[Arvianth]

It needs to be about 2000% cooler, so i need a WIP thread >_>

Any comments and feedback are welcome :3

Hey Arvianth, I left some feedback in the comments section of your song.

Added a few staccato notes in the "machine gun" beginning, also corrected some chords and finaly seem to tame the brass :3

You're missing woodwinds! They need to be there!
Composition was well done, sounded quite nice...I suggest increasing the dynamic range by making crescendos and decrescendos when needed.
If you know what to do, I suggest adding some counterpoint in there too, at the moment, its structure is typical lead-accompaniment-percussion beat that so many people do...the little brass question/answer thing was nice though! So you have the right idea!

[Arvianth]

Maybe, maybe x) Would you suggest some good woodwind libraries? :3

Playing around with some woodwinds now. This part must be cursed >_<

[Dr_Dissonance]

Maybe, maybe x) Would you suggest some good woodwind libraries? :3

I dunno, I use EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Woodwinds, which you can't get by unconventional means...if you catch my drift...
Maybe try Cinesamples' Hollywoodwinds?


Anyway, new version! Nice use of woodwinds, but I'd probably use a combo of legato and staccato to get a more flowing sound. And possibly trills if you've got them.
Also, use the winds at the end with the strings to add a fuller and richer sound!

Nice job overall!

Last for today, i think. Brass still playing everything except what i want >.< Any tips about Cinebrass to make it sound smooth and not screaming?

[Dr_Dissonance]

I use Hollywood Brass, so I'm not sure, but Brass naturally 'scream' if they're playing anything loud, so whichever command is for the volume of the instruments, turn that down so they play softer!

[Arvianth]

It's a typical russian feature to try everything before reading the manual v_v

Continue messing with brass. Adding legato makes it completely blurred, so i suppose it should be something like this. But it still sounds strange oO

not sure what to do now ._.

[Arvianth]

Started from scratch, it worked with Tale of Luna X)

It seems to need more percussion, or not >_>

Finally it seems ok, but not cool. I need some break of it to maybe get some ideas.

[Arvianth]

Continuing adding minor changes to mixing (6_9). Isn't the beginning too midi? o_O

[Arvianth]

Ok, I think it's done :3
Any chances EqD approves this? ^_^"

[Arvianth]

EqD seems to reject it again. Anyway, thanks, guys :3

[Ed Viper]

Huh. I like it Of course I like just about everything that's posted here, so my opinion probably doesn't mean much :/

Anyway, great work. I subscribed to your soundcloud to hear future songs

[Arvianth]

Thanks :3
