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.

snayk responds:

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.

[Mid Evil March]

Classical eh?

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.

Father-of-Death responds:

yay! I've done very few classical songs in the past but i'm in band so i based this sorta off alot of songs we've played!

thank you alot for your review!!! :)

Funny

That is a sick beat there. It is a pretty cool song and it is pretty hard to take someone elses song nad not change anything from the melody and bass. Im probally going to try this, especially after hearing this. It has very nice potential, but thens its over. Good song though.

-MenialConstruct

hit me back plz

attemptedperfection responds:

haha, yeah, I definitely could've developed this more, but... I mean, it's not really my melody/bassline, so I didn't want to put all that effort into something I can't even call my own original song, you know?
but I'm glad it entertained/inspired you.
thanks for the review!

[_-={The Spread of Chaos}=]

Very Epic

Wow, very deep and epic track. It is very cool sounding. I loved this alot. I have t osay it is a really well composed piece, with great samples to match. Everything about the song is great, and I lvoed every aspect, from the percussion to the violins. Well, keep doing what your doing becuase im loving it. =)

MaestroRage responds:

Glad you liked it Menial! I think I may have floundered the volume levels in this piece, it jumps from those violins to these really loud choirs and second segment... I may have to submit a redone version sometime, but the overall story is still the same yes?

Thank you for the review ^^. I'll keep doing what I think I know I'm doing.

[wave to...]

peaceful

Im impressed with this piece. When it first started up, I was wondering what an odd beat for a lullaby. Then when the vocals came in, my whole thought proccess changed. They were very beautiful vocals with a nice guitar sound accompaning it. It had nice but odd bass, with off tune notes which gave a bit of character. Then again with the strange drumbeat for this type of song, but seemed perfect at the same time.

Well... I have no advice to give to you, so good job.

A review back would be appreciated^_^

nice 1 dudeski

[{Rose}]

Awesome

Ha, cool track man. That beat really got me going. The nice melow pads were a nice touch, to such a harsh trane song. By the time the fast synth solo came in, I was amazed. This is a really cool track. I like the mix orchestral-trance, it has a really nice sound.

5/5
10/10

a review bak would be appreciated ^_^

cornandbeans responds:

:D jajajaja

Of course you get a cookie in return. :) thanks for the review.

[~Angels Glory~ (Stealth Remix)]

Beautiful and Peaceful

Very beautiful piece. I have to say the vocals were great in the song. The beat was pretty good, and very diverse, same with the instrument works. Very nice melodies and harmonies. Besides from a few mastering problems, with the beat and bass parts, it was a great track.

-MenialConstruct

A review back would be appreciated^_^

Stealth-Emergence responds:

Yeah just a minor tweak needs doing on the resonance pads, they become just a tad overwhelming, not too serious, but someone else pointed this out to me, or at least I think this it what you're referring to

No probs man, a review will be on it's way to you

Peace Out!

[Next Attempt]

Pretty good

I wouldn't listen to that other guy, it wasn't that bad. Im sure your pretty new to this, but you seem pretty decent.

I really liked that main melody, but it was a bit distorted. The beat was fine. But the bass wasn't very powerful, and kind of annoying.

Overall it was decent song. Keep working at it and you'll be a great artist one day.

-MenialConstruct

A review back would be appreciated^_^

Tamas123 responds:

Sorry about the distortion. I tried to fix it. I am really good at coming up with melodies. I hope I do become great. This review made my day. The melody took me 2 to 3 minutes to come up with.

[Falling Angel]

Kind of Cool

Very interesting. Very cool, but seemily odd piece. Very simple yet not simple, soft, yet hard. Very nice lute/guitar whatever instrument that was. The backround pad complimented the main instrument. My only advice, is make am ore complex and a bit longer, and you may have something good.

-MenialConstruct

A review back would be aprreciated^_^

XXPX1 responds:

I wasnt going to post it orginally because of how short it was. Although I decided to let others decide... and it turned out much better that I imagined. Thanks for the review
