Really Cool
This song style reminded me a lot of edgen, bill brown and some zimmer. I liked it overall a lot and, personally, the only flaw with it would have been to make it a little longer. Other than that, I enjoyed the song and hopefully you keep putting them out, great job-DrZ
A little longer you say eh!? I would have, but the contest said a short song, and this was already bordering on too long (1:40), it was supposed to be around 1 minute, so yes, I tried to make it as small as possible, this was the best I could do.
I'm glad you enjoyed the song, thank you for the review ^^.
YAY!!!
Dude, your stuff totally rocks!
Good Points
-The feeling of tanks just coming to the frontlines, ready to do damage is here. I could imagine JohnnyUtah using this as a "glory moment" ready to ruined by a friend. For example, there's the tankman running for cover from robots, and he's about to plant C4 in their base to explode, then one of his team-mates snipes him, and he's like, "YAY, I GOT ONE, YIP---wait..."
-Has your soundtrack feeling in there.
-Sounds like an easy loop, good for the flash.
-Nice percussion in the beginning.
Bad Points
-Can't really think of anything, it's just the slightest bit repetitive, but that may be it, I just can't see anything bad in this song.
Nice!
-SuperDrummer146
-Check my audio, especially "Dreamerz: Machines Will Fall"
I bet that repetitive factor came from those damn congo drums which I love so much. I also used Bongo drums, but meh, the difference between the two in this song are not distuinguishable.
I'm glad you enjoyed the piece, i'll definately check out your song ^^.
Hold the phone....
Maestro is in the house!
Woah, stellar comeback man, this is a great track on many levels. Excellent energy with the timpani and tribal percussion, congas? The melody takes its place beautifully in the arrangement, excellent choir parts, those really make this one stand out as pro sounding. Those low brass blasts, french horns? not too certain, I'm an amateur when it comes to the orchestra, give a delicious, intense feeling.
Hmm...I would love to hear the tribal percussion drop out a little earlier than it did, it seems to be played out a little by the end, the 'thwack' sound is quite prominent in the mix. It's minor I know, take it with a pinch of salt.
Anyway, bottom line, topclass effort, one of your best, if not the best.
Keep pushing for glory.
I understand fully dj_padman1, those congo drums, are so damn hard to work with. I literally created 5 different loops for it, and if you listen closely they do morph, but unfortunately that "thwak" was the one sound that didn't seem to want to go away >:(. Removing it also seemed to leave a gaping hole, so I was in a pinch! Damn those lovable and pleasant congo drums!
Still I know what you mean, and in the future i'll know what to do. This was honestly my first attempt at using congo drums, and i'm very impressed with the power and emotions they portrayed in the song, I assume I will be using them a fair deal as time goes by.
Thanks for the review dj_padman1, always a pleasure to read from a friend ^^.
excellent
could this be MaestroSorrow himself? o_o
it's definently true that all of your songs have a story to them. this one was no differnt. i can invision a battlefield when i hear this song.it almost feels as if i have entered an alternate reality and i am going into war.. your technique's are improveing and evolving with every new song.
most importantly though. im glad your back man!
5/5

Hmm, it is good to hear from you again zerofalse. Yes I have decided that I am nowhere near ready to tackle the real world yet, and leaving newgrounds prematurely was perhaps not the best move. I did learn an aweful lot, but an aweful lot was simply not enough. So I plan to stick around a good deal, and help as many people as I can during my stay.
Your vision is close to mine, my vision involved the fighting of two great swordsmen, cloaks flapping, soldiers beside them dying, and so forth. I have a huge backstory to the whole thing, but have neither the time, energy, or space to write it ;).
Thank you for the welcome back, i'm glad to be here.
hmm
Ahhhh ok so that's how it's done
*takes notes
Very nice nothing more really needs to be said.
Just one question though. How long have you been making music?
in exactly 15 days will be my first year and second month of making music.
The many many hours of neglected school work finally worked out I suppose ^^.
I hope the song was useful in some way.
