[Just Begun]

Wow!

Wow, just wow, this song is amazing. It's so much better than all the rest of your songs. Dude I want to hear more!!!

[_-={Wolven Shrine}=-_]

Very good

I like it, especially the wolves, I can imagine someone walking into an abandoned shrine out of interest and the need for a safe haven for the night. Also they can hear the wolves coming closer, it seems this shrine holds more than what it originally showed to have...
AS to your music, its very good, but I find the sounds a bit repetitive, I've heard it before, you need to get more instruments and variation of sound files, make it more orchestra like... if you know what I mean. Listen to winterwind for reference. he has a very good range in his orchestrals.

MaestroRage responds:

I know what you mean, though I didn't quite want this piece to be that varied to be honest. I don't have any kind of orchestral training, until I learn how an orchestra fully works, I will probably have holes in my music. WinterWind has this training, and uses it well, though to be honest, I don't really want to produce the kind of tracks he does, and will veer off in my own direction when the time comes.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it! I apologize for the delayed response!

[Evil-Dog - Fierce Battle]

Should be in classical

Very good, nice drums. This music piece should be in the classical section tho.

[Discordant Nocturne]

Very good

As I've said before your music is really good. What program(s) do you use?

[_-= keyboard ensemble =-_]

Decent

Good drums =) But some of the other stuff sounded a bit cheasy, you need to make it more natural and less synthetic.

[the Composer]

Very good

You've really captured something in that song, I can't say exactly what, but its beautiful. You have really got talent, the flash was very good, it communicated a lot without much voice play. 5/5 mate. I want to hear and see more =)

[Mourn the Sea]

Not bad, fell a bit on the instruments though.

As Lacrioso has already done a superb job of advising you ill give you a few pointers for the future. If you can get a program that does good orchestrals, get it, fast. The main instrument was very good and clear but everything else was muddy and horrible sounding. if you use an orchestral backing make it similar to the main theme and in this case you would have wanted to make the strings create an immense and epic feeling of longing, using building chords and slow tempo, a long drawn out note getting louder would have been perfect.
Also weave the main instrument or tune in and out of the orchestral backing, a bit like weaving a basket if you get my meaning.
Next time put an orchestral backing or add at least 4 other intruments into it for more depth, if the flute or whatever it was had more strength at certain points (built up to a louder tone) and you made it have 'peaks' in sound whereby you held the note it would have strengthened the feeling wuite a bit.
All in all the tune was great but would have benefitted from a stronger feeling and more instruments. Keep up the good work your doing well, i can see a lot of talent for the future and look forward to hearing more of your songs.

Thankee muchly, I shall take into account what you've said ^_^

[Echoes Through Eternity]

Beautiful but flawed

I have to admit that all the parts of your songs except the guitar seems to be crystal clear, although the vocals generally sound far away.
how do you record? because if the guitar was made clear, perhaps by jacking it straight into the recording instrument, it would sound really really awesome.

[The Fade]

Ok,

this song was ok, but you really need to make that guitar have more bass, it really ruins this good song. It has way too much treble and you cant hear the playing of it properly. A 'din' would be a good way to describe the guitar.

[LoZ - Beauty of Zora's Domain]

Nice piece.

Excellent job, keep making things like this, its really good.
