[-Orr- Prelude]

Brilliant as ever, though I've noticed something. It may just be me, my headphones, but I'm finding the reverb on the piano in the beginning a little to jarring. I (personally) feel that a little fade, or dimness on it would fit the piece better, like the piano near the end. Again this is probably just opinion, or just a circumstance of what I'm listening with, but I just thought i should mention it.

Looking forwards to the entire piece. Wish you the best of luck.

DavidOrr responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I think you're right -- there area few issues with reverb and EQ I'm going to address before I upload the next movement!

Sometimes it's best to walk away from a piece for a few days and come back to it with a fresh listen to make fine adjustments :)

[Epic Choir Chorale]

Well done.

It will sound better in a bigger piece, but you need to kick a few kinks in the ass before that will happen. The volume is a little unbalanced, and the synth'ed voices sound too.. well, synthesized. They lack the depth to lead a piece. The mid-level rythmic ahh's that start around 0:30 need more strength, more punch. The Bass is to soft, and to high. It overall sounds mor like a soprano, an alto and a tenor. Lastly, this choir sounds to much like just 3 people. You need to add a chorus and reverb effect to bring everything out better.

One way you could fix the synthed voice problem is make each level have a different sound to them.

WingoWinston responds:

Thanks for the tip.
Yes the voices are extremely "synthy". I think if I add more reverb and more substance to the voices; such as it is you said, I can get more depth and a more human-like feel to the sound. Essentially the only difference between the voices is that they are set at different keys (or clef) but use the exact same sampling. I'll see what I can do to fix that. Thanks again for the tips!

['10 Reprise of The Brave]

OMG. I jus had a genius moment.

You and David Orr have to do a colab. I can imagine it now. A perfect blend of game and film scores. This feel is just a film score stylizationof a game score style. I can just see the possibilities.

Anyway, you have all kudos from me, as you have just put A ell of alot of action into one of my favourite pieces.

EvilRaccoon responds:

That would be awesome. However I think David is always quite a bit busy with work, which is always understandable. :)

Thanks for the comments!

[(CHS) Zelda: Saria's Wish]

Wow. just Wow.

I'mjust thinking, what a great piece, the cello stands out, but doesn't "BAM" in your face, and the rest is quite speedy paced. But the "BAM" that the rest of the insruments signal for never comes. I personaly feel it could be beter, but i still think that all loz fans need to listen to this.

ChaosDragon004 responds:

Thanks, I'll be sure to keep that in mind when making another one. I've learnd some new stuff so hopefully next time it will be perfect!

Reminscent

wyldfyre1 responds:

Sure. Go for it!. :)

[TiGeR - Failed Dreams]

Beitting title.

This song does seem to fit in with star oean quite well, as KainLazbard pointed out. Reminds me of when edge "destroyed earth" (in another dimension). It fits in perfectly with his depressed mood.

TiGeR responds:

Haha, might be true. Can't agree or disagree xD

Thanks for the nice review mate!

[(CHS) Choose Your Path]

Another well done song

As I listen to more of your work, I get driven further to listen to more.
I have a story that I thnk you would be able to make a piece to quite nicely. PM me wen you have time and I'll send it to you. 2 problems I need to point out. First isthe lack of a background. All awe inspiring music pieces have some kin of background. 2nd is that a low baratone voice would help tie up the song quite nicely. 8/10 and 5/5

ChaosDragon004 responds:

Hmm, never thought of that and I see what you saying with the whole voice thing. It would have been epic. Oh, I'll definitely get in contact with you on that story of yours. Thanks for the help and the review.

[EX - Boss Battle]

awsomwe

the added w is there because the word awsome is degrading. mind if i use this for my game maker game ?

Hormigas responds:

I would love you to use it, thanks

[Forgotten Woods]

yo!

you do some great RPG work. mind if i use your stuff for a game i'm making on Gamemaker? OH, and if you could, can you try to do a dispair theme, you know, the tipical "big last boss decided to play with you early on, Pwn you, and your about to die" type of theme. that would be greatly appreciated. and love your great pofile pic. go eternal.

KooriGraywolf responds:

you can go ahead and use any of my music, as long as you don't steal the credit for the music :D

Sure, I'll definitely consider your request, although I don't promise you to have it ready soon... I'll contact you later for more details on your request!
