<Original><Pony> RPG Castle Theme! Youtube link in 1st post!

[Senjan]

Hey there! Thanks for checking in!

So I'm composing music for a pony Fangame called Scattered Chaos, and this is going to be the theme of Canterlot.
I'd love as much feedback as possible, because I just can't manage to make any more edits to the song without my brain and ears going all numb. Been working on this song for too many hours now, lol.

I am aiming for something quite majestic and...well, celestial, perhaps?
What do you think? Do you have any view points? Please share them with me!
I want to polish this song as much as I can before I show it to the game guy.

Thanks a lot.

Oh, i really enjoy this one. Sounds very video gamey. I love the part that begins at 0:42 with the harpsichord.

I really don't ahve too much to complain about. Personally, i would add a bit more brass. I think it would sound more royal and more awesome with a brass ensemble or something similiar in the background.
Atleast, something you could try out.

Awesome work.

[CommandSpry]

It's very good, you used a lot of familiar patterns and segments in general

[Makkon]

Man, you set out to get that RPG feel, and that majestic, and you got it. Very nostalgic! It's like I've been sucked back into the golden days of gaming. I love the part with the harpsichords, and the little details like the strumming harps are great.

I haven't any critique to offer as far as the composition goes. It's excellent. Maybe, though, it's time to move up to some higher quality sample libraries.

[Senjan]

Wow, thank you guys so much! I dunno why but I was feeling that this song was just a big disaster overall.
Thanks so much for the feedback, means a lot! I'll try to break my habit and use some new samples in the future.

Also, I'll try and add some brass too. Cheers! =)

It's great! Brings me back to the old days! The Middle part from 0.42 is great, perhaps you could tone it down even more to really emphasize big majestic sections, just a thought. Keep it up!

[Facade]

this is good definitely has the video game feel i think you are looking for keep up the good work!

[SeventhElement]

Sounds like it will fit the bill perfectly

Again, zero complaints.

[Solarsail]

I like it, but there's not a lot of variation in melody. You should add a second one at least.

[Dr_Dissonance]

I agree with everyone here, this is very well done!
If you were to improve it (which it doesn't really need it, I'm just nitpicking), maybe make the accompaniment more interesting rhythmically. So at the beginning it's just long held notes, when you could make some interesting effects actually giving it a rhythm of some kind!
But either way, good job!

[Senjan]

Thank you everyone for your feedback. It means a lot!

I went on and fixed some instruments and balanced their volume towards each other. I also added a bit more background brass and some english horns to go with the lead melody to enhance it.

As for Solarsail and Dr_Dissonance, thanks a lot for your feedback aswell, however I already finished and rendered the song before I got the chance to read your comments. I will take it into consideration for future songs, though!

I'ts uploaded on my page if you want to check out the final version!
