to be a Bossfight song. (preview)

Any tips or suggestions?

Make it more chaotic. You are not Bach. Maybe listen to some of my works that were supposed to be fighting song for a game. I am going to put them on here later.

Depending on the type of boss or fight sequence, there are many approaches.
Regardless of the fighting scale, I think you already have plenty of knowledge to make this closer to the epics we love in video game soundtracks.

1. Percussion! If you were to add a driving pulse with a bass drum, timpani, or taiko drum, it would add a sense of pulse and "epicness" behind the music. It can match or "dance" with the rhythm the guitar is doing.
2. Add BASS! You have a pulsing gesture that is driving forward, but giving us some bass guitar or keyboard would help warm everything up. Up to you if the bass sustains or is separated like the melody.

Thinking as a composer, you can be strategic by design. If the "melody" is fast, driving and energetic, then maybe pair the accompaniment as long sustains or longer pulses versus the same quick notes in the 8-bit. Maybe alternate the melody to be long note sustains and have the percussion and bass be driving instead.

It will help give direction in the fight. 

ok I guess I'll work on this song. reccomend any plugins or soundfonts? 

ok, I worked on it and gave it a MUCH needed improvement. this is what is it looks like right now.

I honestly don't know what to do next, and I'm curious what you guys think, or if I should add any new instruments for either The next part or the part I have right now. to note, I also want it to be ~3 - 4 minutes long.

This song actually came to me about 3 years ago, before I even knew what a "sharp" was, and before I started composing music. I Don't know how I still remember it. back then I thought of a lot of melodies in my head when I was bored and learned them on my Piano; now, I mostly play piano and if I play something I like, I continue it with my software, FL studio.

I got really confused when I realized in the old one, after the intro it changed to C# and I thought the intro was D# so I changed the chorus to that, but apparently it was A# anyway. small mistake, big difference.

anyway, here's how the progress is going. take a listen.

WOW! What an improvement! It is night and day. I have no comments on the music as again, I do not know much on what is meant to accompany, but it definitely conveys something dire or thrilling. 

As a point of enjoyment, I must say there feels like too much distortion in the file. Just about 30 seconds worth of a blurriness that is very overwhelming compared to the literal music. For me, it took my attention away... especially with headphones 😓
