This is beautiful, L-Spiro! Has Uha heard it yet? Here's a quick take of a bass solo in a groovy 7/4 track from Paul Gilbert's latest album. I know, it's definitely not perfect and I should a little look more happy to play :) Link to video

Thank you and yes she has. She said it makes her think of a black cat wondering through a forest where the exit is hard to find but the cat continues walking for a long time. I am glad that I could finally make a song that actually evokes an image of a story, or takes the listener on some kind of journey. I might extend this, because I have many more ideas to add to it. As for your bass, it’s funny how each player says he or she makes X amount of mistakes but the rest of us can’t find them. I don’t really see what makes your solo less than perfect. If you can play like that all the time I don’t see what is stopping you from creating/joining some big band. L. Spiro

Yes, that's quite an accomplishment right there!

Perhaps because it took me many takes to record it decently? ;) Anyway, thanks!

Here's some music I programmed just this week, if that counts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JawPlwjYKRA

Btw, this is the same song as I posted in my first post, but I made a better version (in terms of A/V quality) of this: Link to video The song is obviously not mine (no kidding?), but the arrangement is. I didn't look anywhere for it, but composed it entirely myself (as all the other guitar arrangements I have made videos of).

Mad World, by Gary Jules. I just had a big meal before recording this, so it didn't go as well as I had hoped, but it went ok. A small mistake at the end, and some minor mess ups, but nothing big. I hope you like it. Oh, and sorry about the camera angle. Link to video

Sfumato - Free Jam City A tune I got done with some time ago, which turned out pretty nice. What the hell, I'll paste a few more. Moisturize Desire with Sick

They rocked my room. No literally, an earthquake hit just as I turned on the first one. My feelings are mixed. You seem to know music, know your tools, and know what you are doing. The quality of the sound seems to be there. But the songs themselves don’t keep me interested. Lots of repetition and building-up in layers. I don’t want to be harsh because I think that is actually appropriate for that style of music, and I am just not a fan of that style, but on the other hand I feel all music should be as interesting as possible. Listen to Ronald Jenkees for inspiration. You can’t go far wrong then. L. Spiro

I think the "problem" with Free Jazz City is that it sounds too random and static, especially in the beginning. For the drums, it would have been nice to give each hit individual pan/filter/volume/pitch levels, for the part where the first instrument kicks in it'd have been nice to put some sort of gradual envelope over it. No need to go oveboard with it if it's just not your style, but little adjustments like that can work wonders.

Here's a couple "songs" I have worked on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we-uVzxYTKI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fwr0ssHaUU Here's a mix of Hardstyle tracks that I attempted to make: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zcp0vkG-IeM And finally, here's something that probably doesn't qualify as musical or skills, let alone a combination of the two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6fog9-wFwc

sonicpacker How do you make your music? What do you use? How much does it cost? I'd love to make UK style Hardcore, like that kind of shit you hear in Bonkers and Hardcore Nation. I think I'm able to compose great tunes, but I don't have the stuff to make my imagination real.

@Mister Epic I use FL Studio 9 XXL Producer Edition. It can be found here. I'm not sure if the exact version I'm running is still up for grabs, but if it isn't, something similar can be found there. The price depends on the version. I also have a few vst's which are basically used for different instruments/creating your own effects (depending on which ones you use). The vst's I have are Nexus 2, a version of Vanguard (Red Nova Virus Ti), and z3ta+. I also have a pack of basic instruments like drums, hats, cymbals, etc. *Edit* Oh, and for my Hardstyle mix, I used Sony Vegas 9.0 =P

I am still working on this song. I didn’t want to post until it was done, but I am so busy it will be a while until I can finish it. WIP 1 L. Spiro

Sets a pretty nice mood. It took me to something like an underwater ghost town.

Thank you. My goal with each song is to take the listener on a journey—I don’t want to make generic music, but the downside is that I have to discard 99% of my ideas. I am glad to hear that WIP 1 took you someplace, and I hope you enjoyed the ride! L. Spiro

Well, the sound quality is quite, quite bad, and I don't think my english ( or american ) accent is good, but here it is : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RALTY43PTE

Nice work, I especially liked the Star Ocean song. I thought it was a very relaxing song.

I'm ashamed. I have been using the wrong chords for Greensleeves for years. I made a new video with chords that should be more accurate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWZDdGntb3A

Warp, have you heard this album? If not, GO LISTEN, you'll love it!!!
