Well I like this one more than I liked Process. This one wasn't as random. But it was damn quiet most of the song. I struggled to hear most of the sounds.

It starts off really quiet. Some background noises. Light percussion was nice. I'm liking that effect too. It basically is the same, for a minute, except a arping synth I was able to pull out.

Finally, I an easier hear the melodies and pads. But about 4 seconds. Then it stops =/ That huge percussion sound isn't doing much for me. Kind of ruined it. Then just ends on a synth melody. Although it sounded pretty good.

I definitely think you could have done so much more with this song. The beginning is good, but goes on too long, and the climax is way too short. Put some more highs on that percussion, it will give it a sharper sound, and Lower the percussion near the end.

Although I could totally see this in like a videogame or movie.

well if it's low you could always like turn up your volume, but if you have it at max, sorry for that :P

Maybe I could do a lot more with the song, but I didn't know about anything more to add, or change. but maybe I should make a new and better version later.

Thanks for the review!

"Great song"

I love this song by nine Inch Nails. It continues to be one of my favorites. You did a good job covering it too. If I didn't know any better and you through vocals in I would have thought it was the original.

Starts off nicely with a pad. Although it didn't have the guitar part like the original. The string stabs were a nice touch, added a bit of originality to it.

The piano I assume made up for the vocals as it followed the same melody as the singing. The next part of it when the drums came in sounded real nice. The drums were much like the original.

Much like your "The Frail" it really didn't hange much from the original, although the original kicked ass anyway. Great job keep up the good work.

Yeah, as I was making them I knew that they were quite close to the originals. I tend to emulate when I remake music :P

I couldn't get a good guitar sample to sound like the one used in the original song (or I didn't try hard enough), so I just made something similar. Although, I realize now that the guitar is too quiet in the earlier part of the song.

I didn't use piano to replace all the vocal melodies - just that one. I left some of them out because I didn't think they'd sound right.

Choosing how to arrange a cover without vocals is a very important thing because you don't want to bore the listeners. For this reason, I made the song slightly shorter.

Thanks a lot for the great review :) I'm glad you listened in and enjoyed it.

"Classical eh?"

submission: Mid Evil March

Well, I'm not sure if this is your first try at classical style piece, but is a pretty damn good one at it. Definitely had a movie score sound to it.

Starts off with a nice string sound. Not very optimistic sound, sort of a sad sound. It soon moves to a deeper string sound and some percussion. Those are some good soundfonts I assume.

It starts to build up nicely. Percussion gets louder and strings brighten. Nice addition of the glockenspiel.

Well it seems to start to build up nicely, but almost like it is missing a level of height. I'm not entirely sure why I feel that way, but thought I might point it out.

Anyways there is some great instrumentation and composition in this piece. You did a really good job compared to your "usual" style. I think you should continue writing orchestral based music.
