[His World Dance]

Distortion :c

I'm not going to downvote it for the distortion--your bass kicks distort the song, I think your volume output got a bit fucked up somewhere in there. Either way, it's epic.

[!~[Halloween Loop]~!]

It's distorted :U

Turn down the output volume. I'm sure that if you did, it'd be 200% sexier than it already is.
And yes I want a full version :3 But--I don't see how this is Halloween? :o

MmmCake responds:

oh yeah it is i didn't even notice, lol ill upload a new one right away

thanks!! :D

[Sonic Advanced Bonus Orchestra]

I totally remember this theme.

And you did it justice. Only thing I don't like is how MIDI-ish the horns sound, but otherwise, this is one hot song.

[Training/Jogging (Punch-Out)]

You make me want to try Trance :U

As far as trance goes, this is the shit. And remixing Punch Out is just awesome :P

[DJ W!peout - ScaryThings(loop)]

Awesome sub bass

I love this. Thing is, the bass is too clicky. But I guess that's the aim, right? :D

[Rig - 8-bit Village]

Haha

I'm in a bad mood right now but this song cheered me up.
This would be perfect to put "You are a faggot" over some parts, to make a song to send to other people. I'd love to do a cover but I'm afraid I'd screw it up, so I'll just make my own song (don't worry, I won't steal your notes :P) and make a song entitled "You are a Faggot"
And, obviously, I love this little tune. If this was any other genre, it'd still be perfect. It's actually cool and cute and awesome all at the same time.

Rig responds:

Send a link when it's done, lol

[~Screaming_Fire~]

Bass kicks are too loud

It suffers from extreme clipping--it's a chore to listen to with all of the clipping. If you're using some kind of limiter, please turn down the bass levels :S It's really loud.
The melody can get a bit repetitive at times, and the panning is not my favorite choice, but it's reasonable. Good job, though, on what you did accomplish. :D

[Wild Kanto Piano Battle]

Clipping and too high pitched :c

It's kind of obvious that you used a MIDI. But if you didn't then, props. :P
Thing is it seems like you used a MIDI because usually MIDI channels are at full volume--and the piano was too loud and thus got clipped. Again with your other song, it would sound better if it was an octave lower, also a common sign that you're using a MIDI file. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just, you should know to turn the channels down a little bit before exporting them.

NnTelevision responds:

Thanks for the feedback dude. I was just tired of all the pkmn songs people were making with bad notes and bad timing so I did these with what I felt was right.

To answer your question, I might have used a midi but im not sure. I can say that I wasn't on a real piano though. I used Fuity Loops 8 Demo to make this(which means I can't save editable files). I'll just have to remake these songs with a little lower volume and down an octave when i get started on the flash. Thanks again!

[Maelstorm (EliteFerrex Remix)]

The Chorus

That chorus sounded so freaking realistic. Was it real? I actually can't tell :P
Was it sample based? :o Maybe synthesized, but I doubt it.
At any rate, the ending was perfect for this kind of song. Nice and powerful.
The opening was nice and quiet but then when the drums kicked in, it sounded quite obviously ready to explode >:3
The whole rest of the song was obviously filled with tons of stuff I could individually go over reviewing, but, as I have said before, you totally know what you're doing, man.

rtnario responds:

The opening just had to be made that way; I couldn't think of any other way to start my symphonic metal remix of the original track. And...well...same with the ending XD

Would you believe me if I said everything I've ever made here on NG was sample-based AND synthesized yet it sounds like this? :)

Thanks for another review and the fav! Hope my next songs won't let you (and 66 others) down!

[Trump Card Alteisen (Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation Remix)]

Take This One From A Gamer

..Who always studied the songs in the games :P
Okay, before the review I have to thank you for replying to my reviews :D So thanks :D

Okay, so, basically, obviously you know exactly how these kinds of songs are composed. The hits are in perfect place.. And those pauses are great even though this totally sounds like a battle theme. The transition at the end really really makes it end very beautifully, like most battle songs do, but most of all, I love when peopel mix metal/rock with videogame--and if they do it right, like you did, it all ends up making a perfect battle theme. I do have a feeling this is a battle theme.. Possibly a character theme. (I don't know much about the game you're inspired from, but as far as I can tell this is 100% originally composed by you)
Simply put this is an awesome song. And when I say awesome, I literally mean awesome rather than "cool," if you know what I mean. :P

rtnario responds:

Thanks for replying to my reply of your reply for my song. Therefore I shall give you this reply for your reply which I replied to when you replied to my song. :)

Yes I do! These kinds of songs are actually one of the closest to my style of composing, or at least I think so. Probably because I get inspired from them, no duh XD You are 100% correct that it is a battle theme, and 200% for it being a character theme. Unfortunately, I did mention that in the author's comments, which means you're wrong when you say it's 100% originally from me. :(

"...my remix of Kyosuke Nanbu's theme..."

You can try Googling the theme and hearing it for yourself. You'll see that this song is almost completely a copy of the original melody-wise. But no, the original (and by that I mean the one on the GBA) did not have pianos or orchestration, and of course my own variations. :)

I suggest you play the game if you like strategy RPGs. If you like this, there's no doubt that you'll like its soundtrack...and of course the awesome game. Thanks again for the review!
