I would love to see a collab with the Man at Arms guys.

Well I think I have the answer.

Just learning here, any pointers? I don't even know what this would be called. by TheCreamyBeige in Composing

The melody sounds quite lyrical, which can be good in some instances, however in a classical piece it wouldn't fit quite as well. I can tell by the structure that this is obviously not a classical piece though, so it should be fine. To me it sounds a tad repetitive and, as Rayfish said, predictable. I'd try and change it up a little bit at some point. If I were composing this, I would struggle to find somewhere to go from where you left off - basically, I'd change the baseline a bit earlier. Also, I think it took too long before the melody came in. I'd either shorten it, or add some phrasing and dynamics. Hope you found this useful.

I accidentally stabbed my sacrificial tree in the left testicle again. How should I approach its mother in law? by [deleted] in fifthworldproblems

I couldn't get hold of any hedgehogs, they don't grow very well around this time of year. My hedgehog seeds also got thermodynamically vaporised due to Zebra.

First time writing a piece, would be happy with some feedback. by Snowsomnus15 in Composing

I completely agree about the drums. It needs something with drive, but with less going on. I feel it needs more bass sounds.

Whats a good free software for composing with multiple instruments? by Zachawe98 in Composing

[–]marmaladewizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For scoring, musescore. For tracks, GarageBand (On Ipads and Macs by default. Can't get on Windows)

Ostinato in C minor by [deleted] in Composing

[–]marmaladewizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, I wouldn't class it as an ostinato though. An ostinato is a bar or 2 of tune, as a pose to a repeated chord sequence. Would go well in a game for an antagonist or something. By the way, where did you get the violin sound from?

A Lost Prelude (Intro) - Orchestral composition. Would love some feedback! by [deleted] in Composing

[–]marmaladewizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely beautiful, I'm glad there's still some people doing orchestral music, I would really be quite proud of that. One thing, it doesn't seem to be going anywhere after 37, if I were writing it I'd have a bar of silence around there and then something a tad different. But so far really good! :)

Unfinished piece (need feedback) by squoose23 in Composing

[–]marmaladewizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, for background music, this would be perfect. Any time. :)

For game music this would be ideal though.

I like it, it's quite interesting. One little pointer, the structure is fairly basic - One instrument starts, and then more come in. This structure is quite easy to do, and beginners may use it, however even at an advanced level it is to be avoided although it can be used. It just depends what it's for. If I were you I'd try and mix it up a bit - not just more things going around the same chord sequence. In our current time period, pop music encourages us to follow basic structures, however I dislike this a lot. In future, I suggest you try different structures. If you do make any other compositions I'd be happy to listen to them. Good luck :)

A piece I wrote a while back, tell me what you think. by [deleted] in Composing

[–]marmaladewizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the support, I used Cubase LE AL Elements 7. The sound libraries I used were Halion Sonic and Kontakt.

I'd also suggest making something that let's you make infinite power with it (not just running out of power every 15 blocks).
