I definately like this piece. All you need is to fix some volume levels on the gated synth, maybe a tad quieter. I also liked the bass line, how it's not the old kick-bass-kick-bass kind of thing. That isn't really great for a dance club or something, but it's definately original.
I like the lead you filter it at 3:00. Once you bring the piece to the climax, I just start feeling energetic & somewhat happy. Really nice job at that.
I don't like how you used FL Keys at 4:19. You need to find a good soundfont somewhere on Google for that. That's what I did, & my pieces sound better than if they had the damn Keys in there.
I also like how this piece loops. Great work!

You are right about the Volume, It doesn't fit in with the rest of the song. Thx for the liking of the bassline! I was thinking that it would be boring with k-b-k-b-k-b-k-b so i made k-b-k-b-k-b-k-b-k-b-k-b-k-b-b XD. It was definently meant to be made like that, with the climax. I should go find a SF2 like you said. I'll go check out ur peice right now!

Dude, DON'T UPT THAT DAMN INTRO IN YOUR MUSIC EVER AGAIN! That's like... Worse than me when I was starting out. o_O
After that, it gets really good. You better not've used someone elses song there, or I'll hunt you down & rip your eyes out. XD
Sorry this review couldn't've been better, I'm pretty busy ATM.

This is an amazing piece. Great work, I especially like the transition at 3:10, as you said, it just gives me a good feeling of accomplishment.

I have the exact MIDIs you used for the melody. Nice use of it. I just don't like how it kept filtering out & back in. I don't hear any bass in this song. This is also pretty repetitive, you need more diversity in this piece.
Thanks for reading

I don't like how there's no percussion, there could atleast be some small hihat bits in there, or a calming drum line in there. I also don't like how you used presets of VSTs in there. Some things are too loud, also. The sound starts distorting around 1:40. You need to tone down the piano at certain parts.
I did however like that it was a remix of Canon, possibly my favourite piano solo piece ever made. I liked the arpegiations in there too. Very nice.
Keep trying, you'll soon be a great musician.

heres my thought on the drums.. I actually had a hi-hat and cymbal and soft kick line built for this but it didnt seem right to put it in the song.. Because it felt like it needed more drums if I were to use just a hat and kick so i decided not to do drums with it.. thanks for the review though and actual critisicm.. not just saying hey its good or hey its bad.. i appreciate that

This piece is amazing.
I don't know what bad to say with this except I didn't really liked the modulated synth at 2:45. To me, it took away some of the epic feel to this song.
Thanks for letting me know this was up. :D

Nice drums & bass! They suit the mood of the song pretty well. :)
The only thing I would suggest would be to stop using FL Studio or Vanguard presets. Everyone uses them. Try making your own. It's more fun than going through a damn list to find a sound.

Dude, you need to get some sample packs & stuff for a better sound. Try VIP Zone for some soundfonts & samples.
Other than that, I absolutely loved what you did with this. It just needs a little bit of mastering, and I would also add in a breakdown after all of that & then in there add a new melody or something. Y'know, just to diversify everything.
Just thought I could give you some tips.

Just so you know, I actually only used one preset, and that was the pad that can be heard after the intro. Everything else I made myself, and the drums were from a sample pack I downloaded.

This is me themesong! Lol!
I liked what you did with this, mixing anthem trance with chiptunes. You did a very nice job with it too. I just didn't like the end, with the Super Mario theme. I know you were trying to add something from a video gam,e in there, but I think the "Niiiiiintendo .... wohoooo!" at the beginning was enough. Other than that, this is possibly my favourite song ever made.
Very nice job!

Dude! You need to stop using those vocals in there! They don't fit. The song besides that was really great though. Make more, just get better vocals.
Hardstyle should be left hardstyle. It shouldn't be put into this genre of trance.
Just criticism, don't yell at me. Lol.
~Zariah X-POSED~
Author's Response:
Ha, it's perfectly alright. And, I completely agree. I'll use different vocals from now on.
Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked the song!
