Otarine - Loyalty [HORSE FRIENDS]

[Satsuki Kiryuin 1,155]

Hey guys, in support of TheLostNarrator, I've contributed a previously unreleased song, "Loyalty", to help cover her medical expenses!!! If you didn't know, Lost had recently had to undergo surgery due to an ovarian cyst. After funding finishes for Lost, proceeds will then go towards the Jed foundation!!! Hope you enjoy, and help out if you can!

Very nice chord development here! I love those 9ths running on that sawtooth wave you had going there. Those upper beep/plucked leads sounded a little too solo. Perhaps a small reversed solo sawtooth running an arppegiated triad would fill in some of that empty space. 

 

That square lead you had running on the melody was really nice. Though one thing, maybe increase the attack time ever so slightly so you could get a flute-like attack, because that's what that square lead sounds like. In fact, most synthesized flutes and recorders are based off of either the square wave or triangle wave!

 

I like that bell sound you had running there, but I think it needed something behind it...like a small and soft warm pad running on 7ths, specifically major and dominant 7ths and maybe some 9ths. 

 

Very intricate percussion beat you got there! It has quite a bit of high-end though, and could use a little bit of depth. The same applies when it moves to that dubstep beat.

 

All in all, a very well composed piece!

Woah, you've actually come up with a lot of stuff I wish I tried out now. ;w; I'm glad you liked it. Also yeah, high end is something I really struggle with XDDD. I can never tell if there's too much bass or not enough, and the same goes for the treble frequencies. I'd also agree that sometimes the piece needs a bit more life, so hopefully I can figure it out better on the next one. X3 I'm glad you enjoyed the percussion!!! I was really really interested with how people would receive it. .3. I don't really have many songs with an interesting percussive element, being 4-on-the-floor and all, but I'm really happy I was able to experiment a little this time around.

@,

 

Yeah, that percussion was crazy. Sounds like you had 64th notes or even 128th notes running on some of those...
