Title: Rock midi... ?
Post by: MadReizka on Sat 06/12/2003 13:30:06

It's short but good, I especially liked the drum beat. ;D

I think that you should add some more instruments into the song, and make it a bit longer.

Here's my version with 2 solos:

I hope this helps you.

I like the new version, especially the drums. But there's a "humming" noice in the background (guitars?) that IMHO should be toned down a bit.

The tune would fit perfect into an action scene or similiar.

Those two solos do a remarkable change!

Whoa!  That totally kicks ass! :D

It sounds good... it's catchy, I especially like the triplet hi-hats you added in the second version.

What do you use to make your music with?

The second version was catchy. It reminded me of the countless hours I incidentally spent listening to the Doom midis when I'd play that in marathon sessions.

My version:

Some tricks with heavy metal:

- always use an 'indian-sounding' scale for guitar solos.
- always put cymbals on the accented beats.
- make sure that the drummer has only two hands.
- bass slides and drum flams are a must.
- crazy drum solos are a must. (although the one in my version sound quite right)

I agree sounds just like that Doom song. Man I loved that music. If your going for an action feel in your game this is great

hey nice tune

but I gotta comment on the rhythm guitar. it's way too static.
first of all

if a rhytme guitar plays, they at least play 2 tones (1st and 5th), I think it'd sound better if you did that... also it could use a bit variation. I'd try it myself, but cubase is giving me hell  >:(

Yes, it sounds that way, but it's only humanly possible to hit two drums with sticks. Any more at a time, and you have to do a flam.

Does anyone know a good place where I can get an FL Studio 4 Fruityloops tutorial? I downloaded the demo, but I can't figure out how to use it.

Sounds great! Only bad thing is that I dont know how to do those things like that because I have never learned music in schools or nothing. But really good work!

EDIT: And with that I mean, that I might get a good tune in my head, and put it into my pc, mix it bit, but when I need to move fowards, to do solos and stuff.. no can do!

Nice, I like the drum-solo bit, but I'm not to thrilled about the guitar solo, too much thrills and frills. But then, I'm a punk dude.

It does rock as much as a midi can rock. :)

Nice job, all of you. I like those pitch bendings in Geoffkhan's song, unfortunately FruityLoops isn't the best program to make those. It's possible, but you can't make it very accurately and so can't really make it sound good.

Pitch bends are one of the most important parts in a song! That way you can put expression into melodies or riffs.
