["Golem vs Mech" - Music]

You're Good

Very Good...Can I ask how you went about composing this and how long it took?

OrphenFire responds:

I start by writing a melody, then I write some filler background strings/brass. Then I do it again with a new melody that makes sense with the first one, and alternate the two. I may add a third main melody and variate between all of them at different intervals and changing little dynamics. Once again, the last thing I add is the percussion. After I'm done, I have one movement. Then, I get to work on the second movement which will usually be in the same key but be an entirely different mode/theme. Sometimes I'll add an allusion to the motif from the first movement. The third movement is usually a rework of the first movement, and the end of the second transitions in to the third. It's an ABA method of classical composition.

Sometimes I finish one movement in about an hour, sometimes it takes several hours. Usually after I finish one, I take a break for a day or two and then work on the next movement. Total work time is typically 5-8 hours over the course of 3 or 4 days. However, sometimes I can take weeks or even months to finish something, but that's unusual. I have a couple of symphonies for which I written one movement almost a year ago, and still haven't worked on the next part lol.

[Zombie Victim]

It was pretty bad...

And here is why: First off the voice you used sounded like you're normal voice, which is not necessarily a problem, but you might want to change it a bit to make it fit the/a scene better. In addition, the tone of your voice, along with the dialogue sounded very fake. The thing with any acting including voice acting is you really got to sound emotional. You sounded like someone pretending to be attack by a zombie, not somebody actually being attacked. My recommendation is to watch some zombie movies and really listen to the tones and inflections in the voices of the characters, and then try and emulate them.

McDugals responds:

ok i think i see what you mean thanks for the advice

[Lullaby De Amor]

Hey..

Is this "I Will Survive" inspired?

larrylarrybb responds:

No, but listening to it now there is a part that sounds sort of similar.

[Zelda's Lullaby - Minish]

That's not...

Minish Cap, that's Ocarina of Time's Credit Music. Still pretty nice though. :)

JosephAS1 responds:

no way I based the melody of "Zelda" Lullaby" from "The Minish Cap" :3

[ParagonX9 - Infinity]

Yup, great

It's like if keygen music met sonic music. Awesome.

[Z3ta+ practice]

Nice, but...

At 0:45 with the low notes it gets a little dissonant sounding.

fyat66 responds:

ya im still new to z3ta so its gonna sound silly at times
but if you want me to try more ill do it and make a whole song

[Metroid Prime Remix]

Good, but...

The mixing could use a little work. The drums seem to be pretty far back in the mix, especially the hihat and the clap. They could be brought up more, and maybe replaced with some better samples. The default FL Studio ones are kind of bad. Although there are plenty of other drum packs in FL Studio. The clap should probably have some reverb as well if your going to be using like that. Sort of pulsing way. Other than that, very nice remix, not very familiar with the original but this sounds good. :)

[Roundabit]

Sounds interesting.

Makes me think of Professor Layton music on a pirate ship for some reason.

[Brainstorm!]

Pretty Nice.

But don't think I missed the little lord of the rings riff ya threw in there at 0:18 and 1:30 XD

pumodi responds:

I didn't even notice until you mentioned it haha. Good ear my friend. :)

[-Glorious morning-]

Very Nice Song

I've been meaning to write a peppy yet epic sounding song, this is the perfect inspiration. :)
