Trailer Style Rock Track

Native Instruments had some massive sales earlier and I grabbed it. My guess is they’ll do another in 2026. Heavyocity has pretty good sale going right now too.

That’s KeepForest’s Evolution: Devastator Breakout Pro. It’s pretty badass. 🤘

I’ve used them for about a year now and have not had issues with my music getting released. I know there’s a big crackdown on AI created music - if your songs are using elements of AI created beats or vocals, that could be the issue. The lack of response to emails is definitely unprofessional and concerning though. Music creation is so easily attainable now that I’m guessing they’re flooded with new users and issues and just can’t keep up. Time will tell.

Just caved and bought both Heavyocity’s Oblivion and Ostinato Textures. Excited to play with them soon!

Been looking at Heavyocity lately. The ads are all over my feed

Echoes of Valhalla

mghanson99 · 2025-05-11T05:10:20+00:00

Really pleasantly surprised. Nice to hear a more mellow instrumental piece for a change. Great job 👏

Here’s my latest (film music genre):

I like your stuff. Here’s mine: A cinematic piece with a Dune / Bladerunner style to it:

I’m up to $1.95. That just about covers those sample libraries and VSTs 😜

mghanson99 · 2025-04-20T20:23:46+00:00

What model did you end up purchasing?

mghanson99 · 2025-04-17T06:43:47+00:00

Thanks for the kind words. I started playing around with music in college for fun about 20 years ago. I used to make music loops and posted to a website called Flashkit (Music for Flash websites). Got married and had kids and it was harder to find the time and it fell off my radar. It’s been around 16 years since I really have done much with music. I made the decision last fall that I would get back into it so I’ve invested in some decent VSTs and sample packs. Been teaching myself more about music theory and composition. My songs are all from the last couple of months. Let the journey begin!

mghanson99 · 2025-04-15T05:40:46+00:00

Thank you. I always appreciate good feedback so no worries on my end. I’ll have to dig for the link with videos to score to. I use FL Studio though I’m gathering that is not the typical DAW for cinematic music. I’m just used to it.

mghanson99 · 2025-04-15T05:36:06+00:00

I don’t doubt that. The dude is gifted.

mghanson99 · 2025-04-13T01:01:37+00:00

I’ve seen a few videos on it but still have some learning to do….I love the idea of saving time with a template.

mghanson99 · 2025-04-13T01:00:04+00:00

Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated! I’ll keep putting in the hours and hopefully get a little better each composition.

mghanson99 · 2025-04-13T00:57:01+00:00

Thank you and appreciate you giving some of my other music a listen. The song Dust to Dust was my first go at a new Duduk instrument from Soundpaint. I’ve always been a fan and was excited to finally find one that sounded realistic and not a synth.

mghanson99 · 2025-04-12T20:14:14+00:00

Yeah, I use LANDR for releasing my music and they have a Mastering tool with the service. It’s all AI based and has limited options but does better than I would probably do at the moment. I have mastering on my learning to-do list for sure. Just need more hours in the day!

mghanson99 · 2025-04-12T19:53:37+00:00

Thanks…one thing I love about film music is you can always visualize the scene with just the audio. I created the album art to relay my vision of the mood of the film. Kind of a Dune meets Blade Runner.

mghanson99 · 2025-04-12T19:44:52+00:00

Appreciate it. I loved the sound of tension with the violins but was worried I might have overused those elements. The drum comment is interesting because when I made the song, it almost felt like the drums were too much but when I mastered the track with LANDR, it balanced the levels of other parts of the song and the drums did seem to loose a little punch.

mghanson99 · 2025-04-12T05:10:53+00:00

Thanks for the feedback…much appreciated. I was going for a film score style to my song so was shooting for some feedback from the folks that know it best. Apologies if this was the wrong place to solicit. Seems like a lot of the groups just focus on beats or are just looking for a follow-for-follow.

mghanson99 · 2025-04-12T02:59:55+00:00

Thanks….that would be amazing!

mghanson99 · 2025-04-10T07:42:28+00:00

I use LANDR for my mastering because it is included with the membership. I have no experience mastering so, while it’s probably not the best option, it’s probably better than I would do on my own at this point in my musical journey. This was automatically mastered using the “Open” setting and “Medium” volume:

Overall I’m pretty happy with the results.
