Hello everyone
This will be my first post on this forum.
I like to focus on the trailer music at this point in my life.
I composed a short piece of trailer music.
feedback is always welcome.

Well, the feedback i like to recieve is
1 does it sound well in your ears?
2 is it technical right?
3 how can i make it sounds richer and more full? ( or maybe its ok)
4 this is composed without any sort of compression or eq.
I am interested in making music for trailers, movie, game, docu's
Like audiomachine and two steps from hell for example.
And i really love to make that kind of music.
it heals me.
With thechnically right i mean if it fits all together, because this genre is a little new
for me. Is it done well? Or maybe someone can give me tips for the composition.
The instruments used are
ewql gold
ewql silver
ewql gold pro
ewql stormdrums
And a selfmade sample ( the one you will hear when the music starts)
I listened to your soundtrack music and it's fine but a little generic. I think your on the right track and it's fine to emulate other's music but you'll need to start taking chances, looking inward and believing in yourself while at the same time being aware of what is needed to enhance the visual medium. That's what craftsmanship is all about. Walking a fine line between expressive composing and producing a salable product. It's also about hard work and not giving up in a very competitive business.
Bob, composers for epic media music don't pay attention to instrumentation. They just write what sounds good, or copy what they've heard from other DAW sound designers. They don't know what saxophones or clarinets are for, and even the trumpet, of all things, is dying because epic composers think of John Williams when the trumpet has the melody. Something y'all are getting confused about also is that y'all think their goal is to write a full composition. It is not, their pieces are normally short, less than 2 minutes, written to describe a mood or emotion.
If you want to get serious in this, here are just some recommendations off the top of my noodle:
Strings: Hollywood Strings, LASS, Orchestral Tools, Cinestrings, and Spitfire
Brass: Cinebrass, Sample Modeling, Spitfire, Soundiron Brass Symphony Series Brass Collection
Woodwinds: Orchestral Tools
Percussion: Cinesamples, Damage, Spifire
Harp: Cineharp
Synths: Zebra
Piano: Malmsjo, Spitfire Hans Zimmer Piano, Steinway Model D, Cinesamples Piano in Blue, Garritan CFX, The Grandeur
Reverb: Spaces, Altiverb, Valhalla
Choirs: Soundiron, Cinesamples
Epic Orchestral Ensembles: Spitfire Albion Series, Orchestral Tools Metropolis Ark 1
Organ: Hauptwerk Virtual Pipe Organ
Other Stuff: Kontakt Full Version, Virtual Sound Stage
EQ is very important when working with samples, almost every time you need to cut the low end to avoid build-up, have a clean sound, and cut noise.
