A Game of Thrones theme.
Not finished much else lately. Similar to something on Youtube but I played everything from scratch.

Sounds orchestral and I like it. A bit short, as I would have liked to hear more and it's a music track crying out for some vocals. Well produced.
Fuck it decided to take the plunge and actually post something on here.
Standard disclaimer: i cannot actually sing. I do however enjoy the songwriting process so I might as well upload what I record.

Cheers. I was working from the TV theme which was only that long. Well the one I found on youtube anyways. Getting a bit better using orchestral sound.
Yeah, lirics / vocals. I need to do something about that for some other similar stuff in the pipeline too.
ta1984, that's pretty good. I'd like to hear it with a touch more reverbe. But that's probably just a personal preference. Maybe some light perrcussion.
Singing's better than mine.
I just had a listen to yours, they are really impressive. Tbh it is this level of quality that put me off posting, they are all like epic productions. Everyone here seems like proper musicians
I listened to slow time and the north and they are fantastic. Any with you singing on them?
I'm not into garage really but this is cool
funkyI never know how to critique peoples music other than saying if I like it, sorry. I would kind of like to hear someone rapping on this track if that helps?
Here is one i recorded on my old (shit) usb posdcast mic, which i think turned out not bad considering

Thhanks man. Nothing with me singing at the moment. I get really self conscious about my voice and the lirics when I have tried in the past. But mean to do something again this year.
Getting used to mixing through reading a bit, messing around with the gear and making mistakes. Like cooking I spose. Always learning and adjusting. i've made plenty of stinkers.
There's good articles here.

Know what you mean about sticking stuff up. But in reality, don't think anyone's gonna rip you apart for trying, even if the finished result is ropy.

That's a nice vibe. Difficult recording acoustic instruments and vocals outside a proper booth. Bit of natural room reverbe is good for acoustic guitar, if it's an electro acoustic, try and do a second track with it plugged straight in at the same time. Vocals though, you really want a flat sounding room. So you can add stuff later. Which is hard to get in a home I know.
You'd like this mate of mine I think, if you've not heard before.

It's an electro acoustic but i just use it as a standard acoustic. that's a good idea, i'll try that on my next recording.
this is a dreadful place for recording vocals - shared flat, so background noise + not wanting to sing too loud - but as long as i get the basic song sketch down i'm happy enough.
I'm going to listen to your mate now

Thank you. I'll check that link out. What gear are you producing your stuff on? Is it sample based or synths? Sorry for all the Q's i'm just always impressed by 'real' sounding productions
Electric guitar goes into Marshall preamp with speaker emulation outputs plugged straight into soundcard.
The recording software is Cakewalk Sonar. Which bundles some really nice synths with it. I use Session Drummer 2 for the drums and Garriton Pocket Orchestra. Also the Cakewalk TTS general synth. I play those with a Novation controller keyboard, which has some synth sounds of it's own. Got another little desktop synth I use now and then and a few other sofftware sampled instruments too, from places like www.precisionsound.net. All stuff I've assembled over the last 10 years. Mix everything in Sonar using mainly the FX that came bundled with it. Compressor, reverbe, delay etc. I rarely go on holiday so buy this stuff instead.
Heh. Nice use of David Mitchel there.
Not bad. I wanted more reverbe or delay on some of the synth patterns. Bit crowded in the middle. That's maybe just me.
This is class. I didn't even know what 'acid' was beforehand, but I like it
like a mad kind of house music. With wobbly shit going on. Very well produced.The david mitchell breakdown is amazing. reminds me of my economics lecturer
Last one for the night, another quick track I wrote in like 10mins so I could use my new zoom r8

Thanks for the comments, i'm still learning-it's only the 4th tune i've written. I still need to learn to mix those middle freq's better (and maybe not to chuck everything but the kitchen sink in).Heh. Nice use of David Mitchel there.

Thanks for the comments, as i've said before, I'm new to the forum and making music (after listening and djing other peoples tunes for donkey's).This is class. I didn't even know what 'acid' was beforehand, but I like it

The first time I saw that David Mitchell rant I knew I had to sample it.
It's a brilliant sample to use, and your production is very impressive especially if you are new to producing
How about old tunes?
This is the first thing I ever released, a white label back in 1997.
Just off to cement my teeth back in.
For some reason this makes me think 'aww yeahhh'. That is the extent of my feedback
Excellent ditty - you can actually sing actually
