Description
Sometimes, a person doesn’t realize that what they create will become a legend in the future.
Lots of times the legends are about the weapon and not about who crafted it. Also, maybe it was not the intention of the blacksmith and the weapon becomes a legend by the wielder's heroic deeds.
Setup:
Sine Player: Berlin Free Orchestra (Violins, Violas, Celli) and Dynamo (Timpani, Grand Cassa and Snares)
Fire Studio BBC Symphony Orchestra (Free Edition): Bass, Glockenspiel and Horns.
Kontakt: The Free Orchestra 2: The Concerto Harp

Cool submission overall, I really like how the melody passes between different isntruments, definitely a good submission, but I just feel there could be more things happening if the tracks gonna be aroudn 3 and a half minutes. Still great job!
The beginning is really beautiful and calm, and it develops nicely. I especially like the strings, they have a really nice cinematic feel and work very well here. Overall, it’s an enjoyable listen :)
Yo Xafae, this is a really nice track, I'm always eager to listen to your stuff! I think on this one maybe the whole piece feels potentially slightly underwhelming? I think maybe there's not quite enough dynamics because the composition is pretty solid overall. Perhaps the melody could've been more impactful maybe through strong instrumentation or a more dynamic mix? Still a great track tho!
Great track, loved the buildup. Production is clean, although it does sound a bit stiff, perhaps lacking some nuance or some other form of variation whether it be in timbre or rhythm, because it does kinda feel robotic. Also lack some risers or other ear candy in my opinion, and the production ends up somewhat underwhelming.
Melody clarity 5/5 (I like that multiple instruments pass the melody to each other)
Melody impact 4/5 (The melody itself is very verbose and there's a lot of it, constantly, which makes it difficult to remember as a motif)
Composition 3/5
Listenability 3/5
Correlation to theme 2/5 (Would've loved a more precise subject rather than a general theme, makes it harder to see the connection to the theme)
I love your sound, great job !
hell yeah. would fit perfectly into an epic weapon-making montage.
After reviewing & rating everyone's work, I've decided that I hope you get at least in the Top 3 Winners! You've made an awesome track, & you should be proud of that. Great Job & Good Luck!
I really like the combination of what uyou used in this song! It's also very funny that I have too much plug-ins, & I literally have all the Virtual Instruments listed above... LOL. I like using SINE Player for Crucible, BBC Symphony Orchestra for making Braams, & The Free Orchestra 2 For Strings, Percussion, Choir, Plucks, & Brass. Haven't used The Free Orchestra 2 in so long though... I should start working with it more.
As usual, a fantastic submission from you. Really loved how it's a perfect combination of tamed yet still epic.
