My transitions are a bit 'shakey' right now and doesnt have flow. In the first 'actiony' one I started bringing in some metal drums near the end and was thinking of getting some heaveh riffage, but from a mixing standpoint it seems IMPOSSIBLE, only way i've been able to stop both of these from clipping is just to put a limiter on it. >.> Any feedback/advice will be welcome!

What software/plug-ins did you use to make this? I'd LOVE to hear these ideas in a full song! The first one reminds me of a Hans Zimmer movie music and the second one reminds me a lot of Oblivion and Skyrim music, which I LOVE. The only thing I'd change is perhaps make a more "dramatic" resolution, because you made some awesome build-ups! Anyhow I really enjoyed this and thanks for posting it, mate Keep up the brilliant work You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

For the strings I mainly used 'Symphobia' and an expansion pack for 'Nexus' called 'Dance Orchestra' The huge orchestral drums are in 'Stormdrum' and 'True Strike' Choirs are from 'Requiem Light' The snare/cymbal thing at the end of the first one was just the base drum kit from EZDrummer. Im still getting used to all these plugins, a buddy of mine just gave me his copy and im slowly trying out all the different sounds. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Can you give me some advise? How to begin? Ah, im a beginner myself. Best advice would be to sit down and just listen to pieces you find exciting. Attempt to recreate what you think made it 'exciting'. For example, a very simple melody and simple strings in the background throughout the most part. Its just the layering of sustained strings and the horns etc. that give it a HUGE sound. While staccato strings and horns drive the song's melody. (Like in mine, its just going up the E minor scale diatonicly, E -> F# -> G -> A. Rinse, repeat and harmonize) This is obviously backed up by the drum and bass style 'breakbeat' drums which give it a modern and again, driving feel. Oh, and stick to your guitar playing roots. The intro to my first one is just 'pedalling' off the low E string a la thrash metal style. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
