Nice to meet you! Here is my page:

https://soundcloud.com/josh-barron

Hellz yea! Nice stuff! Thanks for posting. Yea i am an amateur too.
My Sound Cloud is here: https://soundcloud.com/jayoh-1

I don’t really pay attention to it anymore, but here’s my soundcloud:
https://soundcloud.com/lucied

Sweet, you are now part of the collective!

What programs do you guys use for your music?

I use a combination of Sonar 7 Producer, EastWest Quantum Leap libraries, and for concert works I use Sibelius 4.

I thought I heard some Quantum Leap sounds from your music, JBarron2005. I gotta buy me some of EastWest’s stuff. I just use FL Studio and some soundfonts.

East West has some very potent libraries. The strings sound very full and you can easily get a "big-movie" type of feel to your music. Where it’s a bit lacking is in the woodwind department, especially the english horn. Beautiful instrument, Morricone used it a lot in his western scores, but with East West it sounds relatively cheap somehow and you need to add a lot of effects to make it sound good. Vienna Symphonic is very good in terms of woodwinds on the other hand. But they are very expensive.

Vienna Symphonic is very good in terms of woodwinds on the other hand. But they are very expensive.

I never heard of Vienna Symphonic before, but dayum. Dat price.

For EastWest, since they’re having a sale, I was considering getting these:
Goliath
Gypsy
Ministry of Rock
Pianos Gold
Silk
Symphonic Choirs
Symphonic Orchestra Gold
Voices of Passion

I would suggest Orchestra Gold and Stormdrums 2 if you are interested in making symphonic sounds. Goliath is great for smaller mixed ensembles and is basically a sampler of orchestra, jazz, rock, electronic, piano, and percussion. Silk and Gypsy are really awesome and probably will be my next two purchases from them. I’m luke warm on Voices of Passion, if I were you I wouldn’t get that one. I have it and I am not satisfied with it.

Thanks a lot for the insight, JBarron, but what dissatisfies you about Voices of Passion?

I am using Reason for the most part, but i am pretty short on good symphonic sound fonts. I think i’ve found some good strings, but i really want horns, awesome deep inception horns. I also use Adobe Sound booth and Audacity to cut up stuff when im done. Aside from FL studio, i actually don’t know much about what’s out there. I started by asking around if there was an adobe photoshop equivalent to music programs, and i was told Reason. Now i have to look up what you guys are talking about : P

Thanks a lot for the insight, JBarron, but what dissatisfies you about Voices of Passion?

The voices just sound weird and synthesized. Some of them are good, but for the price it doesn’t meet my expectations. If you are going to get good vocal quality, I would go with Symphonic Choirs. That, imo, would be the best investment for you can actually have the samples do lyrics using a Word Bank.

I’ll take your word for it. Thanks, JBarron.

I haven’t been able to find decent sounding horns either. I just stay away from writing brass parts for the most part. I myself don’t really use much besides MidiNotate, FL Studio, and WavePad.

Do you guys know any good repositories for free sound fonts?

freesounds.org is usually a good place to start. you need to register, but it’s free.

I compose, but never thought to mention it on here. Perhaps I just felt a bit pretentious introducing myself as a composer on a forum with all this great music.

Anyway, I wouldn’t call myself a music pro, but I’ve scored a few indie features and have credits on IMDb.
Nothing spectacular, but feel free to take a listen.

DanHallUK: Sweet stuff, listening now, very relaxing! I added you up top! Congrats on getting some stuff out there!

Nice topic (full of nice tracks)! I’m glad there are quite a few composers on this forum. 🙂
Mine is: https://soundcloud.com/karelantonin or Karel Antonin.com – MUSIC COMPOSER (http://www.karelantonin.com)

Prott2, Wow your stuff is pretty epic! I added you up top!

I will be working on a new album soon as I am currently wrapping up my first full length game score "Critter Caper". The game doesn’t include all the music so I am working on a full release with the official tracks along with special mixes and previously unreleased material. I plan to make it available on Itunes as well as Bandcamp.

