ThePoniMan 164 April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 (edited) Here's a new song I've been working on For anyone wondering, this is the first part of a three-part series of songs about King Sombra. This one is supposed to be about before he became evil. Edited April 16, 2015 by Joseph Stallion "In Poniet Russia, Joseph Stallion is you."

Aurelleah 894 April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 It's certainly interesting and you're off to a good start, I liked where there was some sort of key change thing going on at 1:30 and I liked the stuff that came after that. Super-harsh criticism incoming! ---You've got a neat original idea, and I like the melody quite a bit ---I liked how the horns weren't overwhelming ---Snare was too bright/loud/in the foreground and had no reverb. It would've been okay if there were more flams, rolls, and hits in general on the snare to make a marching sound, but it kinda detracted from the overall feel of the song. ---I'd recommend starting a song with a non-brass instrument. Clarinets are good for intros, with french horns and whatnot great for overlaying harmony afterward ---I think I heard bass kicks in there. Usually if you incorporate bass kicks in a song, you have them on the on-beat with the snare on the offbeat ---I wouldve liked this song a bit more without the snare personally, It's got a background-music-feel to it, like you might expect to play in the background while you play a game etc ---the beginning was a little dry. Not enough going on to capture my interest. More chords with each chord's note played by a different instrument would've been lovely. That's just my own opinion based off experience I've gained from making music in school and producing orchestral stuff. Off to a good start, keep the ideas flowing. That's the most important thing! 1 My Music Thread ~~~ My Youtube ~~~ My Soundcloud ~~~ Commission Something! ~~~ My Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePoniMan 164 April 9, 2015 Author Share April 9, 2015 @@Aurelleah, Thank you so much for your criticism! I'm always open to any type of criticism, especially from someone like you. I have heard some of your work, and it is amazing The snare does get a bit overwhelming, and it does indeed need reverb. I thought something sounded very unnatural about the song. It's still a work in progress, so I'm trying my best to improve! Again, thanks for your criticism. I'm sure that it will help me now and in the future, especially with my current limited musical knowledge. 1 "In Poniet Russia, Joseph Stallion is you."
