I like everything but I'm not sold on that lead sound from about 40 seconds in, for me it sounds a little GM clumsy

Nice chilled feel

Happy New Year everyone!

Darek, I agree with Rich regarding synth at 40 secs. Everything else is nice.

Here is another idea

Heh, 2018 was about taking a step back and focus on what is most important. Side projects killed, my little company killed, most studio gear sold (all willingly). Overall 2018 has been astounding, especially the last 3 months. New job, new home, newborn Son in December. The new home part will be featured on national tv in March

Now, I hope, I can do some music again in the near future, albeit laptop production. The new home is a significant improvement over the old one we did not incorporate a studio space in the new home, so for now all the good stuff rests (dynaudio's, echo audiofire) in a closet space. .

Hope I didn't miss too much over here, but by the looks of it things are getting rather quiet .

I've put some drums here. Any thoughts on this? Is kick too low?

This is a lazy cover. Just a simple remapping of instruments from a MIDI file I downloaded.

ill listen if you do this one

If I can find a MIDI of that loop I'll probably do a hardstyle cover as I purchased the Rob Papen collection in 2018 and yet to fully explore RAW & kick instruments. Flammie has a kind of syncopated machine gun rhythm to it.

I've actually been searching for Secret of Mana figures to use for my videos.

I need to make music my priority this year. I wasted far too much time on social media in 2018. Did you know Stallone has three gorgeous daughters and Van Damme has one. Makes me want to move to LA. I'll join any caravan. I'll jump any wall! They all want to become Instagram models these days.

Some SOM MIDI files here: http://www.midishrine.com/index.php?console=sns

On Mac the current version of QuickTime Player can't play MIDI files, but QuickTime Player 7 can.

Okay, that Flammie loop is not there, I'll have to keep searching. If fail, I'll use Melodyne to extract MIDI from the audio. If fail, Ill just have to learn to play it by ear.

In other gaming news...



And here are some more of my dope ass lyrics.

^^^You guys are crazy!^^^

Happy New Year All!


So, a little note behind this.
A few days ago I was seeking inspiration through my old folders of quirky bits and chunks of music from days past.
Nothing seemed to stand out but I remembered seeing an old sample pack(which was so old I couldn't even tell you where I got it) that had some cool guitar one shots.
Started fiddling around and came upon one particular sample that stuck with me through out the day and eventually landed me pulling up my guitar and over dubbing it into Ableton.
It's a uppedy riff but what followed I did not expect as I just went with the following lead.
What was especially funny was that I was humming a lead vox chop. And I actually liked it enough to possibly put some vox chops of my own. (Oh gawd)
No, this is not my normal type of track but oddly enough it interested me enough to keep going.
Still undeveloped but the composition and arrangement of tones I am liking right off the bat. Hell, this is only really 45 minutes of work,even with 8 tracks of layering on the lead.
Contemplating shortening by 4 bars the intro but otherwise to my surprise it is coming together somewhat fast and complete...this is what I got,whatya think...to cheesy? lol

I think this has big potential

G00d work mate

I dont care if things are supposedly cheesy
