What are your top 5 favourite songs from that album if I may ask? Yeah I completely forgot about them to tell the truth. I only heard that one song once, and never pursued any interest in looking for them further (I was still more of a music noob =P) Hmmmmm, I'd have to hear it to pin point what it is exactly, but does it sound like buzzing? of feed back? or what?
Hmm. Pain, School, Confrontation, Love and either Trauma, Accident, Loser, Sign or Betrayal. You still are. ^^ I'll upload it on Soundcloud, then. I want you to hear it anyway.
LOL. Nice list. Mine would have to be Trauma, Isolation, Pain, Confrontation, and Loser or Mystery. I think. Hard to pick but those are definitely my favs. .... I could kill you, you know that? Sweet, let me know when it's up, I really want to hear it. Also, did you finish the other one?
Mystery? You managed to surprise me. >.< I seriously doubt that. DD Nope, I didn't finish it. The process is that stuff is going on in my head when trying to fall asleep, I try to record a short version of it then (which makes the falling asleep part a lot harder) or the next day. Then I make a listenable version, then I get bored. >.< And then I post about the more interesting ones here, like the current.. thing. Not really a song, that's for sure. >.>
Really? How come? It's a great song! I absolutely love Marcela Bovio's voice. The song itself though it just great though. Well I am eager to hear it, but I know how that goes. I always create little unfinished projects. Haven't done so much in MB2 vs BM1 though. Mostly all my creative juices go to just drums for music to rock to with my guitar. ^.^
I get ya. I enjoy it a lot though ^.^ Just checked it out. Very well done, I like it more than your previous track. I loved the steady beat of the subtle drums, and everything. The cracks and "noise" you hear is called "Peaking". Peaking occurs when multiple instruments played at the same time (usually deep bass tones) are played together in a way that exceeds the given range of recording frequency in your music. BM2 is supposed to impliment in the next update they have a way of tracking Peaking, so that you can lower the volume of the given tracks to help with that sound. Best way I can describe it to you. Back to the song though, it was really atmospheric. Rich in tones that sounded really good to me. I really liked it man, you are pretty damn good at this I must say
Hmm, alright. I'll try to do some stuff with the volumes then. Thanks for the help! :> So you like it? Yay! Any suggestions? I'm still not sure about it, I just put this together again in like 40 mins. :x Is the style still dark ambient for you?
Yeah no problem dude, tweaking some of the volumes in instrument heavy parts should take care of some of it, if not all. Loved it man! There were some parts in particular that could use a subtle ethereal wave sound or something (at least it sounded good in my head), but it was fine just the way it was. Fantastic, even especially for 40 minutes time spent on it =D This one was a little more... atmospheric than dark. A little more richer more defined tones. Not sure =X
Heavy parts.. hahah. >.< Yay! I'm happy you like it... but I wish I could find more people to give me opinions on quickly made stuff like this (which I wouldn't make fully public or anything, since it's not nearly good enough for that). And this style seems the easiest to make for me, I'd make a full 60 minutes of this kind of sleeping music in less than a week if I wanted to. Having a really hard time falling asleep give me plenty of ideas. >.< Hah, it's hard to define, that's for sure. Btw, look what I found: Clicky :X
Sorry, I meant to put "instrument-heavy parts". Meaning, parts of the song where there are more than a couple sounds going on at once, not necessarily "heavy" in sound. LOL Yeah, I used to share my music on the Intua Beatmaker forums, along with several other people, but I don't know how popular that forum is anymore really, and there were a lot of people that did stuff with rap and what not. I'm happy to give opinions myself though. Judging from the only two songs you have, I thoroughly enjoy your music ^.^ Yeah it kind of is ^.^ Bahahahaha. My old Blogspot. I haven't touched that thing in ages. It was short lived. Embarrassing right? LOL
That does make more sense. >.< Yeah, and I'm happy to hear your opinions, but with you, it's kinda hard to tell when you're just being nice. :ĐĐ Not that bad. If it was, I guess your Soundcloud wouldn't have a link to it.
