I added you as a favorite artist!
I just heard some few of your songs, and i found out that you can make some amazing piano work, but this one made me add you to my favorite artist list.
This is amazing! I love Asian music, and this is no exception!

Favorited!
Thank you for the favorite! I'm glad you enjoyed this song!
Well, ya wanted some reviews from me =)
The intro is rather nice. Lovely choice if instruments. I've written a few eastern type songs my self in the past =). I love the way things blend together here and the movement of the actual song. At about 103 the flute instrument works rather well when the other instruments fade in. Gives the song a very relaxed feeling. Reminds me of a few of my tracks for sure! Over all you've done a damn good job on this. Its a tad on the simple side but sometimes simple is beauty! Great work

Thanks for stopping by! :D
I'll probably go check out some of your Eastern songs to hear what they're like! :D
At 1:03, that's actually a piccolo. ^_^ I love that little one.
Thanks for the review~!
Hmm
I'll review this one as I listen.
start-1:00
The first thing that I notice is the FL bassdrum hit. I wouldn't suggest using that because it's not the best orchestral sound out there, in my opinion, and especially not in the way that you used it. The reverb on the actual original sample is way too high to be used with most mixes. Roland Orchestral Rhythm has a bass drum that fits much better with the way you wanted to use it, and there's tons of other soundfonts out there that fit also.
Excellent slowdown at the end of that section though. And the strings for that section were pretty nice-sounding. However, I'm more impressed with that slowdown, as you articulated it well.
1:00-2:00
Right at the beginning of this section, the strings end a bit too quickly. I personally would have stuck to a slower fadeout on the strings in order to avoid that moment of silence.
Everything else about that section, the chords, the melody, the mix, all was good ^_^
2:00-3:00
Nice job articulating the buildup. However...
The section after 2:31 sounds lower in volume than the section before it, although that's supposedly a built-up section. That might just be me though. And I wouldn't suggest using those FL core hits, as the one you started using in that section actually sounds more hiphop-ish than orchestral.
And that's expressed further when that other solo instrument (the name escapes me, but it's a plucked one) starts playing.
3:00-end
Flawless except for one thing, which is when the strings fade out. That's all.
Overall, I liked this piece though. Good use of leitmotiff and the mix was okay. And you stuck with the theme really well. Also, the instrument choice was great!
Rating: 7.7/10
Good job on this!
Congrats on being the first audio reg to be placed under scrutiny by myself tonight.
I guess the drum could've been better. I didn't have any other samples though that had that heavy drum sound, so that one fit the bill the best. I'll look into the Roland one though.
The strings for the section are nice I agree. I had to EQ the samples out and put effects to get them to sound that way though. :P
I actually did like the silence... just not the way I led into it. :/ I might fix that later.
The part at 2:31 isn't actually quieter than the buildup, but I suppose it would sound so since the singular Guzheng stands out a lot.
Again, the core hits were all I had. I should really look into better samples.... >_>;
The part from 3:00 to the end was actually what I considered the MOST flawed part of the song since the strings were hell to work with. I had bad samples so I had to mix around to get them to sound good. I'm glad you liked them though.
Thanks for the listen and review! I really appreciate it!
Fap fap fap
Muito bom!!!
Love the tempo and melody changes.
I was hooked at :28
Good luck in the contest!
Quite the odd review title.... O_o
OMG
I think I love you. This reminds me of my home. I am part Chinese and part Japanese. You did a good job. I love the Erhu, drums, strings, and Guzheng. Sounds like the intro to a martial arts movie. All you need is a GONG at the end. If you couldn't find one use cymbals instead. GOOD WORK!!! THANK YOU!!!
Thanks for the song, In return I'll teach you some Chinese words.
Ni Hao Ma? - How Are You?
Wo Hen Hao. - I'm Fine.
Ma Ma Hu Hu - I'm So So.

P.S. Can you make Korean and Japanese songs too. I just love the continent of Asia and I want NG to know it. If you could make the Japanese and Korean Music that would be great. All you need is a Shamisen Plug-In and a Koto Plug-In. My friend couldn't find one so he substituted the Shamisen with a Banjo. I couldn't tell the difference that well.
The koto ( %u7434 or %u7B8F ) is a traditional Japanese stringed musical instrument derived from the Chinese zither (guzheng). The koto is the national instrument of Japan. Koto are about 180 centimeters (71 in) long, and made from kiri wood (Paulownia tomentosa). They have 13 strings that are strung over 13 movable bridges along the length of the instrument. Players can adjust the string pitches by moving these bridges before playing, and use three finger picks (on thumb, index finger, and middle finger) to pluck the strings.
The shamisen or samisen (Japanese: %u4E09%u5473%u7DDA, literally "three flavor strings"), also called sangen (literally "three strings") is a three-stringed musical instrument played with a plectrum called a bachi. The pronunciation in Japanese is usually "shamisen" (in western Japan, and often in Edo-period sources "samisen") but sometimes "jamisen" when used as a suffix (e.g., TSUGARU-JAMISEN).
LIKE TSUGARU FROM DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION.
I LOVE U 4 MAKING THIS SONG!!!

Wow, what a review.
Firstly, I'm glad that this song does remind you of home. I, myself, am Chinese. My parents are from Hong Kong, so I know Cantonese. Unfortunately I can't read or write very well, but I do know how to speak it. I'll probably learn guo yu later.
I personally could tell the difference between western instruments and eastern instruments, even though the difference is very subtle.
I'll look into making a Japanese style song for you. ^_^
