Mootz

Here's something I started yesterday. I oftentimes play these games with myself where I pretend (haha) that I'm writing music for some game/movie/commercial/whatever. It's good practice since capturing the mood is just as important as the quality of the composition/production. For this the theme was simply a science-fiction side-scroller reminiscent of metroid. I tried making my own synth patches this time around and really focused on production and mixing. I plan on adding more but would like some feedback on the mix (since I'm pretty awful in that field). Thanks for anything! EDIT: Made in Renoise using refx Vanguard and drums from vengeance essential clubsounds volume 3.

Many thanks! I'll try to add a few of my own original touches. Yeah, Sunvox rules for cool, glitchy, atmospheric sounds.

Just Downloaded SunVox yesterday and bled this out a few hours later. I am in love with the program and think that the sounds it produces are incredible. More people should use it it's free for Christ's sake!

I just finished this (testing out Edirol Super Quartet) and am pleased with how it turned out. I may want to extend (it is a little short), but otherwise I think it would work nicely in some sort of mini-game environment. Feedback is much appreciated!

Hey, thanks man! Even if you don't have any suggestions, it's great to hear praise. That is very encouraging, thanks again for your comments!

I started AND finished this today. I used a quote from Carl Sagan as the title (it also appears twice in the song, acting as a sort of transition). Very much inspired by The Flashbulb. An interesting fact: I didn't mix this AT ALL. I just put some compression on the master channel to boost the volume. That's how high quality the samples I worked with are, haha. Feedback is much appreciated. Enjoy!

That's fair. Not everybody likes spastic, IDM style drum beats. I changed the progression to make it have a darker feel, but I can understand if this makes it less enjoyable, ESPECIALLY if you are a big fan of the source tune. Thanks for your comments

Thank you for the excellent feedback! I definitely thought of increasing the complexity of the piano during the flute section, but was afraid that it would mud-up the mix. Changing keys is an interesting idea, and I'm glad you brought that up. I tried to make this sound as different as possible from the original while keeping the same feel, and I'm glad that shows. I really appreciate your comments.

Just whipped this up over the course of two days (but believe me, it wasn't an easy 2 days). Some parts I like a lot, but I feel like adding some more original material. Just drop me a line; I'd love to get some feedback so that I can finish this. One of the greatest songs I've ever heard in a video game (the original, obviously). Thanks in advance! The title is a work in progress as well, but I think that it fits. Here is the source:

I absolutely love the re-triggers on the c64 sounds The beat was pretty phat too, and the bass was nice and dirty sounding (but not muddy). I can't give you any mastering or mixing feedback (I'm listening to it on some pretty low quality speakers, unfortunately), but nothing seemed too loud or too quiet. Nice job!

I can't really come up with a good genre for this, but let me know what you think. This is my first post on this forum, but I have been working with music production for a bit less than a year. I think I mastered this track pretty well, but I think that it is a little too short. Crap, I misspelled oriental Comments are quite welcome