^.^ Well, a few things to consider: 1) I am a nice person by nature, I don't often like (or mean) to offend, so I do try to avoid it. 2) It's hard for me to be critical about music, considering I like so much music. 3) With that being said, when it comes to making music, or listening to people make music, I can be a little overly critical, so I try to watch out between the two (I'll explain further in a moment). And lastly, 4) Words of encouragement often breeds positiveness and production. Even though my brother and brother in law makes dub-step and other kinds of music I don't particularly like, I still encourage them to keep on keeping on because THEY enjoy it. Fortunately, I actually enjoy listening to the things you make. lol To further elaborate on 3. My ultimate goal in life is to be a music production manager of my own. If you were to come to me in all seriousness and ask "Booch, I would really like for you to produce my music and help me get it out", I would be far more critical. I would listen to the music on a producer's aspect of it, and not as a listener aspect of it. Take my recording of Living the Dream on teh YouTubez. I f*cking HATE IT. OMG Does it sound miserable. It is completely riddled to errors, mess ups and sound mistakes. From a producer standpoint, it is awful. However, if I listen to it from a casual listener aspect of it, I love it to death. One of the funnest songs I have ever made in the career of my life in making music. But do you get where I am coming from? While I listen to your music, I listen to it from a listener's stand point. Sure there would be some things I would change, some tweaks I would make, and equlizations I would far more than be glad to help with. But it's your music. Your style. Your way. You're young, and you will learn several things (especially if you actually get more involved in making music for yourself, which I fully encourage you to do). Does that kind of make sense at all? lol
I do get that. But I need you to be as honest as possible - I believe that helps me the most in such an early stage with this kind of stuff. Still positive, though. :> I also think that music is pretty subjective, there isn't much thing that can be ultimately wrong in music. 'Least for me. Music producer? Interesting dream, I just couldn't spend that much time on music, but you obviously like music more than me, and also take it more seriously. ^^
I hear you dude, and I guess I can be a little more critical, but take my word on this: for having no musical ability, and just starting to make music, you do a damn good job. DAMN good job. You're the only person I know who makes decent sounding Ambient music. I've tried, but it never turns out Ambient at all. LOL So in that sense, you > me. Absolutely true, there is no right or wrong in the eyes of music. It's what you feel, and if you are able to convey those feelings and thoughts into a program/instrument, it's a blessing that's for sure, regardless if it sounds good to anyone else. Yes, I want to have my own studio and everything, even if it starts out in my own house. Problem is, is a lack of money to buy the expensive ass equipment. Ironically, I know how to use every bit of it. I went to school for it for god's sake and I have nothing to show for it! hahahaha There is a serious lack of music and sound engineers locally here where I live, and I want to be a part of it SOOOOOOO bad. And the beauty of it is, is that I enjoy so many kinds of music so i could take on any project, little or big, serious or not. I would charge next to nothing because it's something I enjoy doing, and would eventually work it in to being a full time job once I got a decent client base. But yeah, that dream is light years away. I still hold onto it though. I love music more than anything (expect my wife and son ^.^). And doing it as a career would just be mind blowing.
Well thanks. :>> How does it turn out for you, then?:> And what would your main criticism be? Yeah, agreed. I so want to learn how to play an instrument, and I really want to get better at the guitar, but I can just never get to it. :x I guess that career does make sense. Wouldn't opening an own studio be a really big first step? I'm not sure how this field works, but can't just start in some other studio?
Any time Ill listen to the songs after my lunch break (in 20 minutes) and give you a little criticism on the songs. Truthfully, there isn't much to be had, but volume levels, striking, and release consistency is one of the main problems I have with the 2 songs. These are very minute details though... Guitar is a great instrument. You seem to be having some good times with BM2 though! Yeah but I don't know any studios that would take me on (even if I did it for free). The two people I know (one in 1 city 23 miles away, and 1 in another city 40 miles away) both have partners and stuff with their recording processes. I've asked already >.< They have shown me stuff when we have recorded with them, but I learned the majority of what I know in school and through self-teachings (I have a very good book on all this stuff as well). My first step would be a huge step if I opened up my own studio, but so long as I had the equipment, and the money (and time) I would feel super comfortable doing all that on my own.
A better (and more balanced, volume wise) version of the second is up, replacing the one before. Most of the noise is gone. ^^ Yeah, but a program isn't nearly as expressive as an actual instrument. :| Ah. Well, I really hope you'll get the money for that, it sounds like a good thing to do. :>
Awesome, I'll check it out when I get back from lunch man. F*cking starving hahhaha That's not necessarily true. Take your case for instance, you can't really play any instruments, but managed to convey thoughts in song using BM2 right? Me too. Simply put, it would be a dream come true. It would take a lot of discipline saving though (and time, since currently I don't make that much). Another reason why I am desperately on the hunt for a new job.
I'm done with dinner, so don't talk to me about food. I'm not eating anything more today. :x Meh, a song made with a program can't possibly be as emotional as one made with actual instruments. Don't you agree? Well, good luck, then! You'll get there..
