New song (full of Reason goodness)

[BenJammin]

Been tossing this one around for a couple of months. Took a beat from another bit I worked and meshed it with this. Interesting feel, I'm kind of partial to it myself (but then again, why would I write it if I didn't like it, lawl).

"What We Become"

[Raayl]

first half i was not digging very much at all. it felt very plastic and uninspired sounding. the second half however was the exact opposite. rich, full, warm and with a vintage/lounge feel that was pretty tangible.

also you need to mix your instruments lower and your beats higher. you just have to.

[BenJammin]

Anyone else?

I'll take anything--I like it; I don't like it; go die in a fire.

Your choice. :)

Jamey's write, better than the dolphin music.


I actually really like this. Way better than anything you've ever made with your looper. :p I don't know exactly how to describe what I like, it's just a great texture. And Sade's wrong, keep the beat where it is. Plus, I think we may have different definitions of "vintage/lounge."

fail opinion is fail

[jordan-z]

cool stuff, it would sound better the the beats brought up

[naut]

this needs like a fat Shadow beat behind it to give it some balls. nice melodies but those modules kind of ruin it. i'd like to hear something a little more natural. AND FADE OUT THE END YOU SON OF A BITCH.

[Riouken]

I really enjoyed that.

Really great stuff.

I liked all of it but really hated it when those strings played the highger pitches. I don't think that MIDI sound treats it well at all.

I agree with the beats being higher also.

Compositionally, melodically and harmonically I enjoyed all of it. I jsut didn't like the "sounds" so much. Minus the piano at the end. Unfortunatley, I lack the knowledge to point you in the direction I am thinking of when it comes to sound recording etc.

But yeah, wicked stuff.

I will once I learn how to fade out in Reason. :(

Automation.

[BenJammin]

Automation.

Beg your pardon?

[naut]

fade the song out with the automation feature in Reason. you know, the little line representing volume and the markers you can add etc. same as in GarageBand.

[BenJammin]

Oh. Nice. I didn't know about that. Okay, that should be easy to figure out then.

[EADGC]

You could also export it and fade it out with whatever software you want, which is what I do.

[naut]

or he could do it the easy way. :lol:

[jake_kinney]

I've listened to this song once or twice every time I've read the forum since you posted it....I think you did a pretty bang up job on it.

[EADGC]

or he could do it the easy way. :lol:

Because my way is so difficult. It takes about 10 seconds. :lol:

[naut]

dude...come on now, don't be ridiculous. i don't care how long it takes. whether it's ten seconds to do it your way, or one second to do it within Reason - not really the point. it's just absurdly unnecessary to take a song out of one program and put it in another just to accomplish the trivial task of fading it out. that's a serious wtf.

[EADGC]

o i c

[katana_manatee]

This is nice Ben, it kinda makes me think it should be the intro to a tv show or game music or something.

Your melodies have certainly been improving since I last heard you. :)
