Fred's Gratis Scores Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) Very awesome, your orchestral mix is good and the tune is interesting all the way through. What piano library did you use? What I do to embed the SoundCloud here is: 1. Go to the track on SoundCloud. 2. Click the "Share" button under the track. 3. Copy the URL. 4. Paste it here, and give it a few seconds. The forum software will recognize it and automatically create the player. 5. Add any other text under the player. Graphics note: The player will use the middle portion of the cover graphics in the player, so you'll want to place any text like song title or other important/branding graphics in about the middle third. I had to experiment and re-upload to find the right positioning. When I got the text where I wanted it, I saved the graphics as a template (I'm using Gimp to create my cover graphics). Edited September 5, 2020 by Fred's Gratis Scores Added graphics info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, thank you for listening to my piece and for the SoundCloud embedding instructions I used two free piano libraries: - Soft Piano by Spitfire Audio Labs (https://labs.spitfireaudio.com/soft-piano) for soft, background parts - Piano One by SoundMagic (https://neovst.com/piano-one/) for solo, on top sounds I also recommend: - MonasteryGrand by MeldaProduction (https://www.meldaproduction.com/MonasteryGrand) Edited September 6, 2020 by Adam Matejko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Pleasant enough piece easy on the furry ears, thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Adam, that was very smooth and relaxing . I loved the emotion of the intro , I got a somewhat sad but very relaxed feeling there. The outro tied it all together. On 9/5/2020 at 3:44 PM, Adam Matejko said: I am not a professional I don't think I could tell the difference between this , and a composition by a paid professional. Very impressive .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your very nice and motivating words Everything in my music happens by accident (I have no music theory knowledge). I accidentally combined two separate themes and they fit together interestingly. I arranged the piano parts, then added the instruments layer by layer and I got the end result. It's simple but it took me two months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressive .. mark +1. When I first replied, I thought this was a professional piece. I've tried a couple piano/orchestra pieces myself, but I thought what you accomplished was much higher quality. I'd be curious to know more details about how you processed this (reverb used, compression if any, mixing, etc.). Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
