Hello all, I have recently created these two songs, one of which I will use for my game. Which one should I use? My game is an action-packed roleplay (kind of like jailbreak), with sharks. Which one would go along best? Is there anything I should add or improve on? Thank you!
Sounds:
Song 1
–closed
Song 2
–closed
I am thinking along those lines myself. It’s kind of funny, because for Song 1, I spent around 30 minutes on, but for Song 2, I spent 10-15. Maybe that’s because Song 2 is more natural. Thanks for your insight!
In my opinion I feel like song two really steps ahead by the use of the bass as melody. With song one, you have a lot of sporadic rhythms making for an interesting beat; however, it really sounds like a lengthy drum solo rather than an action packed beat, I would suggest turning down the drums a bit and really putting an emphasis on the baseline in the melody, and turn down the harmony that gets looped starting at 7 seconds.
What gives song 2 the advantage is that you have a fast passed drum beat simulating urgency, and you have a clear melody with the base. In addition to that, you tac on some layers of drums at 13 seconds, as well as adding the background synths.
Anyways, those are my thoughts, don’t know too much about music composition so sorry if some of the terminology is wrong keep up the good work!
