City in the Sky

[Clizzz]

Yo, everybody, I recently got Fl Studio ( The Demo ) and decided to make a song for my upcoming game Man vs Ant. Anywho, I'd like some C & C. ( NO Flaming please, Fire is VERRRY Painful ) Also, please take into mind, I'm a Classical Pianist, so this is a pretty big leap for me. Thanks ':|

Hope you like it!

I can tell you first hand that most of the default FL samples are not the ideal selection for most composers. I'd suggest you go some place like Hammersound and get better soundfonts.

The song it self is repetitive and doesn't really have a direction. As an ambiance type theme it could fit, but it's definitely something that needs thorough refining. I'd suggest not filling your music up with Pads and be more bold in actual melody writing.

Still it's good to see people getting into digital music composition. If you want a sample of something I've composed you could check this song out:

Panda, that's not your best song, "drunklazybum" is.

its good just kinda boring for me. it will definetly be a good peice to play like if there is alot of dialogue or something . Otherwise its good.

 

[Clizzz]

Yeah, i know it is kinda boring, but I think i may make a revision to it sometime in the future.

I don't really see anything wrong with it. I found it kind of relaxing, and fitting for a "city in the sky". Though I barely know anything about composition.

Hey, thanks, I was kinda aiming for a relaxing feel. Anyway thanks for the feed back.

I really like it! It really does make me think of a simple city in the sky. Nice job!

 

[Clizzz]

LOL, Thanks once again, I didn't think people would like it.

I heavily agree with what panda has to say here about the soundfonts. As I have dabbled in FL studio and music myself, I really dislike some of the default fonts.

However, even though the song is repetitive and somewhat lacking a melody, I still give it an A+ for relaxing! If this fits the mood in the game, then you have succeeded. Good work

Thanks, I'm now trying to come up with songs that have direction, but I'm glad it is a relaxing song. :thumb:

Yeah, it reminded me of FFX. The thing is, it doesn't loop, and it feels a little same.
