Rock midi... ?

[MadReizka]

I would like to have some c&c from this midi I did today.

I made the music for the The Scout's Story game. Some kind of a action... orsmthinglikethat..

A new version:

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

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.

[MadReizka]

Sounds, fine. I will add something like that! Thanks!

[MadReizka]

Anyone else? Some c&c?

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!

[Nine Toes]

Whoa!  That totally kicks ass!

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?

Thank you!

I use fruityloops.

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.

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

...unless you're tabbing Dream Theater songs. Mike Portnoy = Octopus

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.

Iam having hard time on downloading the midi from that address.

[Ytterbium]

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.
