Fin - Kurt

Description : I'm working on getting a good "soundtrack" sort of orchestral sound. This is the most complex piece that I've recorded thus far and getting all the themes and instruments in their best places has been a challenge. I'm still not completely happy with some of the brass sounds, but much of the rest of the orchestra sounds "real".
Comments are always welcome!

"and nobody listens to radios anywhere else these days!"

That's not true, sir. Broadcast radio is still a huge medium (although not as frequented by the public as in the 80s & 90s). Major record labels still spend thousands of dollars in air-time for their releases. If this was not so, you and I could release our works on the radio. But we cannot because the Majors still have that medium virtually on lockdown (thus making it expensive for the little guys to enter). An independent artist's friend is still college radio.

Really? You think people listen to radios at home or at worK? I guess I always think of radio as a car medium. I suppose that with many stations broadcasting on the internet that there is plenty of airplay out there... but if they are using the internet, there's really no need for the audio restrictions that broadcast radio has. (I guess I just hate those restrictions!) With any luck, the Majors will continue their steady decline, leaving room for the rest of us.

The overall composition is good. The 30-second right channel pan could be annoying to some listeners. Left channel is too low even for a pan simply because it is a near-30 second stretch. For that reason, this would not be radio-friendly (ever wondered why no song ever played on the radio began with a channel panned?). It would work well in a movie or stage theater, but the pan would still need to be shortened to like 10 seconds. Love the break.

Yeah, totally right. I've always liked panning - to an extent! - but it's one of those things that can get overused so easily that I think the standard these days is to NEVER use it. I suspect that "radio friendly" will one day be gone. Between the (necessary) equalization and massive compression, music with dynamics and color doesn't stand much of a chance in a car - and nobody listens to radios anywhere else these days!

I'm not entirely sure - it's been what? 8 years ago that I wrote and posted this stuff!

This piece has is so complex! It must have taken you ages to get it to sound like this. Fantastic.

Description : New Horizons is my first fully digital/MIDI track recorded using just my guitar with a MIDI pickup. The title seemed fitting because this track represents stepping into a whole new musical world with the guitar. The cinematic feel of the track also makes me picture standing on an epic landscape, taking in an amazing view with the wind blowing around me and a whole new horizon ahead, either that or the video game zelda... :)

Description : Two guitar tracks and lots of reverb on both. Just panned and reduced the volumes a little. Oh! - also this track was inspired from NeaMera, so ten minutes! Enjoy!

Description : I wanted to create something like the track Beautiful by Eminem but with a really melodic Dr Dre type hip hop instrumental with a retro 80's vibe. This is what I came up with. Hope you enjoy it. Since I am allowed only 1 upload per day here, I edited the previous track with this new upload I made today.
