NOOOO

ZOMG I would've 10'ed and faved the shit out of this but there's mixing glitches that get annoying :(

Strings need to be brought out a bit more, there's too much low band in my opinion.

but MAN this is EPIC

9/10
5/5

-M

MaestroRage responds:

that is odd, the low end was complained about earlier, and they had said it was too low XD. The strings are well audible in my systems, I didn't want them to take a very strong presence as their melodic progressions are very limited and it's the brass that keeps things moving so I wanted them to take the show.

Thank you for your honest feedback though, i'll have to look into that bass end again, and see if bringing the strings out a bit helps. If so i'll update the song.

Thanks again for the review, glad you liked it!

reminds me of something

This reminds me of the marching band show I'm in

MaestroRage responds:

Your marching band is evil D:

I love you guys <3

Thanks for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

I am amazed

I have been skeptical about your recent works because they seemed to generic. I mean they're still fucking amazing better than 99.9% of any normal human could do, but it seemed you didn't try to put your own spin on things..

But this piece speaks differently.

I can see many different emotions in the backdrop

Percussion: The triplets on the snare make me feel like I'm charging, that I need to get this bunker/hill or else I'll probably die>
Strings: The quick changes between the notes, with few drawn out ones, make it feel very exciting, that I shouldn't stand still and I should keep on my toes...keeps up the suspense
Brass: Really compliments the strings well, and the bells are amazing backdrops.

I really hope you can show people how you make this stuff.
What do you use?

I'm utterly amazed by this piece.

MaestroRage responds:

Sure, I have nothing to hide.

I use Fruity Studios as my sequencer and East West libraries for my instrument sounds. This particular product was made entirely in East West Symphonic Orchestra Gold PRO, except for the choir sounds, which was East West Symphonic Choirs ;D!

And the recent stuff is me trying to find new styles and ideas to toy around with. True they are fairly generic, then again it's difficult mastering a new idea right away so I start off by producing what people have heard already and treading waters softly from there.

Thanks for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

Epic!

Wow, this is amazing, i say that a lot, but is true, it feels very epic, like hollywood quality...

And dunno why newgrounds put those spaces in the URLs, thats weird....

MaestroRage responds:

To stop bot crawlers. Bots crawl the internet searching for email addresses to spam, Newgrounds helps prevent that by throwing a space somewhere to throw them off.

Thanks for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

O: I lurve this.

Honestly, this sounds a lot like something you'd hear on the menu screen of an epic dvd or something xD. I like. Great song.

MaestroRage responds:

Thanks! And again for the review, glad you liked it!
