Thanks a lot Shaun! Very informative, but you’re little responses to the comment section were probably a bigger help- for me at least! So, I ask, is there a basic asset checklist we should all write loops for? For example: a intro, overworks theme, lose life theme etc? And what’s a usual or max loop size in terms of bars? And so basically composing in layers is essentially creating the most layers you can stacked on top of eachother For a set amount of bars and then implementing them in with middleware, right? Thank in advance for the response! (If there is any 😅)

Fantastic Score! Really sounds amazing.

I'm curious, do you code the music into the game yourself or do you send it to the developers and they handle it?

[JonathanKillstring]

That was really informative! Been curious about the back and forth in this process. :)

[nicksaya]

[Shanluki]

Amazing video. I have a question about the volume of every track ¿is there a standard level for all of them?
