    Hello Pcode!

    What were you experimenting with in this project? New instruments-Plugins?

    My attention went immediately to the sound quality-Real good on my end. 

    As a song its not really something I gravitate towards-a bit too mechanical sounding. Needs more swing, ebbs and flows. Emotionally dry. 

    Nevertheless all the elements fit together in a direction. The video was interesting too, but I agree with Tim Smith on this issue-music doesn't connect to the theme in my mind.

    Putting aside all my personal tastes, its still has its charms. :)

    I agree, I am not a big electronic music fan, I like the symphonic stuff, just wanted to do something different and use my native instrument synthesizers...

    I am not connecting to the magic theme, but I thought the track was nice.

    The main instrument became a little repetitive to me after awhile. Good mix and arrangement.

    Thanks for sharing!

    I agree, magic is not the right theme for this, melodic EDM is more like it. I just needed something for Youtube, plus I wanted to use my filmora video library LOL! I got for upgrading to Filmora 12.

    Sounds OK here on my Adam's A7x's, how low is the sub Bass? 

    I have added it to my YouTube Watch later list,  so a little later I will try it on my home Hi Fi system has a Bowers & Wilkins 10" Sub Woofer.  Then I will get back to you.

    it's low, between 60Hz down to 20Hz...

    as always thanks for listening, were you able to hear the sub bass?  Video is slightly out of sync with the music, I did not spend too much time editing the video, my focus is always on the music.

    Nice work!  I'm not familiar with the show, I would have thought this was the original score.

    Thanks for listening Michael, I am glad you liked it.... yeah certainly not the original track lol

      I Always Love your violin work , and this one Really shows your talent. That being said ..  the drum track is what really grabbed me . It was "perfect" for this kind of production. The only thing missing was surround sound.     Enjoyed it ..

    mark

    Same.......... I love viola, cello, and bass in their true element, so soothing.... thanks for listening.

    Thanks you, I used "CREMONA QUARTET" by native instruments. they have some really good stuff, very realistic sounding.   $400 is what I paid for it, if I remember correctly.

    Pretty synthy sounding but there's always a good old strings pad in there, which I guess would have been the Emulator back then. I like the "wah wah-y" synth.  Good job!.

    Yeah, back in the day,  it was all synthesizers,  samplers were kind of rare... thanks for listening Bjorn.

     Extremely smooth and that was quite a trippy video. Seems like you couldn't take your eyes away from it. I thought the talking like synth was Very cool.  I did miss not hearing your signature violin parts.    Love it  ...   mark

    Thanks for listening mark  :) this was a cover of an old PSB song from 80s/90s they use to work with Emulator + by EMU (with very advance floppy drive LOL!) I was a little kid back then, and was fascinated by the technology, that was all synth era, so I tried to use, more synth sounds, vs sampled violins. however I love violins.

    I think it was the tempo seemed slow for for parts with so much action.  The 1st shot with the lady was great, the music was perfect.  But, I hear the same music when a bomb goes off, and when a mega title wave is coming in with vary little variation.  The music's emphasizing beat (usually beat 1) should match screen changes .  Also the tension seemed almost the same all the way through.  The music was really great. Very good theme but could use more variation for different scenes. I could never write something like this!  "utter devastation at a planetary scale" No not like that!!! 🙂 Hope this helps.

    I see your point Max, yes the video is not perfectly synchronized, at every scene, but to me, the tempo seemed right for the emotion.  but point taken.

    Yes, good dramatic soundtrack. Sounds very nice.

    @kurt soderquist Thanks for the feedback  

     

     

    Wow 2 very different viewpoints,

    JMO: (1) the semantic content of the various scenes within the trailer and the affective content of the score segments support each other to a high degree and (2a) you hit inflection points very well and (2b) the use of musical changes (including pauses) are used very effectively to underscore the drama of the spliced scenes.

    Not sure what kind of feedback you are looking for, but maybe these casual impressions will help.  There is much in academic and popular literature related to music as a medium of communication from a multitude of perspectives. 

    @User 905133 you probably perceive things like I do, at least musically speaking, you get the emotionality aspect, appreciate your feedback.

    I think the emotion of the music did not match the emotion scenes. The video was why more energetic than the music.  The music was good and would work great with different video content.

     

    @Max Arwood, the idea was to underscore the “emotionality of the events”, which in this case is utter devastation at a planetary scale , convey sadness and grandeur at the same time. I see that did not resonate with your emotions,   I appreciate your feedback.
