Ok John, thanks!

Thanks for commenting guys! CheeseLord, you're absolutely right, lots of copying and pasting, and I should have taken a walk...or even come back to the piece a day or two later. Good advice. Umm, Sepharite if that first part is cheesy, do you think I should take it out? And to John and gameman, what exactly do I do with panning? Do I randomly pan right and left with different instruments? I'm kinda lost when it comes to that :S Oh and I definitely need to do something with that horrible ending! haha Thanks again

I think is my first attempt at even TRYING to make a complete song...and it was hard lol I came up with the melodies and percussion rather quickly, but I realized I still had to make into a "song" so to speak, and at about that time hell decided to break loose.Arranging the song was hard enough, but trying to make different melodic lines sound nice together was way harder. There was no creativity involved at that point, no beautiful inspiration welling up from within me...it was just me comparing notes one by one to see if they sounded OK together lol...yeah, fail.So apart from the ton of other things I need to work on those 2 problems were the most conspicuous. Oh yeah, I got my inspiration by laying down an Asian/Latino sort of rhythm loop first (Fl Studio).Hope ya like it ;) From Asia to Acapulco with Love...

P.S. Lovin the Maneater (N.Furtado) feel at the beginning

Oh John, Im not really good at this sorta thing :s lol But Ill try anyway...I was thinking of a synthy version of a french horn. Yeah, in any case it would be a synth. The first time around the piano by itself is fine (IMO lol) but as the power of the song increases, I think it should be more full. Im getting an inspirational song and rap (light, medium speed, not gangster hehe) vibe from the song. And as if the singers/rapper starts to belt it out or get really passionate that enveloping feeling you get from the french horn ((now synthefied)) along with the beat , will just burst out of nowhere and almost overtake the performers, just almost, for an epic climax followed by a resolution however you might like it. Oh and forget the wah wah thing, that was way out of my league to try to explain. Thanks for trying to understand! : Drue

lol I was like, Ive never heard that song before (Hung Up). But yeah, Ive heard it lots of times, I just didn't know the name And youre right haha, its not a fuga. Wait, fuga? Where are you from? Será italiano...o español? Just out of curiosity Just like you say, Ill probably do it over too! Thanks!

haha yip. FL Studio. howd ya know? This was probably the first "electronic" song I ever made. The funny thing is I used to hate techno/electronic, but I felt like it was the only thing i could do in FL. I'm sort of breaking out of that mold now.

Very cool! That will be all.

Listening to this old beat of mine, reminded me that musically speaking, I take pretty long to get to the point. But don't worry after the first 1/3 of the song it picks up lolI like the instruments though...I guess its Electronic, but has some old game sounding samples. Its shame I can't find the old FL file to modify it. Vintage

Oh and how about a nice wah wah sounding synth simple melody in the beginning. Well that was difficult to describe lol. One sec, Ill sing it for you. Whats that? Cant do that either? lol

lol wow Marius the whole razor blade q-tip thing doesn't sound to pleasant lol If I was any younger that comment may have been nightmare inducing. I like the song a lot! But I'm afraid it's not hip hop. Well it isn't hip hop, but you could make almost anything into a rap song! rofl @ it started off as hop-hop. Marius sure is blunt. But I suppose that's the most efficient way to get an idea across. So deal with it John. haha Im just kidding! What software did you use to make this one? Btw, I like the piano too. I think it needs to be in unison with another instrument though, (On that's a little heavy and full sounding) because it sounds oh, so lonely. Later! Drue

For a second there I thought that this really might have been the Final Ride lol Maybe even more specifically the Batman ride at six flags. I can see the hero battling it out at the end, but not like a super fast anime style battle scene, more like two greek gods getting to the climax of their battle after having fought all day and just going massive blow for massive blow, the dark sky booming with every one. It has like an epic "fate of the world depends on the outcome of this battle" feel to it. Great piece DRUE

I think Ill be taking you up on your offer J And just as you and gggg say I need to vary it (varying mean slowing it down for a moment lol, maybe with a crescendo sort of a big swell kind of thing....that might be nice) and maybe lengthen it. Do you have msn? So you can explain the daaaa, daaaa, daaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! lol Not sure I caught your drift

You know what else J? I think my music is straight because...well that's all I'm capable of. I sit down and try to stimulate my muse, but I can never really come up with anything that's not "straight" lol Am I making any sense? I guess that uniqueness that you sense comes from an uncanny lack of ability hehe Id like to improve, but the only tool Ive got is practice and I haven't been making good use of it :s Did anyone else realize i spelled fair with ai instead of ea. I really need to get out of Mexico now, my English is suffering immensely? And on another post i spelled write like right....My goodness.

Ok jhardindrums ill have to check that out! Thanks and Ouch! J! Duran Duran ballad...not exactly what i was going for if you know what I mean lol. With my limited knowledge of FL (which is now rapidly growing thanks to everybody's input), maybe Ill be able to use less crappy sounding samples lol. Oh and sorry about not having and ending, I get scared when I have to end a song so Ijust leave it at that hehe. Maybe it's not fair, but laziness...
