Way to Eden - inspired by the film: Logan

Hi everyone,

Way to Eden - it's my new instrumental, synth-orchestral, soundtrack song inspired by the film: Logan. Music composed by me and produced with LMMS



I invite you to listen it here:

And share with me your feedback and opinion

I grasped the idea of a slow crescendo all along the track, a slow graduation of the orchestra, the layers that add up gradually.

But in practice, there is not this increase in intensity. The general volume, the intensity of each instument remains almost constant throughout the track.

Sorry for my broken English

Hi D.Ipsum, my English is even worse, so no stress You're right, the attempt to do dynamics by master volume was a bad idea. Version without this procedure is probably better. If you find a moment, then listen new version and let me know if it is better now:

Nice.
It sounds good, but I noticed that this track, is less dramatic, in comparison to your other tracks.
The only thing it needs, is the epic feel and emotional build ups, that your previous tunes had.

I compared the two versions (with cheap headphones), and honestly, I didn’t hear any substantial difference. Maybe I should listen to them on my other computer (with cheap speakers …).

But, indeed, a way to gradually increase the intensity is by playing crescendo (from pianissimo to fortissimo), with the volume.

Another way is by playing with the cutoff frequency of a filter. Something that might give you ideas :
- In the LMMS browser, there is a preset of the TripleOscillator called ElectricOboe.xpf.
- If you play a note for 10 seconds, what you listen, this increase in intensity, it is explained by the ENV/LFO> CUTOFF tab, and more precisely by the value of the ATT. By playing with the ENV/LFO> CUTOFF tab, this allows you to obtain modulations of intensity note by note, for one instrument.
- With this ElectricOboe.xpf., if you have, for example, 10 long notes in the Piano Roll, and if you automate the ENV/LFO> CUTOFF>AMT from 0 to 1, you get something like a gradual increase in intensity.

If this can help.

Hi brandystarbrite,

learning to compose music and make it in LMMS is is a difficult and time consuming process.

When I start to make a melody, I'm sure that what I'm creating is great but after several dozen hours of work on this, I am not at all sure, that I still like it a bit As long as I stray like a child in the fog, sometimes my track will come out better and sometimes worse... But ultimately every composition is a really good, multi-hour, creative adventure and that's why I like do it

In this song I liked that the melody breaks the standard d-moll tone but it is still harmonious and melodious. I have no music knowledge so I do not know what to call it... But it was the most interesting in this one composer adventure
