[The Cliffhanger]

You need better samples

First of all: great track! I loved the structure how the instruments were going with each other. The track had its dinamic parts, slower parts so the structure is ok!
But the one thing that was annoying me: the qualitiy of your samples (if you was working with samples). If you have had better samples It would be now a superb track. (Now it's only a good track ;))
So try to find better samples and than there won't be any compliments by me.
Great job. Keep doin'it!

DrZonka responds:

ummm....don't know what samples are but this is all music made by me using audacity, and electric keyboard and an audio input proxy cable. If samples mean pre-made, then there's no way in hell I would put music on here if it weren't my own, let alone send it to a college...DrZ

[_-/| The War Helmet]

Good job!

Hi there! This is a great track you have here. I loved the constant guitarre melody that was going with the whole track. And the part with the female choir was also awsome! I could imagine this thing in the Gladiator score.
I liked the brass hits as well - gave some aggressivity and energy to the track.
So impressive and nice work. - 5/5!

And if you have some time pls check out my tracks as well. I could use some comments and creative criticism.

[A somber Etude]

Good, but need some improvement

Nice melody yes, but the piano melody was a bit too loud for me. I think the sombre-feeling can be achieved with smoother pianos as well - or with a rising volum level. But still it was nice and you've achived your aim to create a sombre feeling. Keep pushin' it - you're on the right way!

[_-={Cloak of Wonderment}=]

Wonderfull!

Well, well - the Maistro is back!:)
Good to see you around again. I checked the two tracks you uploaded yet and I must say: you've developed quite a lot - compering to the older tracks.
The quality the melody and the strucure of the songs are far-far better than before.
Personally I think this song is better than "The Tanks Thunder" - much smoother melody and more harmoicall but of course the other one has it's moments as well.
So great job, keep pushin'it!
And if you got time, pls check my songs as well. I have some new things and I could use some constructive criticism.

MaestroRage responds:

Yes indeedly madboss, I wanted to share more stories, and more images with everybody here. I wanted to once again grace these walls, hopefully for longer this time.

Everybody has their preferences, my goal this time is to produce at least one track that everybody will like and enjoy. Any piece I submit that didn't invoke any story or image, a complete failure on my behalf.

Thanks for your support and review madboss, for sure I will check out your tunes immediately.

[I Died in my Dream]

Nice try!

I loved the beginning. It sounded like a real horror music from a film - metal clashes and fx's all around with some scary ambient is flowing in the background. Really nice!

Don't take this opinion series cause its my personal preference, but i didn't liked the 4/4 beat at the middle. It didn't harmonise with the other parts.

But the D'n'B part after it was realy good. An Action-horror movie could use it. Maybe you could have started the beat a bit softer, but still it is good.

So overall said: nice try, keep goin'. You're heading to the right way!
