Reviews for "Rage of the Champions"

well gee..

I am judging for the mac 07 contest, and I have to say, the most difficult part of it to me, is choosing which of your songs not to include. This is only because out of 10 song, i think it would be slightly unfair if 5 of them were yours.

Your songs are all so epic and amazing, this is truely a difficult decision, I would have to say that this is my favourite though.

Also, I am sorry I have never reveiwed your songs, although I have listened to all of them, and voted on most. It is just, I really am not a classical music person, so I have no idea what to say about these, except that they are epic. And the samples are awesome, I wish I had something better than FL basics.

OK. i am actually going to try and reveiw this song.
Amazingly mixed. The drums being based mainly on the sticks was a vert nice concept, I think that is what makes this song my favourite, as well as the snare, with its abnormally flat sound, yet almost sounds as if it were played with a tom as well.
In some parts I can actually just hear the tom, so i beleive that is what you did.

The violins sound awesome, well, it sounds like there is more than one, did you use a sample of like, many violins together?
Also, I like the use of the bell, as well as the brass, as the first hit of each bar, gave it much more of an effect, more oomph to each bar, well played.
The loop is awesome too, sometimes i notice it, but more often I dont, another good job on your behalf.
I wish I had your talent.
And good luck with the competition, even if you don't need it.

Hello MusicIsBliss

I am glad you are taking things seriously for the contest, I agree that having 5 out of 10 songs being mine would be unfair, and truth be told there is a LOT of really great tracks in this contest that deserve a shot! So by all means, do not think I will be irratated by having some of them taken off. I personally feel that this is my favorite of the entries too, it's my most percussive oriented piece.

Don't worry about the reviews, I am glad you listen to them, if they can bring you some entertainment, that is all I wanted from them!

As for FL basics, you can try using soundfonts, that is what I did before I moved up to these VST's I have. www.sf2midi.com was my home for the longest time.

The percussion on this song is actually mad layered. I used pretty much every drum and wooden instrument given to me by the VST I was using.

Bass drum
Timpani
Tom
Taiko
Snares
cymbol

All sticks, I forget their name, but they are there!

As for the violins, yes they are a 18 violin section patch. I was thinking of solo, but I just didn't like it like that. So threw in some 18 violin action in there.

As for my talent, I am fairly confident anybody could do what I could do, I neglected a LOT of school work for this craft, and from time to time, my grades would prove it ;).

Thank you for your review, I am glad you liked this piece alongside the others, and thank you for the luck, I am fairly sure it's going to be a bitter fight >:D!

Outstanding, truly.

Musics like this remind me to check the Audio Portal more often. And makes me want to work with Fruity Loop more. Assuming its what you used.

I will remember this music, and will be looking forward hearing it again in the game.

MaestroRage is a name I wont forget.

MaestroRage responds:

I am glad, another great way to remember the name is MaestroAngerIssues. It serves for a good laugh, and you begin to speculate whether I truly am crazy, or just plain angry.

The answer is a bit of everything.

I am glad you liked the piece QcStorm! Thank you for the review, I apologize for the late response!

freakin good as always

man seriously you are the best =D this song rocks.

PS : about "he's a pirate" dance remix......make more dance remix!!!!!>:3

MaestroRage responds:

I'll try to, but if I make another dance remix, I don't know what to make a dance remix of... hopefully i'll find another song that terrorizes my soul like Pirates did, and remix that!

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it! I apologize sincerely for the late response!

wow

it makes me feel like im in the acient greeks in a war or something lol XD

MaestroRage responds:

The Ancient Greeks DID love their brutal fights :/

Though i'm glad you get the vibe of destruction and anger, as the song is meant to depict! Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

Yeah :D!

I heard this song in darcut 2 and i can only say that is the best song i heared in this week!

MaestroRage responds:

Dark Cut 2 was awesome :)

I'm glad you found it entertaining, thank you for the review!