Prott2, Wow your stuff is pretty epic! I added you up top!
Thank you! I’m trying my best. 🙂

Thank you for creating this thread.
I had already shared my compositions on another topic so here is the link: Thread 122539
Rapha�l D. Hardy (http://raphaeldhardy.bandcamp.com/) they are amateur compositions that can’t hold a candle to, for instance, Prott2’s but I am not with the intention of earning my living that way. It is just a pastime! I will give all of your projects a careful ear!

First, I must say you’ve got some pretty trippy album art going on there. I’m really enjoying your stuff, particularly "Looking at Them from the Top of the Hill". Such a cool feel to those songs, almost makes me think of Yann Tiersen’s style.

Great thread!

I’m a game composer. Here’s my SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/winifredphillips

East West has decent sounding horns. Check them out in my track "New Earth, New Life". I try to use a wide variety of instruments in it to demonstrate the capabilities of the sound fonts.

https://soundcloud.com/josh-barron/new-earth-new-life

Welcome to the thread, Winifred. I enjoyed your theme to Assassin’s Creed Liberation. It has a Survivor like sound to it :).

Never really got around to using Kontakt Libraries but it seems to be all the noise for quality sampled sounds. I should just pick it up.

Sounds great guys. What Speaks/Studio Monitors do you guys use if you don’t mind me asking

Thanks Galaga! I’m really glad you liked my stuff! Also, Galaga is a very cool name. 😀

Yea,… but that’s not actually my name…

Ha! More and more composers come here and say more than "stop pirating my music" ;D. That’s really cool.

So I’ll add mine links as well:

https://soundcloud.com/herbaciak – my standard orchestral works.

https://soundcloud.com/bob-the-bear – my second, a bit experimental face.

Always nice to hear other people’s music! Keep on the posting 🙂

updated! Sorry for the lateness, been a busy weekend. Can’t wait to check out your stuff!

Hey guys, nice thread. Some interesting stuff here.
So here is my link. Tried to make some game music.

https://soundcloud.com/musicentertainmentsystem

Welcome to the thread! That’s 9 composers, mwahahaha! I added you up top! Sweet stuff.

Thanks! And you got some good stuff on Soundcloud. Just enjoying some of your tracks.

Thanks Puhn! I played some of your songs too, they were pretty kicken!

Also, general question: Where do you guys go online if you want feedback on your music etc… I’m making a game, and getting ready to launch, i did the sound track, but it’ll be the first time i ever put anything musical out there in public. I don’t really have a trained ear or anything, so i wanna be sure the music isn’t a total mess. Any suggestions? Soundcloud doesn’t seem that useful for critique.

I would recommend you to ask some friends to ‘test’ your music or get in contact with other musicians via internet. Some honest and detailed feedback is always hopeful before you unleash a bunch of tracks to the public. 🙂

Also, general question: Where do you guys go online if you want feedback on your music etc…

Actually it’s hard to get feedback on the internet imo. People like to listen, to download music etc. but they are not very eager to say what they actually think expect for "cool" or "meh" or "love it". Comment’s like that are nice, it means that people care a bit, but those comments are not helpful when it comes to learning / developing new skills etc. Even on forums that actually are about music making, people are very limited in their opinions and most of them are about bad /good use of samples or poor / nice mastering. One out of ten have something more to say about composition.

So my point is, that You shouldn’t care about opinions, do what you do, share your creation with world and… wait ;).

p.s.
And I’m perfect example of person who listens to piece, then gives "like", say few words at best and… next;).

Those are good observations, its nice to know people will like your stuff, even if they don’t have much to say. I don’t care much for opinions, i want subjective analysis by people who know more than me, those are the only sort of comments i find useful : P I like feeling dumb, its the only way to learn.

I hear you. My thread in this forum has 697 views but only 3 replies :(. That in itself is frustrating, but unfortunately that is what I am dealt.

I feel ya guys. I know I have a lot of people that really like to listen to my music, but they just rarely tell me so unless they see me in person.

Good thread, I just signed up
and I will upload some demos of my stuff later 🙂

Welcome! Can’t wait to see your stuff!

I hope to have my first piano etude uploaded to my Soundcloud soon! It is half completed and I hope to get the other half done today… if I don’t fall asleep. I haven’t slept much since starting this lol.

