Well here is the piece:
https://soundcloud.com/viktorenvall/anxiety-horrorthriller-trailer-music

It is in the horror genre. It's easy for me to find flaws when I created it, but how does it sound to anyone who haven't heard it 100 times?
I'm trying to get a 100 % professional quality to my mixes.

Thank you for any feedback! Smiley

Yeah, that's pretty good! If anything, it sounds like what you would expect in a horror genre. Low sounds, tremolo strings, weird sounds interjecting, slow and steady drums pounding in the distance, etc. So I wouldn't give it an A on cutting-edge creativity, but it does the job well.  Hand Thumbs Up Right

Pretty cool! You can definitely get a better sound easily, though: it's all a bit too dull for a horror track in my opinion, the large reverb is engulfing everything. Everyone is like sitting piled up on one another at the back of the stage. You'll get better horror by bringing forward and really in-your-face parts of the orchestra. The dissonant violins for example can have a really nice stressful effect if they sound like they are just behind your ear...  Grin

The heartbeat at the end sure sounds nice, and who doesn't like a heartbeat sound in a horror track ? Wink but I don't think we hear it before at all, so it's kind of coming completely out of nowhere.

Don't be afraid of using silence! Well, you should be afraid of silence Wink but use it! In a horror track silence is the most important instrument of all! Just watch and listen to the film Ring (1998, the original Japanese one). Or Dead Space for that matter. In the soundtrack nothing ever happens. And then BOOM! violins playing horrible clusters fortissimo! Obvious, but still gets everyone every time.
