[Viking March]

Great! This is good, hopefully you're able to finish it one day. Only thing i would say regarding the mix is the low background strings sound kind of buried and squished at around the 20sec mark until the 40sec when they build fully. I would suggest turning them up a bit more for prominence or leave em out entirely until the full crescendo at 40sec. Though please don't think I'm trying to speak from a place of authority because i honestly have no idea what i'm talking about. This is a good song! Really epic

AceMantra responds:

Hey, thanks for the review! I hope I can finish it soon too.
I'll definitely take your suggestions into consideration. I thought the strings were a little on the quiet side too. :)

[Feeling You]

Awesome work! Sounds great

Beautiful, this is such a different style of music then i normally listen to but its a refreshing sound that i do enjoy. It draws upon my imagination, where i can picture myself swimming underneath the waves of the ocean or being lifted by angels to the great divine. Especially at 1:40 onward, the vocal harmony works really well as the whole song burst into life.

I can't really piece any real criticism as far as the ears I'm working with are concerned, other than it sounds like it gets kind of loud at the end of the song near 1:40. Also, i agree with the other the reviewers who mentioned the small amount of shakiness in the vocals in the beginning. It's not really even a strong criticism because i don't think it deteriorates from the rest of the song at all. Overall this is really a lovely hymn, i like it a lot

[Chill]

I liked it, good style. Reminds me of a toy box in a way, just the different amount of synths and sounds that pop up.

[The Scent of Dew]

Powerful, this is great! Good work

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thank you, glad ya like it :D!

[Stickerbrush Symphony (DKC2) - Shadowscape Remaster]

To my ears i feel the lead flute could be lowered a bit in the mix, it stands a bit too much above the rest of the mix in my mind. Could just be me though. Other than than this is a real nice remix, although i'm not familiar with the original song.

[The Next Day]

Suspenseful! I like the plucked strings that drive the piece as everything else builds and falls around it. Good work man, sounds great

[Boots' Theme (2017)]

Wow, this is great. I like how it comes together around the 1:00 mark. It sounds like a dream tango, that probably dosen't make sense lol but that's what i think of

Bertn1991 responds:

Thank you so much :D I love hearing people's abstract thoughts about my music (Dream Tango would be a good title for something!) I appreciate the kind words ^^

See you around <3