I’ve put up a demo album of mine for sale, if anyone’s interested:

In my opinion it’s just… meh. You write that it’s "showcase of musical variety", yet I cannot hear any variety. Maybe it’ s just me though. I’m gonna add on the goodish side, that it has some kind of mood, and minimalistic, yet nice melodies. But for me it’s mostly boring and quite cheap. Don’t worry though, it’s "not my cup of tea" kind of music, so keep doing what you do;).

What baffles me more, is the fact, that you want money for that. As you say, it’s demo. And I see it that way: you are actually blocking an ability to hear your works, to people who might be interested in it. It’s a bit of a paradox, that you want to show your music and yet you are making it harder to hear. I don’t get that…

p.s.
That "Heartbeat" track is sooo bad, so cheesy with that cheap beat, sorry ;P.

Thanks for your criticism! I actually don’t get it that often. Yeah, it’s a paradox, but it’ll be fully streamable anyways. I guess here it would be different, since elsewhere I’ve advertised this, most people have heard my music via SoundCloud or live or are familiar with collaborations.

But damn, I honestly appreciate you ripped me a new one. Haha.

So far I’m liken La Petite the best. I really like the mood you get going in your stuffs.
Also the Luminosity track is pretty cool. Sci-Fi adventure platformer ahoy! Again, love the emotion.

Thanks Rudy! I remember I was really proud of it at the time. I wish something had come out of the game itself 😛

Galaga, your stuff sounds pretty sweet! I really like Sleeping Dragons, but perhaps you could try panning some of the instruments and messing with dynamics a bit more? At times it sounds overwhelming with all of the instruments dead-center–but in the places that does happen, it’s only for a short time. What’s the piece for, if I might ask?

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll keep that in mind when i do another pass. I have never really tried to mess with panning the stereo thing or whatever. I do know that some parts of that song are overpowering, and for me there are a couple of places where the melody is kinda wobbly. I’d like to get it more defined and clear.

Nearly all my music is related to game projects i am developing. This track in particular is for a game with sleeping dragons in it : D I’ll post online about the game when i make enough progress : P

Oh hey, this is a neat idea. I’ve been trying to produce some decent "game soundtrack" kinds of songs recently, and though I’m not around this forum all the time, I’ve been wondering if there was a thread like this.

Anyway, I have a Youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/EllyrythWindriver) for drafts, and a Bandcamp page (http://ellyrythwindriver.bandcamp.com/) for "finished" albums (might just be me, but sometimes I feel like the songs are never actually done, just published). Feel free to tear them apart if you like :b

does anyone know the max bitrate soundcloud can offer? youtube is like 200 aac kbps

Sorry for the late reply, still catching up from Comicon Madness…

AxemBlue: Nice stuff, i added you to the top! BOOYAAA

dsdsdsds: I have no idea.

Guys, out of all the music you’ve made, what do you think is your best track?
ALSO, i changed the title of this thread a little, as i want everyone here to appreciate it and encourage you guys.
edit: I guess i can’t actually change the thread title…. doh.

I thought I drop by to share something I have been working on for a couple of month now. A short concept album about Metroid 2 in which I use some of the existing themes from the game plus the other ones from the rest of the franchise and also add a couple of my own ideas.

Hey Galaga,

Dan.Hall’s sounds on SoundCloud – Hear the world?s sounds (http://soundcloud.com/danhalluk)

This is the new link to my music (now on soundcloud). Can you update my link in the first post?

I recently posted my ‘The Terminator’ theme cover track to Brad Fiedel’s personal FB page, and he commented. It wasn’t much, but I’m a huge fan of his work so I was very happy 😀

I’m also working on 2 films at present – one a short, and one its feature length successor. Both horror, both micro-budget, but I’m happy to be actively involved in something.
I’ll post some of this as soon as the music is done!

Any SC comments/likes would be massively appreciated 🙂

Oh my people are posting : P Sorry for being MIA, i’ve been working hard, i’ll get the thread updated today and check out what’s going on! Awesome stuff guys!

———- Post added at 12:07 PM ———- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ———-

Ok things are updated. Usually get email notifications if this thread is active, but i guess that didn’t happen.
Let’s see, new things for me:

https://soundcloud.com/jayoh-1/diddly
https://soundcloud.com/jayoh-1/on-a-roll-wip
https://soundcloud.com/jayoh-1/2b-chillin-draft – definite work in progress, i need feedback on this one

Chippery sounds great galaga!

