One more dystopian Christmas cue
Hi all! I really appreciated all the feedback I received on my last dystopian Christmas cue. Here's one more that I composed for this listing. I realize the submission deadline is tomorrow, but if anyone has any feedback, I'm all ears! Thanks for taking the time to listen!
Note: not a final mix!

Re: One more dystopian Christmas cue
Lovely arrangement, Brent! It has a really good feel to it!
I wondered about the wind effect in the first segment... I wasn't sure if you meant it for a windy background, or if it was some kind of sound problem. If you removed that and maybe substituted a little echo-y effect... Just a thought. I'll wait to see what more experienced ears have to say! (Wind could work in some scenes, but it might limit the usage.)
What vocal VST are you using? I thought the choir sounded very realistic!
Best wishes,
Merry

If Tom Waits were to do a Christmas carol, this would be it! I'm not sure you need the pink noise/wind in the first section.
edit: I see that Merry mentioned the wind noise. IMHO the plaintive piano is fine on its own.

Thanks for the great input, Merry. That's a good point about the wind. I didn't consider how it might affect the usability.Merryband1 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 2:23 pmLovely arrangement, Brent! It has a really good feel to it!

The voices are from the Olympus Micro Choir from Soundiron. I was concerned about that, so I'm glad you think it sounds okay.
Thanks again!

Since watching so much TAXI TV, usability is one of the main things I think about these days! I made some interesting mistakes in my drone cue that kept it from being forwarded, and some of the sounds I put in probably contributed to that!
Cheers, and I hope you get it mixed in time to submit!

Definitely remove the wind effect, because that totally limits the possible uses of your tune. I once had a return because I added the mechanism sound of a music box, and the comment was that music editors will add that sort of noises and stuff themselves. Other than that, great tune!
