Very Nice, really liked the repetitive electronica hook of the song. Nice uptempo drum track along with the secondary main key riff that kicks in around 2:11 rounds the track off nicely. Great job...
Really cool sound. Very spacey, could totally hear this for an arcade game of sorts. The drums are a little quiet and tend to blend into the background, but overall good stuff.
Definitely working on the drums but limited by $5 software bought from apple. Will do my best to make the drums sound better. Thanks for noticing! Will keep improving the track.
Don't put yourself down mate that's what we're here for!
No seriously I'm just an old fart who has a hobby and I post my stuff. Sometimes I get great feedback sometimes not.
I listened to it all the way through .... always a good sign and it sounds just fine to me. One criticism from me is .... needs a little more variety chucking in there.
You are right, I was thinking of using the repeat as a chorus and adding a new intro and in-betweens, kind of like 'rising nuclear sun' or 'I'm fine really'. This was just an experimental track I made and ultimately somebody wanted me to use it to remix their song. And I had to adjust it for better or worse to neutralize the tambourines in the background of his track. Not that it worked too well, but it sounded more interesting than the original. Looks like it will be a while before the new version gets uploaded. I'll probably do it in LMMS just to test-drive the software. Listening to your work you are definitely a long lost golden relic of the 90s will definitely follow some of your work in future. Danke's and Tumbleweed's works are already starting to shape my style and take it in new directions. Anyways, thanks for pointing that out. I'm lucky to such good feedback here, this is definitely a community full of quality musicians who too can be mentors with a few amateurs like me in between. lol.
So Dave, Welcome to music making. My advice to you is to be more assertive in your descriptive area when presenting this to the public. people feed off of the confidence and will more than likely listen. You could say. I'm new to this and I just made a fun tune that I like I was looking for your feedback from some of the experienced members to let me know what I can more with it.
As for the song, it has some nice chord changes and completely reminds me of this tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvbkMpssrjU
I put on the extended version so you hear how Giorgio Moroder builds this tune in the studio from an arrangers point of view.
Keep making tunes, keep practicing and you will get better and better. This one has a lot of promise.

Thanks Cru, looking at your and Silverman's comments, I've gotta feeling I'll have to start from scratch and take a new approach like I did with rising nuclear sun. The original version rising nuclear sun was in development hell for months and extending north of 6 minutes long. Will look into LMMS and Audacity a bit more to see if I can add more effects. This is the first time I used both Garageband V6 and V10 together and apologies if the sound is worse than previous due to messing with the equalizers, mp3 bitrate and compressors. Will change the text. I know it looks like the work of an amateur but versions change in quality as new suggestions are applied and new attempts are made. I've been in this game almost two years now. Once again thanks for the suggestions and constructive advice. -Dave
Hey Dave...now you`ve got a title for your track ...."Here Goes Nothing"...haha....but I like the tune better than the title & those comments were just my off-the-top thoughts on how to bump it up a bit....keep on...Ed
definitely upbeat Dave...something we could use more of in this mid Winter...nicely done, although I think you could bump it up even more with some low bass ( or some sub-bass hits)....you should mark your tunes as "Featured"...I think you would get some good feedback...Ed
Ok, thanks ed, I'm following your suggestion. Will update the track with improvements in the weeks to come, kinda busy with my other life right now but here goes nothing, lol...
That automatic drummer feature sounds damn good...better than anything I have been coming up with lately...does have a cinematic vibe Dave..kind of mind picture-painting music..a good moving along base for what ever you may choose to add, although it stands well as just a listening mix as it is...good job...Ed
I think you were right to just do your own thing on this one Dave...the original Right has been done...but if you can take the concept or some of the musical/beat ideas and go your own way, you usually end up with something more unique (& its a more creative approach)...the production sounds fine to me...the backing sounds could liukely be widened more and maybe a little more extreme panning/placement on the non lead stuff/percussion etc...but you haven`t squashed it to death & have kept the dynamics intact with a reasonable amount of power...There are lots of producers around here who know a lot more about the genre that I do so no shortage of help if you are looking for some input......well done...keep doing it....Ed
