Hey guys!

For those of you who dont know me, I am working on sound effects and music for Skywind!

Here I will be posting samples of music for you guys to check out and give comments if you like!

Firstly, here is a main title theme:

Main menu soundtrack sounds amazing, it would be good if it built up into the epic bit a bit sooner though. Apparently the enchanted forest one isn't up though.

I concur with LASentry on this one.

Your tracks tend to start out average and then get really good at about 1/3 or half way.

I second this. Try adding some light strings at a very low volume in the background about the second bar into the intro. Then gradually increase their volume until they match the intro's level -10%. Also some Chorus or Sustain type effects would also add to the ambiance and give the intro more of a meaningful feel of a defined buildup. Basically, like in the studio, polish it up until is shines. 

I love the music. Very well done.

I think your music is very good, and i like the minimalistic feel to the enchanted forest tune when it builds up, and adding much else would make it lesser imo. at 2.59 I hear a very sudden pause made by the brass ensemble, and maybe you could make it fade out a bit there? 

edit: I have changed my mind, i don't see any reason to change the tracks..

Thanks for the comments guys! The mixes are not final on any of these so reverb, other processing, and general mix stuff will be addressed once all the actual music itself is done. Just want to get the rough mixes out there for you guys to check out.

Here is a battle music for a harder than normal type of a fight:

well i can only speak for myself but this doesn't sound (or feel) like Elder scrolls music to me, the rhythm seems to be a bit off in the main title (a bit spastic maybe? and not quite militant enough to give that epic feel) and why not use the original melody?

the forest and battle music too, great work! just doesn't feel like the elder scrolls, personally i think it gave off more of a zelda feel than anything else

now please understand, i know it took allot of time and talent to put these together, i just wonder if they really belong in this game?

personally i think sticking to the original melody would sound great! 

this is an entire elder scrolls arrangement

just imagine that with the violin replacing the lead guitar and a cello section replacing the rhythm and harmony?

now again, just my opinion i'm looking forward to whatever epic soundtrack makes it into the final release :)
