Thank you for the feedback. Btw, when I pitch music in the maker (at least MV) it doesn't disrupt the quality at all. And I never said fast paced percussion was "the equivalent to battle music", I said it was "ideal", meaning fast paced percussion lends itself to the "urgency" that you later stated wasn't present in my music, which I will address further down. Also, I wasn't suggesting pitching the same songs up and down throughout the game (though, i'm not discouraging it either). I just meant if you didn't like the original pitch or pace, you could change it with the program, and have it at the same pitch when you use it in-game. I appreciate the feedback though, albeit mostly negative and uninformative. Saying that my music is "just not quite there", "missing something", or "there's no real energy or urgency", isn't very helpful. That doesn't really even mean anything. I don't know whether you make music at all or not, but it seems like just something to say because you didn't like it. I would prefer you just say that, or that it isn't your taste, or maybe even that it isn't what you think of when you think of RPG Battle Music, rather than give some backhanded, pretentious feedback proclaiming that "this isn't Battle Music", as if your opinion is fact, or an absolute. Anyway, what I meant when I said I appreciate the feedback, is the fact that you listened in the first place, though judging from the feedback, I'm not sure how much of it you actually heard. At any rate, it's for that, that I thank you.
I've been working on music for Stormrite! This is "Moonlight," a piece of ambient exploration music. I explored a lot of new territory with mixing and mastering on this one
Hey thanks so much, man! I love percussion too, but usually use it only for the more epic tracksThis is really good. I like the ambiance it helps set. The artwork really says it all, it's got a real medieval feel to it. Nice work here I like it. It's clear and well mastered. The levels are well done, never being to high or low. There's a real classic RPG vibe here that I like, and the lack of percussion was a good choice. I sometimes receive criticism for using percussion in my game music, but I prefer a good mix of synths and percussion in my music. That's just me though, it doesn't work for every song either, so good decision here. I can't imagine getting bored or annoyed by this song looping while playing, so that's a huge plus. You've just done a good all around job producing this song. Kudos!
No problem. Yeah I think that percussion is definitely appropriate on epic tracks (boss fights, opening sequences, final scene sequences, etc.). If you'd ever like to collab on something sometime let me know. I'd be happy to work with you.Hey thanks so much, man! I love percussion too, but usually use it only for the more epic tracks
I want to finish it someday, but, I sadly cannot as of right now. The reason being is that I am using a PC-Intensive VST and have several layers of that VST and it has gotten to a point where it crashes 90% of the time. My PC isn't able to handle the song as I want it.
I understand completely, man. I'm working on a 9 - 10 year old PC and in a DAW the same age. I'm in the process of saving to build a new system as I'm having my fair share of compatibility issues and crashes. Here's to both of us getting up and running the way we'd like to be sooner rather than later!I want to finish it someday, but, I sadly cannot as of right now.

I especially love “Aura’s Theme” & “Hardship”. Your composer did a fantastic job!!
