A brief demo. Thoughts, comments, suggestions .. the what not.

I know the transitions are terrible right now, but I really had to share something with you guys. Haha. Been dormant in terms of music for a while.

On a side note, ARTISTS POST YOUR PROFILE IN THE ARTIST PROFILE THREAD

Pretty cool track! Like you said, the transitions are very smooth yet, but you've got a great idea going here!

Looking forward to the next WIP buddy ^_^

If anything please add a nice female voice to match with this song. It's just something that would go extremely great with words.

Updated to a heftier 4:34!

Opinions, critiques, feedback, comments .. hit me with them!

The transitions are still a bit too edgy and aren't quite smooth. But I'm loving 2:17 in your song. I keep on going back and forth. That section and there on I love love love love love love love really really lots. I would of started the song from there if I made this.

Ugh, it freezes at 0:04 x___x

But it sounded great. Your instruments sound nice.
And on some of your other work that liked my computer.

DnBHipHopConspiracy made my giggle because of how true it is. Creating those drum sounds without sampling however is talent.

truly and sencerely are really really nice. Could REEEALLLY be useful on an album, both of them. Piano songs, IMO, really flesh an album out as a whole. Drukqs by Aphex Twin had around three natural paino songs and 9-11 prepared piano tracks, and in my opinion that really gave the album an image and voice for itself. When and if you do compile an ablum, make sure these or songs like these get on it.

Definitely watching you, keep it up.

Can you reupload this? seems like somehow it got corrupted... filesize is .1 MB. (And could you maybe throw that short edit of Descent up on there too? :3)

aether · 03-19-2007, 09:02 PM

Sorry, guys. The file's been re-uploaded.

Also, here is the short edit of descent for Dr_1010:

Also for Paradox: I'm so glad you said that ... almost a third of my album is going to be piano stuff, haha. Thank you for the comments!

I welcome you guys to give aether a second go. It's not bad, I promise.

Timer Rabbit · 03-20-2007, 08:30 PM

"aether" ain't that bad! To me, I like!

Don't know what else to say, though. (Except for faving it/add to staion... Yes. Have a account as listener...)

aether · 03-21-2007, 11:33 PM

This sounds bad, especially coming from me since I wrote it, but .. when it transitions at 3:39 ... does it sound like the whole song jumped up a note? Or is that just me? Maybe I wrote the breakdown in the wrong key, haha.

**helix eternal** · 03-27-2007, 12:21 PM

just realized I never listened to this song, so I'm listening now.

The intro is really good. I love the gated bass you have going on there.

Like everyone has said, the transitions need work. I highly recommend using some sound effects, whooshes, bangs, crashes, those types of things. They can be used to hide that sudden transition feeling. Also try fading out instruments going into a breakdown to make the transition smoother.

Overall it sounds pretty good. Just smooth out the edges and you'll have a nice track.

WEABOO · 03-28-2007, 04:52 AM

Call me a noob all you guys want but I must know

Those strings at the 1:30 mark

Where can I get them

SOOOOO pretty, and I hear them in trance alllll the time

LOVE the song, and I hate most trance

Eshmasesh · 03-28-2007, 11:07 AM

The transitions definetaly need work. The snare at 4:08 was kind of wierd, too.
Please take out the handclap and replace it with something original, I'm so tired of the generic Kick-Hihat-Clap-Hihat-Kick-Hihat-Clap-Hihat ><;

aether · 03-28-2007, 06:43 PM

Thanks for the feedback guys. Sitting in a hotel room in New Orleans right now. Down here for a marketing conference.

Transition updates are coming in for sure, though I may extend it out instead of adding effects to emphasize the abruptness. Though, helix had some great suggestions ..

I'm not going to change the drums though.. the idea behind this song was commercial trance. Trying to get it to sound 'generic'. Most of the emphasis was on production, which I hopefully nailed down .. I can appreciate variety, but it's not what I want for this song.

Once again, thank you for all of your feedback! You should see the musicians on the street here. Incredible ..

IMHO, completely neglecting the quality of one aspect of a piece, especially to sound commercial, isn't a good way to emphasize production.
