that's really nice. The snare drum and the metal bar strikes stand out. I like the volume swells and brass in the first. Kindof cool in the later part how it transitions and the high flute part comes in. Thought it sounded very good.

Thanks! More music at www.soundcloud.com/lixiaoan with "Ravenmark" in the title.

I like the structure, especially the big crescendo at the beginning. It really adds dramatic flair, and *immediately* caught my attention. About the only critique I have is that, although your melodies are really great and catchy, they seem to wander a bit as a full structure. It would be nice to hear more of what you'd call the "main" theme, just to solidify the piece as a whole.

That's a really minor critique, however, and overall I love the piece.

Hey Curtis! Perhaps it might be the constant change in instrumentation, but the melodies are repeated more or less exactly twice in an "A (intro/interlude),B,C" form. Maybe if I just repeated it again it might help. Thanks!

Hi! Fantastic music, you really hit the adventure gamer in me. Can I ask which DAW set up you have? I am currently set with SonarX1 Producer and a couple of guitars, but I'm thinking of maybe purchasing a Reaper license.

I'm using logic currently but thinking of switching to cubase since the lack of updates makes me nervous.

If you're in to writing long melodies, study Chopin, he had an incredible way of writing melodies that were long yet never seemed waffly.
