Gorgonian14 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 A hopefully exciting setting of one of the cutesy themes from the original Gauntlet. I made a crappy arrangement of this when I was first starting out, but it was pretty boring and uninspired, plus nooberific, so it just sat there. Hopefully I've learned a little since then. Here is the beginning. Obviously this isn't the whole thing yet. http://pwatts14.googlepages.com/gauntlet-scherzo-2.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgonian14 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Updated file with a lot more of the composition. If you listened to the original, this one is different now. http://pwatts14.googlepages.com/gauntlet-scherzo-2.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSneak Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I like it a lot. Unfortunately I'm much more familiar with the Gauntlet II theme, and not so much this one. However, I like your composition and it's got a fun, quirky style. I just wish I was more emotionally attached to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgonian14 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 I really appreciate the comments. I will hopefully be adding some stuff to it, but I was hoping to get a little more feedback from people here about whether or not this is heading in a good direction.

jabond23 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I think its heading in a good direction, but i do have a couple comments. I'm not sure if your going for the classic 16-bit sound with this or not, but I think adding some stronger sounding drums might give the track some more power and emotion to it. And seeing as how you only have a bass drum and cymbals, you can use something like a concert drum. Overall though, the arrangement is very good and all the instruments shine through. What do you use for your recording needs? Programs, instruments, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use FL Studio 8 and Garritan Personal Orchestra and a few strategic soundfonts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
