brian trageskin Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 there isn't much to say as this is just a synth patch. there's no context, so there's no meaning. my tip would be to structure these signals by combining them with other signals. which is more commonly called "music".

Guest ansgaria Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Oh, look. there isn't much to say as this is just a synth patch. there's no context, so there's no meaning. my tip would be to structure these signals by combining them with other signals. which is more commonly called "music". It's this guy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffa Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 The general feel of the track is great, the patch you used has real prominence and feel, personally i would have expanded on the section 0.55-1.25. There's a real tension and sense of build that counteracts with the boldness of the opening parts, build on that, adding drums underneath and more choral parts/ slowly evolving slow attack strings or pads to correlate with the working of the bass rhythm, I guarantee you it will sound good, but thats just my opinion. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing. i'll try to add just a kik line (a mute kik), no snare no hit-hat or other drums.... they would pollute the sound. slow attack strings is so foregone. drastic attack strings is destabilizing. all your tips do not evolve the track. they just push it in a conformist way. i'm trying to do something new.

Jaffa Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 How about you string a load of samples of elephants fucking and pig noises underneath the fart kick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's this guy again. But he's correct. no hes not, music is whatever you want it to be. you telling me youve never heard a solo piece before - get real! some of the best music recorded is just a single instrument if he dosnt want to 'conform' as he puts it, to our preconceived ideas of what music should be, then thats his artistic prerogative saying that, this is the sort of synth line I love, id write drum parts and white noise pads around it to suit it, keeping it all to a minimum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fudog Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 ^ what he said basically There isn't much to say as as your comments. have no honour, no compassion or empathy for another and at their root are self serving and arrogant, so there's no meaning. My tip would be to structure your words by combining them with sentiments that communicate understanding and curtesy. which is more commonly called "good manners".

Friendly Foil Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I REALLY liked it. Great sense of space. Badass sounds. If you want to make it better/to satisfy the commom watmmer, you should probably add an uninspired 303-acid-like-thing, some crappy sounding samples of analogue drum machines and some warm nostalgic synths in the background that plays the same two chords over and over again. If you did that, I'm sure loads of people on here would be all over it! .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke viia Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 just don't add any guitar, for the love of god. guitar does not belong in watmm. only shitty acid basslines and modulated kikbass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke viia Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 i know. i don't think enough people got to hear your guitar joke the first time. i'll be tellin that one around the campfire for many moons. (ok ok, smarmy mode off) i'm still curious what this track 'ki 4' is about - did you write it with a subject in mind ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ok ok, smarmy mode off) i'm still curious what this track 'ki 4' is about - did you write it with a subject in mind ? a guy who plays a synth solo creating danceble beautiful electronic music without using kik. so, not ambient. ambient is pathetic. raster-noton is pathetic and all the label like it. they make ambient and when want to make more danceble stuff they use kik like all. my track is just one storm. i don't like classic tracks made of different level (bass-kik-string-melodie-etc....), this kind of composition is too traditional too ties to pop-rock paradigma. guys....today there are thousand of electronic music label...but don't you think they are "the same shit different day"? remember kid-dino: dance will be without kik.
