Some feedback for EPIC, ORCHESTRAL TRAILER-Style INSTRUMENTALS.

Post by davidagates » Sat Jan 18, 2025 6:29 am

Hi guys,

I know it's nearly crunch time but I was wondering if someone could give this this once over.

It's for https://www.taxi.com/listings/S250118NL EPIC, ORCHESTRAL TRAILER-Style INSTRUMENTALS.

This is what I have at this point, going to add some more transistions and tidy it up over the next few hours, but just wanted somew feedback if possible.

Thanks,

Hey David!

I didn't have time to listen to your track before the deadline, but I like it a lot!

For this particular listing (which I've also submitted to), though, I fear your track may have too much of a hybrid sound with that prominent synth bass. There are some hybrid elements in the reference tracks too, but far less prominent. The other thing that stuck out to me: you don't have any brass at all. Given the references listed, I think they are looking for music that features the entire orchestra, not just strings.

Hi mate,

Annoyingly I didn't get this as a notification, the final product ended up with the elements you listed, which is weird.

It also got forwarded which is great news!

That's great news! Congratulations!

My submission was, sadly, returned because my mix wasn't loud enough apparently. :oops:
Still, happy to hear your track will hopefully soon grace an awesome movie trailer!

I'm sorry to hear that, it took me some time to get to the point I'm at now. TBF not loud enough isn't too bad feedback, just up the volume and wait for the next batch of requests, they often pop up!

You've got this!

Thanks! I’ll just keep on stumbling until I get it right.