In fact, they all do!

Keep up the good work 🙂

I’ve been more active on my SoundCloud lately.

Thought I would share this here… I arranged Time’s Scar from Chrono Cross for piano and the pianist is a very talented, Ruby Schala! There will be more performances of my work to come in the form of videos so keep your eyes peeled by subscribing to this lovely lady’s page :).

Chrono Cross – Time’s Scar (solo piano, arr. by Josh Barron) – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMk55O3tS_M)

Hey JBarron2005, I’m lovin’ that arrangement!

Any of you doing anything for Halloween? Come on! Come ooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!

Anything musical or just anything in general?

Musical, or this thread is useless.

Anything musical or just anything in general?

What do you mean? How do you compose…noises?

P.S. I am well aware being a shitty composer myself that my word on what music is probably isn’t the best out there.

Maybe he makes music like this:

Penderecki: Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp3BlFZWJNA)

Welcome to the thread Heifsin85, i added you to the front page.

Unrelated, a couple new things of mine:
https://soundcloud.com/jayoh-1/wanderer

And another i’m tuning up, it’s a remix of the main theme i did for another game:
http://soylentworks.com/aylogames/2bixriffb.mp3

Some new sounds and some redos of older stuffs:

https://soundcloud.com/mbfb/the-return-of-samus
the intro to my metroid 2 album. for a long time I have wanted to do a homage to Jerry Goldsmith’s ALIEN soundtrack, aaaaand finally that came to happen :D.

https://soundcloud.com/mbfb/samus-vs-the-queen-part-1
the theme for her majesty queen metroid is my own invention. it basically came to me after listening to a lot of Akira Ifukube, especially his 90s Godzilla music.

Hope you’ll enjoy it!

If you like The Walking Dead or Game of Thrones I did parody songs with the theme songs from each, BANGERS:

Cool stuff guys! Keep it coming!
Here’s something new i was messing with, trying to work on my transitions, shifting tempo, and this is probably the first song i made not in 4/4 time. Lawl…
http://soylentworks.com/aylogames/someKindofSong.mp3

Two new works in progress… The first is Eruyt Village from FFXII for piano and string quartet and it is simply waiting on the other string parts to be recorded. The second is a preview video of my next arrangement which is of Sulyya Springs from FFXIII for piano and cello.

Final Fantasy XII – Eruyt Village for piano + string quartet (arr. Josh Barron, incomplete) – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ETLbgC2F4g)

WORK IN PROGRESS – Final Fantasy XIII – Sulyya Springs for Piano and Cello (arr. by Josh Barron) – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5GNt2TNF2M)

Let me know what you all think of them. I love all feedback :).

That’s pretty rad. I’ve been starting to pick up the violin, but i am a total noob. Sounds great though.

Hey, I just finished my new piece and it’s… big. Almost 25 minutes, 4 parts, big orchestra and some not standard "guest" instruments such as uilleann pipes.

Great thread here, you guys all have huge talent, and I’m still in the process of enjoying all this music!

I’ll post my details:

delusional.bandcamp.com (http://delusional.bandcamp.com) – Contains released albums and soundtracks for published games.

soundcloud.com/echocore (http://soundcloud.com/echocore) – Contains my other odd compositions and things that didn’t make it into final products, or simply things I did for free/student projects.

Heck, why not, I’m trying to get a little exposure I guess. Composing actually isn’t my first love, I’m a far better graphics artist. I just tinker around with music, so I’m mostly terrible, though I’m trying to get a bit more serious about it, especially since a buddy of mine is getting back into programming. I just play around throwing notes together until I like what I hear. Creative accidents are fun, too.

https://soundcloud.com/thesabercode

I’m heavily influenced by the Rockman X soundtrack (one of my absolute favorites) and the likes of Saitama Saisyu Heiki.

I’m actually working on a full ‘soundtrack’ to this idea of a shooter I have named Sabercode. Yeah, kinda centered everything around the idea of it.

I do all my work in Renoise with various plugins and samples.

