CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU TOO! <3333
Congratulations! This is an awesome energetic track :D
I totally agree with etherealwinds! It's deeply emotional and spurs me to contemplate my life. I almost never hit the download button on NG, but this is an exception because I never want to lose access to this track. I look forward to your NGAUC submissions!
Thanks for the very kind words!
This is lovely!
This is very fun to listen to! It instantly boosted my mood haha. Congrats on reaching your follower goal!
I'm glad to hear I'm an inspiration. It's cool to know that you tried recreating sections of my songs. I never heard a cover/remake of my music so it would be fun to listen to.
I have some mixing comments:
- The mix feels overly bright. I suggest experimenting with -1 to -3db bell cuts between 2k and 16k hz on all the instruments to get a feel for how it affects each sound. Some instruments need that brightness whereas others can sound much better with a warmer tone. Overtime, you can develop a taste for how bright or warm you like each instrument.
- If you haven't already, I suggest filtering the reverb sends with a lowcut 6db slope between 300-400hz and a high cut with a 6db slope between 4k-7k hz. This ensures that the reverb doesn't get too muddy or bright. If you're using delays, some of them have a built-in EQ filter where you can apply the same setting.
- The bass range is fairly weak. The kick and double bass blend together into a mush. You can try to find a kick that sits nicely below the double bass and EQ the double bass to give the kick some more breathing room. Using a lower key for the composition can also help give the double bass some more presence. Also remember to cut out some of the double bass' mids to make room for other instruments that need to occupy that range. If you darken the orchestral instruments, especially around 4k, you can boost that area on the kick so it pops out and has more presence.
- In regards to the arrangement, while composing, I suggest occasionally taking a global view of your composition where you can see all the notes simultaneously. Look for any overlap or lines that are too close together. Each musical line, whether one instrument or a blend of instruments, should have plenty of breathing room without competing with other lines.
Omg, thank you so much. Mixing has always been my weakest skill with music! It's probably about time I start taking it into consideration a bit more xd.
I'm always a bit fearful and iffy with the low end because I am scared to make things sound too muddy. But a piece does feel weak and substanceless without the bass. But I guess it ends up muddy anyway. I'll play around with it a bit more!
Thank you for the feedback!!
This is one of my favorites!
This is very enjoyable :)
This is lovely!!! I wanted the resolution at the end so badly haha
Thank you so much!
This is pretty relaxing and fits the vibe of the art well. Overall, there's a healthy amount of variation so it doesn't get stale, but perhaps the percussion rhythm could vary more.
True, this is more focused on the instruments, thanks!
I love it!
Thank you :)
I mainly compose orchestral fantasy music.
