Post by: frezal on May 30, 2009, 05:20:33 PM: Why is it in rar format? I'll hold out for the JewTube version (or an mp3).

Post by: somestrangeguy on May 30, 2009, 05:22:18 PM: Could have been alot better if you had used diffrrent beat than that countdown thing. It really didnt suit it much at all.
Title: Something i made that you guys may like!
Post by: frezal on May 30, 2009, 07:54:55 PM: I got bored and downloaded it anyway. I don't think this qualifies as being a song. That aside, there's no clear beat (unless you count that countdown, in which case, the other noises rarely follow along), no melody, and no real rhythms.

Was this the result of a jam session? By that I mean was this mostly improv'd? I'm not much of a composer myself, but this sounds as though it was just jammed. While there is nothing wrong with jammin', I would suggest cleaning it up a bit. Go through it, pick out a lick that you really like and run with it. As of right now, it's way too busy.

In conclusion, good idea, but needs a bit of work.

Post by: kill343gs on May 30, 2009, 08:49:13 PM: Adding to what Jeffery said, it sounds like you took the countdown (which got really annoying, probably the most annoying sound in the entire "song) and all the other RA2 sounds and threw them into a blender. It really sounds nothing like a song, just a bunch of noises that lasts over a minute.

Post by: DuckRA2 on May 31, 2009, 12:53:56 PM: then don't listen to it
Title: Something i made that you guys may like!
Post by: Urjak on May 31, 2009, 12:57:50 PM: Personally, I really like it. I found that the countdown timer did not get annnoying at all (maybe that just becasue I like the sound of it :)). I though you did the noises quite nicely actually.

Post by: Naryar on May 31, 2009, 01:11:40 PM: It's decent right now, but it has the potential to end in something really awesome if you work on it.
Title: Something i made that you guys may like!
Post by: Weirdo on May 31, 2009, 01:15:31 PM: ^^More or less agree with Naryar, but I actually think it isn't that good as it is at the moment. But I agree that it's certainly an idea that can be improved apon.

Post by: 40757 on May 31, 2009, 02:40:38 PM: It seems like the Countdown timer was off beat at times. What program did you use to make this?

Post by: roboman2444 on May 31, 2009, 06:39:52 PM: i would have used garageband on a mac
Title: Something i made that you guys may like!
Post by: frezal on May 31, 2009, 06:54:36 PM: Some questions for you:

How much experience do you have with music? Do you have any professional training?

How are your rhythm skills? Can you stay on beat with a metronome well?

I can't remember what else I was going to ask.

Post by: Somebody on May 31, 2009, 07:21:19 PM: Garageband can fix notes to a metronome beat.

Garageband can fix notes to a metronome beat.

I use GarageBand on a fairly regular basis. While it can do a lot of things for you, if you have no sense of rhythm, there's no way to make a good tune without some help.

Post by: DuckRA2 on May 31, 2009, 09:06:15 PM: I do play piano quite well and I am pretty good with the metronome, I dont have a mac - so i dont have garage band
Title: Something i made that you guys may like!
Post by: frezal on June 01, 2009, 01:36:46 PM: Does Acid have a built in metronome? If so, add in the countdown later and set the beat with the metronome. After you've got everything in time, lay down the countdown in time with the metronome.

STFU about GarageBand! He doesn't have a Mac, so why would he need to know this? Besides, do you really think GarageBand is the only program that has these basic audio editing features?

Post by: Reier on June 01, 2009, 03:14:58 PM: Audacity? It's Free anyway.
Title: Something i made that you guys may like!
Post by: kill343gs on June 01, 2009, 03:59:42 PM: Audacity is what I used to make music at one point.
Title: Something i made that you guys may like!
Post by: DuckRA2 on June 01, 2009, 05:57:21 PM: Yes it does have a metronome + something called a beat mapper, I'm reading the contents/index now for that

EDIT: I saw kill just change to moderator

Post by: Hydro on June 01, 2009, 06:19:41 PM: no offence, but this = fail.
Title: Something i made that you guys may like!
Post by: DuckRA2 on June 01, 2009, 11:38:14 PM: everything you do is a fail hydro, an epic fail...
Title: Something i made that you guys may like!
Post by: SpyGuy on June 03, 2009, 01:12:01 AM: So if Hydro has all these epics failures lining up, do those evetually become mega-fails?

Pretty good work on the soundtrack, though I see where the other guys are coming from about the beat. Keep working at it, clean it up some more .....

Post by: Hydro on June 03, 2009, 10:24:20 AM: i find my lack of win disturbing. may the fail be with me :-D

Post by: RedSawn on June 03, 2009, 05:57:55 PM: The song seems so unorganized in places... :| Great concept.. but well, it could be a lot better executed.
