Hey all...
Well, I just started in on the trance/techno scene from the production side. A little ruthless on the sleep :crazy: seeing as I did this track for about 16 hours straight to get it decent, then another 4 hours of tweaks and new lines.
Anyways, what I really would like is comments/crits/suggestions on how to make this a better track :D
Track Info:
COMPLETION STATUS:80% (Work In Progress)
Style: Video Game BGM/Hard Techno
Title: Game On! (A tribute to 90's action video games)
Artist: DJ Vagabond
Length: 3:26
Bitrate: 320 kbps
Stereo: Yes (fully equalized)
Description: This track was originally to see if I could transpose a theme into FruityLoops from MIDI (the theme in question comes in at 1:48. I would credit the original composer of the theme but there is no encoded author info or name attached to the file), then I started building arpeggios and chord progressions before and after it and before I knew it I, I had a bassline going and then the kick and the whole thing came together for me. It started to sound a LOT like CastleVania music from the NES and SNES games and some other action game themes, hence I decided that instead of tweaking the synths, I would leave them sounding 90's synth'd. I personally think it adds effect and body to the track :D

I would appreciate your comments, suggestions, criticisms (as long as they are somewhat mature), etc |

| Haha, fun song. Not my style at all, but it sounds like what it seems you were going for. The percussion is all very minimal, dunno if that was intended. I dunno, it's hard to critique because I have no frame of reference, so congrats for a rather original track. |

New version up.
Adjusted kick drum for more oomph, redid some of the snare work, and volume adjusted the bassline a tiny bit |

It sounds allright, I'm not that familiar with this kind of music. Don't know what to comment really. You should know this better than me :)
For your first tune you did a good job.
Quote: A tribute to 90's action video games <-- I think this would fit in Mega Man or something! |

| Well, I'll see where the future takes me in relation to more game music. This was my first real track that I felt good enough to release :D and I'm still working on it :D |
