Nice piano.
I would of liked it if the start of it were an octave higher, and the notes were softened. It would have enforced a greater contrast between the second hand and start. Apart from that little picky bit you have created an excellent piano piece.
5 outta 5. :D
I know what you mean... I'll look into it soon enough! Thanks!!

Louder isn't always better.
This is extremely loud. The crackle sounds like its because your levels are way too high with too much compression. It's a shame, because it has soo much potential to be a nice dramatic piece. I'll re-review it and score it again if you were to re-master it.
Right now it's about a 6.5/10 for me.
However I do score people 5 when I review for a few reasons. Namely because if im reviewing, it's worth a 5 and secondly, to weigh up with the 0 Blammers. Which always occur.
:)
Keep up the good work!
thank you . .
yes the compression and everything is cranked because i use it in a live situation and i like to make the PA suffer . .
but the crackle is because i whacked it in there . .
ill remove and remaster and up it in the near future.
thank you for the critic

Ahh what can I say.
5/5 - 10/10
...You deserve it.
Excellent piece, a few times some of the strings went a little too high for me. But im a picky bugger. :P Excellent work al around. Love the theme.
Yeah the mix was one of the more difficult parts of this song. Be glad that I turned down the brass instruments significantly or your ears would be bleeding hahahaha
I think I know which areas you're talking about though, and thanks for the comments, I do appreciate them!
Awesome piece.
I love the feeling of this piece its nice and subtle. Excellent solo trumpet and and soloist singer.
However, all this nonsense about 'you have equipment' is just nothing but jealousy. When did it become a crime to have better hardware than everyone else? Please release uptodate pieces, there are other composers here that are also starting off proffessionally (not me) but im sure they could benefit to see the sort of competition they would have to match.
I'm trying to, but with NG rules I can't release everything depending on the project.
Studio psh posh.
I for one think this is a tremendous piece. And take that as a large complement because my taste in music is score music from the massive array of big names in film.
The piece really kicks in and I love it. You've left me wanting more, and although you've left it short, you could have delivered so much more.
In my opinion this raises the bar here, in terms of composition and sound quality. I also agree with the fact a studio is anyone really with a high spec system. It's the knowledge of knowing how to use it to potential. People who give you a low mark for this stupid reason are being unreasonable. VOTE on the piece, NOT the fact he has a good system to work with.
If you ever have the time I would appreciate a low down on how you up your sound quality on your overall production.
Good comments. Thank you.
Love the deepness.
I have a massive bass on my floor, and this totally shakes it! You should bring something in over it eventually though, and really step up the kick.
Your tracks have great potential! And the bass is brilliant. Sounds clean and slick!
Haha, that's what it's for! Shaking things up!
Yep, this was mainly an idea I had which I eventually made in about an hour and then submitted it, cause I couldn't find anything fitting to change the lead. (Life lesson: The deeper the bass, the harder it is to find a fitting accompanying instrument!)
Thanks for the kind words and the review! :D
This is one for the aces!
Yass , its like playing ace combat. :D
Superb!
It's funny that you say that...this piece was inspired by Ace Combat 6! I've only played the demo, but I loved the music. Thank you for the compliments!
Holy moly :O
Im no expert at music, but this is one of the best pieces to come onto newgrounds IMO.
At first I thought the power was lacking, but then it all make sense when you wrap it all up with the strings. The guitar. Is that cherry we all love to pinch from our loved ones cup cake. Astonishing! The drama, the sound, he progression, excellent! As always!
Wow, glad you enjoyed it! Great metaphors in there, you've got a way with words!
Thanks for the review!
Your stuff is excellent.
However, there is so many parts of your stuff that is taken straight out of other scores. You can hear metal gear solid 2 in this.
I think the MGS 2 resemblance is just an accident because I've never played 2. But yeah I do copy a lot from video game and movie scores. That's how one learns and develops his own style!
A potentially great piece.
It started off great. Had a really nice genuine sound, and you were using your symphony really nicely. However, then you brought in the choirs I felt it ruined the entire thing. =(
It was apparent what you were going for but it just didn't come together as it needed to. The choirs staccato's were too random and repetitive. They had no real power to them, and for what you intended them for they took away instead of added.
130+ Was fine until 3mins hit and you bring them back in. Then it went sour again. You said that symphonic choirs is too power hungry. Well, it's a 40gig program. It wont run perfectly on anything that is a lesser machine. And it's not like magnus, or philharmonik where you can pick it up and go. You can get EWSymphonic Choirs to almost sing anything if used correctly.
You have great potential. Keep it up.
7/10 , 3.5/5 (rounded up) 4/5
Thanks for sharing the experience a lot! :)
