This is my 2nd entry to the "Elixir of immortality" collection. This time tried to create something more ambient.


It is my first real attempt to ambient style. I understood that since the surprisingly long Dubstep run I had last year (15 dubstep tracks in a row) I decided to finally take myself to newer directions. Thus i proceeded to my 2nd most favourable genre, at least when it comes to composing. I also tried to step up my mixing and i hope that the results can be heard. All-in-all i really enjoyed working on this. Was fun to finally have some more variety to my experience.


I hope you enjoy :)


(UPDATE 25/07/2019) Updated the audio file. Should sound cleaner now :)

Hmm, not bad - a little too slow for me if just listened on its own, but I can definitely see this as the background soundtrack to a sci-fi or cyberpunk platformer game. The ambient sound effects really give it that game OST feel to it.

The general ambience of the music is good, and I think that's kind of the main draw of this piece. That's why I think the snare is at times a little bit too heavy, especially starting from 0:48 and ending at 2:00, which kinda detracts from the ambience of the music. I think if you made the snares a bit lighter and more immersive (I recommend applying the stereo enhancer since you're using FL Studio) then you'd be able to hit the ambience dead on.

A little bit more improvement on the sound mixing and maybe using some higher quality samples for the ambient sound effects you're well on your way to getting 5 stars - keep working at it!

Thanks.

I had an idea to make a track representing the water and thus i tried to capture the 3 states in which it is most commonly experienced.

I also tried to up my mixing game a bit. If you`d do a comparison you might (or might not) see it. But im more than happy to hear that there is room for improvement.

There were mixed opinions on the snare. Some said that i should turn it down, but others suggested not to be shy and go for it. I tried to find the middle road and added a bit more low-pass than before but still kept its punch.

Thanks for the review :)
