[MH16: Time Flies -NGAD-]

Nostalgic

Maybe you should rush more songs.. I think it sounds great. Especialy the strings starting 0:55 are great in my opinion. Nice fast paced rhythm. Remembers me of the old days with Super Nintendo.

This song is really great. 9/10 5/5

FairSquare responds:

Haha, i'm glad it sounds great to you, but i could do better :p
Thanks for the review! :-)

[Marble Zone - Orchestrated]

VST Plugins killed the maestro...

First, I love japanese music, especialy classical arrangements. I don't know if you played the song on your own, but it sounds for me like you used a midi file and simply added plugins to the tracks.

And I have to say, the quality of the instruments isn't very good. I like the piano, but the clarinet and the strings are sounding very similar to the original sound of a midi file, means - not very realistic.

But since it's composed by a japanese musician and I like the melody, I give you 5 stars.

DigitalDuck responds:

That's fair enough. I started with a MIDI, but changed instruments, velocities, arranged everything in different parts, and did quite a few things in Mixcraft. I do have more realistic sounding strings, but after trying various arrangements, I couldn't get them to sound good. Still, thanks for the review!

[-Race around the moon-]

Great

Sounds great. Maybe you should ask the developers of sims if they want to add this song to a new addon - I think it sounds really similar to this typical "sims sound".

Waterflame responds:
