"Another great one!"

Hi there Maestro!
I tought I was a long time on your site so I decided to look around - and I've seen this track in front...
And I listened to it:)
Great job! Almost like a battle-music. I loved the dinamic strings and the high violin. And I see you still in love with bells - it's not a problem: they are fitting greatly in the track.
There are two things I've missed: some more aggressive drums or hits. I think it would give a more epic feel for it. (Or maybe I'm to maniac again with drums and hits.)
Second: on the climax of the track I was missing some brass and trombons. Some brass-hits or riseing brass-lines.
But these are only my ideas - the track is still a great piece. I liked the repeating and continously building structure. It had some excited feeling - like you mentioned:
A warlord is in his tower watching his man preparing his stronghold for the upcoming battle...
And the enemy is nearing...
So summing up: great work I enjoyed greatly. Keep them coming!

Score: 8

"You need better samples"

submission: The Cliffhanger

date: September 21, 2006

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!

Score: 10

"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.

"Good, but need some improvement"

submission: A somber Etude

date: September 1, 2006

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!

Score: 10

"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.

Score: 8

"Nice try!"

submission: I Died in my Dream

date: August 9, 2006

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!

Score: 8

"A really nice one"

submission: Oh,My Guide!

date: May 27, 2006

Well it's a real good one there - good melody, clear sounds. I liked it, altough I think there are some parts that you should be more aware of.

First: the drums are too constat (well, for me they are), I would make them more variable. The same goes to the structure of the song. You shoul insert some breaks within the melody. Some upper string or flute crescendos or some solos.

But besides these - not so serious - problems, this is a quite enjoyable song. Good work!
