To those of you that've helped me navigate my new DAW and various software issues, thank you.
I've posted a little mix on my profile which basically stands as a long winded tutorial for me so I can learn my new software and what have you. If you've got a second, or speakers for that matter (whosyourdaddy, lol) I'd appreciate any critiques or advice. Thanks again :)

Nov 02, 2007 01:17 pm Sounds nice. I think the bass that follows the piano (or is it just the piano) might be just a little tad too strong, but I kinda sounds good too, so I'm not really sure. Otherwise sounds good. I want some drums, and vocals, stat.

Nov 02, 2007 04:19 pm sounds good... the bass part is a bit strong... I think thats a piano... I'd try bumping it up an octave and supplementing it with maybe a cello sample...
definitely something I could see used in a movie... good job!

Nov 02, 2007 05:28 pm Ya, I kinda like the real forward sound of the bass myself. That is the nature sometimes of a sampled bass patche though. They can be very present in the mix. I loved the strings and piano as well. Interesting piece for sure. Makes me want to hear more of it.

Nov 02, 2007 05:49 pm Thanks for the feedback; I'm sure once I get the vocal and the acoustic in there the bass will be a little more transparent, but I wanted it to have a little punch to it. As for drums, I'm stuck. Drums are my downfall; I'm horrible at arranging them. If anyone has any pattern ideas, by all means, download it and play around with it. I need all the help I can get in that respect. And thanks for your input :)

Nov 03, 2007 01:33 am Zekthedeadcow, there is a cello track in the mix, it's just cleverly disguised; it also adds to the strong bass you hear in the "chorus" section.
I'm at a stand still. Anyone have an old USB interface I can borrow indefinitely? I'm itching to get this done!!

Nov 03, 2007 03:04 am Thanks Herb. A bit dramatic, but I'll take it, lol. It's got a long way to go, but I think it to be a rather mighty step in the right direction... at least I made it into your english film :D

Nov 03, 2007 08:26 pm Hey Keith, you have to enable the download if you want anyone to mess about with the drums on it. I will listen again and see if it is anything up my alley for drums.

Nov 06, 2007 02:07 am Ok, you can download it now. Keep in mind that it still has guitar and vocals left though. I'm going to play with the levels alot once I get it all recorded so I can get the right feel from it. Drum ideas would be amazing though. I'm clueless. Thanks for your honesty everyone.

Nov 06, 2007 09:22 pm Thanx Keith, I will download it and if time permits I'll give it a go as well.
Herb, you seem to find the best of those little gif's. I'm truly jealous.
