Some of my music I'd like you guys to critique — General Discussion

These are two rather old ones. The first an instrumental guitar ensemble with bass and drums.

The second a straight-forward "rockish" song. With a vocal line, though no lyrics.

Before anyone asks, yes these are TOTALLY original. I wrote these from scratch a while ago.

Not bad... It's a lot better than what I'm trying to pull together. Midis are fun to work with, huh? 😊

i don't know... i can't listen to the files so i can't give a critique...

awesome stuff, D!

these especially on this Synergi soundfont i have on my SBLIVE!

Dechipher 08 Oct 2003, 20:11

Ah...I hate you. My computer is so sloppysounding and such, it has a crappy soundcard, and definately can't handle soundfonts.

A musicians nightmare, in other words...

Ich 08 Oct 2003, 20:26

Pretty well mixed. I liked your melody. I'm in music theory class, so I'm gaining a much better understanding of music and how it works.

Dechipher 08 Oct 2003, 22:56

I'm curious, what grade are you?

Also, how far have you gotten in music theory?

Nice stuff! I like the Fortune MIDI better than the AllGuitars one. They both sound really, really good, though.

Pablo 09 Oct 2003, 00:25

They're awesome; I can't decide which one is better.

Release some more! 😊

Just a junior, and I'm only a month into school. I can tell the difference between minor and diminished chords just by hearing them or looking at them. Plus I know my circle of fifths.

Dechipher 10 Oct 2003, 02:21

Cool, man, just wait till you get into 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, and other chord extensions. It gets crazy. Suspended chords rock. I wrote the first midi when I was about your level and the second one waaaaay before I knew anything, it was prolly the first guitar riff I ever wrote.
