Stuck in a song :-( |
 |
Hi there, i've been busy on a song wich i am terrible stuck in. Lack of inpiration or idea's 
maybe you guys have some suggestions/ideas for me? Perhaps i have to bin this one, and start with a new fresh song 
Don't pay to much attention on the detalis of this one, it is not finished yet and the VST sequencer plays some tricks with me once in a while  ..

It's nice, but you got to work on some things to make it work better. The samples and drums are so conventional, whereas the melodies are really nice. I think the song itself definately is worth continueing. I would exactly make it longer, but work it out really good concerning how much it drives (in order to make people dance) and how it intrigues (concerning fx tricks, variations in the existing melodies, heaps of technical programming to make each pattern different than the other one).
Check out this forumthread, and listen to the songs that I advice Troy to listen to. They might also inspire you, since both the Breakfastaz as Blackstrobe perform the same melody-tricks as you perform. |

Thanx for the feedback Inge ...
I've listened to the songs in that thread.
Blackstrobe - Nazi trance f uck off (Deceive/play 12")
The Breakfastaz - Melody (Seconds Out 12")
In the blackstrobe song i found some realy simularity in the melody tricks i do, as u mentioned
I will dig some deeper in that style en technique later on(when i have some more time on my hands, been to busy @ work ).
And the track effects , i try to keep my music so "clean" as possible at this moment, but i sureley will experiment with them. I think i really have to work on the total groove in my songs, such as beat and creativity in the beat and the overall creativity in my trackz ... eventually i get there i'm sure ... in the meanwhile want to thank all the support and help i get from the nice ppl on this forum (and chat)  (PPL like yurself  )

nice music, with 4 accord, good sound quality?
Do you use only MT with some VST?
An idea: a half-tone shift up (#), or a full-tone (##) in the middle of the song can do some good effect.
Maybe shift-up, after that shift-down, and so on.

I've experimented with transposing, but it didn't give the sound i was looking for, i will give it a try, just to see what happens in this one
