Reviews for Maelstorm (EliteFerrex Remix)

[carlohmf]

Oh no, your work is so suXXorz =(

Kidding aside, I shall make my 1st review of your work. (Is it? XD)

First thing's first. This is one heck of a remix of EliteFerrex's 8-bit Storm. You built upon the original 8-bit loop and turned it into a powerful symphonic metal piece. I really like the way you started with an orchestration of the song and then gradually shifted into RAK. \m/ I noticed the guitar seems to gradually fade at 00:15. Perhaps you should have done a similar effect at 01:40... fade out of course. Like the guitar fades away with a little pitch bend as the orchestration takes over once again. Anyway, I like the way you ended the song. XD

Well, that's about it for my short review. GUD JAB

5/5, 10/10

Oh, my work sucks? So I'll go remove YuYu Metal from my list, then...
Kidding. XD And for some strange reason I no longer have the option to remove it for some reason, odd.

Yeah, I kinda noticed only after it was fully prepared for upload that I should've done something at 1:40 instead of abruptly switching it to the orchestration I did at the start. A fade out, a guitar that sustained a note or anything would've been fine I guess. But this just shows that I was really eager to upload this song to the Newgrounds Audio Portal and let EliteFerrex have a listen. ^^;

Oh well, what's done is done. Thanks for the vote and short review!

woaah

Another awesome piece.
The Orchestral fits your style absolutly perfect.
There`s only one little thing I can complain about.
Both, this and the original, sound more like Boss-Themes
than Storm-Themes.
On the low score this get`s, thats justbecause of
the anti-metal Zero Bombers.

5/5
10/10
fav`ed and Downloaded, just like always xD

rtnario responds:

Welcome back Syron, although I do see you silently fav-ing from a distance :)

About it sounding like a boss theme, well, I guess in a way the melody can be perceived differently from others. For me, it would be a STORMY boss theme. XD And yeah, for some reason I always wonder why it's kind of difficult for me to create a band-only song or an orchestra-only one, but when I combine the two I have no problems. o_O Sources: Unbroken Dream, Trump Card Alteisen, Last Showdown...XD

Speaking of Last Showdown, I hope this song's score does just what it did. ^^

Thanks yet again for reviews on my works; I think you know that I see you as my biggest and most supporting "fan" in Newgrounds Audio. =)

The Chorus

That chorus sounded so freaking realistic. Was it real? I actually can't tell :P
Was it sample based? :o Maybe synthesized, but I doubt it.
At any rate, the ending was perfect for this kind of song. Nice and powerful.
The opening was nice and quiet but then when the drums kicked in, it sounded quite obviously ready to explode >:3
The whole rest of the song was obviously filled with tons of stuff I could individually go over reviewing, but, as I have said before, you totally know what you're doing, man.

rtnario responds:

The opening just had to be made that way; I couldn't think of any other way to start my symphonic metal remix of the original track. And...well...same with the ending XD

Would you believe me if I said everything I've ever made here on NG was sample-based AND synthesized yet it sounds like this? :)

Thanks for another review and the fav! Hope my next songs won't let you (and 66 others) down!

AMAZING

What are you using for those mad symphonic sounds?

So much atmosphere!

Great work bro!

rtnario responds:

Edirol Orchestral :o Thanks!
