This is really nice! All the guitar work was perfect. The synths were good, but were terrible in one particular place where the 'brass' and piano were going solo at 3:25. Other than the various screwups of the synths, which I will excuse because I know how synths can really suck, it was an awesome song. Great use of chords. What key is this in?

This is great. I don't really know what to say. This is easily better than all of the other Ice Cap remixes. Like the last guy said, it's great, and it's original. I can tell that the Audio Portal is definitely the place for you to be. ^_^

This is a very nice piece for beginners to learn from. Hopefully I can learn to play as well as you do. I play some piano, but I suck at it for the most part. I can't point out any flaws at the moment, but I can say that it is beautiful in its simplicity. It'd make a nice loop for a movie or game. It's two AM here, so I must go to bed. I've stayed up just to listen to this piece and leave my thoughts.

Hey!
I was worried whether people would understand what I was trying to do with this opus. If you ever need sheet music, don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you for gracing me with your lovely reviews.

This song is cool. I like it. The tuba sounds really fake, but it goes pretty well with the rest of the song. I think there were too many tempo changes, but that's just my opinion. This is pretty good. I like the intro the most.... before the snare roll...

... but not great. I like it, but I feel that there could be a lot improvements made on this. The high pitched piano-ish synth and the one you used to accompany it gave me a headache. It needs a lot of work...

If this is the demo, I know I'm definitely going to be blown away by the full version. This is really cool. I don't think I can think of anything to improve at all. The song makes me feel like my ears are getting high and having a party. I love this song.

This is okay, but synth guitars aren't good for songs. They just suck. Trust me, I know. Ditch the synth/midi guitar, and have a decent player record something for you.
The bass is good, and so is the organ and synth brass. They sound cool, but the synth guitars ruined it.
Sorry if I sound like I'm being an ass, but it's 1 AM here and I'm having a bad day. Either I'm not sleeping well or I'm not at all. I don't mean to be an ass about your song.

I don't mind at all. I actually appreciate what you're telling me. I'll remember that next time. I also was going for more of a retroey(?) feel to the song, thus the synth.

I like it... Somewhat.... The synths all sound so out of place, even with nice accompanying instruments used with them. This is cool, but I just didn't feel it. Also, I'm not a big fan of the Fruity Loops Studio series, I prefer something more simple, like Mixcraft 4. It has a library (even if some of the loops suck), and it has features that let you make up rythms with synth instruments in clip form. (ex: you can use a drum kit synth to 'build' the drums you have here) Not saying FL isn't good, but MXC works better for me when I want to make tech, trance or dance.

is mixcraft 4 free??

I like the way you used the various synth to make harmonies and keep a nice driving beat. The lead rythm was off a bit, but I'm assuming that was intentional because it sounded very cool. The entire song is amazing. I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into this. Overall, I love it.
Author's Response:
yea it was intentional to be off haha. glad you enjoyed it! and yea i did work on it extremly hard. I actually put alotta heart into this song. something i've noticed is that i've stopped putting alotta heart into my songs but with this one i changed that haha. this is my pride and joy here!

The beginning sounds pretty scary. I'd say it'd be good for a scary movie. I hear a familiar melody in there from another submission I listened to ages ago. Good work! There are so many transitions, but that makes it more cool. In a few places, the synth and the choir didn't fit. That was around 2:09 to 2:20 seconds into it. This is really cool, keep it up!
Author's Response:
Hey, thanks for the review. I was kind of going for something more ominous in the beginning that transitioned to something light and ethereal. As for the familiar melody, I do have a piano part from this song that is close to one of my other songs, Emotionally Screwed. The only other explanation that I can offer is that the melody that your thinking of might have used some of the same loops as I used here. I hear what you're saying about the choir not matching and I tried to fix that in post production, messing with the levels, but some of it still got through. Thanks for the compliments. Will do.
