Note: this is in no way an attempt to steal RyanZ's thunder. I had recently looked at his thread again today then realized I hadn't uploaded the cues I made along with my shuffle cover cues (which is why they're in a similar style), found at in previous threads of mine, so decided to do so now. Again, sorry in advance! :v Lifeline start/First Attempt: jubjub449.minus.com/lJChUFdhUTV1gFinal Answer 1 (mimics the current Final Answer cue albeit a bit slower): jubjub449.minus.com/lbunohVl04bUu5Wrong/Second Attempt (similar to the first attempt, with some instruments intensified and the pitch lowered one semitone): jubjub449.minus.com/l7R6A4QqFzooXFinal Answer 2 (even slower, lower by one semitone, different percussion): jubjub449.minus.com/lbcuK5qZdtGsgt

Right, starting of with good things. I really like the chord progression in the cues! The percussion is alright but a little bit too heavy/too loud, but that makes little difference. The Final Answer 1 cue is, IMHO, much better than FA2 cue. FA1 gives off the same vibe as the Super Millionaire FA1 cue but in Shuffle style. I love it!
One thing you might consider is that in Shuffle music, there is no pitch change, but instead, there's a layer build-up going on. So possibly instead of lowering the pitch you might want to just add some extra instruments like heavier percussion etc. Same goes for FA2 cue.
I have to say, though, I'm really impressed by your work! I can literally hear these cues being in use in the real show. Well done!

Very well done! I especially liked the first cue. It had that dramatic feel that Millionaire has always tried to maintain. Keep it up

Yeah, noticed that literally every music cue in the Shuffle format is in the key of E, and initially just intensified the instruments for the second attempt set, but decided the difference was too subtle (probably because in the first one, as you mentioned, the percussion was already loud, as well as some other instruments being very prominent) I'll redo these when I can and see how it comes out :3

These are really amazing! Would you mind if I used some of them in my game in the Fan Games section?

I really like this composition. I actually think it would work great as question background music during the main game. It's much more memorable than the question background music that they use on the show.

I agree with Regisfan. This is definitely better than what is used on the show now, and I'd love to see more cues in this style.
If you create more cues, I'd love to use them in a project I'm part of. I can't reveal specifics about it yet, however, but it is Millionaire-related.

Wow, these are even better! I could imagine this is roughly what it would sound like if the actual composers made it. Well done! Thumbs up! Handshake!
