Action/Adventure/High Octane Instrumental

Post by devin » Mon Nov 10, 2008 3:42 pm

Got this one through....(may have to wait a sec while it downloads...sorry)."On The Line" - originally written for the CBC hockey anthem challenge...and refreshed for this listing. http://www.thepondstudio.ca/OTL24.mp3The mix was rated "just barely, dude", so back to the faders for me.But I've got the energy to stay up all night doing it now!!ACTION/ADVENTURE/HIGH OCTANE INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a UK-based Production Music Library for Film/TV placement opportunities. They need really high energy tracks (no vocals) for car chase scenes, sports highlights, high suspense action/thrill footage, etc. Current sounding styles would be the best choice here: Rock/Electronica/Hard Rock/etc. A blend of orchestral instrumentation with the mentioned stylistic approaches might also be a great direction to take. They'll be looking for tracks that don't sound overly synth generated - authentic, pulsing and exciting! Your track should be within 1:00-3:00 and they'll mostly want to hear mid to uptempo tracks. They offer non-exclusive, 50/50 deals. Broadcast quality needed (great sounding home recordings are OK). Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than October 10, 2008. TAXI # S081010IN

Hey Dev!Congrats dude! Sllliiiiide geetar!! I just got through experimentin' with that. I don't do so good with it, just yet. I hit too many other strings & stuff. Guess I gotta work on it. Hope ya' get the e-mail dude! That's a GOOD job! I didn't think the mix was "just barely". I can hear everything just fine.I-468

Thanks everyone!! I had been updating this one all along, so there's a chance I had already fixed what the screener was concerned about...I'm happy with the mix right now myself.Welcome back Mr. B! And yes, you've found me out on the EZD trip Many huge monster thanks to Big Blue Barry for keeping me working on the drums until they started sounding acceptable.Cheers all!
