Hmm..I really liked this tune but unlike most I wish you would re do the track minus bells and add something a little darker sounding because to me the guitar is begging for that. A side note my audio was crackling like crazy until I physically uninstalled and re installed my wireless card and updated the bios on my computer and if you are using Vista (I am) PCI cards seem to be the culprit-If that helps.

the cello's attack felt a little distant, especially when it first started, when you threw the quick fill in around 35 seconds or so. i feel the cello should be multi-layered, have one fairly bassy with mild overdrive. reducing the attack on the cello will do wonders for the tonality and intended melodic nature.

i'll skip the guitar as it has received enough praise, i don't feel there's much more i can add to that can of worms.

i'm not feeling much of the bass at the end when it's consistent. i feel that it's the culprit of the "crackle" and believe that the mastering for this part could be a bit softer and bouncy. it's got mild upright feel to it, i believe that you should stick with that essence of the sound as it adds to the persona of the orchestral scheme.

regarding the final product, it's generally a solid tune.
some of the mastering could be reworked...

then again, all songs could be remastered.

thanks a lot man, you definatly offer some good advice! the crackling was indeed caused by the low bass, and i should of turned it down a little. I originally had the attack of the cello a lot lower, but i thought i gave it a nice kind of mystical feel with it being higher but i dunno. And the layering is a good idea, ill play around with that.
Thanks for giving a really good review with useful additions in it!

Perfect name for this track. Your profile says you've been playing guitar for 2 years so you must practice a lot or just be a natural talent. This is just really good.

thanks a lot! well, not to put myself down or anything, but it sounds good mainly beacuse of the sound i managed to get from the guitar, not really the skill of playing, it wasnt that hard really :D

man this is great! that guitar sounds just perfect!
the easy, mellow, soothing git riff really does it for me!

all the other sounds went quite well together! a good blend of instruments! just a lil tip i'll throw in, if you want to get that authentic instrument sound, id strongly suggest using some good quality soundfonts! because these good soundfonts are just recorded real instruments! i use them a lot!

i think the instruments in there were very nice though! beautiful bells also. top tune. i really enjoyed this one :)

PEACE!

Thanks bro, I'll look up those soundfonts, where do you get them or whatever? Everything on this track was just my playins a once-over recording onguitar but I could really do with samples, especially for more electro tracks.

There's this crackling sound I'm getting as this plays. Dunno if it's the player, the tracks bitrate, or if it was some effect to make it sound older (like on vinyl). Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Anyways, the strings are kinda taking me back to old RPG games (like Zelda or Dragon Warrior). The basses sound fine on my system (shrugs). Lovin the bells and would love to hear more of the Guitar. Besides the crackle I enjoyed this. Later on!

Thanks for the review! When i first uploaded the song it was fine but now for some reason there is that crackling noise which is pretty annoying! And yeah i loved zelda and dragon warrior on gameboy they were probably my favourite games!! but i wasnt really thinking of that when i made this one but i guess i see it now u say it! *** UPDATE- Changed bitrate to reccomended and now its fine :D :D thanks for pointing it out!**

Yeah, the low end is way up for some reason. which is ok if you have an average sound system. if you have subs then it will be probably too high!! anyways thanks for the review!
