Post Your Music

Hey guys!
It's been soooo long since I've been here. I don't know exactly when I last posted but it's been waaaay too long(I found it, it's been almost a year. Yikes). More great music here and it's been a pleasure to listen to. I've written a few comments just down below so you'll need to scroll down to your name and see what I've said about your song/songs! And if you scroll down further, you'll see my music and hopefully you'll give it a listen!

@MasterofRevels
Wrath of Pharaoh

I have to say, it's a really good song. I like how the drums really drives the song. The voices sounds great which really does give that Egyptian feel to it. The brass sounds good too to really give that epic feel that it would typically need for that kind of Hollywood Egyptian music haha. It's a great overall song. Great work!


@Rockenberg
Character battle 2

A nice fast paced battle like song! I quite enjoyed it. It's quite frantic and quite hype. I would be inclined to agree that it's goofy because of the synth! Good job!

@PixeLockeT
(The varcaroo recording you did)

Hey! So first off, let's address the elephant in the room. It sounds great. It has great progression, places where you allow the user to "rest" and synths to support your guitar. The drums has a nice beat and you have nice variations of it. You've even got a nice guitar solo around the 3:00 mark!
However, you need to be worried about a few things,
1. volume - You want your listeners to come into your song with a decent level so that their ears aren't blown out completely. I'm not saying loud is bad but you need to have a set volume. Most platforms has a LUFS(Loudness Units relative to Full Scale), for example YouTube has a standard of -14LUFS If someone was listening to a youtube video and then came to your song to listen to it, it would be totally different. The difference in loudness would be a deterrent. Making the listener uncomfortable. So be wary of it! (There's a lot more to this subject, go check it out! It's super interesting)

2. Balance for your song. Typically speaking, every song needs a beat and drums are super important but for songs like metal and rock, they tend to want their drums to be noticeable. Your drums are being overshadowed by your guitar because it's too loud and taking up a lot of the low end too. Let your drums breath! They want to be heard as well. Your hi hats are a little too loud but your drums aren't loud enough! Make some room for them. It would drive your song even more and it would be super awesome to listen to.

Other than that, great work, I'd like to see more of your work being posted it. Keep it up!

Five year winter
It's a wonderful atmosphere building song. It has that synth constantly being played to give a sense of tension. In the background there is another to give it sense of vastness. The transition around the 2 minute mark is pretty cool.

Galaxy map Revisited
Another really cool one too. I like strings in the back ground. Giving it more progression to the song. The song feels pretty good in terms of making it seem mysterious and tense. I like the simple piano melody. It keeps the listener listening!

Great stuff!

@EpicFILE
Never gonna give you up

You absolute legend of a troll. This sounds too good for what it is. hahahaha. It sounds really good. I like the synth, it sounds pretty smooth. I would say though this song sounds a little compressed a little too much. (or it could be just the drums that are a little too compressed) So because of that, the drums doesn't feel like it's in the mix. Although, weirdly enough, the drums sounds a lot better around the 2minute mark making it more present in the mix. I would like to see this song with a good mix because it has potential to be even greater and more troll as you envisioned it to be hahaha

Bury the light
A good remix. It has a nice overall balance to the song and really enjoyable. It's pretty good. Not much to say other than it's well done.


Good work.

Summer days - spring time

You know, I like it, a nice opening, simple with a flute to introduce and some glockenspiel to give this royalty feel. A choir to make it intense. Strings to bring more harmony.
HOWEVER, your snare duuuuuude. COMON. Let it play louder my dude! It's a simple snare roll and a few hits here and there which is completely fine but I can barely hear it. It wants to be heard! Let it be known to your listeners that it's there!


I'm happy that a developer has contacted you. Congratz!

@SongQueenSaeryen
(for both of your songs)

Okay so first things first, I want to say that I'm not a professional singer by any means but I do know enough to know that your inhale is lacking! It can be definitely heard to certain parts of both of your songs. For example in the song exec_reflec=etealune_magatama, around the 01:08 mark you run out of breath. Look up some breathing exercises and breathing techniques for singing! It makes a huge difference because you can sing longer without losing your breath.
And don't push on your voice too hard! If you want a long lasting instrument, you take care of it and your voice is no exception. You do this in the same song around the 00:40 mark. There is a right way of pushing your voice and it's not when you have you tense your neck muscles or for that matter, all of your upper body. Singing is a relaxed state and you need to be relaxed as you do. (with the exception of screaming in metal which you're not trying to achieve!)

As well as this, try mixing your song a little bit! Give it a little reverb and let it be in the mix of your song! You don't want this separation of the song and your voice!
As well address the distortion! I'm sure that's an unwanted sound in your song.

