I don't think it's necessarily a boss theme, but it definitely has that evil/dark theme. It's sounds like it would be the theme that would be playing right before you get to the boss. If if was a boss theme, it would be more intense feeling when listening to it. It's not bad, and I'm not saying that you couldn't use it as a boss theme. I just felt that the song never really burst out with excitement or with a faster paced theme that would be the chorus of the song. Since this is your first audio that you made, you did an awesome job. I would suggest changing the title, but that's just my opinion (my first songs sucked btw).

GeoskiBeatz responds:

Now that I think about it, it does seem a bit more fitting to a theme right before the boss you are right.

I'm glad that you like it, as your review is extremely motivational!

As far as the title change, I may change it later... That is, once I figure out how xD

I seen your post on the WIP advice thread. At the very end of what you have so far, you should repeat the first melody that you had (the first 15 seconds), except add more drums, cymbols, and other percussion instruments. Then after that, come up with another melody and maybe add a little bit of harmony with it as well. That will make it last about a minute long.

Overall, it's pretty decent! It just needs to be longer. There might be a few high notes between 15-30 seconds that seem to clash with the lower notes on the piano.

Yoshiii343 responds:

Well...I could try to add more percussion (no cowbell sorry :C) to the first 15 seconds. Coming up with another melody with a bit of harmony is a bit hard (since I have limited knowledge about music in general lol), but I'll do my best.

Working on it right now, and I've removed the high notes during the last 15 seconds. Thanks for the feedback!

It definitely sounds like the last battle from Cave Story. Also I believe that scubasteve92 thought that this was an original song rather than your version of the song. However, he does have a point about making it more dramatic. Overall, this was pretty good!

Whitesonic responds:

Yeah, this was more of a rearrangement than a remix. I think i could've made it more dramatic with a more realistic selection of instruments. Not being able to play with a real distortion guitar really hurt the chance of that happening. I could've brought it out a bit too, but that would've only played to the song's advantage had i actually been able to give the guitar some howl like i would've wanted to. Once i get more of a feel for this new software i'll pump out something prettier.

very repetitive

It's only repetitive because you only have one melody that lasts about 6-7 sec before it repeats itself. Try changing the melody of the song after it repeats for a while, or possibly adding another melody right before you slowly start muting your "instruments". Because your song is such a low bass song you could possibly add another higher pitched "instrument" to your song with its own melody.

SuperBastard responds:

Yeah, I planned on extending this a bit so it would be less repetitive, but I haven't gotten around to working on it yet. Thanks for the review!

average

I don't know about it having too many effects. the only thing i noticed was how the song was very repetitive at the beginning and then it changes into a new repetitive song. Its repetitive in a way that nothing new happens, its just a simple beat with a simple tune to it. There's nothing that makes it unique or special. it needs more fine tuning and experimenting with different melodies to make the song more interesting to listen to, even if it is a preview of the full song.

Ir0nwoods responds:

Thank you for your suggestions. As I have mentioned earlier, I will most likely add something more unique to it. I'll spend some time fine tuning and experimenting. Hopefully it will benefit the song as a whole. Thanks again for your input, I appreciate it!

It's more of an introduction

It feels like an intro to an uber epic battle. It definitely needs more melodies to make it a battle song. What you have right now is good, its just needs a lot more melodies added after it to make it that much more epic!

TheAeon responds:

i made it longer and i added some additional sound.. not much but its longer :P

Odd...

but I DO like it. Very interesting sounds that you used too!

Thanks man ^^
I'm glad you liked it

I agree with Philzart

Even if it is ambient, it should still have a little more bass and a lot more dynamics. Dynamics help give it the creepy/evil feeling to it. Right now it kinda seems a little too distorted to the point were it doesn't even sound like notes are being played, but the dynamics might help that a little.
Overall, the song seems very monotone, but if you can fix that, this song could be awesome!
Hopefully i didn't sound like a jerk.... I do like your other ambient songs!

KKSlider60 responds:

You just stated your opinion and that's perfectly fine with that. :)
Still, I think this track it's good the way it is.
Feel free to check the rest of my works,

Nice!

Song was overall awesome. The only thing I didn't like (you might disagree with me, I'm just being nit-picky) was the choir being used through almost the entire song. In some parts, the choir had too much echo and was harder to hear since the notes that they are singing are going too fast. For example at 0:35, you should almost drop the choir and have the instruments take over instead and then have the choir back in at 0:45. This happens a few times throughout the song. Otherwise the choir parts are perfect!

You might disagree with me and I understand that (it's just my opinion).

Otherwise this song rocks!!! 5/5 and 9/10 isn't too bad is it? : )

MeanGreenLuigi responds:

I totally I agree with you on that one the I shouldn't have let the choir play throughout the holy song the rest of the instruments don't get have a hard time overpowering the choir. Thanks for your input Winterchaos this helped out immensely. ;)

Sweet!

I normally don't listen to trance, but I thought this song was AWESOME!!! It definitely has a lot of variety in it! Well done!!!

Box-Killa responds:

Well I neither make it or listen to it that often, but i decided to take a crack at it just for the lolz. Thanks for the Review :P

Hello everyone! I'm basically someone that loves free stuff, hacking into things (like my Wii), and occasionally will make a song or two and post it on Newgrounds.
