[Xyirx - Dragon's Heart]

Epic...

Seriously, the song sent chills down my spine. It was that epic. The story is awesome too. The way you transitioned from one movement of the song to another was simply great. =)

5/5, 10/10

Xyirx responds:

Thank you so much for reading the story. I know it was lengthy. xD Glad you enjoyed the song. :D

[Maelstorm (EliteFerrex Remix)]

Oh no, your work is so suXXorz =(

Kidding aside, I shall make my 1st review of your work. (Is it? XD)

First thing's first. This is one heck of a remix of EliteFerrex's 8-bit Storm. You built upon the original 8-bit loop and turned it into a powerful symphonic metal piece. I really like the way you started with an orchestration of the song and then gradually shifted into RAK. \m/ I noticed the guitar seems to gradually fade at 00:15. Perhaps you should have done a similar effect at 01:40... fade out of course. Like the guitar fades away with a little pitch bend as the orchestration takes over once again. Anyway, I like the way you ended the song. XD

Well, that's about it for my short review. GUD JAB

Oh, my work sucks? So I'll go remove YuYu Metal from my list, then...
Kidding. XD And for some strange reason I no longer have the option to remove it for some reason, odd.

Yeah, I kinda noticed only after it was fully prepared for upload that I should've done something at 1:40 instead of abruptly switching it to the orchestration I did at the start. A fade out, a guitar that sustained a note or anything would've been fine I guess. But this just shows that I was really eager to upload this song to the Newgrounds Audio Portal and let EliteFerrex have a listen. ^^;

Oh well, what's done is done. Thanks for the vote and short review!

[Outbreak [ELITE ReMaster]]

Now where did I hear this song before?

I agree with the user below. You should make a remixed version of this, perhaps in FL Studio. And make it awesome ok? Add squares and then add epic winds, strings, and whatnot. Of course, you should ask permission from the author just in case he doesn't want you to remix this since it's already awesome.

[Cave Story-Geothermal]

CURLY!

This is a Cave Story remix done right. Very simple and still awesome.

Just wondering why the piano note at 1:10 has a staccato.

Keep up the good work!

Destroyer9283 responds:

First off, I dunno why the note did that. I guess my keyboard has a few issues (cause it did the same thing during my practice recordings...)

And I'll be sure to have something soon...

[Melancholy Winter]

Gotta love Winter HM!

Ok, this is my first review, so please forgive me if I mention a musical term that's incorrect. XD

I really like the way you gave the song a mellow feel with the piano and the strings. I just have a complaint regarding putting together the minor (musically) strings of the intro and the major strings in the original Winter HM. It kinda ruins the balance in the song... as if the strings are trying to keep up with being in harmony with the piano melody. That's just my personal opinion.

Nevertheless, I still think a pretty good job! I'd like to hear a tweaked version of this in the future. =)

I gave 4/5 and 7/10 ;)
