First post

Hi, I'm new. I'm currently composing a soundtrack for a video game in early development, and I've started a new composition and completed the rough draft for the climax of the song. If there are any suggestions of anything I should tweak, I'd gladly hear it.

I plan to add some sort of percussion

It's difficult to evaluate without some other passages for contrast, but it sounds really fast and exciting! I like the use of the arpeggiated strings against the brass chorale—very effective and full of drama! Looking forward to hearing the rest of it!

Thanks, I decided to add a transition at the end of the mid part so it can go into a more calm, traditional setting. I also added drums to build hype a bit.

Is the transition too sharp? I want to make sure it isn't rough to listeners

(Deleted file, apparently the sound messed up. It'll be back in a bit)

Apparently converting the wav file into mp3 is what's messing up the sound, I'll need to find a way around this

This is the best I could get without much static. Here:

Third Version. I wonder if the build up is okay? Feedback is most welcome

sounds epic, what strings were you using?

EWQL's Hollywood Strings Diamond if talking about orchestra, and EWQL's Silk if talking about the Chinese instrument.

(Note: Converting WAV to MP3 makes the music sound bad but it's the only way I can actually post here.)

Hey how's the divisi on the Hollywood version? I'm stuck with Symphonic at the moment, but was looking into getting Hollywood later on.

I never actually used the divisi versions of the instruments so I wouldn't know.

Do you run a lot of EW libraries?

I always use Hollywood Strings, Hollywood Brass, Hollywood Percussion, and most times Stromdrum 3 for the 'Lord of Toms' instrument. Recently I've also been using Silk for my current composition.

I love the Lot ensemble, I need to learn how to layer and eq them though. 

Finally found out how to fix the audio and also gave the song an unfinished beginning. There will be a better transition from beginning to middle, don't worry.
