Exploring the world

[Napket]

Despite the fact that I'm broke and all I have is Cubase 5 until school starts again, I got an inspiration.

My partner and his friends are working on a game and although I can't say if it's ever going to be finished, I'm composing some music for it. This is the first version of a dungeon/exploring theme:

I've only added some basic EQ, reverb, dynamics etc. I'm still going to adjust levels and add some automation for instance.

Please enjoy and feel free to give feedback!

The timpani-like drum in the beginning sounds pretty robotic with the triple hits. Adjust the velocities so it rises in volume on those.

The brass is obviously from free material, but you can peak EQ the high end up for the bite real brass can have.

Thanks, lowering the velocity in that triple beat made the drums sound better.

Yeah this ancient version of Cubase doesn't have good brass sounds at all, it's hard trying to make it sound as good as it would in Logic or newer version (with its free samplers or Kontakt). I'll play more with the EQ, hope that'll work.
