MIDI Metal (The Homemade Kind) - General

Self-explanatory. Wanted to post in the new section, so I decided to make a thread about the music I like to write. As I am a man of a few words, here are some songs: Divine Blasphemy (7:11) A cliche named, 3 movement song. [media]http://soundcloud.com/hakita/divine-blasphemy[/media] Forbidden (6:07) A rather sinister sounding song. My favorite. [media]http://soundcloud.com/hakita/forbidden[/media] Echoes At The Mountains Of Madness (4:30) One of my more prog inspired songs. Named after Lovecraft's story and Pink Floyd's song. [media]http://soundcloud.com/hakita/echoes-at-the-mountain-of-madness[/media] The Sands Of Sacrifice (3:17) An 'intro'-ish song. Faster than most of my songs. [media]http://soundcloud.com/hakita/the-sands-of-sacrifice[/media] The Iron Curtain (4:34) Built from the movement from my song 'The Fall Of Man'. For some reason the most popular, too. [media]http://soundcloud.com/hakita/the-iron-curtain[/media] The Fall Of Man (10:33) My first and also longest song. Lots of movements here. [media]http://soundcloud.com/hakita/the-fall-of-man-re-mastered[/media] Feel free to check out the rest of my soundcloud account and comment on the songs. [B]Update #1:[/B] New song! The Cold Star (3:54) A sci-fi themed song with very fast riffs. [media]http://soundcloud.com/hakita/the-cold-star[/media]

Fall of Man sounds a bit Dream Theater inspired. Why not record with a real guitar?

[QUOTE=deggie;28276225]Fall of Man sounds a bit Dream Theater inspired. Why not record with a real guitar?[/QUOTE] Because I lack the skill and the equipment. Also, I am a fan of Dream Theater, so its very likely some songs can sound like theirs.

Buying equipment is just a question of money, learning guitar is just a question of time. For the sake of boredom I'll tab out The Fall of Man when I get my real amp home. Which is due in 3 weeks......

What kind of software do you use?

[editline]25th February 2011[/editline] polaris sound good.

Do you know any good software to make Techno?

heh, as soon as i heard the 35 drum note kicking in i knew it was GP5. those are pretty damn cool, specially because they're actual songs.

[QUOTE=MenteR;28284863]heh, as soon as i heard the 35 drum note kicking in i knew it was GP5. those are pretty damn cool, specially because they're actual songs.[/QUOTE] I've only used 35 once in all my songs. 36 all the way. [editline]25th February 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;28284299]Do you know any good software to make Techno?[/QUOTE] Try FL Studio

[QUOTE=Hakita;28284960]I've only used 35 once in all my songs. 36 all the way. [/QUOTE] haha i prefer 35, i also like 40 instead of 38.

[QUOTE=MenteR;28286763]haha i prefer 35, i also like 40 instead of 38.[/QUOTE] 36 and 40 all the way

Protip: Use both 35 + 36 on top of eachother for that fat bass/kick sound!

I might be missing the point here but have you considered running your songs through a good software synthesizer to make them sound less Win95?

[QUOTE=Tu154M;28294249]I might be missing the point here but have you considered running your songs through a good software synthesizer to make them sound less Win95?[/QUOTE] I have, but alot of the stuff I have tried makes everything sound too... un-clear. I prefer the MIDI sound, because its more clear and the instruments and notes are easy to hear.

[QUOTE=Hakita;28294329] I prefer the MIDI sound, because its more clear and the instruments and notes are easy to hear.[/QUOTE] But it still sounds like shit (tone wise, the songs are awesome :v:). You should try to get someone to record these for you.

[QUOTE=Yur|ko;28318349]But it still sounds like shit (tone wise, the songs are awesome :v:). You should try to get someone to record these for you.[/QUOTE] Like I said, I would love that, but nobody would want to.

[QUOTE=Hakita;28318360]Like I said, I would love that, but nobody would want to.[/QUOTE] I might want to do some actually. Adding you on steam :buddy:

[QUOTE=Yur|ko;28318389]I might want to do some actually. Adding you on steam :buddy:[/QUOTE] I'd very much like that.

[QUOTE=Hakita;28318360]Like I said, I would love that, but nobody would want to.[/QUOTE] I could run it through some Synths if you like.

[QUOTE=Tu154M;28318481]I could run it through some Synths if you like.[/QUOTE] I would like that, yeah.

[QUOTE=Hakita;28318487]I would like that, yeah.[/QUOTE] Care to upload your MIDI files?

[QUOTE=Tu154M;28318675]Care to upload your MIDI files?[/QUOTE] Which ones do you want?

[QUOTE=Hakita;28318682]Which ones do you want?[/QUOTE] I personally like Divine Blasphemy and Iron Curtain most. Guess we could start with that.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: MIDI music is awesome. [editline]28th February 2011[/editline] Forbidden is really cool. [editline]28th February 2011[/editline] The Iron Curtain is also awesome.

Make me a MIDIgrind song, and I will love you forever. Here's a kind of shitty example because it has vocals, terrible ones at that. I couldn't find any instrumental HKSC songs, so try to ignore the vocals and listen to the ~awesome~ instrumentals: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpgM4QswpYg[/media] 120% Says You're Going To Die is tons better because it has better vocals, but I can't find them on youtube :v:
