    Opening Song (?)

    in Post Your Original Music!

    Posted

    However, at first sight, I think the guitar sounds a bit rough. Have you tried with an acoustic guitar or different effects ?

    /QUOTE]

    Thanks for your comment.

    I know that the guitar and also cymbals sound like shit, thats because i made the song on Reason 5 with virtual instruments, but i want to record it again with a real guitar, drums, keyboard, etc. etc.

    Chiptune - Happy Ending

    in Post Your Original Music!

    Ok, so let's look at your music here.

    You have the G F# Fnatural E bassline section as an introduction.

    It's roughly a G chord, D65 chord, G42, C6 progression that happens 4 times.

    That's your introduction.

    Lets label this A

    Then you have. C, D, G6, Eminor, C, D, C64, G. A nice catchy melody as well.

    Lets label this B

    Then we have A again with a melody. Let's label this A'

    So you have A B A'

    What can you do?

    There are a lot of options but let's kind of keep it simple here. What are you going for and what sort of a sound do you want? Any ideas? Do you want the tune to loop like in a videogame? Or do you want a definitive end?

    My first suggestion is to do something like bring back B. You can repeat it verbatim or better yet, why not make it slightly different?

    So

    A (Intruduction)B A' (A with melody) B (write this)

    If I was to write a second B section or a B' I'd use the chords

    C, D, G6, Eminor, C, D, C64, Em for a deceptive ending right on the downbeat. Then I'd continue the E as a bassline for a measure or two.

    This is a transition that can go a number of ways.

    options

    1) Transpose the opening part to the key of A instead of G and put a solo over top. Then you could go into B again and transition at the end back to G and loop the piece.

    2) Go into a bridge (New contrasting section in E) Then from there you'd go back into B twice (Do some variations for fun) and then you could end the piece.

    3) Use the bassline on E to walk down maybe with a riff to C and go back into B again. This is a great way to do an ending.

    4) You could walk the bassline down to C and do a bridge in D major or D minor.

    So I'm suggesting something that is similar to a song form although I have plenty of other ideas as well.

    So far.

    A B A' This is what you have.

    A typical song would continue with B or B' followed by a bridge C, and then back to B and B would happen twice.

    so

    A B A' B C B B

    Or A B A' B A'' (solo in new key) C bridge B B

    Or

    A B A' B C Bsolo B'

    Just some ideas to get you thinking. Experiment and see what works. See what you like. I hope this is helpful.

    Thx for your suggestions. My idea with this song is to use it in the credits of a game, that's why its called "happy ending"

    Water Stage Song - "Like a rainy day"

    The idea of this song I think is complete but I want to record some sounds again with real instruments (like the guitar), because I composed it on Reason 5 and the sounds are too fake.

    The title of the song is "Como un día de Lluvia"(Like a rainy day) and it could be used on a water stage, rain stage or some place that is cold i think, that is what the song make me feel.

    I hope you like it.
