How does my attempt at a Hollywood film music sound?It's a work in progress and therefore an early production sample. But as I'm new around here, I'm keen to listen to critism from more experienced…Continue

Julian Croot posted a discussionShe's amazing
This ballad has a slight 'hymnal' feel to it.I wanted to try and do something which sounded a little David Foster-ish.I sometimes struggle to get a sense of 'space' in my music, and things can sound a bit over cooked in the midrange.I've EQ'd, compressed and panned to try and avoid this mistake, and I'm not sure I've succeeded.

Julian Croot replied to Gary Randall's discussion The formula for Romantic Music"My approach would be piano, string and flute or oboe. I think woodwind instruments in general carry a romantic tune well."
Julian Croot replied to P.Petridis's discussion She's a fairytale-music trailer"Another stunning piece of work.The delicate opening is interesting and beautifully produced, and as has already been said the transition is superb.
The big crescendo reminded me of the soundtrack to 'Point of No Return' by Hans…"
Julian Croot replied to Julian Croot's discussion An old softy I've been reluctant to post, but hey why not."Thanks for the comments. I agree with everything you've said. At the time I did this I simply didnt have the understanding of my tools to create the emotion I was feeling. Quite frustrating.
The sounds are a blend of halion orchestra (which…"
Aaron McDonald replied to Julian Croot's discussion An old softy I've been reluctant to post, but hey why not."This is going to sound wrong, but bear with me - I just woke up, and I've been watching a lot of comedies lately.
Makes me picture little people (midgets) dancing and running around in slow motion on a bright and sunny day.
Was that the…"

I wrote and produced this piece a couple of years ago, long before I had purchased East West Symphonic Orchestra and other decent tools.I've been in two minds as to whether to post it here, but since I'm considering re-doing with the better quality tools I now have, perhaps it's a good time to hear some critique on the original. Anyway, here it is.See More
Julian Croot replied to P.Petridis's discussion my first 2 music trailers"I love the end of the Romeo & Juliet piece. Beautiful."
Julian Croot replied to Russell Bell's discussion Another big epic theme"The percussion makes this piece... really dramatic and gets a thumbs up from me.
My personal preference would be for a stronger melody, but the drama you've created is impressive."
Robert Johnstone replied to Julian Croot's discussion Filmscore production sample"Hi, thanks. I enjoyed listening to the composition. I listen to different music than you, probably, but I enjoyed hearing the composition irregardless."
Anders Christensen replied to Julian Croot's discussion Filmscore production sample"I think it is an okay start for Hollywood score. As it is now I do however think that it lacks some punch. In another post Ray recommended listening to two steps from hell
To my ears it sits between two chairs. It does not have that epic…"
Julian Croot replied to Henri Vartio's discussion "Mind of genious""I love it! Great work.
It sounds like a blend of 'Spiderman' and 'A beautiful mind'.
Thanks for sharing.

Julian Croot left a comment for Ryan Brady"Hi Ryan, and thank you for taking the trouble to comment.
You're right, I'm going for the 'epic' sound on this but I also want to create a more delicate and romantic score soon.
I'm really just getting to grips with…"
Ryan Brady left a comment for Julian Croot"Hey Julian - The progression and orchestration are definitely in the 'epic' Hollywood victory genre etc...a move in the right direction if that's what you're shooting for. Looking forward to hearing more!

- I'm learning the tools and techniques required to create a film score.

I'm certainly not experienced in this field, I'm just a pianist with an interest in music technology and production.
I've already produced a couple of demos to see how my work stacks up against others, and really want to improve.
