Enjoy

Actually, I just whipped this up the other day on a break from filming and writing.

Travel Beneath

While this is a bit darker than I wish to take the film, this could easily be sampled and mixed into other parts of the soundtrack, and, I'd really love to use this over the ending credits.

Personally, I think the bass is a bit too buried (when it first kicks in), however, overall, the rest is mixed rather well in my opinion. It's certainly not as muddy as my earlier attempts at film scores. So, I must be improving something

Tell me what you guys think!

I composed all the music myself for my D&L entry. This is the music that happens during the Neveron Bulb commercial: https://soundcloud.com/tenny1027/epic-trailer-song

And here is the music that is heard during the first part and during the credits: https://soundcloud.com/tenny1027/infomercial-music

I like it Dyland, pretty cool!

Here is something I made yesterday, its just a simple little song.

Nice instrumentation. I love the sound you chose. What kind of instruments were you using?

@Dyland Very funky! It definitely feels very spy like. The lead guitar was solid and rather memorable. Also thought the bass part worked pretty well. Although I'm not exactly what but there was something I didn't quite like about the drum part. BTW I listened to some of your other music and in particular really liked the piece "Adventurers".

@rafael9522 Loving the sound choice especially with the slight reverbiness. I liked how the main melody felt isolating kind of like something out of Spore. I would check the second glock melody that comes in though it feels a touch dissonant/clashy when it starts to sound a bit more majory. Although this may have been your intention of course!

With Adventurers in particular the musical ideas/motifs themselves are quite decent. I would of liked to have been able to hear the string ostinato at the start of the piece more clearly as the main theme came in. Also perhaps the timpani part could do with being slightly less active so that when it does occur it causes more emphasis.

Thanks for the suggestions!

And it is awesome! A little slow for my tastes, but, after listening to my original after yours, I can certainly say that it is too fast - way too fast. I'll be sure to do things a bit slower in the future, since, my music usually doesn't loose quality when making it faster in the mixing. However, slowing it down does. So, I'll keep it as slow as I can when I record, as to allow me more tempo options for the final mix.

I agree.

In the original RAW takes, the trumpet kinda fell into the background too much. It needed to come out, otherwise, it was just buried. However, now that I've been mixing seriously for a bit longer, I can see that the levels aren't quite right. The trumpets are too loud. If I re-record that piece, I will quiet them down a bit, and perhaps "wall of sound" them with some flutes or strings if the main melody needs more oomph.

I currently don't use a music-program other than Audacity to mix. I used to mess around with MAGIX music studio 12 (or something or other like that), but, it was just a bit too limited.

Currently I just record things on my high-end Casio electronic keyboard using my Blue Yeti microphone. I do have a MIDI to USB cable for the keyboard, however, don't have a program with good samples/instruments that I like... Also, the keyboard comes with samples of it's own, and I kind of want a program that'll be able to utilize those as well. Most that I've seen so far don't mention piano-sample compatibility.

I do plan on looking into some music programs this fall/winter. So, any suggestions there would help me as well.

Very, very soothing. The underlying tone behind the piano (perhaps low piano? organ? bass? - it has kind of a wah-wah effect, in my opinion) is a bit loud. It pops out a bit too much in the mix, though, that could just be a matter of taste...

Otherwise, I really like it! Perfect for an incidental "staring at the rain out the window" kind of scene.
