Hard to describe the feeling this composition provides for me...I'm not familiar with the source of inspiration, so this is coming from a blind listener.
I just picture myself at a campfire, stars overhead. I just finished some large battle, or maybe I'm preparing for one. Perhaps one I'm not sure I can win.
I love the tavern bit at the end as well. It really gives off the warmth of such a place.
A faithful recreation, and the background you've provided is awesome. Seeing the length you went to in order to create a liability-free instrument pack is awesome. That's such a nice resource for the community.
Thank you for your submission, and for your contribution to the community! I've never used a tracker, so I don't know anything about them, so this might be a good entry point.
Super solid idea. I think like a previous commenter mentioned, this would totally fit as a metallica-esque piece imo.
What you've done here is great, the quality of the recordings are top notch, and it sounds very well mixed. If I had to provide one point of criticism, it's that it feels like it's building towards something that only partially gets started. What i mean is, near the beginning there are a couple times where you have some drum fills, and my body was expecting to move into a more intense part, if that makes sense.
Such a classic piece. Love this. Good selection of synth voices, feels very full. My only critique is in the mix, in some spots it feels a bit loud. But super good job!
Great choices with the different voices you chose. Twilight Hour feels very bright and soaring, love the feeling. Blue Horizons feels great as well. The bass used gives me that vibe that I am bobbing up and down on the back of a lapras. Love the grace notes and arpeggios used as well. Feels very fun. Nicely done, great arrangements.
You killed it again. Super crunchy and heavy. Great mix and master, just top notch stuff. Love how recognizable it is yet still feeling super original. Intro was great, but I feel that it could have been just a tad bit longer - that's my only criticism! Choice of voices was awesome. Love the end as well. Always a pleasure to hear your compositions!
One of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite N64 games. Feels like something entirely new but still with that underpinning of something so very familiar. Overall I enjoyed it, felt very nice slowed. Great work.
thank you! When I was working through this track I started with the location, an observatory. From there it evolved into a "royal" observatory. Which made me think of castle towers, which in turn prompted the waltz-y harpsichord.
Another entry using a tracker, love it! This absolutely embodies Kirby, 100%. The pace and percussion are on point. The melody and lead voices feel unique and overall, this is a bop. Thank you for sharing!
Very spacey! My only critique is on Starspotting, it feels like it could get to the drums a bit quicker. But that's probably just my personal taste. Once that kicks in, it's absolute V I B E S. Great work.
Goodness, these tracks...just incredible. They all feel so alive. They all tell a story. The instrument choices are fanstastic, and you can really tell when live recordings are used. Amazing work. If you aren't already doing this for a living, you definitely should be. I especially enjoyed the guitar pieces in the first two tracks. Thank you for this submission.
Yeah, I felt like a shift to a minor key in the 2nd track was appropriate. It ends on a major chord though, letting the listener know it's not hopeless! Thank you for the feedback. :)
Thank you! The Pad is from LABS by Spitfire Audio. They have a plethora of different vocal, instrumental, and ambient sounds. The instrument in particular you're talking about is from the 'Siren Song' pack, it's actually called Whalesong, lol.
Great work! Very different interpretation of the theme from the other submissions I've heard, but I can still see this fitting. Great work. Filter and effect usage on point!
Honestly, fantastic work. Each track really and truly feels like it's from something I've played before. The way they were created using a tracker is awesome. Lots of energy in these tracks!
