....and listen to my new track...it will take but 2:04 of your time. I pretty much like the way it sounds myself but there are some things I am planning on changing as I learn how to use my laptop more. Before I do that though I would really really like any comments and suggestions you have. btw, the track is a mixture of a lot of my influences over the years so it is quite experimental :D under the new alias stickfigure :D |

mm. quite experimental for you then - not for me. not a lot of development or interesting sounds. just seems to start, go on a bit and then stop. nothing special. not my thing. |

|
A bit too much "gabba" feelin' for my taste but there are some nice sounds in there. Keep up the work. |

Thanks for both of your comments :D qrter: I meant experimental as in I am just developing the use of sounds that have influenced me in the past, not the structure of the track. Bare in mind I have been making music for about a month and this is only my 5th track. I am sure I will get better the more I do...lol |

well, focusing on creating good sounds is the best startingpoint, I think. :) |

allright track man,keep workin on it..hows sunny liverpool,remember the cream days |
||||||||

The wether has been quite good recently :D As for the cream I am going to the party vefore Creamfields this year and I will probably go to the festival as well. :D qrter: If you have got the time I noticed you never checked out Distorted High which is I would appreciate your views on that, because it is a lot more experimental than this. :) |

I've seen your avatar here before....do we know you? |
||||||||

It's the front cover of a BOC album or EP or something..I can't remember which one (Twoism?). So it is possible he just chose to use the same album cover :) |

Hmmmmmm....I think maybe you are too trustworthy.... |
||||||||

right, "distorted high" it is then.. nice backward stuff going on in the background - gives it some more texture. however, there is too little development imo. it goes on and on and on and now and then you drop the pitch. thing that hits me about your stuff is it almost sounds like you've got about one-third to the half of your channels muted - like I'm listening to background and ambiance and there is a lot to be added. I agree this is more interesting but still you could do so much more. I think it would be a good idea to drop concerns about structure and just completely focus on the creation of your sounds. sounds like you can develop a lot there and you'll make some nice sounds. (wow a sentence that starts and ends with the word 'sounds'..!) |

The above comment was to Jedi Chris :D qrter thanks for listening...when I am doing the music I am doing I just do it because doing it makes me happy. You are right though...I do actually drop a channel or two because I always end up thinking it sounds too much like someone else. Another point is that I have complete tracks in my head but I haven't worked out yet exactly how to produce the effects etc. on the laptop. It is funny but sometimes I half human beatbox tracks onto cassette so I don't forget the ideas and hopefully some day I will find out how to do them properly. I also need some decent software because Reason is far too limited in what it can do. :D |

get cubase sx and pluging galore! and buy a hardware sampler thats what i'm gonna do |
||||||||

for sound design I would say go for SoundForge (6.0 is the last version). its really one of the most easy but still sophisticated programs to use. you can make pretty good sounds with just the basic effects included with the program itself. however, get yourself a wad of plug-ins and just try stuff out. :) maybe for the time being it will be easier to create tracks out of the sounds you find while experimenting designing sounds. that way you learn how to use the software and later on can make the tracks as you envisage them. |

cubase sx is an excellent suggestion, and can be used for sound design, but is better for making the tracks, for structure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd use cubase for midi/audio arrangement and then either external soundsources samplers etc, and softsynths, it's all down to personnal prefrence i guess |
