July 23, 200719 yr Ok, with this one, I realise that it may lack some realism to the way the instruments sound... and may be a little repetitive... sorry for that :D A Heartbeat Now the sounding of this is quite unique... I want to know from other people what they feel this reminds them of... because I can't get any idea except for maybe an ending theme... ah well... This song gets its name from the nature of the repeating note through out the majority of the song... In my opinion, it adds character to the melody... By the way, This song is the first I've uploaded... it is one of my personal faves and is also the fave of someone who will always be very important to me... so I dedicate this to her... sorry we didnt work out, but being best friends is fine with me :)!
July 23, 200719 yr What about the music: that repeated note (is it D2?) is good idea, but in the beginning (when melody is in left hand) it's disturbing - it's much louder than the melody. After that it's pretty good. I think it might be good for short movies, like video-game trailers, what do you think?

I put it all together with a computer program... so i'll probaby be able to fix it up and adjust the volume for it to suit when I get the chance :) But I agree... lol it does sound like a game trailer song, and I know someone who'd also agree with you there :)
July 23, 200719 yr Hey, I've heard from you before! Yeah, I definately second the videogame trailer impression. Awfully long trailor, but still... great for an RPG. Nice drumkit work! How did you get that echo-like effect, what do you use? Marius would absolutely love this, I'm sure. Bipek - That repeated D is in fact called D5. C1 is the lowest 'C' on a piano, after that is is D1, E1, F1, ect... than C2, D2... ect. Middle C is C4, the most reliable and combustable note known to pyromaniacs afar! sorry we didnt work out, but being best friends is fine with me :)! I feel for you, same thing going on for me too, you know.
July 23, 200719 yr MusicMan: thanks for that. In our Polish music schools they are lteaching us that your C4 is our c1, your C3 - our c, C2 -> C, C1 -> underlined C. etc.
July 24, 200719 yr Author MusicManJ4, I use sibelius for making my melodies and such, but I spend alot of time tinkering with my music in the Loop-based Program "Sony Acid Pro 5"... I use it mainly for making MIDI's into MP3's and tweaking the sound quality to make it less midi-like and more realistic... I sometimes do use it for looping, but i find it most handy when you want to add effects such as reverb, distortion, and general audio enhancements... one of my songs, "The Forgotten" was originally just made from the using the melody and playing aroud with it in Acid Pro That song was made from 8 bars with 4 different instrumental sections that were each recorded individually.. then I could just use each recording and layer it... with that, I was even able to have the main melody reversed, another feature of Acid... so yeah :mellow: But, on the side topic, I ended up actually writting two songs for her... one was actually for when we were... going through our tough time... it's titled "Never Forget.." and I even have words for that... I sang it to her... and it was a special moment for us... hmm ah well.. things happen which are sometimes out of our control... and the best we can do is to get through those moments...
July 24, 200719 yr W-o-J: I'm using sibelius too :angry: And EWQL Colossus for sampling. It's awesome - you can do what you want with the sound. Listen to my songs. All of them is sampled with Collosus, only "Steel Soldiers' March" is sampled by Kontakt Player from Sibelius :P
July 24, 200719 yr The drums need more work, some fills and such. They seem to just appear out of nowhere and disappear quickly. Otherwise sounds pretty good. :closedeyes:
