Birthday is over :( First Cubase Attempt - please review
This is my first try to make somethign in cubase. I have no idea what I'm doing in this program. I just decided to dive right in.
Please give me some feedback I realize there are little errors in the export. I have no idea about this program, so I had no idea how to fix them try to enjoy anyway! Thanks in advance!
edit:Birthday is over. Was pretty lame. Office pool gave me $80 tho!
Leifo,
The intro is really sweet,that synth it is pretty overused imo,that low low LOUD LOUD clap is kinda distracting also and the kick needs to be better EQ.
In overall,the track is nice,kinda weak,need more things and varations and a stronger melody imo,also try to work more in the EQ because at parts sounds really unclean,above all the kick but anyway is a pretty enjoyable track .
Kopi =o.

Thanks for feedback! About claps.. i ddint realize that the midi somehow overlapped.. dunno fixed
about the eq: Yes it sucks! i installed my waves bundle realizing that "hey! these are vst" (hopefully) fixed
about the melody and synth usage.... yeah i jsut used whatever alot are very common ... I tried to fix the bd as best aspossible.
I'm now uploading the 135 bpm *fixed* version. I hope i've corrected some of your gripes! But again, thanks for even listening! please keep it coming guys!
here is the 135 bpm version. let's hope for the best right?

Nice the slower version sounded pretty crap
but the 135bpm!!!! brings all the elements together and it sound friggin awesome
This for a Cubase n00b is great and sounds professional this is even some good sh1t if you were a Cubase master!
THe start is a little bland up until about 0:30 then it all comes together and the rest is great!
Nice tunage you got there

Thanks airscape! Yeah the first version sucked... bad.. but, I brought it out back and put it down I'm glad the 135 version is making a better impression! Im glad anyone is liking it. I will have to make a real version of this song now with the melodies. This version is the same stuff just looped over and over, needs more obviously. I will work on it tomorow. Hopefully having a new version as soon as tomorow afternoon! Thanks again!

This is among the best ive heard on this forum, of course not technically (mastering,mixdown etc)... But the melodies and some of the used instruments are really sweet, perhaps a little cheesy but it really creates a nice atmosphere
