Very triumphant! I feel like a lot of tracks this jam have focused a bit too much on the bells, and not enough on the triumph!
Also, I'm very curious about your workflow. Do you record a classical guitar with a microphone and convert it to MIDI? Do we have the technology to do that in the current year!?
Thank you for the feedback!
Yes, I really wanted to focus on the sense of triumph, and I’m glad I managed to pull it off :D
As for my workflow, it’s not exactly like you described. I take my classical guitar and use it to figure out the score for each instrument. Then I write that score down in Guitar Pro 8. After that, I export the parts as MIDI so I can lay down the foundation of the track in Reaper. Once in Reaper, I mix everything into a single track and add more parts if the mix feels too empty. That’s pretty much how I do it)
Aaah, okay that makes more sense! Still an interesting workflow, I've never tried writing down the entire score first. I might try that some time!
Really neat orchestration :) everything sounds well-placed and thought through, I especially like the opening cymbal fade-in and the build-up leading up to the resolution. The main (bell? I think) melody could cut through a tiiiny bit more, but overall it's a great lil song that could play in a post-battle victorious scene for sure :D
Thanks a lot, I'm really glad to hear it! Also thanks for the suggestion about the bell. I think adding more bells would definitely make the mix better!
Very nice submission. Really cool orchestra, drums and strings etc. Bell melody was nice and sweet, like from a JRPG, but seemed a little alone, so could have been accompanied by 1 or 2 more bells/mallets/glockenspiels.
Thanks for the feedback! It's cool that the tune gives you a JRPG vibes :D Also thank you for the suggestion about adding more bells, I'll definitely try it!
Really nice mix! The build up makes you anticipate what's coming next. Great job 👍
Thanks for the feedback!
