The Beast of Revelation

This music is basically based on the end of the world. Not really happy I know, but beautiful to some extent.

That's way too beat-driven to represent the end of the world. Also it sounds too much like a cheesy 80's synth sound to be depressing or beautiful. (just my 2cents)

Hmmm. Interesting. I like the "nuke the site from orbit" sample a lot, and the drums are very well programmed. I think the drums could use a little less reverb airiness on the snare tho, maybe separate them some and bring them more to the front, but there's obviously a lot of work done on sequencing them. Is the pattern yours, or a sampled loop? Nice cuts, regardless.

The later parts, with the big arpeggiated synthline - nice work on the filter sequencing! Good stereo imaging too - it would definitely benefit from a complementary bassline though, even if not an in-your-face one, just a repetitive one or two bar sub-bass beefing up the drums a little.

What are you using for softsynths?

It's a good idea to think about who your audience is before even laying down your first notes - your drum programming and synths makes me think you're aiming for video games. I'm liking it, but I'm definitely not getting an "end of the world" vibe from it. :)

What are you using for softsynths?

Basically i'm using Reason, NN-19 with a sample from my CS2x Synth. Then I program the melody line using either matrix or my brain.

yes I havent finished much of my latest album, i'm just letting people give me suggestions on what I need to do :smoke1:

oh yeah forgot to add

I DO NOT WANT TO MAKE VIDEO GAME MUSIC. I want my music to be played loud; rediculasly loud at concerts, people jumping, slamming, moshing, ENERGY!
