hello! I was trying to make an overworld theme that uses both orchestral and electronic sounds. It is in 7/8 time

Sand and Snow

Yeah the real strings help on the mix because the initial synth sounds are very harshing, like too many square waves.

I just think you could use more orchestral sounds creating more clear melodies, because the minimalist background ambient is very suitable for that.

Also some bass sounds are needed, use Contrabasses if you have them.

The 7/8 isn't confusing but fluid, :thumbsup:

Thanks for the support, SYS. I do agree that the initial part is pretty harsh. The nature of my VSTi won't let me take off the arpeggio or make it quieter so it's pretty much residue there... I'll look for a contra bass that goes well with my strings! It is pretty difficult to make clear melodies in 7/8, but I see what you mean, and I'll work on that in my next works. I think I'm getting better at odd time signatures, and that's really fulfilling :)
