I'm not on my main computer so I don't have my project files, but this is something I made recently as a test for a potential commissioner.
@Arcana I see what you mean about the reverb! It's a template I use and I didn't make any modifications to it since the track itself was made in a hurry. A few of the tracks don't have the 'verb on them, and the volume mix is off, so those two factors aren't helping very much. If I ever go back to it, I'll definitely keep your critique in mind!
I'd be curious to learn about how you go about acquiring/charging for commissions.
As for the song itself - very driving. I like the bass and the dedicated beat. I'm not personally sure about my feelings on the reverb, it sounds a little random? It feels like a combination of a large outdoor space and a tight indoor space. I enjoyed the lighthearted introduction that leads into the more rhythmic section. Gives me a cool video game level vibe, like when you go into the mountain zone and then it gets all groovy.
Just something short I made as a non-functional harmony plaything.
Something peaceful, as I felt as much lately. It translated to this.
Hey.
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.

Congrats on the commission! How do you find them? This track has a medieval vibe but i like how the percussive bass that starts around 0:45 is subtle but adds a drive to the track. Nice track!
