revision process advise

[boinkeee2000]

Glad I found this thread, same thing happened to me with two tracks on that listing. I guess the listing was packed

thats how the ball bounces, especially in ambient/tension briefs, where anyone with NI komplete or omnisphere could give it a shot. the good thing with taxi is, you get feedback, which helps you understand the biz better. cause out there you'd be lucky to get a reply back (if they even listen), let alone get advise from rejections.

hang in there, on the bright side, you now have 2 cues you could build upon. ime the barrier for entry to PMA libs is pretty high, just check out extreme music's catalog, and shoot for that bar!

For sure that is the attitude. I am not going that path again tho. Reading the forum is a must too

Yeah, it's all good. This was only my second attempt at submitting something in the ambient/drone realm and even though these tracks seem easy, it seems like the listings have more of a specific limit on what exactly is suitable-- and it's going to take me some time to figure out how to read these listings.

Here's the track I submitted:

I think this track would work great as a investigative tension cue, i would not take out the piano and wait for a tension listing. i liked it!

i'm not that keen on ambient either, i have a few in libs but it was a slippery slope. i realized its easy to get influenced by your last experience. i had to revise one for a lib cause i didnt do enough, and before that vice versa. its a tough balancing act for us writers cause we lean towards doing more than needed instinctively. and its easier to subtract than add. and libs would usually ask for a bed/reduced/narrative ver anyway, to a point where you just have a one finger drone left (which feels like cheating to me lol)

your on the right track ted, if you end up going the tension route, i would suggest building it up towards the end

Hey thanks! I'll be looking for other listings where I can submit the track as is-- and I'll take your advice and build the ending up a bit more too. I'll be checking the forwards blog so I can listen to all the tracks that got forward for this one.
