Thank you so much for helping me!!! This is really exciting!
I thought you were already whitelisted my bad broski. I'll speak to the mods to help you out. Also very good music by the way! Keep up the good work!
Yeah no worries man. Thank you so much for helping out!! :D
Found my new favorite edm song and I've only been listening for a few seconds lol. Infowler strikes again!!!
tysmm!!!
If the word magnificent was a song, this is what it would sound like.
Thank you so much for the kind words, I appreciate it! :)
This is dope asf!!!
thanks!!! :)
Firstly, the chords you picked are beautiful. Sounds like a progression built off the VI - V7 - vi - I which is quite nice! I must say though, I wish your piano at the start wasn't so dry and perhaps had some sort of reverb. I think a convolution reverb would work nicely (can simulate more realistic reverb than an algorithmic reverb). Another thing is that the velocity on your piano doesn't sound like it was altered so the piano comes in kind of rough, especially when paired with the dry signals. It also sounds like you have a bell synth playing in the background which I wish the listener could hear a bit more of. The mix overall sounds quite unbalanced because you don't have many high end elements in the song and there also isn't much movement in the climax so it doesn't really feel like a climax in my opinion. I basically think this could've been expanded upon more, but what you have now isn't bad. I still think you did a good job so keep up the good work!
Really appreciate the feedback! It helps me catch mistakes and get better as a composer ^_^
I was like "man this score is so damn good! Let's see who made this so I can follow him!" And of course it was you. Man you are truly one of my inspirations for making classical music. Please never stop because I love your songs so much man. It's everything I look for when searching for classical music. Also very good use of phrase breaks at on the violin at 1:34.
Aw! That means so much- thank you, that was really motivating to read. It's hard sometimes, but I don't think I could ever stop. Thank you :)
This is super dope! 0:35 is kinda sketchy because there's a lot of excessive high end blasting in that area that sounds like it's around 6k - 8k. The song also sounds like it was over compressed and it really takes away from the song a lot unfortunately. This becomes apparent at 0:50 because the volume drop is very jarring. What I would recommend is have your saw in that area that plays placed on a filter. Then attached the LFO to your cutoff. After that, automate the LFO so that it slows down the automation of the cutoff as you get to the next part. I would also utilize detune on your synth more if you have more than one voice on your saw. That's all and keep up the good work!
Edit: The stereo space sounds pretty nice so I don't really have any concerns there.
Is the mix better like that ?
The first thing I notice is the lack of low end in your music and it makes the piano in the beginning really really jarring. A double bass or a low cello would do nicely. It sounds like the high end of your instruments have been spiked up or they might just come like that. I would probably take around 1000 - 3000 hz down a bit for the beginning piano. As for the composition, the ending could've been a lot more fletched out. The rhythm the piano is playing is kind of nice! Your melody of the oboe could use some work to match the chords better. Other than that, keep up the good work!
Yeah, I feel like adding a bass instrument would've taken away from the kinda lonely vibe from the game. Plus, it's a video game, so giving it an ending would be weird cause it's supposed to be a loop. I do agree with the high-end bit, my mastering software just blew up the treble and I just thought it sounded nice at the time. Thanks for the kind words!
This feels like something I would hear in Kingdoms Hearts! First thing I would like to say is that your composition sounds kind of "thin" at the moment. What I mean by that is that I feel like it could be expanded upon because at the moment it feels kind of lack luster. It sounds like this is due to a lack of layering your instruments and also a lack of counterpoint. I would definitely try to establish more melodic voices for a song like this as it can really bring the essence of it out! I also feel like it just might be due to the samples you have. I don't know what daw you're working with but keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for the feedback :)
