Ingame Track Challenge
Hey guys, here is a new challenge! I tried to set it up like the typical gaming script that you get from game developers but made it a bit more "hardcore". Let's say it's a very picky client but VERY conversational when it comes to questions! The message here is to follow the requirements 100000% but ask if anything is unclear, even though it is the most stupid thing to ask! - Not longer than 1:30 min. Doesn't have to be exactly 1:30 min, a few seconds less is OK - Looped - File format - 48Khz, 24bit wav - Orchestral track in the style of Nobuo Uematsu - Style: 100% Orchestral - Lead melody instrument: String Section - Tempo: mid to fast Scenario: During this part of the game the party of heroes travels through the world via airship. Since the party is travelling very often, we will hear this track quite a few times during a game session. Make sure it sounds fantastic, the mood should support the uplifting and positive feeling of travelling through air. It should also strongly support the feeling of ultimate freedom and should give the player the feeling they can go wherever they want. There is no dialogue while travelling so you are free to play with STRONG melodies. Again, keep in mind that players will hear this track very often, so avoid anything that sounds too annoying, repetive and stressful. We want pure joy and freedom! We don't want the typical background track of 2-3 instruments and solo strings. We want a bit of a fuller arrangement. How you do it, doesn't matter as long as it sounds great and supports the scene! Find a picture attached for inspiration. We need this track by the end of August.

@Alex Pfeffer thank you Alex ! I tossed some modal chords like the II and the bVII in there but always struggle when it comes to writing fully in a specific mode (except for Dorian) 😅

🎬 From Lost and Overwhelmed to Trailer Music Wins — Meet Matt
Every once in a while, someone in our community shares a journey that perfectly captures what this whole thing is about. That’s exactly what happened when I sat down with Matt, who just a couple of years ago was stuck — struggling to break into the trailer music world, doubting himself, and unsure where to go next. In his words: “I had the music... but no plan. No idea where to send it, who to talk to, or how to even approach people. It felt like shouting into the void.” But things did change. Matt went from working completely alone to: - Signing with three trailer music libraries (including ones doing Marvel and AAA placements) - Releasing a full trailer album - Writing custom tracks that are now being pitched to major campaigns - Finally getting to work on trailerized pop song arrangements — a dream of his from the start - All of this happened once he stopped working in isolation and started building a real strategy, accountability, and support system around his music career. 🎥 In this video, Matt talks about: - The moment everything began to shift - How real feedback, live calls, and step-by-step planning helped - And why the echo chamber so many composers are trapped in is the real creativity killer - Watch the full interview in the attached video. If you’re curious about the program Matt is talking about — the one that gave him the tools, clarity, and support to finally break through — you can check it out here: 👉 Learn more about the Audio Artist Rise Program There’s no magic bullet. But there is a clear path forward — and a group of people who have your back. ✌️ Alex

Hey Guys 👋, This is a „Uplifting Trailer Track“ , which I wanted to pitch to some sync libraries (once the little album is finished) The mixing / mastering is not done entirely and I also want to reduce the Volume of the downers , they are a little bit to loud^^. I would love to hear your thoughts :) https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/012iNmyrcsMAygjXlZO-_eKzw#Trailer_Album_track_1

First of all : Really great post 👍 I currently do have a little bit of decision fatigue. The three ways I want to pursue with priority are 1. Writing music for (fantasy) games 2. Writing music for film 3. Selling my music directly to fans over for example Shopify During some months in the last year I also wanted to focus more on sync licensing, but I am no longer sure if I want to do this, as I have heard that you need to really create a lot of high quality music in a short time to match the requirements from the sync libraries. Time wise I want do something, what is possible in parallel to my main job, and then later (when I make enough money with the music) go into part-time on my main job. I always think that I have to invest as much time for the music related (for example game-) projects as for my main job, but I guess there are probably also smaller projects (like indie games) which don’t require to put in that much time. I think in the End my main Blocking point is the question „how fast do clients typically want to see results and can invest enough time to meet these expectations ?“ (of course I will never now if I don’t try it 😅) I already wrote music with some deadlines but I don’t no if this matches the timelines which are normal for the industry.
