[The Return]

Ooh, nice one! :) I feel like most of what i want to say is already said in the past comments... Drums and guitar awesomeness and all that... But seriously, good, job... The drums were pretty epic... I can never keep my attention on making my drums really unique... But i'm glad you were able to. :D
Nice one... Keep improving!

stunkel responds:

Thanks! I really appreciate the comments! They always make my day just a little bit better :D

[Pkmn Orchestral Gym Theme]

Hey good job! I'm a huge fan of Pokemon... :) And man, i miss playing that game...
The song was good, but I felt like maybe a bit of the epic-ness was lost in the song...
It sounded a lot more happy than i always imagined my gym battles... But hey, it's your interpretation. :)
But I think that this piece could definately use some more dynamics. :P Hmmm... :) Not quite sure what else though... Maybe more intense drums?

Lol, i might just be projecting my expectations of that song on this one. :)
Nevertheless I enjoyed it... Good job!

stunkel responds:

Haha, yeah I pretty much just made my own interpretation of the song. I wasn't trying to make it as if this could be in the game. Don't worry, i can't see this version being in the game either, and nothing can really compare to the original 8-bit awesomeness that is the pokemon gym theme. And possibly a more intense drumline could help. But thanks for the review! They always help a ton!

[Stranded]

I like the bells. :) Good job with the song, but maybe change that chord progression a little bit? It gets a bit repetitive... just my opinion :P Besides that, The drums are wonderful, and the flute at the end was a nice touch. Good job! Hey, could you give my newest song a listen? I'm trying to get more opinions on my songs... :) Thanks! :D

stunkel responds:

will do!

[Smile (Sarah's Theme)]

I think its incredible. :O Lol, the voice samples almost sound like they were from a video game. :)
My only complaint is that it gets pretty quiet at around 1:13... Like... not more quiet, i guess i was just expecting something to start building up for a louder and faster paced song that starts at around 2:08? Hmmm... I guess maybe it still works cuz its a theme, but yeah... good job anyways! Would you mind checking out my newest song? Trying to get some opinions on it... :) Thanks, and keep it up!

Dylnmatrix responds:

I thought I already responded to this..oh well. Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you like it! :)
As for the build up issue you pointed out, it is intentional to fit with the character. The subtle haunting is where it gets "quieter" and the swells around 1:24 are her knocking on the bullies door and it builds from there to where it intensifies at 2:08, and she starts stealing the happiness/killing the bullies.

[JAKEX - Faraway Senses]

Really good. :) Keep it up! Faved. I'm looking forward to more music like this... :D Good job with it, but maybe change up the melody? It's fairly repetitive... :P Was it just me or did i hear some sounds from VEC vol2? :)

jakex09 responds:

Lol yea, i dont know why i chose out of an old pack. But I make my own vocal samples now, such as the beginning.

[Tigers & Dragons]

Woah! Dude! This is pretty awesome... I havent heard the original, but wow... yeah, this is really good... Hey, when you get some time give my newest song a listen too! :)

RaceTTar responds:

Thanks man. I listened to your track - Chaotic Dreams -. It's excellent. I like the theme, alot. The lead melody is very catchy, the short arpeggios add the spice, I like the way you incorporated sections without the drums. They create breathing room and connect different themes and instruments together. The track is solid, it flows nicely. For someone who says he's still learning. sht. I think you can teach! :D

[Crystal Rain]

Awesome! Really liking your music. Keep it up! :D I agree with ClearlyConfused... Longer songs would be incredible, but I guess just wait till you have more time. Glad there are musicians like you on Newgrounds

z-raven responds:

thanks man...

[Faith Demo Version]

It's good! Good vocals... try to tone down the music so you can hear it better... sometimes its a bit hard to hear the words, but i'm sure you'll do that in the full actual version. :) Well done with the shifting melody...

L3ak responds:

Thank you! Yea issue with the vox was 1. I was using a very iffy condensor mic and 2 I was recording with cool edit not really knowing what I was doing, lol. But thanks. :)

[Strength and Honor]

Brothers, what we do in life... echoes in eternity!
Okay, i dont know if you were referencing Gladiator, but i was. ;)
It's a good song... I like it, it sounds good!
Maybe try to add something more interesting... I guess it's solemn and epic, but maybe if there was something to catch the listener's attention... Maybe add a fighting part? Something with more speed and excitement? :P
I dunno... I'm not a pro, so I cant judge like one. ;)
Great song. :)

popraz responds:

Thank you ! I agree the song lacks excitement, but I wanted to put together some ideas, then each of these ideas would evolve on their own in later songs. And yeah, I was thinking of Gladiator when I chose the title.
