Reviews for Guitar Vs. Piano [ver. XCEED] (Goukisan Remix)

[Therm0]

Seriously Man, Piano.

I'm going to make this a short review--and I know you're not going to like what I have to say, so I'm only going to say the negative things. (Assume everything else is perfect--because it is.) The piano is far, far too quiet--you could've at least EQ'd it to the point where, if it is that quiet, made it a little more noticeable. In parts where the piano in the original song are supposed to be the 'lead,' everything else sounds like the same thing over and over, because it is. It's one thing if you have a quiet piano, but at least make the part a little more interesting. Those parts are just so boring man. :( I liked everything else, just, the piano is what makes the song original and without piano, this is just like every other song. Yes, it's a good 'every other song,' but it is just like every other song. Please release a re-master :( It would probably mean a lot to everyone. Thanks man.

Well, I'm not exactly the professional in terms of actual audio engineering, so I have so much to learn. Also, I don't know if the parts seem boring to you, or if you haven't heard the original 1.2 and noticed that I used the exact same melodies XD;; I guess I can't deny anything against turning up the piano, but let me reiterate that there can be as much as 4 electric guitars in one band instead of 4 keyboards o: I'll think about that re-master though, but I'd rather do those kinds of things for my original compositions, which I hope you'll like if you ever bump into them! Thank you for the insightful review!

This has easily got to be one of the best remixes.

Although the piano is a little quite, as stated many times in previous post, the song is absolutely perfect. The fact that I like it so much is that it has a unique style while still be on track with the original song. VERY well done. 10/10 5/5

rtnario responds:

I kept a hundred percent faithful to the original melodies, and then added what was lacking to make it a more complete song ^^ Glad you liked it!

Goukisan is pro hehe

The guitar and drums are extremely well done. My compliments. But MadenameXD does make a really good point here, and I thought of the exact same when I listened to the song.
The piano, at some points, cant even be heard. Louder them and you'll have hell of a remix!

Still nicely done, as a big GvP fan I applaud you, but please do fix the piano.

rtnario responds:

My mistake D: But I was always more of a metalhead than anything else. Personal preferences I guess, but a simple volume adjustment could've done the trick...too late XD Thanks for the review!

I hear the piano but..

Sorry I have to agree with MadenameXD because the piano is way to quiet. Don't get me wrong, it's very good though imo.

rtnario responds:

Yeah, cause it wouldn't be at its state right now if it wasn't XD Thanks.

Piano

The piano was a major part to this, and they had it loud for a reason. The reason I'm only giving a 5/10 and a 3/5 is because of a lack of half the main song. The song in parts focuses on the piano as an essence of putting the song together, but by making the piano much quieter, and covering a lot of things with drums, it's seeming repetitive of drums and guitar. If you aren't going to have the piano be its normal self, I personally would recommend just cutting that part out because it's tiny in the background with loud drums in front.

rtnario responds:

Well, some valid points made about how you interpret the original. I guess you would've appreciated my original concept, where I'd have both a full band and a complete orchestra playing this remix. However, that's nowhere near as common as a simple band with keyboards XD I'd rather have five guitars and one keyboard instead of five keyboards and one guitar...to each his own o:

Thanks for the insightful review, though. Will seriously keep it in mind when I work on something like this again :D
