[Carol of the Bells X-mas]

You win the internets

A grand mix of rock and symphonic holiday cheer. You've outdone yourself this time, metinks.

It almost sounded like you were going for the medley that had been done from the Carol of the Bells: Carols For Orchestra collection version of Carol of the Bells (by Leontovich/Wilhousky, performed by the Rochester Philharmonic), which features not only What Child is This, but We Three Kings, Greensleeves, Silent Night, and Joy to the World, as well, all to the tune and style of Carol of the Bells!

Again, excellent work, and Happy Holidays!

Gravey responds:

[team-color of you]

This sounds so pro.

Impressively assembled, I really like this.

Not so good spelling aside, it really sounds like a lot of time and effort was put into this song from start to finish, it really sounds like a mainstream media rip! That's how good it sounds!

teamisvaffel responds:

[Murdered to Life]

Puts a smile on my face :-D

You promised an "exciting experience" and you delivered!

thebigtarget1 responds:

Thank you for the review I am glad that you enjoyed it :)

[Final Fantasy XIII Opening]

Nicely done

Considering the harp is a close cousin of the piano, this sounded wonderful! I think some of the voicing sounded a bit off @ (0:49). Other than that, this is beautiful. :D

Morien18 responds:

In all honesty, my favorite part was the finale. I get chills every time I listen to it. :3

[F-Zero: Big Blue - Redux WIP]

Roflsniper & wow!

I was actually thinking to myself "what are the odds this remix would be in the key of 'C'", before clicking the link, and lo' and behold it IS! (originals used 'Bb' and 'B'; I've actually heard 'C' used in a vgmusic [MIDI] contribution)

Nice job, m8. The melody slightly deviates from the original, but I guess that's okay, since the majority of it is still really nice.

Nice use of synths as well. This tune has a very original feel about it.

Reaper93 responds:

Hm, seems I missed a review quite some time ago. Thanks for the helpful comments and encouragement. Given how long ago I made this I wouldn't be surprised if it was originally inspired by a MIDI to grab the melody (give or take) and work from there. At this point I've frankly forgotten, but again, thank you so much for the useful review. Audio artists kill for this kind of thing.

[Soundtrack title 01 "Village"]

Great use of General MIDI

I was real curious to see if there were actual uploads of [originally] General MIDI tunes. This is a real treat. Nowadays, I tend to associate General MIDI tunes if they are geared toward game music use, as RuneScape (or more recently RPG Maker) music, not to mean that in a negative way, however; General MIDI just seems to be a rare gem in today's gaming life.

I this is incredible sound quality for a MIDI, and I think JaGEx would be happy to hire someone like yourself into their audio team, if they are indeed looking for new musicians. Loops never really seemed to catch on in their tunes, but this one does a fine job of demonstrating one darn near seamlessly!

Reeez responds:

Well! I thank you for your nice contribution! I had no other choice at this time. My computer was a 366 mhz scrap heap and midi a funny last resort.
Right now I'm trying Soundfonts, which sound exactly like GM but they are editable(but only with Soundblaster sound cards).