Other than that, good work for doing this. Work hard on that fanfic and the music! Let's see what else you come up in the future!

So here's my music, I hope you guys will enjoy!

@EggOFDoom
Hi! Thank you for the feedback!
You're right about the drum part of Never Gonna Give You Up remix.
It was my first attempt to make more orchestral sounding drums.
Usually I make a more "band-like" drums (like Bury The Light remix).

I felt that orchestral drums are mixed differently,
and I made a lot of adjustments to get the orchestral sound.
In the end it didn't come out as good as I wanted to. xD

Your music are cool!
The uplifting one is probably my favorite,
because it reminds me of FFXs Mount Gagazet. :D

@EggOFDoom Thanks sooo much for the compliments and advice! It means a lot to me.

@EpicFILE
I'm glad that I was able to give you some good feedback!

It's hard I know but you'll get the gang of it! Keep it up!

And thanks for the compliment. It means a lot to me. I have played the FF games but I honestly don't remember that song haha. It's been so many years since I last played them.
A lot of my songs are inspired by FF and many other games. So I'm glad that it has that feel to it! Makes me feel proud.

@SongQueenSaeryen
No problem! Just remember to take care of that voice!

Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback here and on my channel!

Also, nice pieces! "Insurance" sounds like it could be at home in an RPG, for those peaceful yet grand moments of looking out over a vast world.

Any time! I'm pretty bad when it comes to checking up on people and seeing how they are doing with their music but when I do, it's always a really awesome surprise to hear the differences and improvements. Although I do remember your music being pretty amazing to begin with when I wrote the first reply haha. Keep up the good work!

Thanks alot bud! I'm quite happy to hear that you really liked it and you were able to picture it in a game! It's a really good compliment that I will most certainly cherish.

Maybe someone would like to listen to the LV99: Final Fortress soundtrack while working on their own game? :)



If you like Post Black Metal, check out träumen von aurora.

Sounds great! I enjoyed it a lot. That's just perfect for a game.

Oh, thank you! :) Do you have a favourite track?

I think they all great for their purpose/environment!
I liked the most Shrine, Trailer and Battle, they all give emotion of exciting journey.

That one time I made an audio-only musical album.
[embedded media]
It's a Swing-Metal Band Orchestral Musical Tale for Days! This is vocal track...3, I think?

Maaaaaaaan all of your music sounds so crisp and professional xD Made some loops for my game just to try it out. Tried to keep it very simple because its a simple retro game...And I have no idea what I'm doing.

You seem to have a grasp on making music to my ears! Your "Strange Jungle", "Dark Chapel", and "Serene Conviction" pieces could absolutely make a good portion of devs choose your services over mine. Especially if my styles are missing what the project lead wants. And if my track record continues as it has been, I'm going to be composing for full on animations, action/fighting/shooting games, and movies before I'm hired for a 60-track (J)RPG. *Sniffles*

By the way, assuming you were referring to my music and not the OPs, thank you kindly!

Im not really an artist or anything, i just use beepbox :p I have no knowledge of musical theory at all actually xD

But its fun to tinker with and i like making as much of my game as i possibly can. They are all background kind of music because i dont know how to many anything else yet xD
I was indeed referring to your music, as well as others. checked out a few pages before posting. I have downloaded a DAW but its gonna take awhile to learn :p

This is my very, very first real attempt at making a sort of "Jazz Boss Battle" theme, so please forgive in advance for its many imperfections. Anyways, let my life be a lesson for you all: if you're a composer, please learn how to play the keys; don't be like me. Because I have no experience or knowledge of theory, I actually did 95% of the piano on a computer mouse. And it's just as time consuming and, uh, a choice, as it sounds in the track.

So, I haven't posted anything here in a long, long time. I had a ton of nonsense going on in my personal life, and I just got burned out on doing anything creative..... but I did this last night. Feels good to do things again.




PS. Holy crap, everyone posting here has gotten so much better it seems over the last couple of years. There's some really impressive stuff here these days.

Hello guys - I made a post in this forum of my game's whole soundtrack, but have only been told they aren't working. I tried to fix it but have no idea if it's working for anyone else. Here's one song, my battle music, does it play imbedded like this? Works for me, anyway


If it does work, the rest of the soundtrack is HERE

…Okay, sure, why not. I did some tracked stuff about a decade ago (with audio samples comprised of random files imported as raw data and run through enough filters to make vaguely listen-to-able), might as well toss a bit of it into the thread.

Box Fan Summer:


Brightness:


Recreation:


Something New:

This one isn't necessarily RPG Maker related, but I did do it as a test of my new audio setup.

I absolutely love this! Kind of reminds me of Hans Zimmer's work in the Prince of Egypt for whatever reason.
