That was one of the crappiest loops I've ever heard. It skipped all the time, and the mixing quality was TERRIBLE! Never before have I seen such a poor job done before. N00b...
Lol, jk! This is one the most PERFECT loops for a boss battle I've ever seen. I kinda see a light based machine getting itself pumped for battle. The loop also is seamless, which isn't usually seen here on Newgrounds! Nice : D

Uh, wow, seriously, I don't see why you get more recognization around here. That's some tight talent you've got there! Killer song!
Maybe set this as a verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus/end type thing? I see you eventually get to a break within the song, but maybe a verse type of thing to go in between choruses? You've got a TIGHT ending, that was great!
Otherwise, this is seriously one of the best pieces I've come across on Newgrounds : D

Thanks for the honest review!
Maybe i will build a bridge before the chorus! Good idea for that!
I am very proud of this song, because it is my first guitar recording. (as i said in my comment.)
Check out my other stuff here! I would recommend "Kim - 42 Deep Thoughts".
It didn't get so much feedback here on NG and i think it deserves a bit more!
I will check your stuff and review them.. but later!
So thanks!
Review more please! :D

I like, half expected you to have something techno-ish, but no, I'm mistaken! The vocals at the beginning were tight. I however, felt that some of the instrumentation wasn't pleasing to the ear.
-Your strings, guitar, and piano didn't have a good sustain to them, it seemed choppy when you had long periods of time between notes. It's kinda like being out of shape, and playing a simple little game, as I'll now illustrate.
Each person can pass the ball from one guy to the next in short distances, but as the ball has to be carried a longer distance, it gets harder to carry, and so you drop it.
Add more sustain to the notes, it'll help the flow of the song (or the game) ^-^
-Otherwise, it was very nice, keep it up. By the way, could you review one of my "Dreamerz" songs?

+The melodies and the main synths make this quite the interesting little dreamy track
+Lots of psychedelic feeling, like...drugs? I dunno, never tryed drugs, that's the impression I get
+Vocals? Weird...
-Your bass drum just killed this song! It's so whimpy! For rave, I expected "BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!" and at least a 4.5 earthquake to erupt within my room, but I heard this "boom boom, hehehehe, boom...erm...boom...is that good enough?"
...
NO IT ISN'T
-Alright, so maybe I when too far being stupid with that, but you get the idea. Kick up the bass drum : )
-Nice job, just work on that one aspect!

hey thanks man.
I tried to make the kick more "BOOM", except, sadly, it distorted the other synths etc. Thanks for review man!

+Great beginning, I love your drum mixes : )
-The actual sound of the drum samples are "preset-ish", Fruity Loops, I think?
+ & - I was wondering when you'd bring that freakin' melody, I love that one out of most of the songs in LoZ!
+Nice percussion break in the middle of the song.
-Some of the syncopated drum beats aren't good in the chorus, maybe slightly syncopated, but otherwise at least a kick drum on the downbeats.
+Good composition.
Nice dude! Keep at it!

Ah-HA! You're the really good sprite artist posting your VG-mixes around, okay : )
+Peaceful, and serene
-Your main instrument is WAY too loud man, turn it down!
-There isn't much going on. You use midi files to make this, or your own self-ideas?
You'll get better by learning more about the program you're using, keep striving to learn : )

+Dynamics are very nicely used throughout the song.
-I don't like how much of the song is strings, maybe add a fuller ensemble?
+Composed very nicely my friend : )
+The feeling is very well attained.
+ & - The tempo changes are slightly weird at first, but they kinda grew on me throughout the song, very nice.
+ & - Using the GPO recording, it seems as though some elements are lost in the mixing compared to your first recording.
Wow dude, very nice!

I did work some with those dynamics. Took some time lol, thanks. This song is supposed to be just string orchestra with bells and solo flute. I found that brass, other winds, or even percussion ruined the feel I was going for. Yeah, I thought the tempo changes were slightly odd, but I just wanted certain parts faster and certain parts shorter lol. It turned out not too bad in that aspect. What type of elements seem to be lost in this recording? (Do you mean this is a bad thing?)
Thanks for the review man. I'll check out your audio sometime.

+Some good percussion grooves!
-The snare build wasn't needed for EVERY fill, come on now : |
+You've seemed to finally build the song up to something worthy with the synth instruments.
-Why do the synth instruments cut out on the snare build? Work that out, the flow of the song is ruined when you do that, keep the synths going.
-Same basic beat used every time, but...
+Yes, it's catchy : )
-Look, you've got lots of potential, develop it! Someone could fall asleep halfway through the song since you take so long to build it up. Keep trying, you'll get it!

+Nice mysterious beginning.
-Don't like that bubbly/gooey/swamp-like synth you've got going, it doesn't fit the better feeling that could be present. Maybe a long, heavy bass sound. The composition for that part wasn't bad though, keep that the same.
+ & - The vocal thing you've got going is nice and percussive, but it's too short, and it sounds terrible with that dreamy/airy break beat thing you've got going on. Extend it, or make it long and authoritative.
+The rest of the mixing of instruments is very nicely done.
-Could have been more dynamic contrast later in the song, but not bad overall.
You've been developing very nicely man, keep it up!

+Nice use of dynamics right at the beginning and setting that good tone to give the listener interest.
-Some of your lead synths may work better with more staccato, less sustain to each note. The bass instrument is okay with that slight sustain, and the sustain on the notes is good in some place, but in the main choruses, it really isn't as necessary since you want to keep the song jumpy. This could be your style though, in which case, I apologize if that is so, then this would be a fault in my part.
+Nice vocals!
-Why does the song just stop? Make an ending to it! It sound incomplete, your story isn't done yet! The hero desperately tries to slay the dragon, and just as that's about to happen, the screen on the T.V goes black, show over. That isn't really the best ending for this kind of song. Maybe fade it out with the chorus repeating?
Overall: A solid piece that's got some good potential. Keep it up!
