[Piano Fanfare]

Victory!

Nice one! As a huge pianofan I really enjoyed this.
You made it float in really nice with the other instruments.

I think that it should have been a better pianosound, instead of the electric "lp" sound that you use now

NikolaosTheDark responds:

Thanks! Sorry that I couldn't get to the review until the end of May, but I haven't been here in a while.

You're right about the piano sound. I'm getting sick of a lot of orchestral sounds in general. I'm keeping my ears open for more realistic synths, though, and I hope to get some more refined sounds in the coming months.

Thanks again for the review.

[Lullaby De Amor]

Sweet!

Checked the title and it said 'Lullaby'...this was not what I expected, but I wasn't disappointed =D
Really nice song and it deserves to be on the frontpage!
It could still be fixed up a little more with some better instruments though

5/5 9/10

larrylarrybb responds:

Haha nope it's not supposed to put you to sleep.

[Shiny Things]

Epic

Out of all short loops I've heard this is the best!
First a sweet technosounds and then some amazing piano!

Or4nges responds:

Thanks man! Good to hear from you again lol.

All the compliments went straight to heart, thanks :D!

[DJ Kr15py-Arkanoid Th3m3]

*downloading*

Really sweet song! I really liked the good melody you had there. The song gave me an old-school-computer-games-feeling and I really like that feeling ;)
Reminded me of Jazz Jackrabbit which had some awesome music too

djkr15py responds:

I didn't write the music all i did was added an extra techno bass and re-mastered and EQ'd it, i'd love to know who did write it though

[-ganon95- Super mario world]

Could use some improvements

The instruments is good, but I think that this song needs 2 things!
1. It's a somewhat repetitive (it's a longer song original)
2. You should have added all the chords in the song and it would be a really good remix! This song change chords all the time and right now it's not so good when it miss them.

ganon95 responds:

this was an old song of mine so yea its a bit repetitive

[{Yin} FFVII Prelude Remix]

Sweet remix!

Made me happy =) Really liked the quality in this song and you made a great job making a modern version on it.
The only thing I didn't like is that the looping wasn't good.

yinzo responds:

Thanks for the review! I'll keep your comment in mind when I go for another one, and make that loop transition smoother

[Dream Of The Shore]

Not as good as the original

Exactly as the title says. If I hadn't heard the original I would have really enjoyed this remix, but since I have it's not close yet. The strings couldn't keep up with the epic sounds of the original.

galabadass responds:

I must agree that the violin does sound rather bad when mixed with the rest of the sounds, I wish I had a better synth at the time. The keyboard I used had some good sounds, but the strings seemed a little fake (at least the violin). However, this was all rendered in one pass with a performance patch. Given the quality of the keyboard and the fact it was my first real recording, I think it came out rather well.

[Time's Scar [ShikiGami Mix]]

Nice!

What VST did you use for the piano? Really would want that sound in my remix's!
The remix wasn't really like the original, but I like it anyhow! Good job =)

ShikiGamiLD responds:

It's the Reason Pianos refill for Reason.

[Scars Of Time]

Good if taken by ear

The instrument choices disappointed me a little. It sounds more like a midi version now. Needs some improvement to be really good, now it's just ok

oOkorobugOo responds:

I wouldn't go as far as midi, but now that I listen back on it you're right, it could be very much improved.

Thanks for commenting!

[Spyro the dragon theme]

Nice

The bass sound (you can hear it clearly at 0:36) didn't sound so good, but overall a nice remix. I just wonder one thing, when I played the originals I really didn't hear a main theme in the series =) I was so fast in the menu so I never got to hear this song often.

spyroiscool responds:

I'm glad you like it..
