Wow, thanks for the lengthy review!

"Hello sir, very nicely done! I don't know what sort of thing this will turn out to be, but I have very high hopes!"

Thank you :D. I have high hopes for it too, so much that I gave out the FLP to a certain number of NG members to see what they could do to help me out, then send it back to me so that I can determine a final version of the song. I really have some high standards for this, and I hope it turns out well :3.

"High production value (I especially like the swooshes that lead into every other tom hit)"

Lol, glad you noticed such a little thing xD.

"although a few extra tweaks would give it some more sparkle. A little more work with mixing for instance, to give the piano and voices more of a dynamic and "performed live" feel."

I'm crap at mixing, so I've actually considered looking for some female vocalists on NG who might be able to take place of the woman choirs in this song. I doubt that'll be easy.

"Sounds like a great intro to a great piece! It is very filmic, maybe epic-movie-trailer-esque. Think Globus. It will be hard to balance, because the length of your intro suggests a piece of decent length. It is hard to sustain a really huge texture for a long time, and you have just led into a really huge texture. I have confidence in you though. X-D"

Haha thanks xD. I don't have much trouble making long songs, my problem is *starting* songs, although here's a pretty good start IMO so I'll definitely make it as varied and epic as possible.

"As a final note, if you want to make this REALLY pro, the choir and upper strings are what sticks out as the most noticeably midi to me, and they might benefit from something to cover them up a little bit, like a pad, some extra verb or eq. or gratuitous amounts of similar samples. :)'

Hm, those samples are from East/West Symphonic Orchestra, I didn't think from all the sounds you'd find those sounds midi-ish xP. Although I agree that they're very dry; East/West Silver's samples tend to be a bit dry. I'll add a little reverb to them.

"This TOTALLY rocks dude. I will reserve the rest of my comments for the finished version. I'll keep my eye out for it, but if you want a review on that too, shoot me a pm. Again, sweet work!"

Awesome, sure thing. I don't want to push you into reviewing it, but if it's OK with you then feel free :P.

I'll drop you a line when it's finished :).

Thanks again for the amazing review!

"To me it almost sounds like something from a film soundtrack, like The Mummy or something. As long as it evokes imagery, it's pretty good."

Thanks. I'm pretty glad you think of it as that; I've always dreamt of making music for films (actually I already got asked to, with a friend of mine, despite my age :/).

"Like you said, it's not yet done. This little preview doesn't really make the best piece, but when it's done I'm sure it'll sound fantastic. The problem is it might take a while. From how it's progressing so far, it needs a lot of different steps or stages to build up tension. There are a lot of places you could go in this song, and the more, the better, as long as it stays consistent."

Actually there's a better version which I gave out in the forums. Currently around 5 audio artists or so volunteered to help me out in it, so with all of those people working on it, I think it'll be much easier to continue it.

"The various effects in this song really worked well together to create a sort of feeling of adventure or even eeriness. I especially liked the booming sound toward the end of it."

In the newer version I mentioned above, I improved the booming sound at the beginning too. I gave it a bit more reverb and made it a little more booming and mighty.

"The choir is what really sold it for me though. They're effective and can easily vary in style, something I would suggest you try as you continue to make the song. This portion is really nice. Can't wait to hear the whole thing! In this case, the more variation, the better."

Nice work!"

Awesome thanks. I have quite a few different choir sounds (Ahh, Ooh, and possibly even East/West Symphonic Choirs where I can make them chant whatever I want them to chant with the Wordbuilder.

Anyway, thanks again for the great review!

Yep, I actually asked in the Audio Forums for people to help me out with this. There's a good buildup, but then I'm not sure if I can reach the powerful and epic part after the buildup on my own, so I'm having a few people help me :D.
Glad you like it!

Pffft, OK, you're right. Thanks for the name xD.

"This is an amzing piece of work, I love it from beginning to end, not very much though :P"

Yeah...

"First of all the opening was very interesting, The shaker effect was unique and interesting and didn't make it repetetive, Although the shaker sample was quite bland IMO."

Hmm, OK then. I have loads of shakers anyway, I'm sure I'll find a good one :D.

"The piano, the pinnacle of the whole song, fabolous, amazing, spectacular, actually too good for words, It was amazing, The originality of it was simply the best =P"

These compliments make me feel warm'n'fuzzeh.

"The low notes and high notes both contrasted and Made an amzing effect, I guess opposites work well in a song :P:P:P:P:P:P"

The cool contrast was unintentional since I did this in a rush :P.

"The choir, woah, very nice, East/West Rocks"

Yeah, East/West does, but the choirs in the Silver version of EW Symphonic Orchestra aren't really too special. I think if I had to choose between the choirs of East/West Symphonic Orchestra or Magnus Choir, I'd choose Magnus Choir. Although if I had to choose between Magnus Choir and East/West Symphonic Choirs, well, that's a different story :D.

"Long story short, very nice, but credit me on teh name. :P"

Haha yeah OK, thanks for the review xD.

Cool, thanks :D.
