Composing in New Genres

Didn't get the forward for my Tension cue. Sharing what the screener said in his/her review.

This leans more towards a drone cue with not much of a main melodic theme going on. Relies too much on modulations for first half of the cue to ramp up tension.

Yep, right again on that review; very helpful. I'm going to shorten the first half so there's less time getting to the orchestration part. Keep it in stock for a future submission.

Write. Record. Submit. Repeat.

Hey Danny,

Listening to your High Energy Hard Rock Package. Love the low end on your tracks. The kick and bass combo is really crushing. Thick but not muddy.

At what frequency did you apply the HPF?

~Michael

Might be a bit unorthodox but Waves SSL HPF at 120 Hz but also adding Waves Maxxbass to make up the difference at about 80Hz.

Doing what I just mentioned, allows me to boost the overall loudness without busting your speakers.

Psychoacoustic bottom end rules!! Makes my stuff sound more analog as well!

Hmm...that is an interesting way to go about it. I'll have to give that a try.
