awesome... TBH I wasn't going to review, until i hear the "slow down" fill... That part made the song for me. Afterall, I'm not a huge DnB fan. Sorry I cant leave a longer review, just that fill was awesome. Nice work.

I don't find myself listening to classical often... But when I find a piece like this I have to stop and say "wow!" This is simply amazing. The emotions that are given off in a classical piece are unmatched by other forms of music. You've done well... Very well! Keep up the great work, and I believe I'll be checking in on your future works because of this one. Awesome mallets, and such.
I've been thinking about getting into classical, but 1) I don't have the tools necessary for it, and 2) I don't have enough patience to create a piece with enough emotion.
Awesome work, 10/10 5/5
Keep it up. love the melody and the crashes and everything just perfect. Almost sounds live.

Hey, thanks for the review, but just remember - this is not 100% original, it is based off the original piece for NES, which was 8-bit technology. The original song, "Vampire Killer," from the 1987 game Castlevania, had only 3 channels and was fairly straightforward in comparison, so I've taken a lot of creative liberties. Since the original there have been many other remixes too, in lots of styles from jazz to rock. I was yet to hear a full-fledged symphonic version, so I did it myself.

This is going to be a bit more brief because I just wrote out a full review and suddenly everything got highlighted, then it disappeared. SO I don't feel like typing it out again.
I LOVED the first 3 notes of the piano, they fit perfectly.
The pad was perfect for the song, but with the ride that you already have, I feel like a quick 16th note quiet hi-hat with accents on the off-beats would be perfect.
Kind of like a ts-TS-ts-TS. That would be awesome.
Also, at like 1:24 when the rest of the drums come in, some sort of realistic sounding guitar bass playing a soothing bassline would be awesome, but I'm not sure if it would fit with the genre.
Anyways! Nice work man, I love the ending as well, and the flute is perfect. I figure I see a review of yours every once and a while, so i figured I'd drop one for you, good job man!

Aww... hope you tried ctrl-v'ing and ctrl-z'ing, cause it coulda saved your longie review :/
Ah someone got suggestions for drums. Let's see if I can do that thing
No bass this time, sry- it just seems to add too much bottom for an airy, light song like this. A bass just can't take off the ground and fall into the arms of the wind, like the rest of the instruments :P
Thanks for the review!

I still think Mindless is your best but this one is pretty kickass man.
Getting that full sound huh? haha
I'm not totally WITH the long intro, but i absolutely LOVED the break after the intro. It was awesome man, really airy and amazing, gave an awesome ambient feel.
When everything comes in its awesome dude. I love all the airy feelings it gives.
1,2,3,4 hahaha sounds kinda like an infant haha
Nice work man! keep it up!

This is pretty good. I don't generally listen to the DnB genre much, but I thought I'd check this one out.
I liked the bass, but it seemed a little thin if you ask me. It had the right distortion, but was really thin. Try EQing it to give it a little umph, maybe a bass boost.
Yeah, the bass seems a bit off at some points, especially at the beginning, but I think you tried to do that maybe.
Your using FL I'm guessing, but I'm not totally sure.
Try compressing it a little to get rid of some of that clipping at the beginning.
Turn down the quality of the free filter on the drums when you're bringing them in to get rid of some of the clipping there. But other than that nice work man. Needed somewhat of a pad at the beginning to fill that empty space. But other than that, nice work. I enjoyed it.
Author's Response:
Thanks Envy! There was a pad at the end. I guess I should've added one through out the whole song. I didn't really think the bass was thin. I was wearing headphones when I made it, so I guess I wasn't being careful about it. Thanks again for the review!

Pretty cool, everything sounded really cool. The start was awesome with that low pass kick! The only thing that kind of killed it for me was that snare... Not a huge fan of the sound of that snare... has too much cah to it whereas I see drum and bass snares as more of ksh rather than a cah. Still, nice job on the percussion.
And I love that bass (gotta love the triplets)

Pretty good for a second song. You really need to put some more oomph in your drums... or just put drums in, in general? Work more on creating more of a melody than just putting arps in, (It's cool, but all starts sounding the same after a while.) Nice work on this one though, pretty catchy.
Check out my stuff some time, and tell me what you think ^.^

This song is awesome man! You always amaze me with your percussion man! Even though it sounds like all fl defaults, it's still crazy original. This song was just awesome, it was exciting, it changed up a lot, and it was catchy! Awesome work man! You're definately a HUGE underdog here on the AP. If you had some more people noticing your work, you could be huge! Upload more songs, man!

It takes me a while to think of new melodies and stuff, that's where I lack. I can't make enough songs to be recognized

Sounded pretty good except some of the melodies, at the start especially, kind of clashed a little bit.
I have a question, it sounds a lot like you use vanguard... I think I hear the Scream For more synth, and alpha lead and such... Do you? Or are there similar sounds out there (Which I'm sure)
You sound so much like Dimrain it's crazy, except I think you try and keep the basic melody of the song going so it doesn't sound TOO random then simply break off into synth solos here and there... Some of the offbeat stuff was cool, but then again some of it didn't sound too good... But nice work, man.
Author's Response:
Yeah I used vanguard, but it was not scream, it was the beast.
thanks for the review,

Sound's pretty good.
You try to change it up a lot, but starts to sound a little random at some points like you didn't really know where you're going!
There was some clipping when the choir-pad thingy came in but other than that clarity was pretty good.
All I really hear is a kick, no other percussion instruments. Try changing it up with some other instruments.
Other than that it was pretty good
(You may be saying "how can he say it was good after he just said everything bad, but no real good things about it?" The answer to that is, how much do you learn from someone saying "I like that" and how much do you learn from saying "Try putting this there, and putting this type of melody here." You learn a lot more from the second one.)
