Sounds excellent... I always like to hear some sample work from any new user of a product before I buy it. Long time user knows already what their doing, so it just proves that this product is no BS compare to any other library
Now I would like to get my Opus bundle too or just max out the cc & get the pro Orchestral cube [:)]

OPus 1 piece: wonderful. Mysterious, omnious. Almost sounds like a main title to a thriller like Red Dragon or something. A bit Elfmanesque in orchestration, but still different enough.
This is a track that really gets me craving for more!

Wind Band: doesn't really do it for me. I like the composition, but the counterpoint follows the main voice a littlebit too much. Just my opinion. Doesn't matter if you're John Williams (listen to The Battle of the Heroes from the latest Star Wars) or an old master or a fellow VSL user - if one does this sort of counterpoint, I'm quite dissapointed.

Action: COOL! Indeed, some passages recall TheIncredibles. But these are just moments. I think it has a great build up, some very cool brass motives and a nice orchestration.
One thing I'm wishing for is some greater rhythmical drive, which would make it more 'playful' and add suspense.

Best part is the first one and a half minute.
Also, I'm very fond of percussion, and I like hearing the tam tam and thundersheet!

Mustafar: short, omnious, foreboding. Is has a classical vein to it, in its sound. The tam tam noises get a bit redundant from the loud scrapes from 44 secs. Maybe a bit too loud in the mix.
Also, perhaps some extra layer to get more 'drive' could be a nice addition.


All in all, I'm an immediate fan of your Opus cue, and like the action one also very much. Great work!

Thanks [:)]

Do the guys here add any old user created tracks to the User-Demos Section.. Just wondering? It would be nice to have my work featured somewhere =)

Thanks =P

Here's something new [:)] ... Comments?

- Heart Thump

Thanks [:P]

I like the heart beat, i'm just listening it from my phones. Did you made that sound design or is it a bass drum from opus?

Heart Thumb: nice ambient effort. Just last week I worked on something in a similar vein (see thread about My First REAL score in orch/composing department), including a piece imitating a heartbeat (but with plate bells).

I like this sort of things. Like to write 'em too! ... [[;)]]
I only feel that the heartbeats fade away too quickly in the end passage.
And the shocker needs something really shrieking (high frequencies - volume is at its ceiling).

no.. the heart beat is from a sample entitled "Horr" from one of my Kompakt Libraries [:)]

I know what you mean about the shocker --- there are some high stac-1 flutes in there but I turned 'em down a little cos they didn't sound as great as I had imagined I guess..
