Sounds like you are using old PCM synth sounds (Liek the DX-7), your song made me go and get my very old Casio HT-700 out of storage to play around with it again.
cheers
Hi, no not critical at all. Midi has a distinct sound and I think you bring it to its full potential in this song. The song itself is what's important to me. If you played this with a full orchestration or arranged it with just acoustic guitars the song would stand up. My first instrument when I was 16 was a Casio portable keyboard and I found ways to get the most out of that while using 2 tape decks to overdub and a guitar chorus pedal to add depth to the instruments. My first Computer was a commodore Vic20 and I used to program it to play music back with it's square wave synthesiser using basic (poke 0001). Now many years later recording is possible much cheaper and with computers so I appreciate when someone takes a style of recording and gets the most out of it like you do here. I used to work (remixing, artwork) with an artist from Switzerland (Rachel Nusbaumer) and she used Midi as well on her classical and electronica works. So keep up the good work!
Thank you for the info, I try my best to learn from any comment left on my tracks. My first computer was the TI-994A, then I felt I had really arrived when I moved up to the Commodore. I'm in the process of revamping my studio (5 foot by 5 foot walk-in closet LOL) and I am researching for a new computer. Mine is 10 years old with 1 gig of ram. Time to upgrade!
Love this so far. If I were remixing it I would like to add more subtle guitar (Wah) sounds (Think Sade) and maybe an atomspheric pad coming in and out in the chourus. I also like to add some subtle white noise effects as well (a la Brian Eno) but that is more personal taste and my own personal style on my tunes than what you may need to do on this song I totally agree with midisparks that it needs a bit more percussion to build the tune, but otherwise well done, your on your way with a good track.
Yes they are midi as I make all my songs totally on the computer. Hopefully your comment wasn't critical. If it was, please tell me what was unpleasant about the instrumentation.
Well I hope you got an A for your efforts. That song was banging!. Reminded me of deep NY house from the late nineties to the early 00's. Listened from start to finish and downloaded.
Very good tune, though I feel it's much more a progressive house tune than a deep house tune. I like the way it builds throughout. Ultimately I hate the whole genre label thing especially when you come up with something different and pleasant.
