Awesome. I like this version a lot more. In the original, I kind of thought that the lead melody was a bit harsh and stood out too much, but in this version it sounds great and it all fits together perfectly. Great job!

Hey man, this is really good, probably my favorite song I've heard from you so far. It's great that you can channel your negative emotions into creating something that is beautiful and creative. I enjoyed this very much, and I hope things don't get you down too much!

Nah im good, life is life you cant change it only live it. I find when my emotions are highest is when my creativity peaks. Thank you for the review and i hope to make more life this soon.

Dude, this song is awesome! Epic and emotionally stirring. Great job!

One question though: You don't do the mastering on your own songs? I'm new to music production (I use GarageBand), and I was just wondering what was your actual workflow for creating a song like this? Is it all VST's or do you have actual live recordings of instruments? Thanks!

nmarnson responds:

Thanks!

Regarding mastering, no i dont do it. I really just don't how. I just know that when i send it to this guy, he does things that i dont know how to do, and it sounds way better. I'll hopefully learn as time goes on.

As for instruments, everything is samples, East West to be specific. Hollywood Strings, HLWD Brass, stormdrum 2, symphonic orchestra. I definitely hope to get more adept at adding real recordings as i get better, especially for solo instruments, like that cello in the begining.

Sounds really good so far. :)

Acidicfriend responds:

thank you :D

Cool! But dude, how can you forget that you know how to play guitar? Your life must be really crazy and busy for something like that to happen!

Barzoom responds:

Haha, it's an exaggeration really. I just haven't been seriously playing it for a couple of years now. :P

I like this song, but it just seems to me like it's missing something to make it a complete song. I would like to have heard a bass line as well as more prominent drums come in to give the song more energy. There are many areas in this song where it feels like it is about to build up to something, but then it never really does. So I give you 3 stars for now because it feels to me like the song is incomplete, but I think you are off to a good start. But then, a lot of my songs on NG are not completely finished either...

Sounds nice and smooth. I'm really new to music creation, but to me this sounds pretty professional. I like how the synths ease in and out, giving the whole song a nice flowing texture. It does feel just a bit repetitive to me, but I know that is usually a common quality in electronic ambient/house songs, so that's not necessarily bad.

If you make songs in the future that are near this level of quality, I would say that you definitely deserve to be scouted, and I have a feeling you will. Good job!

Alph4TG responds:

Thanks a bunch, man! More tracks are definitely in the making! As for the "professional" bit, allow me to give you some advice: know what every little knob 'n dial does to your sounds. It really helps to actually know what you're doing to your sound to make improvements. Good luck in music making, man! It's a really fun hobby :-)

Cool. The melody sounds strangely familiar to me for some reason. Is this an original?

ChaotixMachine responds:

Yeap.

It's got lots of personality, I like it. And short songs are really good for web-based games because they don't take up a lot of memory, so more memory can be used on the actual game itself. Good job.

Genraltweet responds:

You're perfectly right! :D

Dude, this is awesome! Please keep making more songs like this. This kind of sound would be perfect for my games. Thanks for uploading, and I definitely will check out your songs from now on. :D

MadMath responds:

Hey man, thanks a bunch ! I had the chance to compose some music for videogames, but never to have a song selected by a programmer. I'll be very happy if this song was used in a videogame ;)
