Guest Helper ET Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hehe, I like it. It kind of sounds like it came out of the 80's or something. I like the melodies over the chords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tht! tne Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 thanks for the nice feedback guys i feel like the melody is a little dull and the breakdown could be tighter hopefully i'm gonna be shredding arpeggios all over this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tht! tne Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 go import some of your own sounds or sample some in the sampleditor, add vst(i) and start ballin' out of control. i'm still not really sure about what vst(i)s do and how to get them i want to use some different samples too but not homemade ones made by me do you recommend sample CDs?

perunamuusi Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 go to http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/win95/PLUGINS_VSTI/ and get some free vst.synths to experiment with i'm not familiar with the renoise interface... do you have a midi keyboard to bash at..? anyway this one is free and looks pretty straight forward... http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Impulse/ find a nice preset then muck about with the ADSR envelope to get a grasp of shaping the sound then fiddle about with other nobs... there must be something in wiki about synthesis that you could refer to while experimenting... there's a whole bunch of fx there as well .. http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/win95/PLUGINS_VST/ keep on trucking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Promo Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I like the chords. Glad to hear some actual tracks of yours. Liking this vibe; reminds me of Karate Kid music. Nothing wrong with some nice cheesy chords. :grin: Be eager to hear how your stuff develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rook Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 haha, wah guitar at the end. Try adding some effects and reverb and delay and shiz to the melody, so it doesnt sound quite so nintendowy. Unless thats the way you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tht! tne Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 yeah it is just a little thing for me to practice guitar over my next track should incorporate some vsts once i figure out how to use them or i might just sample timestretches and buffer overrides from other records and sprinkle liberally edit: i put some pointer clicks in there to give the impression of opening and closing windows corresponding to the different measures but i forgot to do it all through that did seem a novel idea though and a very rough approximation of glitchiness since i'm just beginning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erichodge Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 sounds great for a beginner track... like was stated before, i think you'll make some much better stuff once you've got your own sounds/other samples going. send me a PM if you want any advice on VSTs and the like... i love this whole music making stuff so much i'm always happy to share info, knowledge, do whatever i can to help...

Guest yan_g Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 great when the beat comes in. i'd like it to have more punch tho, more high freqs. 0:40 is a hot spot too with the other melody, don't like how it stops speeding tho. good start anyway, i like the playfulness and the sound of the synths.

sneaksta303 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 not bad considering what you're working with. Why don't you want to use homemade samples though? Homemade samples add that "professional" quality that your track lacks (NO OFFENSE!!!) Also, listen to LUDD about the VST's, they are absolutely indispensable with a program like Renoise. I just started using Renoise last week myself, and have amassed a pretty large collection of VST's coutisy of the links presented in the "Mosca's free plugin list" thread. Check em out. All you have to do is create a VST folder wherever you want (the Renoise directory isnt a bad idea), and make sure you put all your vst files there (VST files usually end in .dll). Open Renoise, go to EDIT, then PREFERENCES, then click on (near the bottom of the box) the VST/Misc box. Then, once that is open, near the top, you'll see a place to tell Renoise where your VST directory is. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tht! tne Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Why don't you want to use homemade samples though? well i like the sounds already available from the different drum machines and i don't have a good enough drum kit to really sample it it'll be a long time 'til i can afford the roland v-drums i want edit: i agree, my tracks aren't professional quality yet i almost didn't post them but i want to be critiqued musically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinicalypse Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 well i certainly hope this is an unfinished track, because if it's finished then you've got a fundamental lapse in judgment when it comes to making music =D where to start? hmmm... the beat. i keep waiting for it to take off, as you've got the little two note thing drilled into your head, and the baseline is certainly peppy enough to induce headnodding... the groove from 12 seconds in to 29 seconds in is solid, however instead of progressing, the drums just kind of kitch while the track breaks down to that two note thing (and i have to toss in that i've left this track on instant-replay in winamp and those two notes are really digging into my head in a bad way... do something with them otherwise you're going to remain inherently limited there)... after the hitches when you stop the beat entirely, i mean, it's kind of anticlimactic, but then you do it 2-3 more times with that one bassline note stretched out while those TWO FUCKING NOTES DRILL INTO MY HEAD YEEEARRRGHHHh you've got a solid groove for the "main course" of the track... i'd suggest accentuating it, building up to some sort of cresendo, then of course having a "B" part or a harmony or whatever you want to call it... give the track another side, because that way when you do a kill or a stretched note and reprise the main groove it'll have more of an effect. but first and foremost, FOR FUCK'S SAKE GET RID OF THOSE TWO FUCKING NOTES#@$@# anyways i'm sure this will be received as a condescending putdown shit-talk or something, but in reality i tried to tell you all i think i know in the spirit of making a vastly superior track. i really shouldn't be wholesaling my musical theory, as it would be wise to keep the "formula" as it were fresh and new for myself, but still i can't help myself... go forth and do better, man, cuz as you duly noted you've got quite a long way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
