[Groovy Track #1]

Definitely reminds me of a college/coming of years movie. Always lots of brownie points when you invoke nostalgia in me. I don't hear any flaws in the music that bother me, sounds pretty solid all around. Good job!

[Movie Trailer Guy]

I've listened to all the voice acting tracks you've posted up to as of 24/01/2013. I'm not an expert in this area, but I can definitely hear that you have unique voices and that you certainly have talent. Also that you took the time to NOT record anything on a dollar store microphone. I'm hoping - if not already - that I'll catch you in a flash somewhere, maybe a commercial. Keep it up.

MDeBonis responds:

Thanks for the encouragement! :D

[Quest of Ezra - Teaser]

I'm assuming the intro is supposed to be a homage to the elder scrolls. I like the second song, so chipper. Very nice brass around 4:50, once again feels like a slight homage to the elder scrolls there again. Very nice video game sounding orchestral music. Now I'm not usually the biggest fan of electronic music in video games, but I can appreciate that this has been well put together and commend you on that. Overall, very solid work well done.

GunnRouche responds:

I will be honest, up until someone else pointed me to Morrowind, I had never heard that soundtrack (nor played the game for that matter)!
So I am going to put it down to great minds thinking alike haha

Thanks for your comments, the brief for this soundtrack was to be in the style of 8Bit / Chip Tune - but I wanted a more modern feel to it. I really enjoyed doing the orchestral stuff and am hoping to dig deeper into that facet of sound design - I will hopefully be uploading a more 'Epic' sounding piece onto my soundcloud shortly.

Again thanks for the comments, and keeping me motivated to do more!

[True Placebo]

I'm not sure what VST you had available but everything sounded great except the percussion. The melody is invoking nostalgia and is certainly making me bias to how much I enjoy this piece. It does get a little repetitive as well. Like I tell many composers, modulate! Awesome work though.

Lethal-Input responds:

Thanks for the feedback! Most of the sounds I either made on Sytrus or 3xOsc (most from following tutorials.) Do you have any good free percussion VST suggestions? Well i'm sure I could have gotten better stuff with some of the default presets, I probably just didn't look hard enough.

[Sorrow]

I wish it were longer. You could have turned this in to so much more. There is an eerie beauty to this piece and it really captured my attention. Well done.

[Electric Sled Ride]

You've got a great beat in the background. The song starts great too, but it does feel a little dry until about 1:02 when you introduce something slightly different and it does pick up for a bit. I think in this case what you need to pay attention to is your melody. You seem to have a fairly strong grasp on having a decent harmony, but I think you could have easily added one more instrument - a leading part - and it would have really spiced it up. Still a solid work. Keep it up!
