ARGH!
I feel so stupid... >.<

Here's a quick thing I messed around with. It's an old song i'm no longer using turned into a piano only remix. Real simple to do, sounds okay.

Wow, cool! Only thing I found a bit weird was where the lower instrument (can't tell what it was) came in after the piano. It was the second instrument after the piano. Other than that, awesome!

Thanks CK.

Here's something else I'm working on, I'm gonna add some lyrics, some midi effects and hopefully my voice. Something I've wanted to do for a while. So here's the Midi version of it, surprise! It's a rock song.

EDIT: Just finished lyrics. Here they are.

It’s a shame to see you here inside my dream,
As the storm outside my window begins to fade and passes.
It leaves me with a numbing sense,
That something old has gone to ashes.
So why should I try,
To revive what’ll die,
If you walk through the door,
One more time.

I don’t want to,
I can’t take it,
Break these chains,
That make me fake it!

Why did you break your promise,
You’re golden word you called it.
I gave you so many chances,
But you screwed them all up!

Those days,
Of lonely waiting,
Waiting for you to come...
I started losing faith in you.
You gave me nothing that was true.

So I sing this song,
And I learn to fly.
I’m starting my own life,
Without you and your lies.
I know I’m better than this,
I know I’m better than you!

I don’t want to,
I can’t take it,
Break these chains,
That make me fake it!

Why did you break your promise,
You’re golden word you called it.
I gave you so many chances,
But you screwed them all up!

Once more I dream of you.
And I see, the awful things you do.
The drugs, the beer,
The lies, the fear.
One more thing, I can’t forgive.

I hate you!
I can’t put it any other way.
I write too many lyrics,
You don’t deserve them!

So don’t forget,
No.
Don’t you fucking forget!

*guitar interlude to piano/strings interlude*

I know you’re hurting,
But damn’t so am I.

I can’t sleep tonight,
There’s too much on my mind.
And I just want to make this right,
Even though there’s nothing left to find...

Why did you break your promise,
You’re golden word you called it.
I gave you so many chances,
But you never really tried...

**** if that's rock. LAME JOKE!!! Least, I think you were joking about calling that rock. It wasn't rock untill about a minute in.

Now.... where's mine!?!?!

EDIT: I forgot to say I liked it:p

An alternative intro? lol :p thanks

EDIT: And about yours, I'll get to that before Tuesday. I say Tuesday because I'm leaving for Kansas then, so I'll make sure to get it done before then.

Here's an old as hell MIDI I dug up. This is more than a year old, atleast the melody is. The last 15 seconds or so I just added recently, I may finish it. What do you think?

[aboutasoandthis]

This might disappoint you. It sounded more hip-hop than hard rock. Or at least until the guitar riffs came in. I think it was the intro. I'm not a fan of this type of music, but I did like this song. Nice job.

Actually not too surprised you said that. The woodblocks in the BG add that effect. I mainly called it Hard Rock cuz of the ending.

I like teh battle theme. Haven't listened to the other thing yet.

If you could make the battle theme have more intensity, but still keep the same upbeat-calm-but-parilous feel, it would probally be the best one I've heard in a long time.

[aboutasoandthis]

You know, this really minds me of Shadow of the Colossus a lot. Except 59 seconds and on. I think it would sound better fully orchestrated like in a movie or something.

Put it this way, if you didn't already give me an excellent one, I would've asked to use this as my final boss.

[drenrin2120]

lol, i'll take that as a compliment. Here's an edited version of Battle2. (BTW, that's not it's final name.)

[Meiscool-2]

Tell me ALL the intruments you used at the point of 20 Seconds to 38 Seconds, plz:p.

I don't notice much difference between the two. Does this one loop? It sounds like it does. Anyways, I would suggest taking out the last 20 seconds or so. Kinda reset the mood for me. I still like it though, of course.

[drenrin2120]

I used String Ensemble, Lead 8 (Bass) and simple percussion.

And yeah, there's really not much difference at all accept the extra length, and during the extra length(which is really a loop of the beginning) I added more instruments and an acoustic snare to make it 'heavier'. More 'intense'.

I may loop it and leave it as it is so people can use it if they like.

Dude, that is pretty much what I am literally going through with the girl I love right now.  Won't go into details, just wanted to say that...

Dren, my friend, you're gonna go far in with shtuff like this.  I think.
