Starise 873 Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Well the title probably raised more questions than answers. This is an orchestral piece I'm working on. I think there's something odd going on with SC. I don't pay anyone for exposure, but it appears one of those promo sites latched onto me? I really don't know. Ugh I need to change that grainy pic I loaded. 1st version on a private track. https://soundcloud.com/starise/thy-kingdom-come-1st-version Edited January 10, 2019 by Starise 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Sprouse 403 Posted January 7, 2019 Beautiful! You write a familiar style but always have unique ideas regarding it. You really can create magical moods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wookiee 929 Posted January 7, 2019 Nice piece Tim, on the promo site report them to Soundcloud admin, they are not happy with some of these sites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjornpdx 618 Posted January 8, 2019 Tim Yes, beautiful music for sure. Orchestration seems daunting to me, but you did a great job on that. Not sure if it even applies to classical music, but it seemed like I wasn't hearing enough low end in the song? I report spammers on Sound Cloud all the time. It's getting ridiculous.

Will 75 Posted January 8, 2019 Nice piece. I'd like to hear it on solo piano. I would put some more thought into the name though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amicus717 309 Posted January 9, 2019 Some very nice ideas in this one. Be interesting to hear where you go with it. What library is that recorder/ethnic flute sound from? I like it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starise 873 Posted January 10, 2019 @David Sprouse, Thank you! @ SPAK much appreciated! @Wookie, I'm not exactly sure what happened. The one site I suspect I can't prove they did anything. On SC to gain plays someone has to play the track. I have been solicited by them before.Those sites somehow give listeners a benefit to listen to your track and charge you to use the service. If it is some kind of a promotional thing, I was never informed of it which makes no sense, since they would want to take credit for it. None of this ever made any sense to me because A. There is no monetary gain in any of it. B. Promotional exposure is just more people on SC listening. None of them are paying customers.They just click play. C. Why would I pay someone to promote me in a place where promotion doesn't matter, or put another way, why would I want plays from people who are only playing the track because they work for a promotional service? I guess I fail to see any relevancy to any of it. Maybe I'm missing something. bjorn, thank you! I made two versions of this. This one is more aggressive and might have more bottom end. Which would you keep? https://soundcloud.com/starise/thy-kingdom-come-1st-version @Will Hacket- Thanks for your suggestions. @Amicus 717, Thanks. That sound came from a precision sound library. The rest was mostly Amadeus. @ZincT, Thank you! It's just a bunch of kontakt libraries and me playing them. @The Galtieriebrothers, Thank you for listening.

emeraldsoul 1,139 Posted February 10, 2019 this is primo for the right movie. Very enjoyable journey. What is your brass patch? Occasionally the trombones hit a little to hard (for me) and you get a stab where you might want a swell? Early on in the piece, particularly. Easy to edit that down with midi velocity. Beyond that, I feel this is a real "composition" that tells a story. cheers, -Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnbee58 229 Posted February 12, 2019 Nice arrangement. I could hear a full orchestra play this for sure. I take note that on your pic you have a violin on your shoulder. Is that your main instrument? Do you have a bit of that in this production? 😀John B. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteenE 16 Posted February 12, 2019 Great track. Orchestra sounds a bit harch some times, but that's probable just me. I can never get mine smooth enough. Is the strings from Amadeus ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starise 873 Posted February 13, 2019 Beagle Tom and John. Thanks so much for commenting. Yes I haven't had time to work that midi automation yet. Thank you for re affirming that. @soundregionThe strings are Amadeus. I might have thrown a few Soundiron strings in there too. I honestly forget TBH. Thanks for your comments.
