Lmms song 12.01

[Isaac]

Second try at song 12

[vision]

Wow, much improved. Well done. I do have to say, there is a melody I can't quite make out at 0:48. My guess it that the frequencies are outside my hearing range (I'm going deaf and can't hear anything over 13kHz). If I were to remix this, I'd move that melody to a different register to compensate for my listening handicap.

Keep up the good work.

[Isaac]

Thanks man. Yes, there is a melody there. And no, i have no idea what I was thinking. I have trouble hearing it too.

[Alter-Fox]

I like.
It reminds me of Portal.

[Isaac]

Thanks.


Ok you guys, but what do you all no like about this. How do I improve?

[vision]

I don't know what kind of sound you are going for. I can only tell you what I personally would change. So "improvement" is only an improvement to me, not you.

I guess I would a couple things. First, part of the main melody gets lost in the tremolo effect. I would either reduce the effect or move the melody to another voice (probably the later). And I think I would change the bass sound to something like a saw or square wave and drop it an octave. I like low, heavy bass.

If you want to give me the file I can play around with it. You might think it's interesting to hear a remix of your music?

[Isaac]

Thanks man! I'll have to try that.
Do you like The Who? I'm kinda trying to do what they did here with the keyboards, with out ripping them off completely.

I really like the keyboard solo at the start and at 6:40. But the whole song is great.

Also, I'm not really doing it in a rock and roll style. I kinda went off in a video game-ish direction.

Also here's the file you requested: http://isaacg.net/posts/song121.mmpz


edit:
Bach, the keyboard god: (head bang to this)

[vision]

I love The Who. That's probably my favorite track by them too. I'm on out of town on a job so I'll check out your LMMS file tomorrow when I get home.

[Isaac]

Sure, can't wait, but no rush. All the time in the world.

[vision]

I finally got a chance to play around with a little. Just a little. It's too easy to go crazy and mutilate other people's work, so I showed great restraint and only tweaked a few things. It doesn't sound a whole lot different than yours.

What kind of monitors are you listening through? I noticed your track sounds better through laptop speakers, which makes me think that's what you are using, haha.

[Isaac]

Haha. I'm using ear buds. I'll have to download it later. I'm currently in limbo, on a live disk, installing a new OS.

[Alter-Fox]

It occurs to me Vision probably already knows everything I'm learning taking my Live Sound Reinforcement course...

And ya, I like The Who too... though for the longest time I only knew the awesome songs and not what the band was (it was never me who put on the CDs).
Didn't they have a song that sounded a little like D1 game 18?

[Isaac]

Sorry, Alter. Maybe Vision knows.



Hey vision. I love it! I tired exporting it to share here, but I keep messing up. The tracking screws up: the player thinks the song is 17 seconds long but continues playing the whole song. Not sure how that happens.. Might be a problem with Amarok. But I bet I'm doing something wrong.


edit: nevermind! Got it. This is what vision posted. I like it.
