TheKrow Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Sort of finished. I just wanted to share this with OCR community, since I really enjoyed writing this and am quite satisfied with the way it turned out. I know I still have a long way to go, but progress is progress. The reason this is sort of finished is because I eventually want to add vocals. Not sure what my chances are of finding a suitable volunteer on OCRemix are, but if you're interested let me know. I'll still be looking elsewhere. As for the song, I wrote it for someone very dear to myself, so it's somewhat emotional (to me anyway ). It's mostly a pop / electronica fusion with a little bit of far east spice to it, so if you're into that kind of thing then, this is your lucky thread inspection. (Oh yeah, I go by "Sleeping Forest" while doing my original works, in case that was confusing.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 What is that harp in my right ear? I swear I have that same sample. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKrow Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 It's a default sample from Kore Player I think. Can't remember the name off hand; it's a pretty decent harp though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROTO·DOME Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Y'know, I quite liked this- lucky thread inspection it seems. Nice builds with some nice chords- would love to hear a tune on top of this- seems like a backing track. Hrm, shall I criticise? Okay! ^w^ There's always and instrument playing ON beat (or every quaver/eighth-note-or-whatever-you-call-'em) as in, the rhythms are kinda simple in lots of places. You might really really dig that style, but it left the rhythm feeling kinda repetitive. Things got a liiiiiitttttttlllllleeee thick in places, perhaps that was because of the bassy bass- and I thought the drums were a liiiiiitttttttlllllleeeee weak too. BUT! I really liked it! ^w^ Possibly the best stuff I've heard from you- but- I've only heard a couple- of- tra-tracks so- this- could- be your worst stuff- but- I wouldn't- know. Cool.

TheKrow Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Well one reason there isn't much of a leading melody is because I left some room for the vocals (hopefully), so maybe I can fix that soon, dunno. I originally sought out for this track to be very simple, and keep a fairly consistent rhythm, so in a way, I'm glad that's what you're informing me of. As opposed to that Spirit's Grave mix you probably have heard, I wanted this to be more... "open" if you will, and less busy. Kinda. As for the thick places, probably more near the end, I wanted to build up to the ending a little be so I kinda just threw in about every instrument I was using lol... I'll have to work on that. As always, thanks for the feedback Proto :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strings at one point are overly loud in the soundscape. *nods* That is what I meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
