Electronic ambience piece

Or something to that effect.

Give feedback if you hear something terribly off skew. Particularly if you can give any hints about mastering this better. Does this piece sound mastered to you at all and/or very top/bottom heavy. Things like that.

This is my first with an actual midi keyboard so I went mildly wild with the modulations. The actual melody doesn't change much in the course of the song. I realized pretty soon that those damn knobs and sliders are a lifesaver when automating your stuff.

Here's the jist:

I guess it's ok to ask crits about comp pieces?

Oh and if anybody wants info on Axiom 61 I'll be glad to serve.

It sounds really, really good.

Even though it's "ambient," you could still dance to it because it has a great beat. And the modulations aren't overdone, which was what I was worried about when I read your description.

Really great tune!
What I'd use on this gamecore(?) piece, would be a sequencer or some gated pad in the middle, above bass and below pads... There was very high and very low tunes, middle felt empty somehow.

Thanks for the positive comments!

Yeah you might be right about middle being a bit too empty. I'll try some different things as per your suggestion and post if I can make it work better. Maybe I'll even try to expand on this and mix it up a little more.

I really really like this tune it really fits the theme very spacey and to say its your first midi piece I'd be proud of it.

Wow! It's really good!

I'm just going to say, that I've been downloading the file for a while now, and it still shows estimated time 57 hours. That's too much for a 2,3Mb file. I just can't understand how that could happen when the bigbluecup forums load in some, 5 seconds. Why that's so slow, I have no idea either. God I'm pissed off.

Yeah the site where the song is hosted have been clitchy for the past couple days. It was propably due to the new version they were updating it to. Other than that it's top notch service at box.net. I highly recommend it.

Yeah actually, I must say that I liked the empty middle. I think it creates the spacious feel, and delivers great contrasting tones.

That's my thoughts at least.
Now going with gated pads; if you want to use gated pads I would suggest using them very far into the background used to spruce the melody and propel it forward.
