This was something I actually composed as a tribute to our fallen in Vietnam. I even had a sample of real Vietnam sounds in there, for some reason I cannot hear the radio chatter I added in but it is fine nonetheless.

Re: This is what happens when you look at old war photos and have synths on hand.
I hear some real potential in there... the synths set the mood pretty well and the effects are good too.
Here's a suggestion for you:
It's loooong! Nearly 8 minutes is a long time to sit and listen to music that doesn't do much changing. Either shorten it down (no more than a minute) and make it an intro to something else, or add video (or even a slideshow), thus giving the listener something to help them see the scenes you're painting with the music.

I wanted to keep the changes simple, as it's supposed to emulate a 1980's war flick soundtrack. Plus the ending is all the war sounds. The chord changes are C, F, and G. The JD-800 is such a powerful beast even samples of it still sound massive!Originally posted by BriGuy1968 View PostLast edited by GuitarFanatic; 06-11-2017, 11:18 AM.Gear

It is your project, but I agree with BriGuy on shortening it or changing it up a bit.
Are you thinking of putting this to pictures and uploading to YouTube?Comment

Sync it up with a compilation of old war movie clips. Problem solved.Originally posted by GuitarFanatic View PostThe opinions expressed above do not necessarily represent those of the poster and are to be considered suspect at best.
