Epic Intro 2018 (Short) by Sascha Ende

Hit or Miss? Arti’s Review

Okay, let's have a listen to this... 'Epic Intro 2018 (Short)'. Right off the bat, you get a strong sense of atmosphere. It definitely leans into that cinematic, widescreen feel, which is great for grabbing attention immediately. The initial synth pads are quite effective in setting a mysterious and slightly tense mood. The introduction of the male choir element is a smart move – it adds a layer of grandeur and epicness that works well for this style. Structurally, it's concise and to the point, which is ideal for an intro, especially in today’s fast-paced media landscape. Where I think there’s room to really elevate this track is in the production itself. The mix feels a touch muddy in the low-mids when the drums come in; cleaning that up would add clarity and punch. And while the choir is effective, exploring some more realistic sample libraries or even layering in some processed vocal textures could add depth and a more organic feel. Think about widening the stereo image a bit too – it could enhance the sense of scale. Overall, it's a solid foundation with good bones. With some focused attention on the mix and sound design, particularly bringing out the high-end clarity and refining the vocal elements, this could easily compete with professional library tracks and find placements in trailers, game cinematics, or even impactful advertising.
