Some feedback on a couple of tension cue's I've been working on would be much appreciated!

Nice production quality...MIx etc. all good.

Dark Investigation . Not enough elements weaving in and out IMHO so it sound like I'm on a bit of loop with little or no development.

Deserted Wasteland . This one is a bit better than the above in that respect. I notice you stay on one chord the whole time so it has a bit of a drone like quality. I think it works for this one but not so much the other.

Sting ending needs work on both...editor needs to be able to get out of your cue and you aren't making life easy for them.

Thank you Mark!

When you say string ending on both...more like a stinger ending?

Any suggestions for Dark Investigation, additional element(s)/ sounds/ textures I could introduce?

Speaking from a guy who has gotten tension forwards but nothing signed just yet....

"Dark Investigation" Excellent sounding! This is kind of like my last one that got forwarded? Not too much variation, but there is some. If the example is kind of like this, it may get forwarded.

"Deserted..." You've definitely got the tension thing down! Love that swoosh.

Yes..the editor needs to be able to finish the scene and get to the next one..it's not very easy at the moment for them with the way the tracks end.

For Dark Investigations I would try using more than just one note for starters..go somewhere else..then come back. But any percussion ..moody chord hits...a different arpeggio ..risers & hits...there are no edit points really so you need to add some as well
