Very Crappy (heavy, ??) tracker music, Part I

[MadReizka]

Okey, I was bored and I wanted to do something simple with a tracker, and here is the resault:

The solo quitar sucks big time. Very repeating, cant make better, I am a dork, some help with the solo quitar would be nice.

Can you save it as a wav or something? I cant open it...

It could really use a distinct bassline imo.

I noticed that you have one already following the guitar but it s well hidden underneath it and is hardly noticable.

Either change the bass sound to one that s thicker or raise the volume of the current one.

Another option would be to make a different bassline which could also make the song a bit more interesting.

(The current soundformat prevents me from overdubbing with an example bassline)

Yeah, the bass line is hidden because the guitar. I will raise the volume of that, but what about the solo quitar?

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I am about to change the snare fill at the end of each pattern. It sounds great for the few couble of times but then it starts just to sound like turd.

I'ts virtually impossible to make guitar sound right by tracking. If you're a guitarist, or know one, you should really consider having a real guitar instead. At least if you're planning to use this. The riffs are ok though, if you imagine them played for real, and the drums works fine although you're probably right on the snare thing. Repeating drumfills is seldom a good idea. Either just stick with a beat or have more different fills.
I would probably add a deeper bass playing a different riff. Could be pretty rythmic though.
You should ditch the solo or do something completely different. It really fills no purpose right now as it's just playing the main riff in a higher pitch.
I would also work a lot more on dynamics. Now it's basically just playing the same thing over and over again (ok a part in the middle w/o the drums, but it doesn't do much good, really, just shows that the guitar really has no punch at all).

I know these things need a lot of work to be done in a tracker, but trackers really aren't what to use if you want to make rock music.

If you don't play the guitar, and don't know anyone who can do it for you, I would advice you to look into a neat "little" application called Virtual Guitarist (Steinberg published it). It's probably the next best after a real guitar (actually it _is_ a real guitar).

Sorry if I'm hard on you, but as you published it here, I guess you wanted criticism.

[MadReizka]

Yes! I wanted critic! And I know, tracker is not the right program to make rock.

And, no, you were not hard on me. Truth that was.

Winamp fucks up all tracked music.. Just doesnt sound rite..

[MadReizka]
