I made a song, it's called "111" - General

Because that is the BPM of the song, and because sometimes I can almost vomit of the stupid titles I come up with. So, it's pretty electronic, and I have no idea what genre... it's kinda spaced out rhytmically in one part, and then a bit more focused in others. [URL]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/436501/111.mp3[/URL] Now, I am not at all good at mastering, so I really shouldn't try to dabble with it, but I did put a limiter + some other things on this thing just to give it a little "punch". It didn't work quite as I planned, so it's a little pumpy here and there. Give me some criticism if you can, I will surely agree with most of it. Either way, I just like sharing music with others, so enjoy!

I really dig the hell out of this, starts off slow enough, made me a little reminiscent of some nin.. Then if breaks into the crunched bit sounds which were awesome and very video game feeling. Here comes the funk, then hit it with some stanky nasty goodness and you have your song.

I love the percussion. The swing feel is great too. I think the synths feel quite basic, maybe classic. That might be the feel you were going for, but I'd try out different patches and sounds. Cool melodies and chords though. Nice track :)

Yep, the patches might be a bit simple. I try to make most of them myself, because I think it's good practice. I'm not at all a wiz about it. But I do like the classic sounds a lot. I think I should spice them up a bit though, so that's something to aim for. Anyway, Thanks for replies! :)

Comments as I listen. Noise I hear. Quite a bit of reverb, but it's creating an atmosphere. I feel like this is about an adolescent robot. He is in a wreckage. Why is there breath? Now he's checking out the world is amazed and is saying wow. Don't think the clapping factors in. Funky. The focus of attention is directed very well, and although there is a lot going on, it's not overwhelming. Not really sure with this part comes in, it's like a bridge with just clapping, but it builds up and goes into something really nice. Oh it gets better. The fall back into ambiance makes sense. I feel like the robot learned something horrifying and in some way has changed. There is quite an annoying high pitched sound that is taking a toll on my noise, it is in the right side, may want to tone the highs on that. The ending isn't bad. Also ends up that the noise at the beginning was not from the song but rather someone in my house vacuuming right when I started the song. Overall really good. A few samples like the breathing sound a bit random, but overall most everything sounds like it has a purpose, and all but one transition is done well. The most important factor is you got my imagination going. The music seems meaningful and like there is a story to it. Did you intend on it? I don't know, but you did leave a lot of room for imagination and interpretation.

For creating your own patches they are good. I'd definitely agree that that is good practice.

Wow, those are some interesting thoughts and observations. Really appreciated. As for my intentions for this song, nothing fancy. I am not thinking much of stories when I create this kind of music. It's mostly about feeling things. Feeling rhythms and melodies and stacking them on top to see what happens, and what fits. If it makes you think about robots, then that's just awesome. Transitions are always my weakest point. If you could tell me which one that is worst, that would be helpful, because I have no clue. :P

Intro came in and I was hooked, bloody great!

Very nice song mate.

Lol a friend of mine made a song called "YYY". I really liked your song. Nice mixing.

The percussion plays a great role. I like the little bits where it switches timing at the end of a section. The melody that plays at 0:52 is really captivating.

This is good

Interesting.

How'd you make this? Is it really hard to? How long does it take?

Great mixing dude, sounds fluent and not repetitive.

you dont hear things like this everyday

[QUOTE=Errorproxy;31302917]How'd you make this? Is it really hard to? How long does it take?[/QUOTE] It's all made in Cubase using a combination of synths made in Massive + drum clips and samples. Nothing really special. It's not really 'hard' to do. I guess it depends on if you've got a lot of motivation and inspiration or not. This song took me maybe a week, but not that many hours. I'd say 7 hours or so.

If there was an album full of this I'd buy it. (That would be saying something if you don't catch my drift.) It sounds absolutely awesome and I am unable to find a con in your work.

I like it. Overall decent production quality, and you've got quite a dynamic progression there. It starts out ambient and minimal sounding and when it builds up it sounds like a Megaman track or something. I would suggest spicing up the synth sounds a little bit, but perhaps you were going for sort of a retro feel?

Oh man, I'm loving the hell out of this, it's so interesting and fun to listen to however it seems a tad flat, but that's probably just because of the chiptones.

Digging it.

i love the part that beginns at 2:35 i dont usually listen to music like this but it does sound nice the percussion sounds pretty fake and theres not much depth in it, it feels pretty thin and high pitched for some reason.
