Thanks for the link, those look very interesting. As for mastering... Yea, I know enough to appreciate a job well done and not to make obvious mistakes myself, but that's definitely one of the areas where I need to watch, listen and practice more. (Another one is synthesis, your track actually inspi...

Thanks for sharing, and I'm still in awe, even after seeing how exactly you did some of the stuff.

Still not sure how you made those thick bassy sounds. (And blended them with more traditional zasfx tone and the samples so well, but I guess that one is where the real art is.)

Oops... Sorry. I tend to get carried away a lot, and this whole subject of people's attitudes towards classical music is just such a nice topic to get carried away about I couldn't resist.

Mind-blowing. Not just the fact that you made ZynAddSub to do everything but fetch you a newspaper, but basically the entire track.

Although a first few vids are about sheet music he doesn't focus on it, he just explains some basics and then some more unusual symbols he occasionally uses as he goes along. He also actually plays most his examples and uses Roman chords too when appropriate, so even if you aren't very good at readi...

I haven't yet watched most of it, but it's definitely a good refresher, though this style may or m...

Really epic intro and really nice track overall, although I felt the last 40 or so seconds just needed something extra, not sure what

Hmmm... Honestly? I've done worse, so it's probably not my place to give advice, but here it is anyway. You're good at making melodies, basslines, etc. but the piece sounds like you didn't do any mixing or FX at all and didn't even think about it. The bassline clips horribly , all the time, and so d...

You don't think that there's a hint of a chance that you're raising the bar a wee bit too high for a cover band made up of young, less experienced, musicians? You need to start somewhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjeMDvCdrtc I knew it was THAT video before even clicking... Which raises an in...
