Hi .. Can i ask what you think of my tune

ah well .. forget that ... seems im not allowed to share my link with yous til i submit 25 posts ..
 
oh well ..
 
ETA - forget that, about me saying forget that ... i reached my 25 posts now ..

don't know about the others, but I am ready! What will your tune be? Metal, Country, Rock? Spit it out!

alternatively ... you could try youtubing 'not a bad day after all'  ... may yield it as first result
was gonna write this at the end of the last post .. but rea;lised i could make a whole new post out of this info ... only 2 to go now

cheers for the sarcasm .. it served no purpose other than making me respond in annoyance, and getin my silly post count up one ..
 
i could do the things you said .. or choose not to .. i certainly dont need the obvious pointing out to me tho .. if this is what you share with me just now .. i doubt i want you to shzre your opinion of my tune ..
 
yes .. i have also been a member of the forum for quite some time .. and did go in other peoples threads .. and felt completely intimidated by them .. and when i gave my opinion, i was reminded to be sure to share my next tune .. pretty much put in my place with attitude .. pretty much the same attitude you juse came across with
 
so as you like to point out how i want people to give their opinion on my tune, an d am not doing the same for others ... maybe a bit less finger pointing, and more understaning .. am not guilty of the reason as to why you suspect i dont post so often in the forum ... its because i feel copletely out my depth ... and mainly due to people like you with attitudes lioke that...
 
instead of saying what i want to say to you .. i will say .. god bless

thanks very much james ..
appreciated ...
i posted it on ATS when i couldnt post a link in here .. the general conensus so far is .. not bassy enough . and they 'clashy hi hats' .. or 'brassy' noises are not well received :D
 
i can understand ... but at same time ... my taste in music has always been kinda weird, like, radioheads newest style .. or mobys .. which obv wouldnt appeal to everyone .. but i and many others still love it .. in a similar way .. i wonder if the 'drums' really don't go well .. or if its just peoples tastes are not aligned to my own .. the same as some ppl dont like radiohead .. oh .. not to compare my stuff with theirs .. just the concept  ..
 
anyway .. am rambling .. i should really wait til i wake up and the coffee kicks in before replying i think :)

ahh the dog .. yeah james ... hes my world ... and fast like a bullet ..  :)

when you say stands well on its own .. you mean the strings .. as they are .. alone ... without the percussion ?

No, I mean the string part/melody works fine without any further development. The drums are OK, but could maybe use some bass to help them along, they seem a little lonely 

Yep, I like it. I too thought that maybe the hats were a little "in your face" at the start, but then I think I heard what you were trying to do and really got into their sound, as a kind of solo percussion effect. I just sat and listened, without watching the video, and it came across as a lovely instrumental.

FWIW I meant what I said in good humour. I thought being a native of glasgow that you would understand the humour. Seems not.
 
However, the point remains that you are asking people to take their time to listen and help you, so it's maybe not too much to ask to invest a little of your time to help others ? I'm not an advocate of .... I just listened to you so now you have to listen to me or anything like that, but right or wrong, I do tend to avoid those whose name never appears in any thread but their own. It comes across to me as...... I'm not interested in you lot, let's talk about me and the amount of people here now who participate solely in their own threads is a big reason why I don't bother with this forum nearly as much as I used to. I know for fact that I'm not alone in that view. Big deal, you may say, who are you guys anyway ? What makes you think that anyone cares if you're here or not ? I'm sure many don't, but at  same time every person who used to make an active and positive contribution who no longer does is ultimately a detriment to the community as a whole. There are some great people from this forum from whom I have learned a lot and even had the immense privilege to have subsequently worked with and then learnt ten times more, who also no longer bother with it because of the me, me, me culture that seems to have become prevalent here.
 
  I totally understand that you may not consider yourself capable of giving any insightful composition or killer mixing tips etc to people who on the face of it are several leagues ahead of you already as that also applies myself and to most of us.  I'm no kind of expert, but anyone with any degree of ability can say ......I listened, I liked the guitar sound / love that reverb / what did you use for the drums ? / I can't quite hear the singer, maybe turn them up a bit ? It's all subjective anyway, just opinions and you can end up chasing your tail if you try and keep everyone happy, but on the other hand if ten people, whatever their level of ability, all tell you the vocalist is too quiet, there's a fair chance that it's too quiet. This is all valid information that will lead you to re-examine your perceptions and ultimately to better mixes, which is what this is all about, no ? Not only that but there is some major talent in these parts and we should all celebrate that.
 
