Music Thread - Jacob__mybb_import1 - 12-04-2012
I'll start it this time, since I actually made something that doesn't sound like my dog dancing on a piano. It's not finished yet, but I'm going to use it as the theme song for my next game when it's done.

Cool. What music genre is it?

When the strings broke in I was expecting drums to burst in instead... I wasn't expecting that genre of music, since I tend to make electronica, not orchestral. I doubt I could make strings and brass work as well for me as they seem to for you.
It sounds great, but the tempo shift at around 0:48 threw me off for a moment the first time I heard it, and it took a moment to unscramble the rest of the song in my mind. If I had written that, I probably would have put a resonating cymbal ride there, or some other transitional effect. But then, I tend to do that about twice in every song I write, so I may use that kind of thing too much
Also, the melody is awesome, and the choice of instruments works very well with it, but the bass and brass sound just the slightest bit... I don't know a good word for it. Unrealistic? Like a keyboard? Nothing awful or anything, and I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't notice; I've just got a very perfectionist mind when it comes to music.
Oh, and one more question. Are you still using LMMS? If so, what are you using for the piano in the beginning? I can't seem to get a good realistic-sounding one.

I use FL Studio now, it's EVM Grand Piano and a Kawaii Piano soundfont (maybe not that one) combined.

This has a lot of potential. The only thing I found weird was the tempo shift like Ghosty said and the strings felt a bit out of step with the rest of the song.
RE: Music Thread - Jacob__mybb_import1 - 12-04-2012
Just uploaded an improved version, I used better VSTs for the strings and got rid of the tempo shift.
RE: Music Thread - Ghosty - 12-05-2012
Now the strings are a tiny shift too early. I hear them cutting in an instant before they should.
I like the way you changed the tempo shift, though. After that part it sounds awesome, definitely title theme material.

Can I have a copy of the music files? I could see if I could mess with it.

This is my favorite rap/hiphop song. The lyrics are really deep and the beat is the sickest that my endorphins had ever been released to.
