[Music] Roukanken's Strange Works

[FinnKaenbyou]

So, I took a break from writing. Burnt myself out. Needed to work on something else for a change. Now, those of you who've been around for a while will probably know I had a period where I tried to write music for a fangame people were making. I haven't really made anything since, but...well, I needed a change of scenery.

I'm bad with concepts and naming. Hell, I more or less threw this together as I went along, but here it is:
Holy Disaster ~ Crusade of Crisis!

Not sure how frequently I'll be able to make these, if at all. Inspiration comes and goes, even moreso than with my writing. :V

It's pretty good ! It has a Top Gear 2-ish vibe to it, maybe because of the synth bass.

Fantastic job.

As for the song, it's a pretty good listen.

Time to give my commentary.

 - First, what combination of DAW, software, hardware, etc. do you use? I detect THFont.
 - The backing run of notes and melody have too similar tones. One of them should be changed.
 - I didn't like the polysynth in the background - lower its attack and raise its delay and release a little bit.

Write the MIDI in Anvil Studio, run it through SynthFont using THFont.

I'm afraid I don't know what any of those words mean. Attack? Delay? Release?

Hi

This might be where I run into trouble because I have no idea how to edit these in Synthfont. :x

SynthFont lacks these capabilities IIRC. For adjusting such parameters you need to load the SF2 in a VST or AU wrapper such as SFZ+ or EXS24.  From there you can adjust some settings with a graphical interface, which improves their flexibility a bit.
I haven't played in Anvil in a while, however, but I know it can load VSTis....

LOOOOooooove~
I just love the way THFont sounds, especially how you used the piano. Is this Acoustic Piano and Bright Piano? I can't seem to get the pianos to sound properly.

Also at 1:12, I think I'm hearing some synth brass. It kinda sounds like the AccessVirusBrass, though I could be wrong though. It kinda sound exciting for some reason.

I just want to point out the lack of power dedicated to the kicks.  :3

Looking forward to hearing more. XD

SUDDENLY FROM PAGE 5 AFTER 7 MONTHS

So today I had Anvil open and decided 'what the hell, DRK needs a theme song of some sort'. I'm still pretty lousy at this whole thing, but hopefully it's passable enough to be entertaining.

I'm getting Amiga vibes here, thanks to the panning of the instruments into hard left/right most of time. Not a problem, since I do love the Amiga sound, but I'm just noting that.

Good use of the trumpet and the fretless bass as a counter-melody/harmony.

I find the drums a bit quiet, and the harpsichord a bit loud around 1:30 especially. For the main piano melody I'd consider raising it an octave to make it stand out more. Piano seems lonely at 1:57, and could use some support, such as a left-hand portion.
