Reviews for "++ The Journey Begins ++"

i don't think so :)

for me it sounds more like ending than beginning... I mean that happy ending where the heroes are now just thinking back on their adventures.....everything bad is over and they are happy and feeling good... like me listening to this song ! I can clearly see it as a ending, really... anyways, great song dude !

Well, in all honesty, I was torn myself when I was working on it. I personally felt it could be an ending theme too, however I didn't want to add too much, so when I completed it I figured it would work out better as a beginning journey theme.

Regardless, thanks for the feedback.

Its moderate.

I can see how this can fit into an RPG.Its a little bit too repetitive but it loops very well.

I like this...

nice upbeat track, the composition was a bit too poppy for my tastes-but it perfectly fits the mood you're going for and its certainly catchy. Great job putting this track together.

the guitar strings have a great feel, some very happy arpeggiation that flow over the top of everything nicely. The pizzicato strings (I think thats what it is) are a nice addition, and the bassline is simple and great. The flute interlude was my favorite part, thats a very cool, good structured solo.

Great job with the sequencing, as you introduced the guitar tones, then the strings, fused those, had an interlude, and the combined all the instruments playing and added new hand percussion making for a grand last chorus, and then did a simple conclusion. You kept everything pretty basic and easy to follow, which is an an essence for a relaxing, laid back track like this. No real criticism here, although some of your synths;/samples are not the most authentic sounding. But it's suitable for an old school (but not too old-maybe mid late 90ish) RPG game. And you mixed everything quite well, as its pretty clear and the instruments are well defined. maybe you could start off or end with a warm, swelling pad unless if you're going for a looped type.

Excellent job once again!

It's always a pleasure reading your reviews.

I totally went for the SNES era RPG style music. Nothing too over the top, but something you could listen to over and over and not really get irritated listening to.

I'm never satisfied though. I always feel there are room for improvements. I take the things I've learned and try to slowly enter them into new songs, so, maybe someday you'll hear something REALLY good =)

Thanks again, I appreciate it.

Soft, gentle and carrying. Really great tune. I think you did a bang up job pumping this song up. Nice work.

kelwynshade responds:

Thanks.

I like it quite a bit. It's simple and happy.

I really like the song....

but it is just a tad repeatative. I would have loved a bridge somewhere in the song.

However, that is my only critisism. Besides that it is a cute little tune
