I uploaded this with permission from the client, who was cool enough to allow me to share it with you guys so everyone can gain value from it. Should I post more of these here? Let me know! • REQUEST A TRACK REVIEW: alexmoukala.com • LEARN HOW TO WRITE TRAILER MUSIC: goo.gl/2vJ8cE

[@DrumXX1995]

Definitely more of these... awesome!!!

[@joshuawatson2303]

Yes you should make this a thing!

[@VisualAudioV]

Yeah more of these would be amazing.

[@scissorteddylou]

YES Please :)

[@richardwilliamsmusic]

Yea, this feedback is fantastic! We need more!

What you offer, Alex, is beyond great! I tried Alex's feedback service on my track a few months ago and it was really helpful, definitely will use it again. Totally recommend it. I wouldn't usually write a feedback, but it is just such a great investment. Such a great opportunity to identify your weaknesses and work on them. All the best!

[@AlCapwndYou]

Very insightful, Alex - and super helpful to newbies such as myself. As long as your clients are cool with publishing out these, I would be very grateful to see these. Having one of these as a monthly or bi-weekly video would be awesome. Or adding these to your Patreon as a value-added. Seeing practical critique is very helpful. Once I have something critique worthy (let's make that an unofficial goal for the end of the year) I will make sure to get your review. First thing I immediately noticed was the extremely used familiar chord progression and the main phrase repeating a bit too often for my tastes. What I took away is that there is a sweet-spot for build-ups. Not too much, and not too little, and keep things interesting by adding elements and dynamics along the way to keep interest.

[@maack87]

I used the service and can recommend it. Mr. Moukala uses time to explain details of your work and how to improve it. It helped me to focus on complimenting my tracks even at an early stage of music production. 5/5 would use again

[@ryangrech]

Great video Alex. Honest but very useful feedback!! I also say kudos to the client who subjected himself/herself to constructive criticism openly. Well done!

[@OPTactics]

Man I wish I had found you three years ago. Gonna be watching all your videos.

[@J-A-Music]

24:46 Have you already thought about a beatbox career? :D Great video man!

[@sfcomposer]

Believe it or not, your choir and percussion sounds and beatboxing are very helpful haha

[@epiczeven6378]

When you said 1) Rises and Hits 2) Percussion... I was like "hmmm, I really love working with percussion, I could definitely give it a try" Thank you for inspiring us Alex :)!

[@jasonputradarmawan]

your review is very detailed! awesome video

[@kotchmusic9628]

Great video, feel inspired to make more music

WOah now that's one proper review

[@kurttomlinsoncompositions1067]

"Yeah, that sounds great, bro!"

[@TheDangerupahead]

You should make an orchestral arrangement, but accapella with only your voice :D

[@_MoshikoAz_]

can you explain next viedo how to choose the BPM for orchestral music ?

[@tusharsharma7706]

Love your music Man you r great cool

[@jmxl5431]

Hey Alex is it possible that you are giving your own samples(ALXM) for free to download? It would be very nice!!!

[@PaulCassidyOrchestrations]

This review service is a great idea Alex. But does if have to be trailer music we submit to you for the service? I compose purely orchestral music, for a few years now but it's not trailer music. Having said that I would love to submit a track and get your professional feedback on it. Let me know before I spend my hard earned cash ;)

[@thatstrangereality9737]

so helpful, thanks!

[@davidklemencz]

WOW YEAH :)

[@loot6]

White noise hits? Is there a library for that or something, or how do you normally achieve that?

[@shivam_musician]

What are these GDYN, CTD and AVAI libraries, containing all these whoosh-hits and downers, etc?

[@csigarena]

Nice video idea and execution! Re-thinked climax part of this piece: soundcloud.com/mester-csiga/alexreview-remix Kind of a conversation between horns and strings. Let me know how you feel about this one. Any comments are welcome. And also sry for my english.

[@lazh2333]

Is there a possibility that someone will do the subtitles in Spanish for their videos? You have followers in Latin America who have trouble translating all your tutorials, because several of us do not speak English as fluently. We really appreciate your work and that's why we ask for this. (Translation by Google translator)

[@RonenSakal]

Great Video Thanks!!! But it should be 2 audio graphs cause its stereo? or its something else in this daw cause i work with cubase and its show left and right...or this track is mono :O confused xD

[@davidpontius7031]

It's stereo. FL Studio just shows the combined waveform because when you work with audio clips, it's assumed you aren't editing them, but are arranging them - so the additional information you get from having both left and right graphically represented isn't necessary and just occupies more space on the screen. When you want to edit audio files inside FL (which is a bad idea, use another application for that) there is a built-in plugin called Edison. And in that plugin, you can toggle the visual settings to show spectral as well as stereo waveforms.

[@florianp9184]

Can somebody tell me WHY OK GOOGLE IS ACTIVATING ON MY PHONE AT 21:52 ? xD Great review anyway, it helps a lot Alex :)

[@sergepetukhov1198]

Hello, Alex! Before i send you some track for feedback, please answer to me to one little question - should i convert MIDI to Audio before i start mixing? My mixes from MIDI do not suit me. Thank You!

[@VisualAudioV]

Serge Petukhov most do as it's easier to tweak.

[@BIGGERmac14]

What plugin is used in this video to show frequencies?

[@buzz237B]

dope

[@scissorteddylou]

so, will you upload every review on to your channel? i'd love to hear what do you think of my music:)

[@AlexMoukala]

I might upload a few, but not all of them or it'd be too much for the channel to take haha. You can request a review at my website: www.alexmoukala.com

[@donaldsuitemusic8902]

Hey Alex: I asked you what do Composers earn to do a feature film.I found an answer to my question.Chance Thomas composer The Lord of the Rings Online: Mordor (Video Game).Told us 2 years ago in a seminar a NO name composer should get $250.per finished min of music so if you do a 2 hr movie it would be $30,000.That's not to say what people will pay of course.

[@radiusone216]

Donald Suite Music I’m not a professional so don’t have first hand experience but if you search on the spitfire audio channel there’s a composer on there who talks about how much he makes with tv and film music he said that tv was more profitable than independent films for him and that he hasn’t sold a single track on iTunes

[@donaldsuitemusic8902]

I got the answer from my Composer teacher.It is above Thanks.

[@VisualAudioV]

Do all the reviews go online? :)

[@AlexMoukala]

The Joker No, I made close to a hundred reviews and they're all private, this one is an exception.

[@VisualAudioV]

Alex Moukala sounds great Alex! All the best.

[@VisualAudioV]

The reason I was asking was that it's pretty good exposure for those getting reviewed too.

[@joseph_burdock]

Hey Alex, I have recently started getting into producing orchestral music, so your tutorials/reviews have been very helpful to me. I'm curious though, do you use notation software to write your intro, verse, bridge, etc. before you start assembling the track in FL? Thanks!

[@AlexMoukala]

I personally don't. There's nothing wrong with doing that if it feels comfortable for you however!

[@joseph_burdock]

Ah ok I see, thanks!

[@Michael_H_Nielsen]

Constructive criticism Alex. I think you should have a list of keywords before you record your feedback. You repeat yourself a lot.

[@bryangabay9907]

its like call of duty mobile intro 🤣

[@DarshanSenTheComposer]

Lol he made Despacito!

[@oommggdude]

Such an overused chord progression...
