I'd like your opinion on a small piece of music I wrote.

About 170 BPM?

cool man, i'm curious to know how it would sound myself.

I cvan find the beat in anything, even say a printing press. You beats arer all over, I get dif readings everytime

Will you post an update or when you finish the song in this thread?

that's really interesting, I hear it..

yeah, I know theres horns for the answer and Im coming in giddy, need to spread it out and pace the love.

thank you.

sucks

If he/she does, I'll pine it again. I want to hear each stage of the journey. SO OP
I'd like your opinion on a small piece of music I wrote. Part 2
would be appreciated.

its currently at 100 bpm, the ostinato makes it seem a lot faster though.

I have 4 different motifs that are all at different paces, I can see how it would seem like that.

Sounds like some gay liberace horseshit

yeah, I can do that. I wasn't really expecting this kind of attention over this, and I don't know how long it will take me, but I will bookmark this page and update it. I do school 7 days a week, so I'm sure I will have something soon.

no problem, I can just update this thread when I'm able.

thanks again for the pin, I really wasn't expecting all this feedback, but it's been really helpful.

It’s really good. It sounds a bit synthetic. I would sit and listen to it, but I can see it in a movie or commercials.

I think it is beautiful. Very uplifting and woild be a great score for a film! Great job!!

I can see that, it's a work in progress that represents my limited understanding of a complex field of study.

thanks for the feedback, I really do appreciate it.

Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of a place called GuLP.

thank you.

only when its unexpected. lol

I need to get to bed now, got an early day tomorrow.

thanks again glp, you're a great fam.

^^^^^^^THIS!!!!!

IT is good. Sounds like the intro music to a countryside detective show or something like that.

Hi. It needs a better mix, the high violins sounded a bit screechy on my phone, where most music including classical does not (so its not just the tinny sound of a phone).

It's a reasonable composition, for me it's like the very early stages of the intro to something that moves to other phases.

I'm not to sure about the timing, it sounded a bit blurry and I couldn't pick out individual instruments or clear time indicators as the arpeggio strings were gradually drowned out.

You need to find specific frequency niches for so many strings arrangements during the mix, but you should be approximating this in pre production as you build layers to prevent the cloudiness your piece suffers from.

That's as much as I can tell you based on a quick phone listen (and 40 years of experience).

Keep eveloping the ideas and check out some basic mixing videos on YouTube for your software.

Good luck, I hope my honesty helps.

Beautiful

It starts off great with realistic strings. But then it kind of devolves after that. Many of those note to note sounds have no life to them.

What I mean is they need some automation, its just going note to note and they stand out as very static electronic sounds with no change in the 4 properties of sound.

My recommendation is when you got that build going and then you introduce the new sound, maybe change up the melody rhythm along with the new sound. As it goes on too long in my opinion.

Somewhat tempest but lovely. Lovely either way. Keep doing what you're doing, as you have a gift and praise Jesus for what you have!

what if you swapped the one of the violins for a cello

Nice piece. Some smooth low end, bass tones would warm it up and give a foundation. Keep doing what you're doing.

The background track is competing with the foreground instrument. That's a no go.

It's too generic and repetitive for my taste.

IMO, music should balance on a tightrope between order and chaos. You should present a cool musical idea, but then as soon as the listener thinks he knows where you are going with it, bam! Plot twist! Something unexpected happens!

The key to being interesting is not being boring.

This is true for life in general as well as for all forms of art. Predictability kills interest. This is totally predictable and "safe".

"Easy listening" is what they call this kind of stuff. I personally find it very hard to listen to without tearing my hair out, so I have no idea why the genre is called that!
