["dread battle"]

Oh, no! Time is running out!

The rushing feeling of the time crunch! Some important stuff is about to go down! Will we make it time?! We will if my sword has anything to say about it, Haazaa!

Ankalegon responds:

lol darn right!

[Grand Valley Fanfare]

Lovely tune!

There is no replacing a live recording with real players. I really enjoyed the peace, Cheers!

hummel4trumpet responds:

Thanks for the comment. This piece was written by Eric Ewazen. He is a very talented composer. You should check out some of his other pieces.

[Get Off My Island]

Great Song!

The song itself is so enjoyable! The mixing hurts, though! The treble is raging in my ears, way too much in my face (ears). Try to turn the treble down a bit in the mix (Lower the high end). It could be over compression, but I think it may just need some high end EQ.

Cheers!

P.S.
Complete respect, love the tune :)

Or4nges responds:

Thanks man!

Are you sure your not boosting the frequencies through your speakers or something? I'm not getting any problems on my end.

then again, the cymbals are kind of up there. Maybe i'll cut em a bit :P.

Thanks again!

[Death and Boss Theme]

Great work.

This is a pretty epic piece, I must say. You have some good ideas and your musical pallet is fairly developed. One suggestion I may give when writing orchestral music is try using some tempo changes and dynamics. The piece is great as it is but adding some more powerful dynamics (You may have written some dynamic changes but it's difficult to tell over Sibelius Midi) and tempo changes can bring life to a piece. Over all a great work and keep them coming!

HotSax responds:

Thanks :). Yeah, there are a few dynamic changes in there, but, as you said, Sibelius made it hard to hear them. I'll keep it in mind.

["Tai Chi Orb" RAC5]

Triumphant

Phenomenal work my friend! I can feel the struggle, intensity, and resolution. Very well thought and love the epic horns!

XayberOptix responds:

I'm honored to I have earned your compliments!

[Data Load]

This is Raw!

I really enjoyed this piece! It ends right when a new musical idea comes in though! :(
The low frequency sounds just a tad muddy on my KRK's. I would cut the low's on anything that doesn't specifically need it. Aside from that this piece is bumping and you have some good stuff here! Cheers!

Edwin47 responds:

Hey, thanks!

I know it ends when something like the chorus or somewhat should come, right? But I had the feeling that if I did it more longer, I would ruin it.

Aside from that, I'd be pleased if you send me a PM with your "new musical idea" and maybe I'll try to put it in ;)

[A Broken Foundation (Preview)]

Celtic

Your music has a dash of Celtic flavor , which I love. Really looking forward to hearing this one :) Keep it up!

10/10
5/5

AshleyAlyse responds:

Oh, does it? I never really noticed, hahaha.
Thank you kindly for the review and vote! :)
I'll definitely try my best to finish this song soon. :)

[Ancient Times]

Yes.

I can feel the ancient intensity. Keep your ideas consolidated and develop them. You have enough material in this piece to last an hour, I kid you not! Really awesome job, I love when the percussion comes in, makes it sound meaty! Good luck in your studies and keep up the EPIC!

5/5

CaptinEpic responds:
