I really like the theme and the mood you have going on throughout the song. You should be proud of this track it is really cool! Mixing and mastering can be a bit tricky at times and it isn't easy, my crap is all over the place with no consistency but, I think this track was mixed and mastered just fine. It sounds great to me! Awesome Job!
I really like the track! It is a little upbeat then I like how it changes in the middle to a more relaxed vibe, it kinda gives me a little bit of an 80's type feel in that section. I think it might be the synth sounds, I love 80's sounds though lol. Great job Bob!
I am humbled by your very kind words and I am very happy to hear that you enjoy the music. I wish you the best of luck in making your game and would love to play it when it is done =)
I like both versions of the track but, out of them I like this one the best. The electronic sounds makes me envision a lost level from Sonic the Hedgehog with the music varying different tempos while he is bouncing all over the place. Cool song!
Really like this song Bogart! I like when the synth fades in and when the drums come in. Kind of has this 80's vibe/sound to me which is pretty cool! Great work!
Cool vid Amac! You had some great points on building chords using scales. Interesting views from both you and Spring. I don't know too much music theory myself. I probably know only 4 scales, major, minor, pentatonic, and harmonic minor. I know the basics of music theory and that is about it. I think it is up to the musician to determine how much or little music theory they need. I think those that don't know much music theory or "ear players" can write things that they hear in their head, either through trial and error of by doing it so much to the point that it is instinctive. They write it but, they don't understand "why" it works. On the other hand someone that knows a lot of music theory can write the same melody and understand the why behind the musical idea. They both got to the end result, just taking different paths.
Even more important than learning music theory I believe is knowing that chords, chord progressions, scales, and modes are tools that musicians can use in their music. The creativity is what makes the music in the end. What I mean is for example, the A minor scale is the same A minor scale used by Mozart, Beethoven, Jimi Hendrix, Kirk Hammet, me, you, and everyone else. The creativity in putting the notes together to convey some type of emotion for the listener is what seperates each musician apart from one another. You mentioned above Amac that it is important to know when to use these tools appropriately or the music will end up sounding like a wreck. Which I agree with 100%. Learn the concepts and learn when to use them or when not to use them depending on what you are trying to accomplish. I think every musician gets to the point when they feel a need to learn something new in music theory. That is usually when you are ready to take your writing to another level. Learn a new concept, use it in a few pieces, learn another one and continue to take small bites at a time. It is true what Spring also said you don't need to know any scales at all, some people have a great ear for music, and there are a ton of musicians like that. However, eventually when you notice some things sounding "samey" that is usually when you reach for a few chunks of music theory to expand your skills. This was a pretty great conversation!
Nice! Love folk style music! Great job!
