Entering a Nightmare [WIP]

So yeah, work-in-progress, or WIP, is just another way to say I'm sick of this song and I'd rather do other things.


If you think this song sucks, be glad. This was going to be MUCH longer.


However, if you wish it was longer, I'm so sorry.

Scales :D

I love it, to be honest, but the scales you use seem to be confusing, like you can't pick a key, I think you should have focused more on being in minor. The nightmare should sound darker and what you have so far is good, but it switchs to an odd key that doesn't really fit with the beginning

OpenLight responds:

Haha yeah this is an old WIP I made and felt better about before I uploaded it. If it was ever finished, there would be a better transition between scales. This was more like just me vomiting up stuff and calling it a song, hahaha. Thanks though!

This is pretty sweet.

My only outstanding problem is when the bass comes in, there's little buildup to it. The Windy fades as it comes in, where I think it could do with a hard kick to jumpstart it.

Hope I made even a shred of sense.

OpenLight responds:

You posted this two months ago and I just now realized that YOU posted that. Wooow. Haha, belated thanks.

 

I have the same trouble - if I'm writing a track it tends to get to two minutes or so before I run out of ideas for it. If a track's going to be longer than that, it comes naturally, no point forcing it.
Something I've learned is that it's better not to make a song longer just for the hell of it - but instead to focus on making the time it has as interesting as possible.

Anyyyway... on to the review. The static at the start could probably use something where it ends - either a fade out or introducing a stutter or something before it dies, and the risers from 01:32 to 01:39 could probably do with having the repeat cut out. I know that would make the track ~3 seconds shorter, but would help the flow there a bit. Sometimes less is more. :)

That said, I can't really fault the production side of things. It's not overcompressed, and the sounds aren't muddy.

Cheers,
~M
