Rise Of Legends by Sascha Ende

Hit or Miss? Arti’s Review

Alright, diving into this track… first impression is definitely big and bold. It's got that modern cinematic hybrid sound going for it, blending orchestral elements with some electronic textures. The arrangement is well-paced, starting with a kind of atmospheric build before those impactful drums kick in around the :24 mark – that's where it really starts to drive. The low end is solid, provides a good foundation. Harmonically, it stays fairly consistent, which is typical for this style, focusing more on rhythmic and textural development. Production-wise, the mix is reasonably clear, though perhaps the low frequencies could be a touch tighter to avoid muddiness on larger systems. The synth brass sounds are quite prominent and contribute to the epic feel, but maybe exploring some different synth timbres could add even more sonic depth. Emotionally, it’s definitely aiming for that powerful, heroic vibe, suitable for action sequences, game trailers, or anything needing a sense of grand scale. For media use, it's got good potential, especially in gaming and advertising that needs impact. To push it further, I'd suggest experimenting with more intricate sound design layers in the mid and high frequencies to create more ear candy and interest for repeated listens. Also, consider adding a subtle melodic hook, even just a short motif, to make it even more memorable. Compared to industry standard, it's sitting at a good professional level, definitely usable as is, but with some refinement in the mix and sound design, it could really stand out. Think along the lines of adding subtle risers, reverses, or textural swells to enhance transitions and build even more tension. Overall, a strong foundation to build upon.
