Thanks for any feedback

Good stuff. I had to skip through (it's getting late, here...), but I heard enough to be able to state that they are, indeed, 'Game Ready'. Nice themes, sober treatment, well executed, well mixed (yes, the fourth one could be re-mixed; you're right. Not much needed, though; no 'shockers' in there...).
You've obviously got the hang of the recording process for this type of composition; have you thought of 'mastering' the tracks..? "Why..?" I hear you ask... It's the process which gives a final spit and polish to a group of works designed to 'fit together'.Typically, these days, an album, so that the tracks don't 'jar' when played in sequence, and share the same sonic identity (unless one wishes, deliberately, to surprise the listener...). Imagine listening to an album, only to have one track louder than the others, or with a 1930's sonic scope. Not ideal, usually. I use AAMS, which is an automatic mastering programme; one chooses the 'genre' and the software runs the track through several passes, using compressors and filters very subtly to give the track a certain conformity. Just a thought; you may already have such software available to you.
It's always a Good Idea to compose oneself for a Game one is developing if at all possible; you've got the quality aspect spot on. Best of luck with it. Good stuff.

Wow thanks for the feedback AND the advice. I hadn't considered mastering my songs, but I'll definitely look into it along with the software you mentioned.

I'm not quite an expert of music composition here ;-; but I feel really obliged to say that your musics are nice XD you certainly know how to play with the buildup, and this might sound awkward from someone who never made music like me, but keep improving! That is all :P

NEW SONGS ON THE HORIZON:

I've composed a few tracks that I think are pretty unique. The first two both make me feel nostalgic, while the last few will just be good flavor music for my game in general.

It's a nice song that I made in a few hours a day or two ago. I liked it's laid back feel and soft synths so I decided to upload. Also, the name comes from a dojo me and a friend attended as kids. I doubt that's what the dojo was actually called, but it was something like that.


A nostalgic feeling song that reminds me of East Coast beaches. Take a listen; Maybe you'll agree.


I dunno why I called this one what I called it. Named after a VERY GOOD BIT from a comedy series on Polygon called Griffin's Amiibo Corner. I highly suggest you check it out for a few laughs. Especially if you're a fan of surreal humor.


A song for a character named Lil' in my game. She's a nice and independent kid who loves bein' a bit of a jerk and is quick with her wit.


This one's a little messy, but it was fun to make and I think it's pretty decent.



What do you think? I'd love feedback. I'm always trying to improve my musical ability!

You have the ability to create effective music.

Hot springs and Save the World are more like "sound" or "environment"-- Not very musical.

Space age is my favorite.

What program do you use to make these?

I use GarageBand mostly, and use LMMS when I dont have access to GB. I also use a LOT of custom instruments to keep things fresh. I like weird sounds and unique instruments. I'm currently looking to buy FL Studio, which is what I would recommend to someone who would be looking to get into producing music. GarageBand isn't bad either though.

I'm sure your music is great by the way!

Yeah Hot Springs was definitely sort of an ambient track. Save the World was kind of an experiment. Lots of weird sounds and formatting. Space Age is the title track for my game, so I'm glad you thought it was good.

Believe it or not I've written more music. They're all for my game. These tracks have more of a hip-hop feel inspired by some of my favorite artists.

This is probably my favorite of the bunch. It's a high octane song that I came up with while watching lucha libre. It's named after my favorite move, and is supposed to capture the feel of that sort of professional fighting style.


This was a strange track that I wrote for a character named Ride, who is a sort of bodyguard for a gang. He's a buff dude who likes violence and yelling. So it's fitting that his battle theme would have screaming and car crash noises. Like a real OG.


Turkey season is a cinematic sounding with some nice string sections and a wailing bass. It's a strange one, but it was made for a very specific point in my game, so it fits.

I'd like feedback, as always. The music for the demo of my game is nearly completed at this point (it includes a lot of tracks I haven't posted).

Well this'll probably my last post on this thread for a long while. I've got three more songs to share, all from my game apart from the last track. Music is done for the demo of my game, and I need to focus full-force on completing and releasing it. Been having some trouble getting motivated to do it, and being done making it's music will definitely help.

Here are the tracks:

This song was fun. Lots of bouncy synths that keep the listener engaged. I was a big fan of synth bells and brass specifically. Made for a VERY late part of the game, but I'm glad I got it out of the way.

My girlfriend named this track. She knows whats up. May end up submitting it as a resource, since I can't find a place to put it in my game. Maybe someone else can use it.

Made this track as a remake-of-sorts to a track I made two years ago for my then, and current, girlfriend. The previous one was called Anthem, while this one gets more to the point. It's not for my game but I always post in threes and I liked making this one a lot. May remake it again in a few years to see how I've grown musically. That'd be pretty rad if you ask me.

Feedback/Critique is ALWAYS appreciated.
