First, let me state that I only know the basics of mixing(volume adjustment and EQ) so I'll probably make some improvement to the track in the future when I learn more on mixing

Second, Any advice on how to improve on SOUND SELECTION?

I tend to spend a lot of hours just auditioning presets, which is really annoying especially when I ended up changing my mind after listening to my projects

And Sorry if you Audio Quality of the video is terrible

Tried making boss music but I got carried away and ended up with this.

Sorry for the poor audio quality😅.

Decided to make something In A major for Once.

Probably still needs some fixing.

I Had some fun with this one🙃.

I had some fun creating this one😅.

I help you don't mind the audio quality Reddit for some reason likes to compress videos that are uploaded😆.

I had fun creating this one.

This is what I've made so far and I'm out of ideas.

I've ran out of ideas, so for this is what I've made

I'm 17 and learning game dev as a hobby and with that being said learning music production too, is something also what I want to do. I'm in no rush and I'm ok with taking my time learning both skills.

This is my attempt at boss music.

Update: I just noticed that the audio is really compressed in this video so the bass and separation of instruments frequencies and really noticeable. So here's the link to the beat on my Google drive:

I'm 17 and learning game Dev as a hobby and of course with trying to learn the skill, music composition is necessary.

I'm also interested in learning music composition for the sake of making my own video game music for my projects.

I could probably pay someone else who has more experienced to make the game music for me but I'm not in a rush and I'm okay with taking my time learning music production.

Let me start off by saying I know nothing about guitar music theory and it seems to be more complicated compared to learning piano😅.

So it sounds kind of rough.

Apart from my first two projects the genre I've been making my beats and is Chiptune video game music,

For once I decided to make something different,

I don't really know what genre this is but it's giving Spanish music vibes.

And I couldn't completely avoid making it sound like it's from a video game, muscle memory I guess 😆.

Here's an updated version of it I decided to make the composition less complicated, it helps since I know nothing about guitar music theory:

I've run out of ideas on what to include in this beat.

Adding drums kind of ruins the calm vibe.

I don't know if I should add more instrument but I don't want instruments that serve no purpose.

Maybe I'll add a bass instrument but it sounds ok without one.

It just feels like it's complete even though it's kind of short.

This was suppose to be a recreation of the STARLIGHT ZONE Ost from Sonic 1 but I accidentally wrote this in a minor scale(D# minor) before realizing that the original OST is written in a major scale, I don't know if the issue stemmed from the ost being in a minor scale cuz the subordinate lead couldn't support the main lead anymore were some of their notes were clashing, so this forced me to partially rewrite the main lead and the subordinate lead.

And since I was in a different scale from what I initially wanted, I just decided to create something original from it and I ended up with this.

Any way this was what I wanted to recreate maybe next time😅:

This is supposed to be a recreation of the STARLIGHT ZONE Ost from SONIC 1.

Original OST:

https://youtu.be/NVoNyufMUpo?si=X-QjPjahBXvHQpr3

The original ost is written in a major scale but I initially never realized this, so I ended up writing in a minor scale(D# minor)

By the time I realized this mistake I was already halfway through completion so I just continued with what I made.

By the way didn't write a bass, maybe I'll do it later maybe I won't, what kind of like it without a base though.

The scale is C minor.

I'm also a noob at mixing, so it might sound off