Hello 🙂 I’d like to contribute to the thread!
https://soundcloud.com/johny-scigulinsky

www.facebook.com/joshbarronmusic

New site for all updates concerning my projects and events! New release is coming in the form of a single and it is Sulyya Springs for Piano and Viola. ETHEReal String Project will be due for release in quarter one of 2015 as originally planned.

Oh man i haven’t checked in on this thread in a while. I should update it (edit: I updated the thread).

I put a couple new things on my soundcloud:

Super intense track inspired by Interstellar: https://soundcloud.com/jayoh-1/rage-against-the-dark
Some super electronic track inspired by Disney’s Electrical Parade: https://soundcloud.com/jayoh-1/electric-ticker-tape

Here is my latest release in the form of Sulyya Springs by Masashi Hamauzu, arranged by yours truly. I tried to expand and re-imagine the piano collection arrangement of this one. My goals with this were 1) to create something more lush and water-like as well as 2) adding a section from the original that I simply adored and 3) making this piece work for two instruments. Lastly, but probably the most important thing is that I added a theme from the game in to create a story presentation. All of my arrangements have musical easter eggs to encourage people to listen closely. Each egg is relevant to the story of the composition. I won’t spoil it, but it will be obvious for those who love FF13’s music.

The musicians that I got to perform the arrangement are simply among the most talented people I have worked with so far. They have brought this music to life! I am honored to have them contribute their talents!

Without further ado, please enjoy!

I sometimes compose in my free time. My main problem is that I tend not to finish my original songs because I get to a point when I have enough of it and just trash it or save it and never open it again. I have no musical background. I started composing and it kind of came to me that I might be “good” at it. Well, not good but better than most of people who never picked up an instrument. One thing led to another and I started playing guitar, piano and now I started playing violin. 😀 Anyway, here’s my soundcloud account, I might put someting up in the future and I would love to get feedback 🙂

I just put out a song and I want to brag about it because I love it, sooo… yeah 😀

Meh. I’ve been tinkering with all my tracks to some degree, not having a whole lot of time from work. I keep hitting one pretty heavy, though. It’s nearly finished, but I gotta mess with some articulations, clean up some junk (like not cutting off the square at the end), some other fine tuning, and work on the mixing.

Sounds pretty nice. I think you captured that sensation quite well.

I sometimes compose in my free time. My main problem is that I tend not to finish my original songs because I get to a point when I have enough of it and just trash it or save it and never open it again. I have no musical background.

This pretty much is me to a T. LOL

My game music arrange album is finally out :). I am hoping to gain still more support for it so please pick up a copy if you would be so kind and spread the word. Did I mention free whiskey? 😛

https://soundcloud.com/josh-barron/sets/remastered-game-music

I have uploaded new works (compositions, arrangements, and remasterings). Chiefly among them is Antipyretic from Final Fantasy Tactics and Main Theme from Parasite Eve. On my regular profile I have Schala’s Theme for Orchestra as well as some new compositions.

Hello everybody. I guess you could call me an amateur composer, but I haven’t really got anything to show for it besides for a Metroid arrangement.
You can find it on my Bandcamp page (link is in my signature) and I stuck my own cue in it somewhere (see if you can spot it). I have composed original music-
but it is on my hard dive… which is close to failing… so heres to me recovering certain data, files, and music I won’t be able to get back if it goes through.

My latest release is in the form of a Sci-Fi game score called TITAN ONE. Unfortunately, it will not see a release but the music can still be handed out :).

Hello everyone, I compose cinematic music for films and games. Nice to meet you all! 🙂

Another track I’ve been working on, all I got so far. Might be a rough cut since I’m probably going to change a few things regarding an instrument or two, maybe tinker with the drums as well.

Here’s my SoundCloud. I’ve only ever covered stuff and as you go through you can hear how I’ve evolved since my earliest stuff is put together in a very basic manner.

Here is a character theme I am working on. It is a rough draft but it has a very Hamauzu sound to it.

Also I uploaded my orchestration of Find Your Way from Final Fantasy VIII which is from Loudr’s album SUCCESSOR: Final Fantasy VIII Remixed.

Hi guys,

So I picked up another film project. Less than a day into scoring and my hard drive is TOAST! 0_0 Such bad luck. Anyway I’m upgrading to some SSDs and I’ll be scoring next week.

