Post your new tunes (z)

I don't listen to a lot of electronic music, so I'd appreciate a critque of this or any other of my electronic tunes. I apoligize for using the overused sample that used to come bundled with FL Studio, but it just fitted in perfectly!

Not much in the way of variation to the track, such as tempo changes, other drum beats added as fills perhaps? Drop outs, other instruments coming in, a crescendo, quiet pieces, space.

That's a few of the things I have problems with, is their a fairly formulaic way of writing drum beats?I can write them, but struggle to do so consistently to have enough variation. Also is the classic dance-style dropout usually just acheived with a low pass filter?
 
I'm no expert on dance music, as my main instrument is guitar. I suggest you have a look at a video of a dance producer putting a track together for some tips on this. Computer Music features producers in videos on their cover mag CD. Maybe YouTube? At the end of the day it's what you want from a track that matters, but some tips and guidance may point you in the right direction of getting you there.
 
Mungy, seriously, I could see this track working if you stopped singing and recruited a female vocalist for the singing parts. Keep the small child in for added interest (it works), but not too much of it.
how dare you accuse me of singing :mad: :D
my music at the moment is not really for consumption, though it may cause it in some cases, i am entertaining myself. my wife is ill perhaps terminally for all we know, music is my release valve. as we home educate, it is getting increasing less likely to record anything without my daughter, a carer or my wifes buzzer getting recorded in the process.
I'd love to be a musician, i want to learn to sing, i want fame fortune and everything that goes with it. right now i'd settle for a couple of hours of uninterrupted recording time :D
 
Sorry to hear of the illness in your family Mungy. My best wishes to your wife. Your daughter sounds wonderful. :)

People! Definitely check out quadders! I've never met the lad, but he's only a youngun, but very talented. There's all sorts of genres there to satisfy most electronic music tastes. He's pretty good at plundering the old school for inspiration.

We had it on at a small celebration round at ours last night and much of it went down a storm :cool:

Good stuff. I liked 'Project 6'. Just some thoughts on that track. I was expecting some big banging beats over the top, but they never came. Also, I wouldn't bother with sampling others, as in 'Sometimes I Feel Like'.
 
These are a couple of recent creations:

I'm rubbish at describing music well but the first one is built around a dreamy Hi-Tech Jazz style UR groove and the second is more of a flat-out dizzying synths and guitars workout.

The second track feels a bit cramped - no space at all and I can't detect any melody. The first is more easy on the ear. You have a good vocal style.

There's no intention of the second track being easy on the ear, the lyrics are about social chaos and genocide ffs!
 
I wasn't aware of the philosophical thought behind the track. I was just giving you my thoughts on the music production. Social chaos and genocide, although harsh subject matter can be musically pleasing to the ear. I cite 'Armagideon Time' by The Clash as an example.

There's no doubt it can be but it doesn't have to be.

Indeed, but I note there's some space in the piece you posted and IMHO, despite the subject matter covered, I find it a pleasure to listen to also. Thanks for posting. :)
