Marche au Château full version

"Jeepers..."

date: August 5, 2007

By God, Winterwind, are you somehow related to Mozart? Because in every piece you submit, there is only genius and virtuosity to be displayed. The only shortfall is your reliance on sampled instruments, for which you can hardly be blamed. I swear one day, Winterwind, your works will be heard in the hallowed halls in the reverence and awe afforded the composing greats. Which, dare I say it, you probably are one of.
Yet another brilliant submission, Winterwind. Brilliantly done.

Doctor Who?

"I like very much."

submission: Doctor Who?
date: June 30, 2007

This is the best TV series ever. This really captures the spirit of the old 80s series. This inspired me to do my own rehash of the orchestral one from the new series.

Brilliant work, Bezo.

Dark Classical Film score

"Not bad."

date: June 28, 2007

It seemed a little cluttered at times, but you made excellent use of the choir and orchestra. A tad repetitive, but that's not neccecarily bad. All in all, a fine effort, Arh.

Zelda NES Title Theme

"Not bad."

date: June 23, 2007

This was very good. Your transcription wasn't entirely true to the 8-bit games, but it is your own. Which 8-bit plugin was this, out of interest?

Temple of Time

"I liked this."

submission: Temple of Time
date: June 23, 2007

As again, the choirs were rather bland, and at times unclear, but that is something easily remedied. I liked it where that pad came in over the top. Out of interest, what software do you use?

Twilight Princess Title Screen

"It was alright."

date: June 23, 2007

Not a bad try. The choirs sound very bland and artificial, and the theme is longer and more complicated than that. Even so, writing out any piece of music by ear is a difficult, time-consuming process and for that I commend you. A good effort.

Have a talk with people like MaestroRage and Bosa for improving the choirs and such.

"I love this."

This is brilliant. I love the use of the choir over the top. What software do you use?

Author's Response:

I use Sibelius 5 to write the scores. Then, I use 3 VST's to play the music. I use Edirol HQ Orchestral, Garritan Personal Orchestra, and Halion Symphonic Orchestra. I also use various soundfonts for choirs and such.

Thanks for the review,
Bosa

"Damn it..."

date: June 3, 2007

I swear you're on par with even Winterwind-NS here. If only I could do choirs like you...

Author's Response:

I appreciate the compliment Beacon, to compare me and WinterWind is however somewhat difficult. Winter is a very romantic era advocate, whilst I just love teh epic beats :D!

He makes some very excellent music, so just the comparison brings a smile to my face.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it ^^.

...crap.

This...is...so...gottverdamned...good.

You just got yourself a fan.

Long live MaestroRage!

Author's Response:

Thank you, thank you :). This piece in particular could use some equalizing, but I don't have the ability to open old projects. Something just snaps and breaks when I do.

I'm glad you liked the piece, thank you for the review ^^.
