My new microphone came in, yesterday. I wanted to test it out.

It's a bit of a 70s styled, romantic theme.

I feel like this would be on the soundtrack for Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

I can guess why too. Lol
The 8-bit sounding note sweeps ?
They were manually input , so strictly not arps , but yeah , i can see where you get the sonic thing from.
Thanks for listening.
Not what I was going for , but sure...... :lol:

I'm not really feeling this. The arpeggios are the only good thing about this imo. It takes almost 2 minutes for a melody to drop and even that is a bit all over the place. I guess it all sounds way to programmed, especially the melody which should be all about soul and emotion, not a chord arpeggiated at random. Also the sound of it is a bit like patches, stuff I could produce by selecting some patches on a superwave vst.

What I'd suggest is creating synths you've never heard before, or get instruments from samples that are personal to you. You probably have some midi controllers lying around, I suggest you shred them and rock your own face off. Its the only way.

I get what you're saying cupz , and thanks for listening.
I never give away the melody straightaway. Maybe its bad for sending a demo to someone cos they want action within 30 seconds , but i like things to develop. I was actually gonna stretch this out more cos the geat is quite complex
Sometimes i go for a programmed feel , and sometimes i go for a more organic feel. Kraftwerk were amazing but that wasnt about soul and emotion.
There was nothing arpeggiated in this track. I input every note , so there was nothing random , except the glitch at the end and a few fill-ins , but even they were within parameters i'd set.
I dont mind that you're not feeling it Cupz cos i know its all subjective at the end of the day but i appreciate you taking the time to listen regardless.

Sounds to me like its a good mic. Picks up the fret squeaks nicely. Nice clean recording that sounds nicely balanced.
The sooner I learn to play my guitar the better , but I cant even pick it up.

I liked it but it was much too short. Could've easily listened to some more. Nice work !

Have to say this is some of the more original stuff I've heard around this thread... it's interesting- keep it up! I like the sorta home-recording feel to it. It makes me think of the tascam I use to record with.

Also, welcome to Twoism!


Edit: I'm going to put a new thing out in a week or two... here's some stuff from it I'm working on

Well, I'm working on that a bit. I don't want hardly any fret noise since I have to build on top of other tracks... But yeah, it's a really nice mic! It's an MXL V67G with a FET/transformer design. It really warms up things, especially after running through a tube preamp.
