Description : Took a shot at making a dubstep styled track using loops from this site.

Guitar Loops and Orchestral Drums created by ShortBusMusic
Drum Loop 1 (Moment of Madness) created by RaptureOfficialMusic
Drum Loop 2 (Skrillex Style Drum Loop) & Skrillex style Growl created by SkipyOfficialMusic
Drum Loop 3 (Banger Drums) created by Jorge Daniel Ramirez
Synth by SintheticRecords

Dubstep is not my forte, nor something I listen to a whole lot of, but I wanted to just give it a shot and see what came from it. Sorry about the crappy vocals, I recorded them before I had a good mic and it was refusing to pick up so I basically had my hands cupped around my mouth when I was singing lol.

I have no idea why I wrote the lyrics to this song. Was thinking of Fallout: New Vegas a little bit at the time. Technically, this is my second song based on Fallout lore, but I don't know if I uploaded the other one to here or not

The bit at the end is a reference to Pink Floyd's "In The Flesh?".

Description : A pretty apt representation of where I'm at in life right now.

I would call it atmoshpheric as opposed to ambient but I think this is the best choice out of the available options.

Made entirely with midi.

Comments and critiques appreciated. I know there's a point where the synth mallets (You'll know them when they come in) are a bit too quiet, particularly toward the end of the song, so I'm aware of that already.

Instruments used are piano, synth mallet, synth, and drums.

There's a bit of inspiration from Minecraft's music and the instrumental tracks on Linkin Park's "A Thousand Suns" album (the distinction between the two is pretty evident, I hope). The mallet part didn't come from anything in particular.

Enjoy.

Description : ccMixter.org has some a thing called Secret Mixter, where you need to make a remix using stuff from another ccMixter. This is where my track comes from. I was assigned for a sound engendering who had uploaded a professional Acapella. I have also gotten many samples from ccMixter, all listed here:

It's not my favourite kind of music, but I really enjoyed having done it.

It's the first time i did something a little bit decent. The drums are rubish, but I really tried to push on Brass. I kind of fell in love for remixing when I had recorded a sax line on Reason, but it sounded a bit fake. Then i founded a sax sample which perfectly matched with the sax i had recorded. Played together they didn't sound fake.

Remix is beautiful!

Description : A little bit of an experiment I did with fl studio's strumizer and arpeggiator tools, and it sounded a bit dull, so I remixed it and now it sounds a lot better. I used the vst plugin Tone2 Gladiator 2 for the bass and the pad, I used refx for those chimes (which was originally a piano) in the middle and at the end, and also for the drums (with the exception of the kick which was fl's fruit kick) and I also used Nexus for the sweeps.

I spent a good amount of time on this track so please take time to review my song.

This song was heavily inspired by above and beyond (especially the intro) and also is inspired by some amazing piano artists on youtube.

Enjoy!

Description : Hi Guys n Gals,

While scouring the accapella section i came accross a cracking accapella called lost and found by Dvickers.

EDIT:

Iv just updated this with the finished thing..

Iv added a little string part in there as i felt the lower mid range was a bit empty in places, and iv done a little bit of a re-arainge nothing fancy just a snip in parts, there are still a couple of treble issues here n there but due to time restraints iv not been able to iron them all out...

Please do have a listen as any and all constructive input is welcome..

Oh and another big thank you to Derek for the vocal :)

Description : This track was made back in late 2008 when i was really startin to dig this drum n bass ting. I saw Pendulum live and loved their drum n bass "live rock band thing" goin on. That inspired me back then, and I've always played guitar and wanted to use it in a drum n bass track without being too over the top as to be the main element, and i also wanted to include a live feel to the drums, so i spent a bit of time fussing about with them in Live's Drum Rack with some carefully sampled snippets of a few tracks i was listening to at the time. I think i slammed this one in Izotope Ozone quite a bit on the master buss, but anyway.....you live n learn. Sort of adds a gritty edge to i think. Anyway, hope you dig it. Bass includes the use of NI's Massive & guitar through NI's Guitar Rig 2. Enjoy responsibly

Description : Starts out in a jungle scene at night with some lfo'd bass and then there's the ramblings up to the 1st drop, which are probably overused a bit in hindsight and don't really make sense to the jungle scene.........so use your imagination...........i just wanted to use some sort of odd vocals that weren't sung at all. Anyway, the 2nd break has an unusually long build up to the 2nd drop which has this scary sample that has been used earlier on throughout the track come smack you right in your face along with the bass. So get ready!! Coz its gonna' hurt! A bit more loop orientated in this one, although still featuring some programmed midi stuff & some samples courtesy of freesound.org users,eric5335,yewbic & rutgermuller. Enjoy responsibly.

