"truly - it is a fantastic song..."
How can I argue with such sonics...this is phenomenal. Makes sense that this would take about a full month to put together. Mixing like this takes serious work...

It seems you've always got like 5 of the top 20 spots nailed on this site. lol. I don't how you do it. Incredible work here.

"ah... now the usual suspects up here."
Let me know when the movie comes out - sounds beautiful here. I'll buy a copy. I'm always ready to support such incredible amounts of effort that I in a way feel tied to through newgrounds. What it this software per say? Have you made some new purchases? It sounds amazing already.
Really nicely done.

I'll definitely have a huge posting when the movie comes out, that's for sure. I'm impressed to be honest that the rough draft had this effect on the Newgrounds Community to be honest.
VST's are honestly my new "software". I've aquired some really good ones. VST's are actually a new thing to me as I used to use onlu Soundfonts. ANYWAY, thanks for the review as always.

The guitar especially proved nice. Awesome choir bits too. Ambiance here is what sets it apart. Well done.
vampire girls is also a good description...lol 2:26 was my favorite section. Reminds me oddly of an old video game (one of the castlevania's maybe?)

very well done. the mood and emotion is fantastic.
Some slightly better sampled instruments would do this huge justice. The chords used really worked beautifully.

Thanks. I've been trying to get Garritan Personal Orchestra for Reason 3, but it's too expensive right now. I've been working off of the Orkester CD that came with Reason and the strings that come with the Miroslav Choirs. BTW....your song "A Time to Heal" is absolutely FANTASTIC. What samples do you use? If any?

Drums a little low in the mix but still discernible. Liked it more as it went along. Had this really nicely crafted groove to it actually. sweet!
Author's Response:
I don't see (or better said "hear") how the drums can be low. maybe the hats, but with them set higher it wouldn't give the same atmosphere.

"this should have gotten #1 or whatever"
not my song, lol. anyway. that's just how it should be. Seriously though - someone mentioned the elfman, but you're right up there with him with this stuff. astounding what you are doing.
so get it right newgrounds. next time - piece like this = #1, not me. I know when to step aside. i'm downloading this.

"just listening to the intro, I knew it'd be good"
funny how that works. it takes me about 5 seconds to hear a good song.
unique piece. enjoyable. all the ambient touches were excellently placed. every fit so well.

I mean - that's quite a long time to work on a piece...
i don't think I've ever spent more than a week on a piece. And normally that was just because I kept running out of time each day to work on it. But it's a good thing you've got here. I s'pose I can see where all the work went to. It's definitely worthy of the recognition it's getting though. Noticed a really atonal piano note at the little phrase near the end.
one of these days I'll have to spend that long a piece and see if the same thing happens...
