Reviews for "Celestial Skies"

Thank you BlackMorass!
Great!
Woo, a real beautiful piece of pianoplay this is, smooth, with clear quality and many layers of music. Reminds me of Final Fantasy, which is, I suppose, since I've only heard this specific style of pianoplay while playing that game. Sounds great, really ambient and relaxing, like a river rolling over swollen rocky waterfalls, sparkling in the sun, clouds so white and translucent. Keep it going.

Wow, thank you so much! Those are some very nice comments :D Thanks for associating this with FF, and I like the imagery that you got from this piece. I'm using a harp tho- not a piano.
Thanks a lot CD! :D
Very nice.
Just a few thoughts:
Pretty noticeable "pop" at 0:15ish (messy clip editing?). Doesn't show up anywhere else, so not a big issue. The bassier pad that comes in at around 0:50 is great for depth, because until that point it's all very high end. The dynamics are a bit much at around 1:30...gets a bit too loud, and doesn't really seem appropriate for the tone of the piece.
Otherwise, you have a very nice ambient song here. You obviously had a theme in mind when you wrote it, and it shows through all the way, from the instrumentation to the melodies to the general progression. However, such cohesiveness means that nothing unexpected ever happens. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does mean that after repeated listens the track gets a bit boring. Of course, if you were going for menu music, this really isn't a problem.
Anyways, good job. Keep it up.
Suspended-3rd-Chord responds:
thanks for pointing out the little pop noise at 0:15, I never even noticed that. i don't think it's because of clipping, but because the chord comes to a halt instead of ringing out, resulting in the little pop sound. (i guess a filter would work to edit it out) as for the dynamics around 1:30, it is does indeed overpower the main themes a bit, thanks for suggesting that I soften it up a bit. i'm not good at all with mixing.
anyways, thanks for the good, in depth review and numbers, and I appreciate the criticism dude, it helps so thanks!
Pretty cool!!!
I loved the classical style with harps and strings combinations. Something you could really dream to.
It was very nice and swift to the ears.
That major string background you used near 100 was amazing. It went perfectly with the harp. Not all was perfect however... it got fuzzy at 135 or so, and I had to turn it down. Try to correct that, and this would be a 10 song.
Great job!
Suspended-3rd-Chord responds:
hmm....like there was some clipping? strange, i put a limiter on it, and there was none. it might just be a hardware vs hardware problem. anyways, i'm glad you like this, thanks for the review fatkid!
not bad
sounds like ambient, pretty nice overall