Description : This is good IDM music.
Used FL4, vocoders, no synths for melody here, only samplers. No loops.
Drums made with some kits and recorded some by mouth. What u hear at begining is my beatbox(processed some) beat in a slicer.
The 8 bit music effects made with random arpegiator so actually music. Also some of melody playes throgh vocoder + drumsinth live with some random parametrs from the formula controller.
So that medloy sound a bit different each time. I not have source files anymore for earlier than 2009 as I said.
The track really is 2004 year.

Description : it's got more PUNCH than before!!!

Tried to write an anthem here...hence the title!! I always try and make a song I would dance to in a club...And I would dance to this......
Ok, so this has been my project for the last 8 weeks or so...I would have finished it sooner, if I had more time!

I have used an acapella of Holly's and let her know, however I have asked her if she might do another bit of vocal for it, as It is a wee bit repetitive at times (I think....maybe just because I've heard it sooo many times!!!)
Hope you all like it, and reviews and suggestions are always appreciated..
I am quite proud of this tune...BIG synths amd melodies as always!

Party On!!!

Description : I'm not sure if Ethnic's the right genre for this or not ? It does have a Far East feel to it but I also added a kinda drum n bass beat as well. This was a bit of an experiment for me as I like some World Music and always wanted to write something that incorporated this style/influence, as with alot of my stuff I've tried to give it a cinematic feel. For this track I used Magix Music Maker 12 deluxe. Some of the loops have been edited and/or had fx added and I programmed the drum pattern myself. Like I say, it's a bit of an experiment, so any feedback would be much appreciated, thanks.

Description : I want to thank everybody for the feedback on this track so far. This is now version 3.0. I made some adjustments to a few off sounding things that were messing around with the groove. Added some additional sound FX and loops. It sort of brings out the meaning of the song a little more.

I'm still interested in hearing any comments, ideas or suggestions on improvements to this track. Anything that sounds a bit off and where.

If you've never heard the previous versions, it's a blend of Industrial with a bit of dance. A sort of NIN, INXS, Billy Idol bend of things, at least so I've been told by other people.

Description : ACID6 & loops ... just jumped into a new track and this is what came out ... I tried to keep it a bit mellow and I had a hell of a time getting rid of some buzz in the mix, but it ended up teaching me a little bit about compression, so that was worth it ...

enjoy!

Description : This song is a bit of a fusion between Rock, Techno with an Angry Emo Edge to it. It's about coming to the realization that the other person in a failed relationation was never there for you at all.

This is a work still in progress, up to the 7th Demo.

I first recorded a punchy almost rap singing style vocal track, a sort of thing you might expect in a Linkin Park song. In the pre chorus I sang some parts in A Minor, over top of the driving Em, G, D, C. The Chorus I broken into smooth hooky chorus. I added a Lower Darker Vocal track after some people suggested it. One person turned me onto The song "Nobody" by Skindred, I had never tried singing in a dark low voice like that before. Was a new experience, plus a bit of a challenge to do it with the kind of mic.

This was the first original song I came up with using MAGIX Music Maker (basic edition). The Drum track is from the stock drum loops. I used the Silver Synth plug-in for the Bass lines. Used a few other loops for extra textural overlays. I played the Guitar tracks myself. I did add a second clean guitar track to the chorus and used the Wha effects of Music Maker. So the driving guitar riff is really two tracks laid down of me playing the indentical thing. One Dirty an one clean with the Wha effects.

I produced the first demo in the matter of a weekend, while getting the feel of how the software worked. Following weekend went back and added the second vocal track and made additional adjustments.

I'm hoping to totally redo this song, after I decide upon and purchase software and Hardware. Any feedback on this work in progress would be appreciated.
