Phonetic Hero Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Just a quick credits theme I slammed out while I was at my day job yesterday. Over the past couple days I wrote the score for the first part of a post-apocalyptic series of short films my friend is working on, and I thought I'd share this as sort of a preview before I post the completed product when it's put with the video. All thoughts welcome (and ecouraged )! Afterworld: Dead End - Credits Pete Edited November 7, 2013 by Phonetic Hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpazilla Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 This is epic. Is it going to be looped I assume? My only issue would be the string stabs, somehow they sound a little flat, quiet and dry. I'd love a sharper attack and a touch more volume and some more reverb too. I wonder if it the sample that's the problem. Maybe the strings just need to be mixed so they aren't sounding quite as squashed by the other instrumentation. I just think they could be more prominent, pop out better. Maybe stereo-separate the poop out of them too. Other than that, WOW so cool Pete.

The credits sequence is even shorter than the actual track, so it'll cut out even before it cuts here. There's a lot of work that could be done on the production end of things, but I needed to get it done quick... The strings in particular, are a shitty sample. The only decent one I've got is from Kontakt Elements (and most of my orchestral stuff is from KE, which is pretty lackluster - takes LOTS of processing to get them to sound reasonable). There's a recurring problem with them with the timing too, which I forgot to fix here. They end up lagging behind, a bit, which gets to be annoying. Oops!
