I'm not a huge fan of the string samples tbh. The drums were pretty good, and it loops well. It has a powerful sort of vibe that you encapsulated well with the thick texture and melodic progression here. However, ironically I think one of the reasons why it sounds like it has such a thick texture is because there's a bit of muddiness between the strings and brass samples. That said, I would love to see you expand on this sometime as I think triumphant melodies like this make for great cinematic content. Maybe the final product of this could be one of your rushed submissions at the end of 2016! ;D

Admittedly, this is another one of those short loops I put a fairly small amount of effort into. I don't have a problem with the string samples per se, but they could probably have been used better. The percussion sounds a bit like gunshots, but apparently it was effective, as so many people like this track! It also has a bit of an unusual atmosphere, compared to similarly built up pieces.
I don't think I want to go on another rush at the end of this year! I don't feel I need to reach the holy 52 tracks a year this time around. If I somehow get to 50 or 51 naturally, I might pump something out. But otherwise, I think I'll leave it be xD
My rush is now instead. I have so much to work on, I barely know where to start!
Reminds me of a classic Nintendo game. For some odd reason it reminds me of Zelda games, lol Very enchanting yet battle laden. Sweet and simple.
LucidShadowDreamer responds:
Yeah, I can see the Zelda comparison to some extent :p
Thanks for leaving a review!
Really digging the overall vibe here, LSD. I'm glad that loops are working properly again, and while this is decidedly short, it gets the job done. I don't really have a lot to say, though a bit more variation to the drum pattern would have made this even better in my opinion. That said, whipping up something this solid over the course of an hour and a half is fantastic.
Congrats on scooping up Stormdrum 3 during good ol' Black Friday! I look forward to seeing what else you do with it going forward.
LucidShadowDreamer responds:
Hey dude! Nice to hear from ya :D
Yeah. I became super happy that the audio player was looping properly again, as I really dig me some smooth loops :)
I totally agree about the percussion, it could be a bit more varied for sure. But then again, I made this in a really short time frame, and the main thing I wanted to check, was how much power I could easily get out of this new library. The answer is, a lot more than with anything I've previously owned XD
Do you have anything new on the way? :)
Thanks for listening and for leaving a review!
great! Perfect loop dun dun dun
LucidShadowDreamer responds:
Thanks! Hehhe, yeah. I am guilty of really liking smooth loops...
Good stuff as usual, always a treat with every track you release!
LucidShadowDreamer responds:
Thanks for the review, man, and thanks for reviewing so much of what I upload. I really appreciate it!
