More Works

[DarkestStar 31]

Just some more works I've composed and run through the music programs I have. These are electronic versions of real-life music from either video games or albums, so if you recognize the titles or the similarities in music, that explains it. Downloads are welcome, reviews are also quite welcome and much appreciated.

Embrace the Night,

I'll check these out in a minute, however, I recommend you upload them to either pony.fm (the pony music site made by the people behind these forums), or SoundCloud.

City Trial

 

It's a fair listen, but sorry to be to stern but, it just didn't sound right.

 

Your strings are too loud in the first part, the guitar-like synth isn't so clear. 

 

The percussion could use some work as well

 

All in all it seems like you rushed this one

 

6/10

 

Ocean

 

Strings were good up until the percussion came in. The percussion is perhaps the biggest gripe for me in this one, as it's monotonus and hardly has any varience. Plus it sounds to electronic. What were you aiming in this piece? An ambient sound, 'cause that's what an ocean is like. I suggest that you go back and change the percussion in this piece, because it threw off the feel of what an ocean sounds like. 

 

6.5/10

 

BEST ACID EVER

 

Ok...I really don't know what to say about this one, except that the percussion needs a TON of work. Sorry, but this is what I think of your pieces. Your transitions could be a bit smoother. It was a...good listen.

 

6/10

 

Orcarina of Time Medley

 

This one is perhaps your best track. But yet again, VARIANCE! How can I stress this even more? That's the one barrier in electronic originals/remixes. You had the same percussion line going on for almost the whole piece. Also, your strings need a bit of EQ work.

 

7.5/10

 

All in all you put effort into making these tracks, but you need to practice quite a bit. Making electronic music is perhaps one of the hardest things to do in music, as electronic music is the genre that has almost the least amount of variance. 

 

Also, you may need to invest in some better DAWs that contain better synth sounds. What program where you using by the way?
