theacefes Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I have been assigned a task to put together a "demo reel" of sorts of my music. For those who don't know and haven't spotted my annoying samples in the past, I like to make classical/soundtrack-y music. I would like this to look good so I want my best stuff put in there. The reel needs to be between 1 and 2 minutes long so obviously only clips of my songs will go in there. I have my own opinions on which songs I think are my best and which aren't, but in this case, I'd really appreciate outside opinions. So, if anyone is really really (I mean *really*) bored, I was wondering if they would be so kind as to browse through my songs (while avoiding looking at my goofy picture) and give me feedback as to which of the songs are best suitable for my "reel". You can post it here or you can shoot me a PM. It doesn't matter. Oh, here's the link: A Link. Thank you. Link to comment
Sorrow Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I think it would be easier to get feedback if they could be downloaded as zipped albums or on some kind of streaming site with playlist, because clicking on each file and playing it is rather tedious. Link to comment
theacefes Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 It is a streaming site if you have an mp3 plug in like Quicktime. Again though, only if you have loads of free time. Link to comment
Salk Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I went through all of them (I had a hobby of MIDI composing in the past) and here's the ones I like better (in appearance order): - Forest at Day I - City at Day II - Asceran Track I (the most ambitious though it'd benefit of a better arrangement) - Last Hope - Ninde's Song By the way, it seems to me that you make massive use of slow strings and pads in most of your pieces. But not much male voices, which I would expect in epic/evocative tunes. Any particular reason? Link to comment
theacefes Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. You seem to enjoy the slower sounding stuff. As for your question: would love to implement male voices in there...or more voices period. On that issue it's just a matter of my equipment and the fact that I am not fond of the instruments for those that I currently have. When I had access to a studio a summer ago, I was able to come up with a few pieces using these, however my home studio just doesn't have it. If/when I decide to invest in such a workstation, you will probably hear more of that from me. And yeah, you could probably tell, but I don't often do MIDI compositions: I use direct line ins/mixers.

Evaine Dian Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 My favourites are "Shadowhand Theme" (epic!) and "Setting Off" (sounds sort of similar). Others I liked in the order they were listed: Town at Day I Asceran Track I Floating Lights Tense Ninde's Song NWN Tavern Theme Not Too Late (Gracie's Song) Link to comment
igi Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I've listened to most of them (about 10 I've not listened to - there's a surprisingly long total playtime). The ones I liked best are below: Five Years Alone Forest at Day City at Day II Town Day I Asceran Track 1 Leaving It All Behind Landslide Background Flute68 Transitional68 Last Hope Sarah's Song 1 Link to comment
theacefes Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Wow, thank you Evaine Dian and igi. I'm starting to see some similarities so this is definitely helpful. I thought about posting the Banana Remix on there but I don't think that shows off my music so much as my stupidity geniusness. Link to comment
