Track 093//Length: 4:14//Style: Cinematic//Speed: 90 BPM//Measures: 96//Loops: 16//Time Taken: 11 days


This is another track for an independent project. This one is a lot slower, and a lot more dramatic. It's supposed to be for cutscenes, or for very dramatic moments.


I set it up so that every round gets more and more intense, as if you're heading closer towards some sort of goal. I used a lot of orchestral instruments, as well as a few of my own created synths. I wanted something that sounded sorta futuristic in the background. I think I nailed it, that instrument from the beginning was EXACTLY what I was looking for.


I really wanted to avoid using snares as much as possible. So instead, I used all sorts of percussive instruments. I also played around with the pan shifting on them to even out some of the cluster. I used a LOT of percussion. It is different for me, but I like it. The hardest part of the whole song was adding effects and adjusting volumes. I spent some extra time during the editing process to make sure everything was nice and smooth, not to loud, not too soft, every part right where it needs to be. I did a lot of experimenting with MIDI effects to make sure I could find the best sound possible. I learned the real importance of "phasing" and how to use it in the right spot.


I gave it my all! I hope you all like it! All honesty is greatly appreciated. Feel free to vote, review, and share alike, and as always, download is free! Thank you all so much!

Amazing work, everything in its place as a solo while instrumental holds the tone, congrats maestro!

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

Many thanks! This one was real fun to do especially since I wanted to keep a theme while dramatically building it up with other sequences here and there. Really means a lot that you enjoyed it!

Awesome. I like how it got more dramatic as it progressed. Well done.

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

Thank you! That's exactly what i wanted

I absolutely love this. This is one of those songs which I wouldn't personally listen to, but its just so good it deserves a favourite. It's simple, but it sounds great. I love the melody of that arp that repeats a lot of the song. Despite the bassline changing very little I find the other changes in instruments used and panning keep me interested. Great work.

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

That means a lot. I truly appreciate that. I tried really hard to keep the panning just as I wanted it and not all over the place. I probably could have added a little more to the bassline. You're definitely not the first person to say this either, and listening back on it I can see why. Diversity is something I will definitely keep an eye on in the future. Thank you so much for the honest review

This is really good with the tension and being dramatic, but i suggest you change the bass a little bit as it basically repeats itself in the whole song.

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

A good note indeed, and I thank you for the review. I'll definitely keep an eye on sequence diversity In the future.
