Beast And Famine - Abec

It's nice to see so many people doing cinematic tracks. Seems to be an underappreciated genre.

Enjoyed this track and look forward to hearing more from you.

Nice little cinematic bit. The sound quality on some of the samples seems kind of low. For instance when that background bass hits without any instruments playing it sounds like it has a reduced bit rate distortion applied. I point this out because I wonder if you were going for more of a tribal drum for that part. I also wonder how "natural" you want to make this sound because parts of it sound good and organic, whereas others sound totally artificial (As in synths and audio editors being used).

0:10 - It sounds like the horn or whatever that is is sampled and there's some popping when it changes notes. Musically it sounds good, but the popping takes you out of the music.

0:24 - 1:10 - This section sounds great. Loving that folky guitary-sounding instrument. After the guitar cuts out, it sounds like the reverbed bass drum has some bit rate distortion on it. Don't know if that's intentional.

1:23 - seems like the bird call sound needs a little more reverb added, but that's being nit picky.

2:00 - Sweet thunder =)

2:07 - the primary reverse sound is cool, but I think it should be used more sparingly as a background sound effect. It sounds eerie in moderation, but it's annoying over the vocal. I think you should just have eerie sound effects going behind the vocal and remove that sound altogether. The other reversed sound effects also sound like they have bit rate distortion on them.

All in all though, it gets the point across and it's pretty cool. What software and sample banks are you using just out of curiosity?