Do as you like, it isn't up to me or anyone else, but i still think that a little effort on your part will probably reap greater rewards for you and benefit the community as a whole.

I quite enjoyed the tune, however I found the HH/Cymbal thing a might distracting.  It could also so do with some body and weight in the low middle and bottom.
 
Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing.

Brian, I loved the video and strings, but when the drum thing came about, it threw me off, but that's not a bad thing. I'm sure that creativity played a part in your choice of using the drum thing and maybe that has to do with your new style of music- radiohead, which I know nothing about. When you use drums though you should find something that fits the rest of the piece. I like big drums, and if you listen to one of my tunes you will know what I mean. The drums you used with that beautiful string section don't seem to mesh/ blend together well and so that would be my only critique.
 
As for what Paulo is saying, not to defend him, but just read your own first couple of posts in this thread. Can you see where you might just maybe be coming off as self centered and counting the posts you need and where you posted them at (Here in this thread), when you could have got your count easily by listening to other peoples songs and just saying how much you enjoyed their song. There are many new comers to this forum that are only here to post their own music and not to learn from others, that started exactly where you are. Believe me, in the past I have had every kind of critique you can think of and then some. But, I learned, because I listened, asked questions and got a lot of answers and some great tips and help. So, don't get offensive and just go slow. Listen to others music and they in return come listen to your and will be more helpful than you can ever imagine.
 
Welcome to the forum and just enjoy yourself and learn all you can. This is a good place to get educated in the wonderful world of making music.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

John .. Thanks so much .. I take on board what you are recommending .. i will also listen to yous music shortly .. once i wake up properly ..
 
i know what youre saying about paulo .. as i already said previously .. i do agree with his principles ... but ive been a human long anough now, to know when someone is being somewhat condescneding ... perhaps the wrong word .. but the guy came in with a pathetic crappy attitude to get a point across, when you and others are capable of making the eaxact same point in a civil adult manner .. and able to get your point across to me without being offensive and pretending it was native glasgow humour ..
 
i also pointed out to him i did go in and check out other threads .. since he saw my profile shows am from glasgow .. would would have looked at my previous posts while he was at it, and saw that i did exactly thing he accused me of not doing ..
 
and here i am now .... still kinda defending myaself
 
 
thanks again man
B

guys .. just leave it .. i tried to fit on here once before ... many people made me feel welcome .. and many twats pushed me away
 
i see the twast are still here in full force
the last time .. one of you suggested it was the way it is the business .. if you cant take teh criticism .. get out
i realised that wasnt quite what i was seeing .. i was seeing a bunch of lovely people .. being pateient .. and taking their time being polite with new comers ..
and anotehr bunch of peopple .. who were abrasive .. beyond the level of amateurs .. on their high horses yappin about how bad things are now witb all these amateurs and the place isnt tehsame any more ...
 
in essensce .. i saw what i saw in most other places .. this can be applied to any large group or body of people ..
always will be lovely people .. and twats ... in every group .,..
i notice peopel in here being twats .. and moaning its cos of newcomers doing this or that .. then other people come along and be nice to me .. just reinforces .. the people acting like twats, are doing so, cos thats what they are .. and just make excuses to justify their crappiness to other human beings
 
my very first post in here ever was met with this same mixture of twatiness and loveliness..
 
yeah .. thanks to the nice guys for your time .. but last time i was here .. a few of you asked me to stay, that its a nice place .. i said i hope i do .. but the crappy attitudes got the better of me. ...
 
forhget the  tune guys .. yous get on with your forum .. no point in me being here when i dont enjoy it .. and yous clearly dont enjoy havine me here ... cos oh my god .. i posted and asked for an opinion .. without checkin outr everyone else first .. i wated until after .. oh my god
 
and yes .. i did refuse to go into other peoples threads just to get my post count up .. i felt that wouldve beena  bit cheeky of me ... but there ya go .. turns out in  not doing so .. i was faaar cheekier ..
 
pathetci !!