This is my ‘artist’ page on Facebook: www.facebook.com/DHComposer (http://www.facebook.com/DHComposer)

There are links to my Soundcloud and samples from there.

Obviously not fishing for likes but support is appreciated. I’ll have a ganders through this thread and check out samples and the like since I last visited 🙂

Here is one of my arrangements from my next production called The Travelers. What is the Travelers? In short, it is a team of arrangers and musicians that I have personally selected. The story is more than that, however. Imagine yourself in a traveling group of musicians playing folk music in taverns and pubs in Europe. You travel the various countries in Europe from Ireland, England, France, Spain, and even Scandinavian countries. You play a different set depending on where your group may perform but you might also create new stylings by combining regional sounds. This album covers music from a variety of styles of European folk music and we have chosen to arrange music from Japanese RPG’s. Everything is 100% performed by musicians and all of it has a organic sound to it. The track above is my arrangement of Dissipating Sorrow (or Endless Sorrow depending on the translation from Final Fantasy IX. This is very much a beta version and the final recording will have more instruments in the mix. But this gives you an idea of the feel for this album. Hope you enjoy and look for the album this Summer!

I have a new official website now… https://joshbarronmusic.wordpress.com/

Fog in the Morning is beautiful. The first thing I thought of when I heard the track was "Halo 3: ODST".

Why? Probably because a lot of that game’s music was piano driven, and I think this song shares the same first couple notes as one of the songs from ODST.

Hey galaga, thanks a lot for your efforts. I am a hobby composer myself. I hope you’ll enjoy my music. Of course, all of the tracks are offered as free downloads. 🙂

Here be I, aspiring composer hopefully one day for tv, video games and even films: https://soundcloud.com/chris-j-estabrook

Hello, everybody. Now is the time I’ve decided to ‘arise from the shadows’ and finally share some of my music – which is in some measure, halfway decent.

I don’t have much experience, and have only really been trying (inconstantly, on and off) for about less than a year. As a result, I don’t have too much to show for it! :p But, what can help, is that I get inspired rather easily, or, in other words, sometimes when I’m listening to a track or cue I really enjoy, I’ll want to compose something similar to it, or on occasion, whatever I compose will reflect the mindset or musical mood that track put me in.

That doesn’t mean it always will prevail in making what results from every one of those instances – good music, however, with more (and consistent) practice you can improve the abundance of good music that comes from those experiences. 🙂

What I do have to show to you, is 11 demos/unfinished works of mine, which are sorted from least to most recent. Not much I feel like I want to say about them, at least for right now. :p But my sincere thank you to whomever takes the time out of their day or night to listen to these, let alone read what I have to say. 🙂

EDIT: Please excuse any imperfections in timing or otherwise. :p

Haven’t been able to finish any of my tracks yet, but I’m glad I haven’t either since I’ve taken a lot of time working on getting stuff sounding half decent.

Still tweaking various parts, the mixing, and mastering.

I’ve also got a handful of side projects in addition to (the Silent Hill’ish ambient I make on) Otherworld Escape.

I made an old thread linking mine about 7 years ago (this is my first time back in 5 years) so here’s mine:

https://soundcloud.com/idx-rider

Almost everything here is not finished. There are some that are but the majority of them I haven’t uploaded anywhere. It’s also still being used so you’ll find things from when I started it around, I believe, 2010.

Well, here is an updated and reworked version of a song I already shared here: https://soundcloud.com/lyedecker/diminished-space-2-9-29-2017

I would describe my sound as a mix of influences from John Carpenter, Vangelis and John Barry, with influences from more contemporary hip hop and electronic thrown in for good measure.

and here is the "official" video I made using clips from Star Trek The Motion Picture. Bear in mind I’m very much a novice at film editing:

Congrats to all composing-efforts, quite a few interesting Works! My musical collages incorporat4 some ost music as well. Making my own music has been put into hyper-sleep mode for years. Due to soundcloud limit and issues (I cannot edit my signature) the link will lead to no track (exceeded the Free limit on sc). Have a listen! sc com/variant_t

Put together a new PC. Working on transfering all my audio stuff over and hoping the additional resources will allow me some more freedoms. I’ll be finding out soon enough.

I’m not sure that this thread is current anymore…but here is my soundcloud, and a few tracks people might like. 🙂
