Garpocalypse Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I remember I used to do this alot in my pre-remixing phase. Staying up all night and seeing what comes to mind is loads of fun and usually I would end up with something decent to listen to for driving at night. SPEAKING OF THAT! if you have the time on a weekend or something. After you write something load it up on your mp3 player and go for a midnight drive. It's awesome. Nice groove. Definitely sounds like it was written with some night time influences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love night-time driving through big cities or even more so, driving just outside of the city and parking on some hill that overlooks the city at night. As a drummer once put it when we were driving late at night coming up over a hill and the city was off in the distance beneath us, "I love this. It's like we're looking down on a galaxy." I also think even this short tune proves to me that I still write best with good old fashion notation lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelCityOutlaw Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I'm gonna expand this into a full track. I feel like some Ridge Racer could be added to this. Although, I've done lots of remixes lately. Perhaps this should just be total original. Edited September 23, 2013 by AngelCityOutlaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpazilla Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hey, I like this! It seems like something that one would hear in an action movie. "City at Night" for sure. You should definitely expand it! I can envision some wicked cool lead work in between the piano parts, some really cool portamento synth lead. Bass can be louder. Kick sounds great but could be punchier. The piano sounds really good but I'd tone down that reverb just a bit... I get what you're going for but you don't want it to bleed. Also, you could add some stereo widening like at 0:29 when that growly thing begins, or even pan it gently back and forth. Don't be afraid to add fun little percussion loops and such, very wide spread, too. I'd love to hear some more drum variations as the song progresses. Maybe some kind of slower breakdown next? Nice start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelCityOutlaw Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Thanks for listening and the tips, Kristina. I'm writing more to it now. Also going to be recording some car sounds for it. A friend of mine has one of those tricked out Japanese tuner-cars so we're gonna record some engine sound and stuff.

Dissidia Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Yeah definitely expand. The beginning pre-piano totally sounds like a Tekken stage to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yami Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 You definitely need to expand that one. I need this for my night drives, this and my BMW really go together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelCityOutlaw Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 You definitely need to expand that one. I need this for my night drives, this and my BMW really go together Well, I expanded the composition. It's now 3:30 and has some new parts added. I'll share it once I improve its mixing and add in some of the sound effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
