I think it's much better.
Ochestrated is better than plucked sounds lol. Fit only for Link huh? XD I think Link would be proud to show off his master sword and triforce in the name of this song. Even better job remaking it and remastering it. Keep it real~
~[IZK]
(P.S. Maybe I'll remix SSJ3 Goku's Theme. Maybe, just a thought I wanted to put out there. I'll make sure to give you your credit if I do XD)
Thanks man! I agree, orchestrated sounds much better than plucked, but hey, what can ya do? Eat cake whenever you get the opportunity!
Zelda? Hell yeah.
I love zelda. Now, How come I felt like I have heard this song before, in your style?... Odd... but anyway, well done. Loved it since I was an even younger kid XD Great job lol. Can't get enough of that Zelda, especially Link to the Past. Great rendition, man. Major props. Keep it real~
~[IZK]
Thanks man! Glad you liked it!
Well there's a problem with this song...
Not that it is bad, but it's pretty good. There just... just too much room for more than was is presented. There could be so much more.
Now, when I hear this song... definitely to me, and others probably as well, they could remix this and change into someting completely different, and could probably fit your wanting of this to be halloween-ish.
I hear this, and I can definitely hear a drum and bass remix coming on in my mind, if you don't mind. This are like one of those songs that people put out there just so remixers, like myself, could want to remix, not that that was your intention.
But personally, I would love to remix this song. There is just so much missing and so much to be filled, even with it being an ambient like song. It is pretty well done, but I think you can do a little bit more with this, and probably achieve your halloween feel in the process. Nice track. Good job.
~[IZK]
Well, I appreciate your advice. And if you do remix this, remember to give me credit :D And it was meant to sound halloween-ish, but I abandoned the idea. Anyways, thanks, and check out some of my other submittions.
Alrighty. Pretty goood...
Hmm... Here's the blow by blow:
1. Intro: loving the fade in... Nice and smooth rise out of it..
2. Good job adding a pause afterwards, and then just immediately bringing in the drums
3. Hmm... this song sounds a bit creepy to mee... rather than happy.
4. Are those really xylophones? Hmm... I can'tt ell...
5. Great job with the breaks in the drums
6. Lol. Nice rise in pitch with the synths. That kept me interested.
7. Oh? Done already? Damn... I'm not one for short songs... kinda leaves me open-ended. But the song was great.
8. Great job. Much originality and diversity. I like that.

Overview

Well let's see... I don't believe I have any problems with this song... it was pretty well constructed and put together very nicely... although, that rise in pitch.. was a little bit weird for me... it was kind of odd hearing that like right in the middle of the song. It sounds more like something industrial or like darker rather than a happy type of song, if that is what you were aiming for. I feel it ended too abruptly. Just 'bam', it's over... and I was like "......? That's it? o.o Oh... okay. Nice." Nice use of reverb and delay at the end. I love songs that taper out that way. Great job though. A few things that bug me here and there, but I'm, over all, pleased with this production. (It really does sound like someone is having a serious phobia with xyolophones. I could imagine someone running away from it or something, screaming in terror XD) Great job, and I hope to hear more from you. Keep it real~
~[IZK]
Wow thanks!
I think I never had such a huge review before! thanks again for that!
I love it that you really listend to it that 'intensely' tho' I never meant this song to be happy I understand your points.
I think I've grown a bit with music making since I made this song and I could clean it up a bit since there is a lot of distortion and not enough EQing but Im still pleased with the result as it is right now.
Thanks again for the review and there's more of my music at my overview page!
(let me warn you, its all pretty different than this song)
Think this could be considerd...
Jazzstep? I think so... it does sound pretty jazzy. Great job. And it does remind me of Megaman in a sense. Probably when Mega's virus busting... yeah... totally can relate to that. Love the pianos, and the drums fit very well. It's like... an action-adventure type song. You can like... imagine someone fighting or just like... running off somewhere heavenly. Great job on the song, mate. Keep it real~ (Awesome intro and outro by the way. That was kick ass.)
~[IZK]
wow man, thanks alot!
I believe that this deserves more credit...
Than what's given. This sounds awesome to me. I would love to know how to glitch my drums like that. And the guitar just makes it sound more epic. Although, the high pitch "wahwahwah..." should be a little bit lower in tone. I like how you slowed it down, by the way. That was great. Hmm... little bit too slow now... I think you should speed it up, instead of keeping it steady at 3:00 onward. Nice key ending... that was epic. Too slow on some parts, and it gets too... let's say "boring", for the lack of a better word, but it's great nonetheless. Great job, you two. Keep it real~
~[IZK]
Sounds very awesome.
I love the intro. Reminds me of this one place in Dark Cloud... (video game by the way XD) Here's the blow by blow:
1. Great use of guitar in the intro.
2. Love the synth man. Good job.
3. The kick is too punchy, IMO. It would probably sound better if it was just a tad bit more blunt. It kinda hurts my ears listening to a clicky kick. (alliteration! :D say that 5 times fast.)
4. Hmmm... where's the guitar?! I feel incomplete! XD I think I can hear it in the b/g once the synths and the drums come out full force like that. Oh.. there it is XD
5. I think a little bit more variation should be put on the drums. You have the synths down, and the guitar is excused, since it just fits so well.
6. Great job on the outro. Like how you brought back the guitar.
7. Bit too short for my taste, but I love it either way.
-------------
Overview

