Reviews for "Purity 1"
Great. this word will decribe the whole song
The melody, chords and feel actually feel like Mylene Farmer's songs when it begins. Not so much when the piano does its trills later on, or later when the piece advances -- it gets that feel again in the end. It changes feels a lot, but the intro was what grabbed me the most.
The piano is mixed the best out of all of them -- I'm not sure about the strings; they sound a bit too synthesised for my taste. The instrumentation is otherwise effective, and it's one of those tracks where 'less is more.'
Erso responds:
Thank you for your criticism, I'll improve these things. I don't exactly understand what were you trying to say about Mylene Farmer's songs. Is it good, is it bad, I don't know.
Piano... «mixed». Don't be kidding me, the only thing I made with it is channel volume changing and maybe some velocity changes.
Synthesised strings... Well I imported them from DirectWave, as much as two other soundfonts. I tried searching different things but didn't find anything that would fit better than this one soundfont.
Hey, don't listen to that dude "changes feels", whatever does that supposed to mean? It's a solid concept from start to finish, it's in key, and sounds pretty good.
Although in my opinion some of the vst you chose sound a little corny. They make the piece sound like it's an old jrpg soundtrack. I mean if that's what you were going for, that's alright then, but if you want more realistic sounding instruments, maybe you should try Kontakt.
I use FL 12 with Kontakt 5 and some of the string instrument sounds in that are just amazing.
But that's just a suggestion, it's a very nice melody.
Erso responds:
These are built-in soundfonts from DirectWave, not VSTs.
I never used neither vst nor kontakt.
Really cool!
The only complaint I guess would be that it isn't really classical- sounding. It is classical, but it sounds like it could easily have become more electronic and it would have been cool.
Erso responds:
Thanks, all of my older tracks are actually like this :D Being something in-between electronic and classical.
