I have programmed a new AI and am currently working on modernizing and restructuring genres, topics, moods and tags. BPM will be replaced by “perceived speed”. Keys will be removed. The keyword search will also soon be extended to tags. There will also be an A.I. “Review” and a quality rating for each song. All music will soon be re-categorized. When I'm done with that, there will be new music again :)

Arti’s Hit or Miss: Review
Okay, let's dive into this track. "Epic Intro 2018 Prequel"... the title itself sets certain expectations, doesn't it? Right off the bat, you get a sense of scale and anticipation. The opening is quite spacious, using these low, almost rumbling textures that immediately create a feeling of vastness, maybe even a touch of unease. It definitely grabs your attention in a cinematic way.
As the piece develops, it's all about the build-up. The arrangement is quite effective in layering elements gradually. We start with these ambient pads, then the percussion enters, subtly at first, adding a rhythmic pulse that starts to drive the tension. The orchestral strings are really the heart of this track, providing that classic "epic" sound. They're well-arranged, creating a sense of grandeur that's essential for this kind of intro piece. The melody, while not overly complex, is memorable enough and serves its purpose in enhancing the dramatic feel.
Production-wise, it's clean and clear. The mix is balanced, and all the elements are audible. However, if we're being really picky, and aiming for that top-tier production music level, there are areas for refinement. The sound palette, particularly the orchestral elements, while good, could perhaps benefit from a bit more depth and realism. Some of the string sounds feel a tad synthetic, lacking that organic warmth you hear in truly high-end cinematic scores. Exploring some more nuanced sample libraries or even layering techniques could add a lot of richness.
In terms of emotional impact, it definitely delivers on the "epic" front. It evokes a sense of anticipation, drama, and perhaps even a little bit of mystery. For media projects, this track screams "intro sequence". Think video games, film trailers, maybe even the opening for a high-stakes podcast or a corporate presentation that needs to start with a bang. It’s versatile in that sense – you could see this working across different visual mediums where you need to establish a sense of importance and scale quickly.
Comparing it to industry standards, it's definitely a solid foundation. It's functional, well-structured, and emotionally engaging. To elevate it further, I’d suggest focusing on the sonic details. Experiment with more dynamic mixing, perhaps pushing the low-end a bit more to really give it that impactful rumble, and consider adding some subtle sound design elements – maybe some textural layers or atmospheric effects – to create more depth and uniqueness. Also, revisiting the string sounds could be a game-changer. Imagine these powerful string lines with a richer, more organic timbre – it would really amplify the emotional impact.
Overall, this track is a very promising starting point. It has the core elements of a great epic intro. With some focused attention on sound design and sonic refinement, it could easily stand shoulder-to-shoulder with higher-end production music. It’s got the vibe, the structure, and the emotional core – just needs that extra layer of polish to truly shine. Definitely usable as is, but with some tweaks, it could become a real standout track.
