My First MIDIS

[lilsniffs3]

Just downloaded Anvil Studios, and I made one song, and it sucks.

I am also working on the song "The Rose."

The intro was kinda cool but then... Why on earth didn't you add another instrument? :p You just kinda played random keys after the intro.

The rhythm is very misleading.  I was just waiting for that instrumental staircase typa thing.  You left me hanging.

The Intro was nice, but after that the midi seemed to be simply slapped into place.

I agree with what everyone is saying. It started off interesting. I would have at least four primary tracks (melody, counter melody, bass, drums) and then work with creating a distinct melody (verse and chorus is a common, but effective method) and finally try harmonizing. Also, I noticed that the drums were only toms. It sounded like you could've had a nice beat there using the usual kick, snare and high hat (kick = C3, snares = D3 and E3, closed high hat = F#3, open high hat = Bb4). Try using more of those for your drum track. It's best to begin with just the kick and snare.

Keep working on it!

This new song is still in the works. It is an intro to a theme song for a character in my game.

A basic Saria's Song/ Lost Woods. I think I screwed up at the end, though.

EDIT: Anyone know if this song is in 4/4 time or 3/4 time? I'm going to add broken chords as the harmony.

[coasterkrazy]

It's in 4/4.

Thanks!
