Reviews for "_-={Gazing at the Sunset}"

Sweet

This was quite a nice soothing piece, very cheerful. It was kinda repatitious though. Also, if this was supposed to be a loop, it was a very good one.

Though you are a great artist, I felt slightly dissapointed by this. Whenever I see a song by you, I expect to be fantastic, so this was kinda a let down, seeing as it was only great. There are other works of yours that are much better than this.

It was an interesting piece, and would seem to fit the game quite well, so a 4/5 from me.

I am glad you enjoyed it, I can understand why you may feel this song is not to par with my other pieces. The truth is, the game requires semi ambiant overworld themes, and I think I was pushing the limits with this piece by itself.

Well i'm glad you enjoyed it ^^. Thank you for the review.

nice guitar work!!

well first just to let you know the person who reviewed your song "ambitious spirit" was someone completely different. we share the same account, and for some reason he spoke for me!

but, this song...! its great. i liked wow your patterns smoothed over together so well. the guitar work in this is phenominal...i assume that was the pluggin. the oboe really added the feeling to it. the only problem i had with this was the bass near the end. it was a wee bit fuzzy i thought. it would have been better to have a sharp bass that mellows out. but it's your song and i dont know if you were going for that sound.

over all great song!

ps: im in the process of a new classical song. I'll take your advice into mind.

MaestroRage responds:

Thank you ChiRoN. The reason the bass probably sounds the way it is, is because it's the same guitar from the beginning brought down 3 octaves XD. Yes go synths! I've recently gotten a whole guitar VST so for future uses for guitar/bass, it will definately sound better. Thank you for review, i'm glad you liked the piece!

Great stuff!

This song's amazing. I love how you made a nearly seamless loop out of it too! (I must admit that the first bass drum hit made me jump, I wasn't expecting it at all :-P)

If I had any problems with it, it would be that the brass chords near the end sounded kinda...I'm not sure...chunky. There was one sustained chord (C over F, I think) there that kinda made me wince on the inside. In my opinion, it would sound a lot nicer with a B over G instead.

But that's the only thing I noticed. Great job! 5/5 for you.

MaestroRage responds:

interesting, I didn't really pay any attention to the brass, but there is a good chance you are correct. I'll go look deeper into the song and see what I can make out of it.

I'm glad you enjoyed the song! Thank you for the review ^^. Sorry at having made you jump :D.

Somewhat unexpected.

When I listened to this song, and I read the tag for the song giving a short synopsis, I had expected a remorseful song. However, upon hearing, I was surprised that this song had a heroic feel to it. Also, I didn't expect the song to pick up as much as it did during the middle of the song. To me, when people are wounded and dying, they wouldn't have that physical energy to fit the song, but they would have the powerful memories. They had stood together, fought together, and will rest together. A band of brothers indeed.

MaestroRage responds:

You're right on the dot with that imagery ArK. The song was instilled more with the memories of the life long friends. To sit there and remember while they still could, all the things they had gone through, to all see it end.

The last line you wrote was perfect in it's description. Well said.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked the piece. Now I feel kinda bad, I had forgotten about these characters, to remember them anew...

:'(

I swear to god...

I've heard this song before. It's in the very depths of my memory. I think that I heard this before in a game called Diver Down. Anyway back to the piece, I'm not really much of an audio making person, I have no idea of what these samples and beat rythms are, but I listen, and I liked this.

MaestroRage responds:

Diver Down eh?! I've never heard of that game, but you are not the first to say they've heard this song before...

I sincerely hope there's no evil afoot! Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it ^^.
