I am excited about this one, about 2 days in the making and I have to say it turned out quite nice :)

Opinions/comments are always welcome!

Excellent, this sounds like a game, sounds like medival, calm , not itterupting yet colors the experience.
+1

Btw maybe you could clean the mid frequencies, they kinda clutter.
Im also missing some brillance but that might be my speakers.

Thanks! This song made me part of of the audio development team for this game. I am pretty thrilled. Maybe I can make some damn monehs xD

I love this. I mean, really love this. It fits so perfectly with the theme of the game, I can easily tell why they picked this song in particular. I like the melody to, not quite sure how to describe it, but if the music is like this for the game, I will be playing it without an external media player. Kudos, awesome job :)

Thanks bro, in the process of making more music for the game. I hope that we will make an amazing soundtrack as it is only me and one other guy.

Great job! Though it's not quite an epic. He is right about the mid ranges, it does seem a bit cluttered, and maybe you could add a bassline to it to using a bassoon or string bass. Up the high range volume a tad to get that brilliance proxx mentioned. The main thing that's getting me though, can you record it at any higher of a quality? It just doesn't sound clear to me..I'm really picky about that lol. But you really did do a good job with this one.

One other little tip for when you're making this games music: don't forget about medieval percussion...timpani can have a huge impact. Later tonight (maybe tomorrow) I'll post a couple of example pieces for you for some ideas/inspiration.

Managed to find a good one you can get ideas from while I was typing this, its not amazing but I see plenty of possibilities with the instruments he uses and what you're trying to go for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3teFVGCPA_E

Also, this is what an epic really is: http://www.ign.com/articles/2007/04/19/top-10-epic-songs
Don't hate me for linking you to IGN, but they actually got it pretty accurate with great examples. Just imagine those songs in a medieval format, changing drastically throughout the song.

Anyways, there's my constructive criticism for the day.

I will play with the mastering and see what I can do, as for everything else I don't see myself adding anymore to the song as the other guy was happy with it.

Also as for the epic thing I didn't intend for it to sound like I was making an "epic" it was just the first thing that came to mind.

Thanks for your criticism all has been noted and I will keep it in mind for future songs.

I honestly wouldn't expect you to add more to this one unless you were to play with a bass line, if it were for a game I was making I'd be satisfied as well. What kind of game is it?

I may add a bass line just for fun but not right now, I have about 3 or 4 other projects in the making.

Haha bass line isn't even important in games like this, I just like it when I plug it some nice headphones and a random bass appears xD like the old gameboy games with 8-bit tracks, some of those had some craaazy bass to them.

Also, as promised, inspiration and ideas:

crappy sound quality and they did a terrible job, but you get the jist of it:

Ah yes, I get what you are saying. I guess I am just so used to making dance and dubstep I forgot. Sometimes it's hard to switch genres so fast like I do.

: silenthunder March 26, 2013, 03:25:17 AM
I don't have a problem switching genres, I'll often shuffle random electronic genres with random metal/rock genres, but because of that, I don't forget what I like about each one.
