"Very nicely done"

submission: Sunset July

date: September 14, 2009

This is the first time I've come across your music on here, and I'm already quite impressed. You know how to create an ambience without compromising by layering things out of place.

The mixing is very good as well.

Very well executed.

Score: 10

"Impressive"

submission: Epic Logic

date: September 14, 2009

I really love the feel that this piece conveyed. It was certainly something different within a conventional genre.

The mixing of the piece was damn near flawless. Well compressed and EQ'd, while still slightly heavy on the bass which is what the dance music genre calls for.

Awesome job with this piece.

Score: 10

"Superb!"

submission: Sun Still Shine

date: May 15, 2009

Sunshine was a very well-crafted film, and your theme here captures its epic mood perfectly. Everything is flawlessly composed (using Edirol Orchestral, methinks) and instrument ensembles are utilized to give the fullest expression that carries this piece.

Very cinematic quality, and that is indeed something to be very proud of. Great work!

Score: 9

"In need of dynamics"

submission: Aerith's Theme [FFVII]

date: March 21, 2009

As a fellow Edirol user, I can tell you that if you can get the piano patch note-velocity to be -20, you get a much softer sound out of the piano and not that hard, tinny sound.

The piece you have here is well done and well put together. It's just that the note velocity needs to come down to give it a softer sound that this piece needs.

Score: 10

"Very good"

submission: To The Unhallowed Ground

date: March 21, 2009

I use Edirol Orchestral as my main VSTi as well, but I could never get the damn thing to work in FL Studio, which is fine. I use Nuendo 4 instead.

This piece is very well layered and composed. The only thing I would say is that it could use some dynamics variation, but I'm not one to talk. That's one of my pitfalls in composing as well, for the most part, and I know that FL Studio makes note velocities a bit more difficult to work with.

Great job on the piece.

Score: 10

"Interesting piece"

submission: {Vic} Son of Sun (rmstrd)

date: January 3, 2009

I really like how you've used synths to musically paint the picture that the title of the piece implies. It shows quite a bit of creative talent in you.

The piece is elaborate and well mixed/compressed.

Great job!

Score: 10

"Nice composition"

submission: -Something New- [MAC8]

date: December 13, 2008

Very nice and well-orchestrated composition. You should, however, look into some VSTi plugins with more realistic orchestral samples (like Edirol Orchestral or EastWest Symphonic Orchestra), because while your composing talent is phenominal, the instruments sound very "tinny" and synthed, which is okay, but could sound more real and genuine.

Keep up the good work.

Score: 10

"As a fellow composer..."

submission: Icarus - Dream of Flight

date: November 1, 2008

...I can say I greatly appreciate the work you've done here.

Your piece is full, not leaving anything to be desired in its composition. Although if I had to guess, I speculate you're natively a guitar player or have at least given some effort into playing guitar, only because I haven't known many piano players who were concerned much with modal scales.

I can hear the John Williams influence in here as much of the thematic layer of this piece sounds as though it was inspired by Williams' "Hook" score which would only be appropriate for a piece dealing with the atmosphere of flying. When you mix the jazz elements in, the piece takes more of a Noriyuki Iwadare sound (the composer to the "Grandia" games).

The mix of the piece is flawless. While I place most of my focus on the composition of my pieces, I still have much to learn in the realm of mixing to perfect my mixes. But hey, music composition/mixing in general is an ever-growing and ever-learning process.

Congratulations for creating a wonderful work of art.

Score: 9

"Very creatively done"

submission: Dr. Mario Jazz Remix (SSBM)

date: August 15, 2008

The only reason I hold back a 10 is because the mixing was not 100% flawless in that at parts the piano (or celesta, possibly?) got distorted as well as a few other hits.

But this piece altogether was very creatively executed and the instrumentation is completely flawless.

Great job!

Score: 10

"Now this is great!"

submission: [solitude] (flcorecomp)

date: June 17, 2008

You don't know how many electronic songs I've heard, and I would have to say, in my honest opinion as a fellow composer, that this piece is worthy to be called Trance.

The piece is cleverly composed with no clashing synths and all layes of the musical spectrum filled, and the mixing is professionally flawless. The piece itself has a feeling to it that makes one want to dance, which makes it perfect for its genre.

Keep up the awesome work.
