"Very very nice"

submission: _-=[Insanity Inside]=-_

date: February 12, 2006

At the beginning I was like "What, how is this platinum?" It did not really appeal to me. But once the drums come in, you had me. It was very passionate. There were some dissonances which you certaintly want to watch out for, because they can get distracting. Also, the chimes part is not possible unless you get some deep hand bells (which would sound completely different). I think if you studied Theory, especially counterpoint and species your music would get exponentially better!

Nonetheless, a nice piece. You could use some better sounds though :)

Score: 6

"I dunno"

submission: Fur Elise Complete Version

date: February 10, 2006

This really sounds like you ripped a midi. It would be one thing if you were actually playing this, but it's clear you are not. Of all pieces to have a computer play straight from a midi file this is probably one of the worst because of its expressive nature. I won't vote you down rate wise, I'll let other people give their opinions becaues I may be the minority.

Next time you upload a piece like this at least play it personally. There are many places where someone can find a midi version of this, so there is no point in putting a computer generated copy of this on newgrounds. (not to metion there were several mistakes in the score).

Sorry if this sounded a bit harsh, but I'm just giving my honest opinion.

Score: 10

"Nice"

submission: Of Knights and Magic

Nice music. Get better samples. Your music would come to life if you had really good sounds to play the music on. I dunno if you realize it or not... but wow, this stuff has some potential. Get Garritan Personal Orchestra for a cheap 200$ and your music will go from good to amazing. Well done nonetheless :)

Score: 9

"Nice piece"

submission: Waltz no. 2 in B minor presto

date: February 6, 2006

Quite an interesting episode in the middle of the piece.

This is definately 10 score quality, but I would like you hear YOU playing it :). You may not have good mics or a good piano... but eventually it would be worth coughing up a few hundred bucks and going to a cheapish recording studio and laying these down. Well done!

Score: 9

"Not bad at all"

submission: I see the Light

date: February 3, 2006

I like it, ambient sounding. Yea, repetitious, but still great background music at any rate. I really liked the bassline and drums. I think it would have been best if the bass was introduced with the drums, giving it much more of a pickup. Nonetheless, nicely done!

5/5

Score: 10

"Haha nice"

submission: <|>: Game Over

date: February 2, 2006

Very well done. It would sound even better if you had better string samples, but great nonetheless. Classical major chord ending, I was waiting to hear it in the penultimate measure, and I was very happy to hear it. Nice work!

5/5

Score: 8

"Experimental"

submission: Warfare

date: February 2, 2006

This is very experimental sounding, pretty interesting. What program are you using? Are those midi sounds? They kindda sound like it, except for a few of the later sounds introduced. Keep at it, you're off to a good start :).

I'll give you a 5/5 for the sake of seeing if you can get a little recognization.

P.S- Check out my stuff if you get a chance :)

"Nice job"

submission: Man of Sorrow (MMD-MS Collab)

date: January 28, 2006

This is pretty nice stuff... too bad you didn't have a better piano sound. It was a bit tinny, maybe you could mellow it down a bit if you make a new version.

This is a great song, and there are many many good things about it which other people have picked out. So, I will be the asshole and critique.

Some of the instruments were not together (mainly when you were "all together now". If this was intended, it was destracting. If it wasn't intended, it should be pretty easy to fix. The notes are right, just a bit off.

Maestro- I loved the entrance of the strings in form of a major chord, it was very beautiful. The drums seemed a bit lacking in punch, maybe have them louder, or have a bit more complicated beat as they progress?

Milkman, the drum beat was nice, I liked it. Simple, yet catchy. You may want to fatten them up a bit too though, the sounded thin (too trebleish).

I think it would be better if you scrapped the voices, but if you each had your own theme that you somehow portrayed in the song. Maybe Milkman's could be more electronic, and Maestro's could be more classical.

Don't get me wrong guys... this is a great piece of music. I think the ideas are all there, they just need to be developed and tweaked a bit more. Keep it up you two!

(for the record, I'm giving you guys 5/5 for this because I really want to see you get some recognization for this piece!)

"Nice"

submission: Eternal Clash

date: January 27, 2006

The beginning reminded me of the pokemon battle song in the original pokemon games. You're music is great, I love listening to it. You're one of the few AP "classical" composers that actually seems to pay attention to musical form :).

I like your stuff. What's your musical experience?

Score: 9

"Neat"

submission: The Chase-

date: January 27, 2006

This song has some potential. You should try to get rid of the crackling and noise you are getting, it can get distracting at times. I think a more driving bassline would give this piece more punch. Keep it up!
