The first is the outline, the second is the more complete version.

Yes, epic sounds there.

This is so good!

@onezero Yeahhh, I forgot to up the volume of the piano arrangement before exporting it. It's at the volume it would be were it sitting in a mix and I completely forgot about that.

It's really great that you put up both--agreed that the piano alone emphasizes the melody, and the arrangement with more instruments was also a cool textural approach to this piece. Very cool!

It did seem a bit quiet, so I wonder if you could benefit from normalizing your peaks, and maybe doing multi band eq/compression on your output.

@eva Haha, thanks! I'm glad that you think so!

@Kedbreak136 Thank you. I need to work on the mixing a lot, but I'm happy with the way they turned out. I'm glad you like them.

great melodies ^^

I like both versions, they sound actually different enough to be enjoyed in their own rights. The piano only puts the emphasis on the melody. The other one has a great range of instruments - this reminds me of medieval like music / RPG music. The pretty part from 1:23 onwards with the bells is a nice break in the track.

More submissions by Ashedragon for Weekly Music 2021

Just something short I made as a non-functional harmony plaything.

Something peaceful, as I felt as much lately. It translated to this.

I don't make beats but someone asked me to make a beat and it's kinda something?

I whipped something up really quickly and now I'm hungry from using my brain.

Legit not sure what this is but ok.

Very rough but eh.

Finishing things I started.

Still tossing things together over on this side, maybe it's interesting?

Second: here's a piece of something I started a few weeks ago but made some progress on.

Something.

sorry, am trying.

Forgot to submit my creation for last week so I'll do that hopefully tomorrow.

Started this and I am trying to use nicer sounds, though I do struggle with them. Currently comparing the sound without versus with the sustain pedal on the piano, thoughts?

What I'd forgotten to submit the other week. Just a short, cheerful loop. Might flesh it out.

This was an attempt at making something more fast paced. I think it is still quite slow, so I stopped and will try again with something else. It is not as high energy as I was wanting, but not terrible I suppose.

Been very busy with work so I'd forgotten to upload this work in progress that I started...

I'm still practicing, but I played a melody that I liked and ended up trying to play a harmony to go with it. I can't quite play intricate things, but I tried my best!
(The repeat bass was added later, of course it definitely can't be played in tandem with everything else)

Pardon my Scottish. Partially influenced by Anomalie.

Worked on the instrumental for a song I started writing a while back.
I really hate how the guitars sound but I'm not sure if that's just my guitar or the amp sim I'm using so I didn't touch it for now.
