Here's a little experiment of mine:

http://www.mediafire.com/?cznzxjyvmyd

I started it last night, so I only have the first 16 measures so far. I'm using a canned drum loop, but the synth & bass were played by me on a midi keyboard. I'm just using Garageband, Apple's amateur music software, so I'm kinda limited. I'm probably going to be buying something a little more "pro" soon.

Anyway, tell me what you think.

EDIT: I changed the link. It now links to an updated version. I fixed the bass track up, and upped the tempo a bit.

WOW. you just using garageband?! far out. well done!
 
haha, awesome. I didn't know what to think of it to be honest.

I think I'll do a bit more experimenting tonight. Since Wednesday is the only good night for tv.
 
right, i've been away and there's lots to catch up on :) once i get back this afternoon i'll start reviewing some of the new material!

My keyboard came with Live lite (which is crappy)

so did my soundcard... but that's a real blessing to be honest, because it's seriously cheap to upgrade to the full version. i managed to get Live 5 full download for 150 euros, which is nothing. it's an awesome way to go legit in an affordable fashion.

the great thing about investing in software is that updates are either free or really cheap, and the tech support rules.
 
Realm - Everything Falls Apart (The System)

This is a song about the events that led up to my dad committing suicide. Check it out it relates to us all. It's time for a wake up call.

im feelin how it feels-forces confront you and you kneel
they hunt you and you squeal-they fuck you and you peel
im feelin how it feels-to be lonely missin ones you love for steel
the government is real-they got a badge but still they rob and steal
im feelin how it feels-stuck up in the deal
just know i can relate-dont ever let the coppas seal ya fate
dont take the bait it isnt fake you can even feel the hate
deep inside ya gut ya feel the bake-feel the pressure incubate
and still you stray its day to day-it'll never change
so lemme get it str8-you feelin how it feels to be a feathaweight
thats when they pushin thumbs and makin rules like stay in school
so they can play you fools into thinkin that the cash rules
its like you locked up in a system that you cant escape

(hook)
locked up in a system that you cant escape (repeat and build)
(hook)


its chaos in alotta ways-were all the witches of the modern day
you gotta love the way they demonize-yet they in disguise
filled with lies i can see it in they eyes but they the law so then they pry
ask me why? i couldnt tell ya-then again i didnt have a job to sell ya
now i think you feelin how it feels to rob and steal so i could get a record deal
in hoods i rob they call me robbin hoods-get it? got it? good.
i call it like i see it when i see it best believe it
couldnt ask me twice im in another league of dreamin
im no utopiest thats all a lie-look what they did! they call it crime
they puttin obstacles to make you stumble every time
and hit rewind--so now u got the jist of it
ill resonate when you gettin stomped and pistol whipped by pigs


(hook)
locked up in a system that you cant escape (repeat and build)
(hook)


you may be thinkin im a rebel of society-in fact im just a dyin breed
you fuckin clones is all inside a me thats how i see
so when u knockin down my doors and breakin glass-
expect a motha fucka with an uzi and a jason mask
thats where ima leave it cuz of how you bitches see it
the message that i stress is death and solitude
you could call it crude but im a visionary fuck a pussies attitude!
fuck the government ill never keep my pain inside-thats why im livin high
i been crazy since the day my daddy died he committed suicide
i guess im lucky cuz i got to say goodbye
one thing is true in life-on this world u cant rely!
thats why i defy!!-this is real u cant deny!
this is my battle cry!!! youll never get me to comply!
im stayin true to me myself and I!
dont get caught up in a system that u cant escape
you may just lose ya face!-dont ever let em take ya pain away!!
it makes you who you are-and who you are will take you very far

Arright guys, I'm downloading some stuff now and will write some heartfelt reviews shortly....regulus I had a brief listen to your psy tune, eloquently titled Fuck- sounded really pretty cool.
 
Djmethorphan.....
im starting to appreciate how trippy your sounds are. keep it up, you may become DJ yet...
 
right you'll have to bear with me, because i've lost track of who's called what, so i can only review based on file names.

Robert Vrdoljak - Mind Your Own

ah, there's Resonator again :) i'm a sucker for it! the hi-hats are good, and i love the timestretched vocals after 1:00. the samples are nicely implemented. there's too much bassy whoompf in the main percussive pattern, and it's robbing energy from the lower end of the track. the breakdown section is excellent and a real strength. could do with some more variations to keep people interested, particularly in the drum tracks, and try to shift mess with those Impulse kits, because they're instantly recognisable. get tweaking, there's so much you can do even in Impulse to fuck with the sounds.

lovely rich intro synth is tranceadelic. really this is such a tease; the breaks are excellent, that warm yet almost fm-style bass is really tempting. it's hard to review 30 seconds of music adequately; i REALLY want to know where this is headed... please post a fuller or finished version. the production is lovely, really shiny and full.

blue noises

i like the squeaky-gate fairground ride from hell whistle pattern, but think it could do with fewer repetitions. there's a kind of oldskool sound coming from the synths you've chosen which is interesting. i do love the endless-random-sounding synth progressions, they add an intriguing sense of onwards motion. i'd watch out for EQing the lower end of the synths when they're holding long notes over the kick drum... perhaps a gentle sidechain for some of the time would help the kick to punch through those droning sections.

i like the intro a lot. it's got this dr-who-has-a-fucking-horrible-trip feeling. there's a wonderful grungified-amiga feel about it, and i like anything which sounds unlike other things i have heard. i like the way the main kick beat sounds like a mobile phone recording of a huge techno rig :D that overdriven crunchiness is quite appealing, and since all the high-frequency stuff has been taken out it's still attractive on the ears. i like the section at 3:30 a lot, and the last few minutes. i still think it's probably twice as long as it needs to be though; if you could reign it in a bit and trim off some of the excess i think the whole thing would have a greater impact, because the ideas are wicked.

great work everyone :)

hmm, yea I thought that was a problem too. Unfortunately I can't really do much else with the beat, since I'm still using the trial version of Fruity Loops and can't do anything with a beat once I've exported it.

Thanks for the feedback :)
 
Realm- Everything Falls Apart. Lovely track man, has a really emotional shivery quality to it. Nice crunchy beat, I can't comment on production as I'm playing on laptop speakers, but it sounds relaitvely clear. Vocals are recorded really well, nice layering and double tracking. I'm not sure if I like the hook that much- no, I like it but I don't like the way it repeats. Maybe you could add some dubby delays to make it a bit more interesting- filtering the delays up could add to the rising sensation of the chorus. Overall, really nice, I just wish I could download it and play on good speakers....
 
finially worked out something i think shows where i am going..... now that i figured that out, how do i get posted up here... ahhh damn
