[dance?] No! This Is Better! (.it, .mp3) None yet... mmm...

jmkz · August 09, 2010, 06:37:17

Hello again! Ehm... I do this song a week ago and I don't publish it because I was not happy with it :\ but after a (jeje) near 30 edits (best said savings/backups) and two or three after Jojo helps me on the highpass trick, I have finished. The history of the name was where I start with this, but it doesn't like me the intro and some patterns, really not. So, I'd say (really, think :idea: ): No!, This is better! an there is when I'd do the chipy arp

and after some work there is the result. My favourite part is the chipy arp at the fourth patterns, nice for me

Finally I could finish it without OpenMPT hacks!! a nice module...

Comments are welcome...

Can you use another uploading service?

While I can't complain about the technical side of the song, I didn't like it as much as I liked Transition Zone. The main melody doesn't work with me, sorry.

Otherwise it has a nice sound, the percussions fit the track well.

I have updated the links, moved from Mediafire to Google Sites.

Well, I agree with you, but, I'm taking away for a while the mptm's and VST(i)'s because I jus want get skills with modules, a little of this, another little of something, but anyway, at the end songs made with VSTi's likes me more (not only VST's, like For A Word by Zaphoid that's nice). This song is like an adventure, takes me less time to do one of this kind.

The melody was a bit strange, but the technical side was better. Agree with Oliwerko.

I agree with Oliwerko. The melody doesn't work too well with the rest of the song. Also, at 0:48, there's a square wave, which I think has too much stereo separation. I like stereo separation, but this was a bit too much. But that's just me.

Are this eligible for a remix? (well any song can be) When I was making this I was thinking in a remix of this but not yet, I need your opinions, if not too much to ask.

Notes as i'm listening:

The interesting gate/arp starting off the song needs some FX, and needs a more inspired chord progression. It reminds me of a lot of my piano suites when i first started composing, BEFORE i learned about good chord progression. You have some good ideas about song structure, but the music needs some seasoning, usually done with good FX. I can see the talent, but there seems to be a lack of inspiration, and instead a focus on using tracking software!

I "make" music to use something to practice, music is not my fort as I feel with sound engineering (I'm not a pro and also I have inclination to the video production), is hard get good results in sound mixing and those things. I prefer to say that my music is experimental. A song requires inspiration, skills, practice and some other, I do it in a progresive form, my creativity and inspiration, many times starts with a sound instrument (vsti or whatever), a nice sound -for me- and then I do a melody, bassline or an arp as this song was started with this. Then I add drums (hehe, I am a drummer without a drumset) and I add some other like improvements later. I'd appreciate the coments and recomendations by others, to be more involoved in music as is not my fort.
