i like it. all it needs are some granny vintage samples. lo-fi ftw

thanks!, i am not sure what you mean by granny vintage samples though

thanks for sharing, i think it has potential, all that matters now is what you plan on doing with it? quite an epic sounding sort of track, really deep.

i got some interest from a vocalist, today i was mixing it with a electronic music track and it sounded pretty nice. I think i might add some clicky drums but nothing too much. I had also thought about playing some live piano over it. Hopefully I wont get lazy and abandon it.

Thank you! :D

i don't care for the way that first synth pulsates. it's kind of distracting. if the idea was to get listeners attention then maybe you could make it change speeds as it plays to make a more interesting texture.

the trumpet sound is nice but i feel like it needs something... maybe play with the envelopes a little or maybe add some reverb. i like the melody it's doing.

the high pitched synth doesn't fit imo. the tracks seems like it should be mellow and chill but the high pitches aren't relaxing you know? maybe if you made that melody more stacatto but extended the notes with a delay it wouldn't overpower the mood so much.

it's a start. keep working on it man

thanks great suggestions. It is a bit high pitched. It is all done with synful orchestra, i dont really like it much anymore, i was happier with edirol orchestral. You have any suggestions for a better orchestral vst? The good ones are a bit hard to come by for free. One day maybe ill break down and spend 3 grand for a nice one(in my dreams!)

nothing's like a real orchestra. imo you'd better compose for instruments you can actually record (that's if you've got musician friends indeed). either that or use computers for what they can do best - electronic music. i mean it's good for training but not for releasing...

i was gonna call the kronos quartet but i figured they would be busy :P

also id like to add that, i didnt really make this for releasing anywhere. Ive never really released anything and i dont take that approach when writing a song. Is this place only for stuff intended for release somewhere? I thought it was about having fun
