Reviews for "AIM - Bellowers of Grief"

I love ambient very much... but may I ask...
Do you have a song called If You Want To?

Everratic responds:

I'm glad you like it. Yes, I do. I republished it https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/474562

I love how grand this track is. It definitely lines up with the picture!

Everratic responds:

Thank you!

Im not too into this type of music but this wasnt as bad.

Everratic responds:

Well, thanks for commenting despite not being into it.

this is so beautiful!

Everratic responds:

Thanks!

Gorgeous track! I'm a sucker for the Dorian mode (minor with the sixth note in the scale raised a half step), which you use at the beginning. This piece feels somewhere between Jeremy Soule's Skyrim soundtrack and Harry Gregson-Williams' Narnia score.

My only advice is to master the track. You have plenty of room to maximize the volume without losing the dynamic range. If this appeared in a playlist, listeners would have to turn their speakers up to clearly hear.

And congrats on this being Frontpaged today!

Everratic responds:

Thanks for the review! It's nice to hear from you again :D I'm also a sucker for Dorian! I definitely took some inspiration from Jeremy Soule and will check out the Narnia score.

I get that the track could theoretically be louder, and that in the waveform above it appears that it can simply be raised, however, I did carefully master the track and chose this specific volume level. Although it's quiet by NG standards, the truth is that the peaks of this song are louder than many orchestral and film mixes, including many Skyrim songs. This kind of orchestral music is extremely dynamically sensitive so I wanted a clean, non-limited sound. I'm not a professional, so if you feel I'm wrong or missing something, please feel free to follow up :)
