Orchestral Madness EP

[ShadowRaz]

Ok, even though i had almost exact same title on my previous topic here at post your original music ( Orchestral Madness EP (unfinished screen capture sum up) )

But, as it says unfinished screen capture sum up and can't be edited, the title is misleading as i finished it today and uploaded it to Bandcamp here is the link:

It's free to download, but i would also appreciate any support if you like the music, as i am saying in the description of the EP.

Anyway i would also appreciate some honest feedback on any of the 6 tracks. Anything from the compositions / build, used instruments and sound designs, to mixing and mastering (general EQ or loudness advice). Any advice on how to improve my future work if you spot anything wrong, so to speak, in your personal opinions.

This is really good. Did you intentionally start off every song with the same sound effect though? The dubstep stuff at around 0:50 in "Whatever" is a bit too loud. But I think that it blends in pretty well other than that.

Thank you very much.

And well basically i did intentionally use the same virtual sustain violins to make the chords i wanted to start every song. I personally like it and as it is an EP under the same name i basically thought that the tracks should have something in common even though they also change into lot's of different genres as they go along, and i did not get that many of great new ideas in a short period of time either as i kind of rushed making it but not entirely still. It's kind of an ambient orchestral start for songs, more or less. And even though i have already quite a collection of virtual instrument libraries to play with plugins and sound design plugins, i still would require more to make even more different tunes although i could already in some amounts of course as i have already, and if i were to focus more on melodic sound designs for example, that would allow me to make more different saw wave melodies etc. Or for example start off with some smooth piano melody or something. This EP "is only a tiny part, of worlds, yet untold" (get it ) as i am currently already working on 2 more EP's ('Orchestral Redemption EP' and a full house EP under the Name 'Sunshine EP') and also 2 remixes and many more to come.

And also yeah, i had really hard time with 'Whatever' as the sound designs aren't the easiest to make and especially mix properly. trying to practice my skills all the time when i produce.

Thank you for the feedback, truly appreciate.

By the way, do you know why it is kind of funny to name my upcoming EP as "Sunshine EP"?

Because my last name in Finnish is equivalent to the English translation sunshine.  I was at some points bullied in the past about it also but now it feels like just freaking hilarious name to have, don't give a fuck if someone would want to make fun of it (for example sing a song (Sunshine and Goblin) that includes the word), not a child anymore who gets insulted over empty words or harmless fun.

Tried to fix the first chorus of the 'Whatever' for the Youtube upload. Sidechain compression on one drone at least was too big so it got too quiet and also the 'BROOOUUUU' growl (as in the growl that rises with pitch and then lowers back down, without any drone-like stops and modulations) was too loud on around 200hz and volume also compared to other growls etc.. well it is maybe too loud on this version as well.. and also screeches be either too loud, or too quiet.

(In huge relation to the Serum problem topic on productions category, my Serum is messed up, for example for some reason in the project screeches are ridiculously quiet, but when rendered, loud all of an sudden)
