Description : This is an old piece of mine that layers strings on top of more strings on top of more strings. I think I did it with FL6 using sytrus for the string voices, FL's keys for the piano, and a 303 for the drums.

It builds slowly, but it's worth listening through to the end, I think. I'm toying with the idea of going back to this and cleaning it up. The drums feel like they need some work.

Description : First version of a song for a top down shooter my buddy is making. This is the frantic speed version of this song at ~125bpm instead of the mid 90s it's at in this one... or will be when the upload decides to work.

Piano rompler with a LOT of keys going on at once, a really simple synth rhythm, and a whining organny sound in the background.

v0.2
125bpm

v0.1
98bpm

Description : Another potential game track.

Pulsing "cello" from Toxic Biohazard, a few drum sounds from deadmau5's sampler CD, some swung piano, and some strings.

v0.2
Tempo raised to 144bpm

v0.1
It could use a tempo kick, but otherwise, it's an interesting sound.

Description : Something I threw together in half an hour, then put some moog samples on top of. Not sure what I'm doing with it, but... at least it's something. I've been having trouble getting anything out lately.

Work sucks. Time to go to bed so I can go to sleep and wake up to the daily grind... :-\

Anyone have any ideas on the genre? It's 135 BPM, so I figured "house" is generic enough, but I suck at these things.

Description : A few loops and samples from Deadmau5's CD with effects thrown on them and two DSK voices.

This is the beginning of a trance progression. Advice/criticism would be appreciated.

Description : Some simple delay and reverb on a few DSK voices.

Work in progress... still trying to figure everything out. If you listen to this song, please leave some feedback; I would appreciate it.

Version 0.1 notes:

I'm using white noise at -60db to chop out the super highs so I get that "flat recording" type sound that my synth work never seems to have. I'm not sure how effective it is. I'm debating running a little louder noise through the flanger or some sort of phaser.

The piano is still very rough. It will probably get cleaned up and recorded without the use of a synth (and the associated lag 'cause my poor computer can't keep up) eventually.

Description : v0.1: Recorded without a tempo, then transcribed it into a working tempo and split bass out from melody. Bass is a rhodes voice by DSK, high part is DSK akoustik keyZ. .Drums are sliced chillout loops played at half speed

v0.2: added staccato flute soundfont and synthy oboe soundfont, each recorded in one take

v0.3: lengthened track, changed fade and balance on piano and flute, animated reverb filter on piano, changed volume envelopes

Description : The beginnings of a project? Maybe...

Drum loops, sax, a rhodes, and some effects.