This is a pretty well constructed song. I really like it. I think the kick should be less punchy and more blunt. Oh, and put up the volume on the snares, and lower the volume on the the open hat, but just a bit. It kinda gets in the way of the snare. I could probably listen to this for hours, considering it's very upbeat and calming at the same time. I think a nice orchestral or string like synth, besides the guitar, could fit in there, just to give the song some emotion and feeling. Great job, overall. Keep working at it, and keep it real, mate~
~[IZK]
thanks for all the tips im gna start work on an even better version XD
A pretty well done composition.
Nice and swell. Great use of guitar man. Gotta love that Fruity slayer ;3 Here's the blow by blow:
1. Nice flowing intro. Good job fading it in.
2. Okay.. way too abrupt of an intro o.O Kinda scared the crap out of me. That felt way too fast. Usually, it think it's better easing things in than just presenting like "BAM! Here you go!"
3. Love the beats. I think the kick is a bit too punchy for this song, though. It should be a little bit more blunt, so as not to make it sound too annoying. I think it's a bit annoying, but it flows well wtih the beat, and whatever floats your boat when it comes to making the drums :D
4. I like the immediate drop down you used to give the guitar its own little solo.
5. The synths are very well done. Although, a little bit too loud. As well as the other guitar. That one is way too high in pitch and volume for my ears. -1 here D:
6. Love the hi-hats. Good rhythm.
7. The snare could use a little bit more volume.
8. Your volume control feels all out of whack... and it's kind of frustrating. It gets loud, then lowers down to about medium, back to loud, soft, loud.... it gives me a bit of a head ache. It's not bad, but I think you should control it better, so you don't have this problem in future songs.
9. Variation with the drums are well created. The patterns are pretty decent.
10. You did pretty well. I like the song. Very upbeat.
-------------
Overview

Okay... Main problem: volume control on the synths and the sounds (drums not included. They sound fine). That is making it hard for me to listen to it without cringing at it a little bit. I think the way you introduce the drums with the synths was too early and too quick. Easing things in gives it a better flow of what you're trying to present. I believe that high pitched guitar near the end should be farther in the background. It's too loud and too high pitched to be in the forefront of the song. Lower that down some levels and you're golden. Good job, nonetheless. I really like it. Keep practicing! Keep it real, mate~
~[IZK]
Okay! Diggin...
The intro percussion. That was good. Here's the blow by blow:
1. Intro was presented very well. The drums stood out very well, and set it up pretty efficiently. (Ew.. it think I spelled that wrong XD)
2. I still can't get over them violin synths!!! XD
3. Everything seems to flow very well as the song goes along. I like it. Great job on fixing it up.
4. Probably could've mastered it a little bit better, but hey, what's important is the song :D
5. I like the vocals. Not much to say there.
6. Hmm... I think the drums could use just a tiny bit more 'oomph'. They don't seem to stand out as much.
7. Ooh! Nice variation on the violin! Love its solo, man! Rock on with that.
8. It all feels so synthy and instrumental. Love it.
9. I think... that most of the synths felt a little bit too high in terms of pitch. It was giving me a bit of a head ache... but it's all acceptable.
10. The drum patterns are okay. They could use some more variation. Love the kicks that are involved. But... they need to be louder. I can hear the hi-hats over them! XD
11. I love how you sliced the vocal that says 'I love you' (I think it says that...) Gave the song a nice drop down, then speed up.
12. Problem.... The bass.... I feel so empty when I can't hear it D: I know it's there... but it feels overshadowed by the synths. It makes me feel uncomfortable with listening to the song.
13. Great fade out with the speed down on the vocals. I like that bit.
-------------
Overview

Well... over all, I must say that this was quite the improvement. I think you could've brought out the violin's solo much earlier, rather than using it at the outro, or maybe at least twice. It sounds great though! Hopefully it'll sound even better when the mastering has been done!!! :DDD My only problem is that the pitches in the synths sounded too high for my ears to bear, but I can bear it... just not too high, please ^^; And they sounded too loud over the other synths and then violin in the song, so basically that just refers back to the mastering. This is a great song, and I think you can make something even better!!! :D Maybe a another violin related song perhaps?? ;D Good job, mate!
(Got your email by the by! Sent me straight here XD)
~[IZK]
This was... Okay.
You did pretty well. I'll give you the blow by blow:
1. Great intro. Nice, and general.
2. The airy synth is good, but that little thing behind... that bass synth that just comes in and out.. It just ruins it for me...
3. As the song goes along... I begin to lose my taste for it. I like the drums being repititive, no doubt about that... But I was expecting much more.
4. Everything from the synths to the drums sounds great, all expcept for that little jumpy bass. After hearing it, I just... don't like it anymore...
5. Don't get me wrong, this is a good remix. I've never heard of the orginial song, but this was pretty good.
6. It's not too overpowering, and I've heard some overpowering things lol.
7. I think so much more could be done, but this is pretty good.
8. The bass doesn't do it for me. It jumps in and out... and it leaves me hanging...
9. The outro was okay... nothing too special... but it didn't stand out much...

Overview

You need to do something more with this. It has potential, but... it just doesn't do it for me. It's just too much of the same... It needs even more variation. But, you did well. Just keep working at it, and you'll get better. Keep it real~
~[IZK]
'Aight thanks for the input man! I'll definitely try putting in some more stuff and I'll keep my eye out for what I'm doing with the basses next time.
