<div class="IPBDescription">And I need criticism</div> Hello people.
I'll get right to the point. For the past few days, I've been at my computer, using good ol' <a href='http://www.myriad-online.com' target='_blank'>Melody Assistant</a> to write tunes. Right now, I'm about halfway done through my last piece. Anyways, I have one part of it that I would like people to comment on.
And no, I'm not professional at making music or anything. I do this in my free time (which I have little of), so don't expect this to sound like some professional recording. This is played by the computer on a 5-MB soundbase! Don't expect miracles from the notes themselves either.

    i'sokay.

    A little generic. Still has some variation in it, which is good, do more of that. tone down on the bass just a tad. Really not bad but can be much much better.

    Anyone know a file hosting site that lets you actually open the file after you put it up? It seems I've tried every possible hosting option. Hope Yahoo Briefcase works... but ya never know.

    It sounds...blah.

    It'd sound alot better on a real piano. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    edit: Nevermind, I like it when it picks up. The faux electric guitar isn't too bad.

    Real piano? There's no fake piano in it.
    -Guitar
    -Strings
    -Bass
    -Drums
    Unless I somehow stuffed an extra staff in by accident and filled it with notes. Oops? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    The drum samples you use are atrocious, the guitar is pretty friggin good for a synth, but we can all admit it would sound better recorded, the base is a little bland and empty, but passible. You have a flair for good beats and melodies, with better instrumentals you could sound really really good.

    [edit] OMGsors Nite, look at postcount <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    That was excellent. Especially the end. Please keep expanding on this and bringing it here so we can hear it.

    Here are some of my earlier works. These were written back in the day when I wasn't using effect processors at all, so the sound was MIDI-only. *shudder* Sorry about that.
    <a href='http://us.f1f.yahoofs.com/bc/2eba72d4/bc/Other/preparation.MID?bfbHvjBBgG_Z_Lil' target='_blank'>"Preparation"</a>
    <a href='http://us.f1f.yahoofs.com/bc/2eba72d4/bc/Other/dunesofpassion.MID?bfbHvjBBhSwTsJUo' target='_blank'>"Dunes of Passion"</a>
    PS And please! Someone, refer me to some working file hosting service. It seems that with Yahoo, the address changes every half hour or so, so I have to keep updating the links. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    Unless... maybe a <a href='http://ca.briefcase.yahoo.com/wolf359mod' target='_blank'>link to the briefcase</a>, not the files, could work.
