[QUOTE=AshMan;46909887] Anyway here's a very short remix I did of the end credits theme to 'Check it Out'. Was gonna turn it into somethimg more but I lost the will. [media]http://soundcloud.com/system_lock/checkitout[/media] And some sort of VHS tape company jingle [media]http://soundcloud.com/system_lock/logo-screen[/media][/QUOTE] That transition between 0:15 and 0:22 was really cool. The layers are also very nice between 0:22 to the end. I would suggest if you're going to leave it at that to at least fade out the drone at the end. Your other piece just made me laugh! [QUOTE=Mysterious Mr.E;46916258] [media]http://soundcloud.com/corn-mouth/spironolactone[/media] Here are some more of my beats that ive been working on [/QUOTE] Not really my cup of tea, but I thought it was interesting. I suggest turning up the piano because that's where your juice is. That's the tune and right now you have everything else overpowering it. I guess you are showcasing the beats, but I just feel there needs to be some more balance there. [QUOTE=CLungcancer;46917995] [media]http://soundcloud.com/shpe/vault[/media] [/QUOTE] So I was sitting here trying to think of something to say about it, but I just found it very bizarre. The harmonies were very strange and I just felt like something was off. With that said whatever this genre may be it seems like you are pulling it off well. Sorry I don't have more to say! _________________________________________________ Here is another piece that is a work in progress for the mod Portal 2 Repercussions. I've been trying hard to keep with the general theme and including it in my newer pieces. So kind of like having somewhat of a variation happening.

[QUOTE=Mysterious Mr.E;46916258] [URL="http://facepunch.com/"]Listen to Soundcloud recording[/URL] [URL]http://soundcloud.com/corn-mouth/spironolactone[/URL] Here are some more of my beats that ive been working on [/QUOTE]It's cool I guess, but the crazy beat feels like it's not complimenting the melodies very much, it's just living a life of its own, you might want to modify it a bit to go with the flow of the relaxing melodies more?

oh god the forum changes fucked me because this thread hadn't been moved so I made a new thread and now its sort of obsolete (because I thought they were all getting locked) Here it is [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1446264[/url] my idea was to merge the off topic and creative music threads because neither of them were very active but what do you guys reckon?

They're about to be buried in unrelated threads, and it might be easier to keep it going when there's one active thread, rather than multiple inactive ones.

[QUOTE=Mezzokoko;46908756] Update on something I posted here two weeks ago: [media]http://soundcloud.com/mezzokoko-wip/night-highway-1[/media][/QUOTE]It's a nice track to listen in the background when doing something else, but I can't keep focused on it by itself. There is not that much going in it in general making it feel very static. Some synths pop up every once in a minute and there is a 20 second breakdown which doesn't feel like enough. You need to work on fleshing your structure out and if we're talking about long house tracks then you could try taking some pointers from this track [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va4OyeQHbr8[/url] . NO your track has not to be of that quality (jon hopkins is a god) but try to listen and understand the dynamics and structure and what makes it interesting and captivating. Maybe you'll learn something! [editline]14th January 2015[/editline] god damnit guys im trying to automerge here [editline]14th January 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=AshMan;46909887] Anyway here's a very short remix I did of the end credits theme to 'Check it Out'.

[media]http://soundcloud.com/system_lock/checkitout[/media] [/quote]This is pretty kickass, great synths and feel, it isn't very long but I'd like to hear more of it :( [QUOTE=AshMan;46909887] And some sort of VHS tape company jingle [media]http://soundcloud.com/system_lock/logo-screen[/media][/QUOTE] Yeah I can imagine is as a vhs tape jingle so I guess you achieved that haha [editline]14th January 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=4yourmalice;46910399] Here's another one I threw together [media]http://soundcloud.com/travis-cumming-3/redemption-retribution-genesis-part-ii[/media] EDIT : I don't know why it keeps changing the links to your songs, every time I edit this post.[/QUOTE]I imagine a naval combat scenario in a raging storm when listening to this, very dramatic.

Now it looks like we should have one thread for all that stuff. It's going to be a mess though..

This could work to our advantage. So we off to the new thread then?

[QUOTE=CLungcancer;46917995]This is very nice, even if a bit cliche, but seems like thats what you were going for. My favourite part is the 1:07 where there's only piano, I'm a huge sucker for solo piano pieces :3. [editline]13th January 2015[/editline] The intro is really important because you're supposed to give the listener a general feeling of the track without giving away too much but it still has to grab the listeners attention. In this instance it might feel a bit drawn out without a good reason, there isn't really that much happening in it, just some basic melodies, try coming up with a little gimmick for the intro? Though I like the way you introduce the bitcrushed synth, sounds almost like a didgeridoo, more of that thanks! I don't really know what else to say about the track, it's pretty decent overall. [/quote]I'm sorry I just find the 'big room banger combined with the cheesy and overdone mid part that transitions into some kind of secret agent melody into a big room banger again' setting really, really goofy. But it's a good thing right? Not all music has to be serious, sometimes you just need a smile on your face! [editline]13th January 2015[/editline] Ok I'm running out of time so I can't look into other tracks right now so I'm dropping this here: [media]http://soundcloud.com/shpe/vault[/media] I'll look into the last page in more detail later this evening![/QUOTE] [editline]17th January 2015[/editline] I could kind of picture this looped in some type of side-scrolling video game. [QUOTE=Mysterious Mr.E;46916258]Oh holy fuck those are some retro ass synths! Sounds so 80's I love it. Legit drive or hotline miami shit right there. The second track sounds like something the boards of canada would make [media]http://soundcloud.com/corn-mouth/spironolactone[/media] Here are some more of my beats that ive been working on [editline]13th January 2015[/editline] Chill as fuck. I love the weird vox thing you got going on. ITs all great![/QUOTE] I like the piano in this... but i don't really know how i feel about everything else, it becomes a bit repetitive. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ [media]http://soundcloud.com/shaquonthomas/glory[/media] something i made.

[QUOTE=killerteacup;46952681] [media]http://soundcloud.com/shaquonthomas/glory[/media] something i made.[/QUOTE] Really cool trappy vibes on this, the overall production sounds pretty solid too! (love that stock fruity love philter preset [b]C;[/b] ) The only thing i would criticize is that the overall musicality of the track doesn't really stand out very much to me, as in the chords tend to just stay the same throughout the entire piece. The same feeling is there with the dynamics of the track too (not the range, i mean the actual dynamic between the harder and softer sections), so that might be something to work on! _____________________________________________________________________________ (Sorry to only have a private link but it's only privated cos it's potentially coming on a biggish label) [url]https://soundcloud.com/veschell/veschell-waste-of-time-feat-shem-johnson/s-8Kzsg[/url] A justice/lemaitre french-disco'y styled track i made with a friend on the vocals :v:
