Hello

Comp1337 told me to post this song up on this forum. I was totally against this so if you think this sucks, don't blame me. It's an Atmosphere type song that i made in FL Studio 6.

Just out of curiosity, why are you not allowed to post hyperlinks?

I will play the song and see if its good. If its not good then I suppose I can put up a song! It won't be by me, but it will be cool.


I hope.

yeah... now he tells me to post my previuos song to...

i cannot post hyperlink because i'm a new user... it's an anti spam thingy

My responce to the first song....meh.

My responce to the second song....double meh.

"your song" is the original soundtrack to elfen lied... have you really made the original soundtrack to elfen lied yourself?

I said I didn't write it.

I said I didn't make it.

I just said I liked it

i don't think it's very nice of you to compare my songs to some professinal-made song... but you're right... mys songs are really... meh

Fair? I wasn't compairing them, actually. I just thought this was a thred to put cool songs. I think if you yanked the vocals in Searcher then it would be roughly ten to four times better.

i know... though i think this should be a thred where you put songs you made yourself

Right. Yanking song in 3...2...1

Yanking?

I like the song, it fits with the video perfectly......

Actually your second mention of http://www.+ is actually a link, so you can post links now.

Dimention dude, click edit on the post and note the syntax of the fixed link URL. You need to use URL tags on PHPBB.

[edit] I like the peice... the vocoder is a little bit meh, but it's a good mellow techno peice. Could use a little more pickup in the middle maby, but pickup is hard to master when you're first playing with FLP.

So that is two votes for losing the voice. On second listening, I actually like it more. The first one that is. The second one is just a little too bland.

It's a nice piece. Rather far from professional I'm afraid though.

First thing that got me was the fact that not only are your drum samples lacking oomph, your arps sound like they came out of a casio.

THe tune is nice and pleasing. THe vox sounds like a talkbox, and that was overdone when cher did it. You would do better with a soft sounding female vocalist.

While it's pretty, it lacks substance. If you were doing an R&B type track I would understand, but the reason some R&B/hiphop/rap tracks sound as good and full as they do is because of many many dynamics and attention to small details.

Summary: Don't stop, jsut learn from your past and get better with every song you write.

The absence of dynamics is the result of doing the work on a pure software sampler (i.e only on the computer). You can only make a model that way, something that will give an idea of the real song.
In order to have give some flesh and body to the sound, one needs real instruments/synthesizers, and (if possible) real musicians too. That is, one must invest in a home studio. Then you can rework your takes on the computer. But doing everything on the computer simply doesn't work.

He does have a pretty nice synthesiser.

actually, Comp1337... the Casio WK-3700 is not a very good peice of equipment...

Yes and no, you'll never get a perfect sound out of computer but you can get pretty close to what you want. I would want to remix anything I intended to professionally release with a midi controller and as many real instrumentals as possible (you shouldn't bother trying to do real instrumentals to replace synths that aren't pretending to be an instrument, but the ones that are definitely). But for proof of concept and amiture work the all digital version will sound just a slight bit worse then the professionally remixed version.
