I always like a little room verb on drums too, to liven them up, but that's personal taste i guess. Other than that I think the rest of the sounds are perfect.P.S. I just noticed - you are using Reason?Thanks Tcaddigan...Wow! That is Awesome that U dig my work... Always feels good when someone else can enjoy Ur/my works...Yes, I use Reason in 83.333% of my works =)Appreciate the feedback too... am working on the track today so will definitely listen to U & all who gave feedback. This forum is Fantastic becos of the Ppl here.Welcome to the forum too... Talk again soon..-Kel

Hey Kel-Like Vince says, it's a good start. Agree too that it didn't go anywhere.....Keep in mind that it's 60 sec.Best wishes,Al

This one has some dynamics and a different mood to it than I heard in the other two pieces I just listened to and I'm glad to hear it!! I take back what I said one of my other critiques! I would like to hear the slow attack "bowed" sound enter earlier and then leave and come back again. I think that would add to tension because the ear would be wondering if it was going to come again.I like the dark quality of the percussion and I think this piece would work well under a scene with sparse dialog. This is one of the few pieces I've heard for this listing that actually feels like score material and not like a 60 second piece of music designed to be listened to on it's own and that's a good thing, IMO. I think you are very close on this one, don't mess with it too much. There's space in here for visuals and dialog, don't trash it up but add some more shifts in mood, as the listing is calling for.Cheers!Mazz

I like all your stuff. I think you have a real talent for this. Your stuff is fresh and unique, at least to my ears. Keep up the great work! I can't comment on the listing vs your music. Instrumentals are not my thing but I can appreciate that you're good at what you are doing.

Hey KelI like this. It reminded me of times playing Metal Gear Solid on the PS1 and 2! Maybe this is where this sort of tune would be bestplaced - in a stealth game or something. You've got a good atmosphere going here.Shawn
