Thanks for reviewing. I may check it out when I can.

[[DH] Descending Into Chaos]

It's good

It doesn't remind me of descending into chaos. It reminds me of a heroic battle that is about to start. Perhaps an epic battle :). It starts with someone telling his/her family they have to go into battle (beginning), that person marching into battle (middle), and then the two forces meet and are about to fight (end).

DarqueHand responds:

That's a cool image. I'm actually glad it made you think of something like that!

[Love, Midna]

Very nice

I really like your original spin on the Zelda tunes. I think its hilarious that you put the character voices in, but they are perfectly placed. LOL. I liked all the transitions, and the balance is great. I have to arrange some nintendo song or something soon, I'm feeling inspired now.
10/10
5/5
Keep writing, you have talent.

VGSongbird responds:

Thanks Dude ^_^

[Kick Pulse (Round I)]

Not too into it but . . .

good. What program do you use?

NightcoreVII responds:

I use the ever popular FL Studio. =)

[<PS> Antarctica]

Do you write all classical peices?

I like this peice better than the last one I reviewed. I wish I had the patience to write out full orchestral peices like this. I mainly write really weird stuff on a program called Fruity Loops Studio. I've submitted some stuff to the portal, but not my best stuff, in my opinion. What program do you use again? It sounds REALLY good! I want to look into it. 10/10, 5/5.

PenguinSam responds:

Thanks! I used a program called Finale 2006. They now have Finale 2009 out right now (which is TONS better than 2006). Let me warn you, it is very expencive. The regular price is $600. Xp But if you qualify for the adacemic pricing, it is about $250 :|

There are less expensive versions of Finale and so much more that I could tell you, but it would be easier to go to www.finalemusic.com to find out more about about the program, because I couldn't tell you everything!

Thanks for the review!

A real orchestra? Or fake? I bet fake. lol.

I'm going to give you a ten for actually adding an inspiring peice to the portal. Only problem I had is that I thought the dynamics should be more exaggerated, but they were still good. It showed musicality, not my preference of classical peice, but I'm being fair. 10/10 is fair. Nice dude!

PenguinSam responds:

Yeah, the dynamics. Sorry about that. My program doesn't do extremely well with esagerating dynamics. Hopefuly the latest version of said program does (2009 compared to 2006 version).

Oh yes! This orchestra is both real and fake! It was played by a computer, the sounds were recorded live for the crystal clear tone.

I'm very glad that you found this to be inspiring! Hearing comments like that is probably the real reason I compose music, for the enjoyment of others.

I'm glad you enjoyed! (as much as you did)
