Reviews for ".HLS. Winter Wonderland"

Ahhh.

That wind and light piano at the beggining give it that nice feel that you would hear that kind of music in the background, then when the song become more dance it sounds like something exciting is happening.

I am downloading this one ^^

heartless1298 responds:

Thanks man!

Very awesome =).

Amazing song you got here =). I love the winds effects and the builds and fades but i would have to complain about the piano sound =p. FL Keys don't really fly too often with me. You can look for 4frontepianomodule a VST thats quite a nice piano. Also the VST Nexus has lots of pianos that arnt bad =).

Beat = 8/10
Melody = 10/10
Bass = 9/10
Setup = 10/10
Overall = 9.5/10

9/10
5/5
Downloaded.

Oh and this sounds quite simular to Winterwind-Ns's song "Surrealism" =P. Just thought id give you a heads up on that.

Awesome song =).

heartless1298 responds:

Thanks for the review man!! And also thanks for the mention of that VST. I'll go get it. And I have Nexus, I've just never messed around with the pianos in it.

holy god dude!!!

wow this is truely epic, amazing beyond all compare

if you make a few more song like this, i would download it all and listen to this all the time

heartless1298 responds:

Haha thanks!

Very Epic

I liked this track, it was like a journey in a way, I like when I get that feeling from a song, keep up the work. Oh and you asked a question on one of my songs asking if I use a fruity loops piano... I use a synth program called Nexus for my pianos, you should look into it its great :)

Equation

heartless1298 responds:

Yea i have Nexus, I just never tried any of the pianos in it. Thanks for the review!

Few mistakes.

Well you have alot of things I like and there really isnt much I don't like.

I'll start off with the FL Keys, I went over it a little but I'll go a little deeper this time. In my mind a Piano isn't a fast melodic instrument when it comes to Trance. (Forget Happy hardcore Piano for now) So if you ask me you could put delay and reverb on a piano and then have hit the higher notes fewer times creating more atmosphere. As it stands right now it seems more like a back up instrument to your synthes.

As you go on your drums enter but never really change. The kick could use some EQing and the clap is fine for now. Some more percussion couldn't hurt though. Open hihats or closed hihats its all good.

Melodic progression was interesting, I didn't excpect it to augment like it did. Some of the transitions were a bit fast along with with the build to it. Overall not much I have to say about the melody.

It needs some work but its good practice.

heartless1298 responds:

Thanks! About the the hi-hats part, I was going to add them, but I don't know why I didn't. I will take all your advice into consideration, because I need it.

Again, thanks for the review!
