hi.
I've been registered for some time now, mainly because a friend told me it's an awesome place. The thing is, I never had the time to actually browse forums, so I lurk. :-/
I wanted to ask all you gifted people, is it ok if I post a link to a piece of music and ask you for some evaluation?
I'm full of ideas, and will heed any words of caution/advice you care to give me, because it's really a torture that I'm not talented/learned enough to put those ideas into notes.
I've seen people post great pieces, but do you take kindly to newbies?...
kisses christina

drugas are pretty dangerous so you should drink some orange juice and probably masturbate u_u

should I add "spam" to the title of the topic?
anyway, here goes. you'll probably laugh at it, but please don't go easy on me. if you have any suggestions to make it listenable, please do share.

so far as I know, my mp3 was just exported from FL5 and is free of spyware... I don't know why the hosting service cautions you.

haha, classic flstudio drum samples... it's interesting though, i like the melody, and you've got some cool panning and nice layering of instruments. i guess you need to flesh it out more and start working on getting more of your own sound in there. as it stands it's a bit sparse and of no real direction, so it's not that "satisfying". well, not to me, anyway.
i like where you're heading, though.

it's to make complete idiots download retarded software that mucks up your computer and allows them to continue funding their absolutely rancid filehosting site.
i think i'm gonna make it a principle to not download from these "free file upload" sites pretty soon. too many ads and way too much queuing and mucking about. i don't want to type in a fucking code everytime i download a file.
so to everyone: get a proper server. just to appease me. thx.

dann and staz> thanks a lot. I'll try to make my own sounds. Actually it's what I dread... I've got musical ideas, I'm not a technician.. I find some charm in it, but not enough that I have to learn about the whole physics of sound... But I guess it reads badly if I don't give it a try...
I'm surprised you like it, otherwise. I expected far worse.
also, sorry about the free service... I'm having problems with my own host.
kisses and thanks for the patience christina www.darksprite.chaos-rules.com

Hi, didn't you email me a longish time ago? I think you wrote that your best melodies use all the notes (chromatic I think) instead of any scale, like major. This is a nice track- pretty much in the Plaid genre, not quite as well mastered and stuff like you said, but still quite good.

You might try not for threes or rest proof clockwork by plaid if you havn't heard those. I think the 2nd track on each is a good test sample; you can probably hear at amazon.com or download in a filesharing network (slsk.org)

Dann_> tx for the suggestion. I was thinking I could use some C64-sounding drums, but I haven't found any yet. Guess I have to re-learn programming the SID. hope you're better today!
w M w> cool! tx a lot.

about this thread? I try not to bitch about the fact that my gender is commented upon. after all it's a male-frequented and dominated group of buddies and you deserve to keep your style.
I wouldn't take kindly to guys coming in my female-only groups (as they do, when I'm with the greek lesbian group, irl) and bitching about how we don't understand them and we don't change our outlook in order to include them. wtf?
