Interesting take its sound more "traditional" 90's game pretty unique, i feel like its unfinished, we have the feeling to go somewhere else but you just faded it, where's the rest of it XD. Anyway good job
Man that reverb fx on the timpani at around 1:30 is a delight!
Really enjoyed your submission, good job
Take care :)
I feel like I'm in an abandoned castle in an early 90's JRPG. This was extremely evocative for me. Great stuff. I agree with others that the mix is soft and gentle, like it's coming out of an a rear-projection television's speakers. Works great for setting the mood.
The electric guitar at the end really grabs my attention there, I though we're gonna switch to rock lol.
Really like the solemn atmosphere, great work!
The mixing is nice, not in it even being a super complex mix, but just in the fact that it's very gentle on the ears.
I think maybe the timpani sounds a bit dry, though I could see that being stylistic. I like the gong/metallic percussion in unison in the later part of the track 1:21.
Great work! :)
Thanks! It's nice to hear words describing parts of the mix like "dry" and "close" as I feel like I can't always put my finger on why something sounds the way it does. My approach to shaping the mix mostly consists of listening to the nearly completed track on a few different areas (headphones, studio monitors, earbuds, laptop speakers, phone speaker) hoping for a consistent experience. If I perceive anything sticks out too much or too little I'll do something about it. I would like to get a bit more methodical about it in the future :)
Oh, little key-chain sounds so close to the ears are so good. The composition gives a lot of vibes from Heretic / Hexen series or some old fantasy movies like Conan.
Love it.
I love how the focus on the council chamber aspect of your lost city comes through—instrumentally, it really complements the idea. The guitar at 1:52 is especially great!
