[Boogie Woogie Stomp [Cover]]

boogie woogie rocks

I recently went to Joolz holland private show and the whole audience got up and danced the roof off! hes such a good musician! is that midi or or you playing that live? because you need to tell me how the Fork you play like that!
i play a little boogy, but not like this.
Truly stunning and propa funky!

BeatDarkX responds:

maybe i can send you the sheet music?

[Don't Do Drugs]

perhaps drugs are a good thing LOL

i think, if drugs make you this cool, i want some.
ironic? LOL.
No. just stupid.
but this... this is ace. very funny, the dramatic change LOL.
and the "tech brass" preset on the Yamaha is hilarious. it is one of my favourite instruments LOL.

[Freakin' VAC]

LOL on a stick.

i think the content was fantastic! LOL. the singing was quite bad LOL, but then mine is AWFUL! i think the lyrics where great, and the song is always hilarious. well done! worth a good laugh!

[I know you love flutes]

LOL.

please select floor..... you have selected the eighteenth floor. please wait and enjoy our relaxing music.
LOL!
very nice flutes. yes i do love them. I love your keyboard too. and the whole feel of the song is splendid. you can really drift away with this chilaxin piec of awesomness. well done matey! seriously, well done. :D:D:D

Acrolith responds:

Haha, elevator music :D

In a rare moment of seriousness, I actually named this piece "Drift". I guess that would have been a fitting name, eh? :)

Thanks!

[No Homework]

LOL. good luck!

results today i think? LOL. take care!

ForNoReason responds:

Thanks! hope all goes well for all.

[Walking in the Woods]

right LOL.

LOL. no problem matey! right, that instrument, koto, sitar? cant put my finger on it. but it is possibly overpowering.... rather than moving the piece along with its presence, it dominates and forces the tune out somehow..... may i suggest a velocity change in that instrument, adding texture and variety to this instrument makes it moody and more realistic. the flute loop is fine. very dry and windy. LOL. duh. i love that unusual delay type effect on the flute.. really dreamy. may i suggest a second flute harmony to be added in near the middle? just a little quiter bit added on with the regular flute melody...
Also a gentle layer of wind effects may help the piece to "drift".

Also you could add extra layers to it. help it establish a thickness. it is not quite "whole". certainly add extra strings or synth. in terms of structure, you already have what is required. your theme, your mood, your instruments, your genre and style. I have merely suggested ways to improve it to push it further. Considering it is for a game, i should not be so brash and deep about it.
i have tried to be as polite as i can. I really treasure honest people on NG, especially one who has helped me so much! LOL. so if i offend you please GOD tell me!
now. to set it straight... I have merely suggested what "i" would do to make this song more than it currently is. The song itself is really good. Like i said. everything you have is fine! nothing out of key or anything. for a game, i would keep it as it is. Only if you wanted to push this piece further would you follow some advice. I hope i have not upset you, hope i havent blabbed on, and hope i have given you what you wanted. :D:D:D take care.
i am off to the year 4050. to watch the queen of englands head be reanimated. :D:D:D

SFaPiL2 responds:

First of all, thank you very much for the suggestions. I'll give them a try (to the best of my capabilities). I hope I'll come up with some interesting new layers.

Second thing:
"i have tried to be as polite as i can"
lol... you should know better ;o). You don't have to be diplomatic with me. If something sucks just say "hey, that melody sucks" or "stop making music, my ears are bleeding" (etc.)

I don't get offended with honest opinions (or, quite frankly, try my best not to) since all they're doing is making me learn from my mistakes.

Thank you once more for helping me out Stalagmite. Much appreciated.

Cheers

[Taking Out my Anger on NG]

anger.

if you made this instrument sound. well done. You have demonstrated clearly your ability to create the emotion that is anger, very well. however it is not used in the best context. take your anger out. but instead of just noise....Try enforcing emotions in a musical way that teaches us something, or that we can relate to. at least use this in a song or riff.
The idea is their. and you put it across well. However i did not much care for jumping out of my seat LOL.
take care and learn to channel your anger in less aggresive manners.
goodbye. :D P.S. you deserve some stars to cheer you up!
I care!

GoldbloodedDragon responds:

Oh, thank you so much for the 10! It helped!

I'll also try to vent my anger i different ways, like making stupid songs, not spam.

[hentai]

i think your great!

you are a smart voice actor! up their with the NG stars LOL. if only we could all be as popular LOL.
nice song. funny. clearly about spoons... and hentai. very funny. I have not seen any hentai. but it sounds so appealing now LOL.
Thanks alot for this last laugh before i go to bed! :D:D:D
Stalagmite,
