Short battle theme

I'm not good with notes but i am good with rpg melodies.

I like the melody but the pitch is rather low. I think its because of that "drum"? or was that called the bass or something.

If you are going to update your music I think i'm going to use this. This is really good midi!! ^_^

Oh and I just noticed... Your end of the midi has a 3sec pause before it repeats itself.

P.S. In the middle of the midi it feels like FF 12. Nice... :)

One of the things i've noticed in the song too. It feels somewhat muddy because of the drums, and isn't too polished. With some mixing, it could improve. Thanks for your input. :] 

Which song from FF12 btw? @_@  not very familiar with the OST of that gam.
 
I don't know the name either. It just feels like it but not saying it has the same sound.

Ok, to make it clearer. You are pro at making rpg midi to come up with something similar. Keep them comin!
 
Well, for now you're better than me, but my reign shall only slumber for a brief period.

Very well orchestrated piece. I especially love your use of the staccato strings. It didn't sound as humble of a battle theme as I thought it would, but hell the more epic the better! :D

Ven: He doesn't make the music. He IS the music. So like anytime he ejaculates it's a song. Really his days are just repetitively jacking off.

Are you going to update this, Shizu?

Much Sorries, Darky. : (  been very busy lately.  I need to get back into my groove and i'll work on it.

Edit: wait.. what do I need to do with it exactly?  :tongue:
 
I love the melody.  It's so intense.  The piece was slightly repetitive, but that's how I think battle themes should be.  We don't want to distract the player with long, progressive pieces.

Good Work!
 
I guess I'm the only one with problems.

The song lacks that good sound that makes me want to listen to it. It's quite...boring, actually. Maybe amp up the bass? It's a little quiet and it makes the song that much...worse, should I say? No, it's quite good. Just that small problem makes me not like it as much as I should.

I understand your approach and in what perspective you listen to it. The song lacks variation, and mixing qualities that makes any track thoroughly enjoyable to listen to. I know them, and it takes a heap load of practice and fine-tuning to get it sounding like Console OST that go through the whole mixing/mastering process. You're right, the composition alone doesn't determine its quality, but the sound plays an important role on how its presented.
