08.16.12 | What kinda genre is it? I'm gonna listen later, but what can I expect? |
Lakes
08.16.12 | i like to call it ambient but i don't really know what you'd classify it as
there's some piano and drums and it's kind of free-form |
Scoot
08.16.12 | my prediction: this list will get to 200+ idiotic comments, 1% of which will be about the song in question and 99% of which will be
pointless bickering |
Lakes
08.16.12 | you're probably right about that scoot |
Spec
08.16.12 | Is it the collab with Rest? |
Lakes
08.16.12 | haha no |
MagmaWalrus
08.16.12 | The song gets pretty interesting towards the end. I like it when the drums kick in. |
Lakes
08.16.12 | that was intended to be the climax of it all but i think i might have cut it too short |
Lakes
08.16.12 | whatever posty, i stopped making really bad music like a year ago though so yer loss! |
Lakes
08.16.12 | i don't know dude, maybe you could listen to it and decide for yourself |

auberginedreams
08.16.12 | i think it would be decent if you used a metronome or edited the tracks to keep everything in time. it's not like it's way off but using a metronome would make it sound better. |
Spec
08.16.12 | No metronome. |
Lakes
08.16.12 | huh |

08.16.12 | what program you using? is it recorded audio or MIDI? if it's MIDI, then as aubergine said, if you're working to a grid, quantize so it's all arriving on beat, and then you can move stuff around a bit to suit and give it a more human feel. it was mostly on but a few chords were out and it's kinda jarring. the kick was a bit boomy imo but was a good idea.
it's not too bad all things considered. i see what you're doing. instrumental stuff is hard cos you gotta work hard to create/keep interest. chucking heaps of shit in isn't always the answer but i'd add some subtle stuff, building up and layering as you go until the transition. |
Lakes
08.16.12 | it's recorded audio edited with audacity |
auberginedreams
08.16.12 | just record the chord sequence and loop it if you're having trouble keeping on time. |
Feels
08.16.12 | just gonna be honest, meh. it wasn't bad though. |
Lakes
08.16.12 | the main keyboard part is looped. the second part it leads into isn't, i'll see what i can do with that |
Chrisjon89
08.16.12 | not that you can't do cool things with Audacity, but have you tried/thought about using Pro Tools? if you're keen on working with audio.
if you like the idea of MIDI, you could check out something like Reason. you could probably find it on the net. just need a Midi to USB cable for your keyboard and you could use all the soft synths and effects and stuff. it's pretty sweet. MIDI is way easier to re-arrange too. |
Lakes
08.16.12 | i haven't really tried using anything other than audacity. haven't done much with midi, either, but i'd been planning on getting a usb cable for my keyboard |
Chrisjon89
08.16.12 | yeh man, I'd highly recommend getting a hold of Reason. Heard alright things about Ableton. Logic is cool if you have a Mac.
Or Pro Tools if you have your heart set on recording audio. So much more control and possibilities with your stuff. Just depends what suits you best. |
Pentagon
08.16.12 | In my opinion there was an awkward transition to the drum's part. Most of the song was quite boring, although the climax wiht the violins was alright and so was the piano outro |
