Necrox

Not on PS3, but the Monster Hunter series is worth a look even if you have to branch out.

I don't know if I have a favorite, but the most intense memory was of laying in bed one night listening to Neurosis' Through Silver In Blood album from front to back. The immersion was drug-like.

This can go in Community, right? Well, over the past several months I've heard some great tracks from a certain artist my age that have left me feeling like I have waited too long to start and I also have just about no talent with composing, so I have felt very frustrated with music for a while now. In addition, hearing about how early Zircon started releasing his stuff brought me to a new low. I want to compose soundtracks for a living and I know the competition is fierce, so am I screwed unless I drop everything but school (I have good grades) and focused solely on music? I've only recently become consistently at work on my DAW. Edit: Yes, I know I messed up the title....

Screw it, I'm using samples.

Downloaded. The samples are not working on my computer, but I will leave a comment once I give the whole thing a listen.

Interesting piece; I have never heard chip sounds used in a piano/world piece like this.

The aggressive vocals at 1:30 felt a bit out of place, but the whole piece was enjoyable, especially the flute and per percussion.

I'm glad your entry is a bonus track haha.

Almost a week

I personally prefer the second tune. The first one kinda just went right through me, but the second tune had more interesting instrumentation.

I'm a novice, but I don't hear anything glaringly obvious with the mixing. I enjoyed the song (especially the part the first comes in at 1:16) and I like the variation that you did with the dirty bass. I will download it.

I'm not familiar with the music or story of Deus Ex so I can't compare you to the track's influences, but I feel that you made a nice background track. It sounds like typical filmscore, but reading the text that you provided, I feel that you did a good job of linking the audio and visual elements. My favorite part was when the helicopter was flying into the horizon.

I like what you did, but I feel that it is more fitting to an aftermath of a sad event or end of a story. The part starting at 1:32 had a solid mix of sadness (piano) and hope (strings); I feel that part in particular would be fitting to an emotional moment in a film.

I have one ready, but ThaSauce has not sent me a verification email for my account yet.

Oh man, this was my case. I've been a drummer for years, and I felt that I was decent. Music making was hard for me and still is, I buy the books and hardly read them too, and I've had FL since last Christmas, but I have yet to even finish a track. In addition, external circumstances have taken my drums away, so now, I'm not good at either skill

Nice take on a desert theme. It's surprisingly energetic and the bass work is cool. I like the horn part you put as the end of a loop.

November-December release?

I agree about the bass. You have a nice sonic concept going, but you keep it very conservative. If you don't feel that you could add a synth part that really complements the main melody, then I would at least recommend adding some more percussion.

My problem with drums is actually too much variation. It seems like a lot of what I make becomes an IDM break.

Only free synth I know of http://www.tone2.com/html/firebird_vsti_vst_synthesizer_1.html Thank you; this is pretty cool.

I have no consistent income or abundance of wealth, so are there any low cost plugins (probably $50 or less) that give good bang for buck? I am looking for synthesizer plugins that are good for pads (ambient bg sounds and "dreamy" stuff) and diversity is important too. I have been looking at Sytrus and I like the diverse array of sounds it can do; is that a good value, or should I look for something else?

It seems like some people here have a lot of skill for their age. Did you guys start when you were 12 or what?

Thanks for the update!
