[RPG] A few songs and demos

[Rottenwood29]

These are some songs ive been working on over the past few weeks. Two of them, ive already posted, but remade. They are all midis that i converted to mp3 so the sound is a little cheesy, especially the guitar. I'm trying to use real guitar, but my recorder is broken. So once i get it fixed i'll make higher quality versions of these. well.. enjoy!

Golden Meadows- I'm kinda on the fence with this one. I feel I need to add something to it, but I might just leave it like this. http://bb.xieke.com/files/Golden%20Meadows.mp3

Nightfall- Please bare with the synth guitar. It sounds a lot better with real guitar, but I don't have the means of recording it right now. http://bb.xieke.com/files/Nightfall1.mp3

Nocturnal Destiny- Same as the one I posted before, but higher quality. Again, please bare with the synth guitar! http://bb.xieke.com/files/Nocturnal%20Destiny1.mp3

Organs of Twilight (demo)- This is either gonna be a full length song or something that'll loop for certain levels. http://bb.xieke.com/files/Organs%20of%20Twilight.mp3

Pianist of Twilight (demo)- Same as Organs of Twilight, but with a piano. http://bb.xieke.com/files/Pianist%20of%20Twilight.mp3

cool so since no one has said anything I guess i will.

Golden Meadows sounds like something from Final Fantasy IV. The light strings are very nice, and I visually can see a shrouded mist or something when the string ensemble comes in. The piano soundfont sounds gross imo, i like it but i agree it needs more, a little more progression. Its too short but could sound good looped as it is.

i like nightfall's intro, sounds like a chrono cross dungeon. JESUS THE GUITARRRRRR ugh that sounds like a softsynth overdriven guitar. The piano would sound better with some reverb to it, kind of like the strings. The part with the voice echo entrance is ok. the instrumentation is nice but the melody kind of blows. also, the guitar tends to drown out the piano and its not audible at all in some points. the piano/guitar melody is kind of catchy! the drums also sound sort of dull at some points.

at this point i can already tell your music's style, which is pretty nifty. I like the way you compose. Nocturnal Destiny starts off with a cool melody, and the accented voices help emphasis this! guitar sounds a little better in this but.....??????? where did it go I wanted to hear more

organs of twilight sounds like its written in 6/8. Oh dude, this has a cool melody to it! Reminds me of FFIX a tad but again WTFFFF i actually liked this one!!! make this one much longer, although you stated it was a demo so im waiting the final version! :D

pianist of twilight sounds very generic....not nearly as haunting or elongated as organs. add some echo to it! shitty piano soundfonts sound better with a tad of vocal elongation.

I like these all so far! post more, id be glad to listen to them in the future! also try adding some definitive dynamics to it, It all sounds so strung along, with no variation in sound or color.

Thanks for the response! I was getting a little impatient haha. I'm glad you liked them. Thanks for the advice too.

Golden Meadows does have more to it that I recently added. There was more to it before that I cut out because it was a little darker and I decided to make it more of a warm soothing sound.

Nightfall is one of my favorites, but I have the most trouble with that one. Originally, the sound and feeling was much different. I had other parts to it that got cut. Some parts came out like heavy HEAVY metal, and some parts sounded like hip hop. So I just kept the dark and kind of heavy parts. Originally the piano had sustain, but when I converted from midi to mp3 it came out crappy. So I took it off. With real piano and guitar it sounds cleaner and smoother. Synth sucks

Nocturnal Destiny isn't finished either. I didn't really expect anyone to want more guitar in that one to be honest. I actually added the guitar in kind of last minute and thought I might be pushing it. Although, I have been told it adds a good contrast to the strings.

Organs of twilight is written in 3/4. I'm really glad you like that one! It's one of my newest creatinos. I was originally just gonna have it loop, but I have more material for it that would sound good.

Pianist of twilight was pretty much an experiment. I was trying to give it a different feel than organs. More of an inspirational feel than haunting. But your right on it being generic. I wanted to keep as just piano, but it probably needs more. If I stick with the inspirational I'll add some type of string maybe even brass!

I'll definately make and post more when I can. As of now my computer's messed up. I can only go on safe mode. I can't make, edit, upload, or even listen to music on my computer. >:0!! But I did get my recorder fixed, fortunately.

I gotta say, I thought I was gonna get torn apart on here. I appreciate the feedback! I will post more as soon as I can!

golden meadows is a nice little composition. it sounds like it was building up to something bigger before it cut out, so maybe that's what you're missing! the droning piano melody was maybe a bit too loud to be a drone, or maybe it was just the higher meloddy notes in the background that should have been louder? like i said, it's nice, but it sounds like it needs to be finished. :}

nightfall
man you really need some better soundfonts or synths. i'd imagine this could sound good with some better sounds, but i have no idea what the loud rhythmic blasts were supposed to be. o_O the melody was okay, but it could standed a few progressions. i didn't care for this one much. :\

nocturnal destiny. nice, again. :p
this is such a cool little tune man, i think you did really well with it.

organs of twilight.. interesting use of the organ and accompanying accordion. it could have been cooool but it cut off so soon. finish your songs man!

i think you need to find some new synths, and find more time to finish these suckers. >:0

 

[Rottenwood29]

hey thanks for the reply, cruelty! i appreciate your advice as well. i definitely do need to finish up my songs haha. ive just been eager to post stuff up. i have limited resources.

golden meadows does build up more. thats what i most recently added. ill change the volumes around too and see what i make.

nightfall is becoming more of a failed experiment =[ the rhythmic blasts are actually synth guitar haha sorry! ive been trying to add more to it but like i said FAILING!

im glad you like nocturnal destiny and organs of twilight! im adding more to organs.

ill post the final versions as soon as i can!
