Check my work (To The Spinning Tower)

[Jacian]

Hi All... I've been creating music with FL Studio XXL for almost half a year now, and I've created a song I'm really proud of. I've created complex songs, techno songs, orchestral songs, etc and all I've been proud of but not enough to post here Well, I was goofing off on the piano and I found a melody I liked. I wanted to keep things relatively simple for this song, but I found myself using a fast tempo. I used the BEST drum soundfont (Ken Ardency), a soundfont piano, with Sytrus Bass, Pad, and Sequenced something or other . I found a bongo loop off of the Freesound Project. All in all, I had fun making it and was done with the finished product in about two and a half hours. What I'd love is to hear comments on the song... if there's things that you think should me made better. I've struggled with stereo panning a lot (how to get the instruments to have their own "space" on the spectrum) and overall sound. I can also post the FLP file if anyone wants to look at it... If you guys like this, I might try my hand at Remixing. Thanks a lot, everyone!

this is fucking awesome, man. keep up the good work. you could start remixing, or doing originals. don't worry about panning, it's just what feels the most natural.

can't wait to hear more from you.

Thanks a lot! That really encourages me to try my hand at remixing! I'm excited now!

Thanks for posting this, I personally would love to have the flp froject file, it's a great way to learn how to do a bunch of stuff. Great job dude!

As a piano player this really interests me. I think I might learn the song too, although I hate learning songs from midis... Oh well, I have no choice.

There is some really good stuff here!!! Whoa, sounds pretty cool!.

Now this is what i think

- The piano sounds nice

- The phased drums at the beginning are really cool

- I think that you made the intro too long, the strong beats should've started before... and I would've started using the definitive drum and bass beats you used later in the song. Also, I would put a bass just when the drums start

- Maybe you should find the sound of a more "agressive" snare drum sample! A stronger hit, so your drum and bass beat sounds a lot more energic and awesome.

- Maybe you could try to add one more instrument to make the melody?

Anyways man.. I really digg this. Good work!

Wow that's a really good sounding piano. What effects are on it? Delay and reverb?

Soundfont link?
