It's very not much like anything I usually listen to, but I get kinda... Aquabats type of sound? Red Ryder posted:I've been working on my first album for far too long and I finally decided it's finished: My first thought is that the clipping guitar is probably a bit too high? This is just me listening to the first song though, you've got a nice voice and it is a shame it has to be hidden so deep in the mix  I just had a single listen through all of this and I'm loving the songs, is there anything in particular you want feedback on?

I'm writing some sort of, video-game inspired album/ep right now, which all started when I wanted to make a simple cover of Guile's Theme from Street Fighter 2 (which I honestly think is probably the best track from any game). It's been tough, since I had the hardest time trying to figure out how to play the bass to it. The tracks I've written so far from me (not) managing to cover the track are these; https://soundcloud.com/skriket/bob-the-builder-does-not-like-the-union-representatives-who-want-him-to-stop-hiring-illegal-aliens https://soundcloud.com/skriket/bitcoins-is-false-advertisement-they-dont-bite-or-are-actual-coins https://soundcloud.com/skriket/mickey-mouse-sure-loves-his-coke-right https://soundcloud.com/skriket/in-the-stars-our-future https://soundcloud.com/skriket/christopher-walken-on-sunshine https://soundcloud.com/skriket/donald-sutherland-is-probably-not-a-virgin https://soundcloud.com/skriket/shave-me-sean-connery-hanging-from-a-cliff I've got two other tracks I'm just going to lay down some programmed drums on, which are the following; https://soundcloud.com/skriket/deliverance-old/s-NXOSb https://soundcloud.com/skriket/the-silence-old/s-Rg3U6 That's 9 tracks and they honestly don't have a lot in common which makes it a bit hard to figure out what order they should come in (or if I should even include them), the thing linking them together is mainly just me going wild on the guitar and a _lot_ of layers, which I feel is my biggest weakness as a composer ; I have a lot of ideas, which I try to shoehorn together. Less would probably be more, but then again, I love layers because it allows people to find them after several listens. Mixing too, I know that if I stay too long on mixing a track it'll just come out worse. Stuck in details and all that. What's everybodys approach to mixing? For me, I do a quick run through the whole composition at first and using automations on volume etc to get the general gist of it at first, then I start mixing the drums and later I'll try to fit the guitars together within the mold that is the drums.

syntaxfunction posted:I guess I'll join in. I've been writing an album on and off for years. Since I started playing and writing music. It's gone through many iterations. A five track EP, a 30 track double album, and so on. At the moment I have 33 tracks written to various stages if completion. Of those I cut it to ten tracks for the album. I wrote a song a very long time ago that's literally Solid Body, that intro riff is (except for how it's played) note for note what I had written which I just find amazing because it is beautiful, and cool that we managed to come up with the same thing. Riffs are solid, the songs are very nicely written and I think you've got some good stuff here! I think the only thing that is lacking is a more driven vocal approach because what you've got I think could be really huge.

orly posted:I just got into composing / remixing and did a bunch of DOOM remixes + original compositions inspired by the game: I really dig this! I also got really into making Doom-inspired tracks (although I'd say you did a much better job not only in recreating that specific sound but also in composition) last december. My stuff is here, it's all guitar bass and drums without any true melodic instruments (I decided to put limitations in instruments and length of time, trying to build the songs on the strength of the riffs and keeping it short enough to stay interesting the whole way through). https://skriketmusic.bandcamp.com/
