Cinematic trap · The Sync Vault

Cinematic trap

What’s going on class! Today I got a real interesting piece of work I want to share. Recently Glenn and I had a conversation that lead me to change the way I thought about sync. I use to think you had to be good at cinematic and composing and had to create the most complex and detailed track known to humanity. Now after reflecting on our conversation I realized there is so much more to sync, so much variety and different applications. I decided to try my hand and combine orchestral music with hip hop.This is what I created, I would love to hear your guys feedback. Overall I really like this track it short sweet and to the point(unlike this post😅).

Few key points I would like feedback on are:

The mix: how does the overall mix sound? Is the clarity there? Does it sound muddy? If so what advice would you suggest to help me get this track over the finish line.

Next is the 808: I only created one 808 pattern and let the rest of track do the work to create the various. Should I reconsider and possibly add more variation to the 808?

The arrangement: I opted in for a different arrangement than your traditional instrumental. It has a short intro that leads to the hook. After it heads to a verse and finishes with the final hook and a sting. From your guy’s experience does this meet the standard for sync?

Finally The orchestration: does it sounds too cliché? Should I add extra cc information to further the instrumentation? I made sure to keep this as simple as possible, I have a bad tendency to over produce.

I will be posting more music of this variety until I hit my goal of 10 trap orchestral projects.

Enjoy.
