Beniel's Music Thread

[Beniel]

Hey guys, I've just recently gotten interested in composing background/game music. Therefore I've composed a short unfinished piece called awakening, to try and see how I would fare with that type of music. You can download it here:

It's my first attempt at this style of music, and I would be glad to hear any feedback you guys might have. In the past I have only done recordings for rock style music, and made a random dance track for the hell of it, so be nice, I should get better

The other thing is I'm still trying to find suitable software to meet what I want to hear from my pieces, the current program I am using sounds a little clunky (which can be heard in the quavers of the melody) and has really mechanical sounding time (perhaps it doesn't deal with 3/4 well...)

Hehe, nice track, that's definetly gonna become something good    .

The strings at the beginning sound a bit too artificial, perhaps you can try to replace the ¼ notes at the beginning with dotted half notes... just an idea or add an accent to the first note of each measure. or use another synthesizer/instrument.

I'm looking foward to seeing this being finished

[Beniel]

Yeah, I have been trying to find a better program, but I daresay I will have to end up paying if I want a half decent one.

So I will probably get round to finishing it once I find a suitable program :S (soon, hopefully)

But thanks for your feedback firiban.
