Cima

Hi. This one is a bit older tune but I hope you like it. I boosted the bass a bit to make it sound more dancy with an Android app called Lexis Audio Editor. Comments are welcome.

    Very good melody; it stands out well.  I like it.
    To me the song sounds too much like the same thing throughout. Maybe a little more variety of synth sounds would help. You mentioned you had boosted the bass, but I think it needs some more or just put in a more pronounced bass line.

    Just one person's opinion of course.

    Thank you, Björn for your quite accurate comments. I agree the tune needs fixing and I will perhaps fix them when I start the music thing again. Actually I started playing the guitar again so it might be I will fix it next year If I get brave enough and start with Sonar too.

    Hi Kakku. Have you posted this one here before? It seems familiar.
    It has a nice dancy feel to it. I listened on crappy speakers so I'll listen to the bass property later.

    Hi. It can be that I have posted this before. It is an older tune. I tried to find it on the Cakewalk''s site but could not find it.

    Hi Kakku. Have you posted this one here before? It seems familiar.

    I searched for a duplicate entry in case I had posted it before. I did not find an earlier post for the tune. However, it can still be that I have posted it before because I have deleted at least once a tune I posted first and then I replaced it with another tune. Also I have posted it at least on Kvr site. Of course it would be best If I made notes of the tunes I post so there would be no duplicate postings. Then there is the possibility that I have made copy tune, but I don't think so because it is not a very good tune. Anyway, thank you for being observant.

    Yep, heard this before Antti, but no matter, it's a very positive sounding piece. I can pick out the bass, could be a little louder and have a more prominent kick drum with it to propel the tune along. Hi hat is too prominent IMO, and distracting.

    Thank you James for your comments. So you think this was made by someone else originally or that you think I have posted it here before? I wonder if there is any way to find out what tune link I have first posted and then deleted but I guess it would be difficult. And even then it might be another tune. Also if it is not my tune it would be nice to hear the original.

    I think you've posted it before. I remember thinking it sounded like OMD.

    OK. Thank you again and I hope you remember correctly because it would be lousy if I had copied somebody's song.
