Still WIP, a few hours work so far. There is a little distortion at around 29 secs... going to fix that tonight, i must have mixed one of the instruments beyond a peak.

Crits welcome btw , it's how we all grow after all. [;)]

I'll come back to you this evening, when I return from Bristol. The others will also, so don't fret. [H]

no sweat [:D] Here's an ambience cue track in the meantime in addition to the other...

I thought these are interesting cues and very well done.

I had one minor criticism just on the mix of the fast one - it sounds like a little too much (or too long) reverb for the quick repeated rhythms. Maybe a tighter room would be desirable with all those percussive sounds?

Hello James

I like the first one. It's good, although there is no final resolve. It's part of a cue after all. I don't like to say stuff like this, but it's kinda Elfmanish in it's sound and structure to me. Take it as a compliment. The only thing I would say, is it's either my imagination or it seems to speed up noticeably at around 35 seconds. Maybe a trick of the orchestration.

The second cue is very relaxed sounding to me and doesn't go overboard on the orchestration, thus giving it plenty of breathing room, which I like. Didn't pick up the distortion mind you. Anyway, well done on both. Interesting. You seem to have sorted out your computer system and presumably you are using PC's with Giga?

To me it sounds good. Only in the second track the flute at 0:24 sounds like a mixing failure. It sounds like the flute is simply mixed too soft instead of played very softly, if you intended that.

I'm still trying to find out what he heck a WIP track is?

Thanks all, interesting about sounding like elfman, because I don't listen to very much of his music (and I don't consider him to be an influence, but I do like batman [[;)]] ) I wonder... if somehow because I am not classically trained in anyway (like elfman) there are some inherant traits that self training (so to speak) introduces into our compositions? For better or for worse [:D]
I have only 1 out of 3 pc's working at the moment i'm afraid... had some component problems in one pc and the other one had a dented case.

WIP = Work in Progress [[;)]]

That´s my job! [:D]

What did you do? Did you have 3 computers built from scratch? Is this Giga also?

Yes, they were all built from scratch, and all are giga machines. I went for killer pc's in preparation for Giga 3.
