Good job! I love the leads in this. Can’t wait to hear more from you! :)

NeXsard responds:

i'll be uploading very frequently now. and thank you very much

[A Quest]

This is awesome!!

[AIM - A Dreadful Space Journey]

I enjoyed this. I think it fits the artwork really well. Good job and good luck to you in the AIM contest! 🙂

[First Step : Adventure of the Seas - Jessie Yun]

This is really great! You’re gonna beat me again in this Chips Compo again, I can feel it lol. This reminds me a lot of Hans Zimmer’s music in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie soundtracks. Hans Zimmer is probably my favorite film scorer. Great job!! :-)

JessieYun responds:

Hey FateModified,
Thank you very much for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it haha. Nah, you never know! I'm also planning to replace with an extended version on Chips very soon, which could give more of that PotC feeling. I hope it works better than this one, though!

Oh, and me too! Hans Zimmer is also my favorite composer, I really admire his works a lot. (Although this wasn't straightly inspired by his works...)

[Hell Frozen Rain [Silent Hill]]

Your girlfriend sings beautifully. You’re lucky to have her lol. Very nice! :)

endKmusic responds:

Thanks for the compliment FM, I know I am. :)

[Shattered World]

Nice!!

TSRBand responds:

Thanks for listening! Happy you liked it \m/

[The First Rains]

I seriously love this! 5/5 stars. I’m curious, what do you personally consider to be your best piece of work? I would love to hear it! :D

[NGRMC 2018: Jazz Reharm]

Very nice. I love the drums. The only issue I have with this is how you panned certain things in an unusual way that makes the song sound unbalanced between my left and right head phone. Usually I expect the kick drum and bass to be pretty much in the center. Here you have them both panned pretty far left. And the cymbals seem to be panned too far right. So the left channel to me seems way too bass heavy in comparison to the right. It makes me feel almost like one of my ears is stopped up somehow. Other than that, this sounds very professional and is a very good remix of the melody and chord progression in my opinion. Good job! :)

[somber tune]

So simple, and yet filled with so much potential. This is a really good tune. Newgrounds' Remix Competition is going on right now here in 2018 (NGRMC) https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1434657/1, and here I am wishing that this was the tune that we are supposed to remix, because it's really good with sooooo much potential.

Good job way back in 2010, lol. :)

[You're the Same]

Your sense (or knowledge or whatever you want to call it) of melody and harmony is just amazing to me. This song is a great example of how you are able to portray emotion so extremely well with your music, which to me is the main goal and purpose of music. Your music is a big source of inspiration to me to learn as much as I can about music harmony and composition so that I can produce music as equally emotional and amazing.

And I seriously wish I had your piano-playing skills. I'm terrible at forcing myself to practice regularly, lol. This song is simply amazing. 'Great job' doesn't begin to do it justice. 5/5 stars! Keep up the awesome work, LSD!

Oh, and I'm curious, what VST/plugin/sampler are you using for the violin?

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

I've always felt that my three main strenghts when it comes to composing, are my melodies, chords and the emotions I try to portray. You pretty much caught on to all of them, so thank you for that!
The arranging, playing and mixing are all things I've learned more slowly (and am still trying to improve beyond where I am now).

It means a lot if my music can inspire someone like you, as you already make great music yourself!

As for the piano playing skills, trained classical musicians are still faaar beyond my level. But to get where I got, I don't practice as much as I simply do my best to play the compositions that I love (from movies, games and whatnot). Naturally, I improvise and make my own music too. I recommend trying to have as fun as you can with the piano!!!

Thank you for the very encouraging review, as well as for the ever continuing support :3

The violin is the Joshua Bell Violin, by Embertone, and is honestly my best VST instrument.
