Summoner of Sounds
Alright, I've submitted a couple of compositions for this chapter :)
vs_Clavinet
vs_Clarinet
Both repeat after 1/2, 2/3 way through to show the loop
Also
to TigerManU's 'Almost There' - I think I would rather use it as an ending credits theme but regardless I think it keeps momentum very well and I just generally like it
Niyane your battle track sounds pretty epic and powerful, I especially love that middle section - other than that, I think the drum beat you've got going for rest of the piece is overpowering the orchestra a bit too much (but that might just be me)

Thanks for replying in such detail ymir and to happy and fulmini-ictus as well, yeah I'll probably get some kind of a DAW - I have a mac desktop easily available so I was thinking logic pro might be ok as I wouldn't need to use VST plugins as they already have an ok sound font (I think it does at least). Does anyone have any experience with it?
Summoner of Sounds
Me and Lucent Aurora (Team Koi) have submitted something, please tell me what you think (just so you know I have repeated it at halfway, just after 2 mins, to show the looping) :)
Also I have a question, how many of you notate your music, and what do you do after that to achieve a clean track (because the default notation software sounds aren't that great). Thanks.
Feedback for last chapter:
Breaker
Anxiety- I think this is really effective atmospherically and is just good background music in general, I think it would be nice with a sort of section B focusing on silence but that's probably just me.
Dread- While I like this one as well, I personally feel dread is more wild and stressed emotion, I can easily imagine this playing during a cut-scene of a group of enemies chatting about evil stuff.
Unease- I think it feels too short though I would really like it as an opening of a longer track, I'm not too sure but maybe some overlapping dissonant long note 'melodies' would be effective here.
TigerManU
A battle- This sound like such a chill battle, perfect for calming the player during a frustrating battle. I'm not too sure how well it would loop but it's probably not that bad. Have a star:
acidhedz
Behind you- I feel the little snippets of creepy melody need to be a little more spaced out as to heighten the tension. Feels creepier as it progresses. Latter parts succeeded at giving me goosebumps (then again I get goosebumps way too easily >.<).
Hunted- I really liked this one, flows really well and I found it quite satisfying to listen to, was still pretty creepy sounding though.
Melancholia- Captures the emotion well though the structure seems a tiny bit messy, I think it's the dropping out of the original drone-y thing. Also I think this one would benefit from a little more melodic development.
Cats777
Feeling of Smile- Finally a happy one, I don't really feel it captures the emotion for me but I'm struggling to explain why. Possibly it feels a little too happy it's bordering on superficial. Then again I thought your use of percussion was very effective.
Fulminis-ictus
Hope- I feel this captures hope very well, I really like your use of the string and brass combination, feels almost etrian-odyssey like. Sorry I'm not really sure how to improve on it >.<.
I think I'm reaching the end of my focus with this today so I'll say what I think of the other works in that chapter tomorrow (unless I forget....). Sorry if I repeated what other people have said in the feedback, I haven't read most of the older messages on this thread but I hope it was still useful... ♪~♪

For this chapter, does the acoustic guitar count as an orchestral instrument, and how much of the orchestra is required (would it be possible to just do a small ensemble of for example a couple of clarinets and a piano/guitar or would that be too small)?
Summoner of Sounds
@Vanillatogether Thanks for the feedback, I agree that the beginning needs a bit of work and I'm glad you like it ♪~♪
@Artificer Thanks, any way you think I could improve on it?

Ugh I usually dislike entering competitions or showcases because I'm really bad at composing to fit a theme or mood and I don't usually like sharing my work but it's probably the best way to improve so here it is... please give me feedback, thanks.

I'm sorry I'm really new and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to post a track as I have searched for at least 10 minutes (then again I'm pretty bad at finding things >.<) for a way how to and I can't find anything....
