Have put some guitar on the previous tune now and added some more samples from the volca. This might be the first one that I'm actually content with (although it still needs some more work doing on it.) after around two months of getting back into music again. LMMS was starting to crash under the weight of the samples too, might have to switch to another program soon, (at least for finishing tracks off, still want to use LMMS as I like it a lot now.)
 
If anyone's into synths, etc, though, I couldn't recommend the korg volca enough. It's just amazing.

Nice one, will have a listen to that later Skidfingers.

 

Went back to the very first tune I made a couple of months back with LMMS and sorted it out a bit (have also gone back previously and tried to work on it a bit too.) Am going to probably stop writing so much now and instead go back through almost everything I've made and try to sort it all out as much as possible, because to be honest I don't think hardly any of it is good enough. A lot is rushed, some of it is bordering on half-arsed, and some is just....well I think some of it is a bit shit to be honest.

 

That's just part of getting back into music after so long though I suppose, so with some effort/patience/luck, etc, I'll start making better quality music more often.

Huzzahh!

 

Got to admit that I think it's fucking weird how I said that in my last post, then a short while ago I finally found the type of snare I've been looking for since I started doing this. Just posting an example, this is the tune I posted yesterday first (to be honest I thought it sounded like shit a while after uploading, wasn't happy at all), then an improved version with some altered mixing, and just the kick and snare changed (you can tell by simply listening to the beats coming in with both in the first seconds. Kick is maybe a bit overdone, it was just the first sample I tried from a new set I have.)

Improving some of the older stuff should be quite a bit easier with that and plenty of other samples I have now, it's probably going to take a few weeks though at least!

Sorry, just posting to say that I updated that last tune again, and sorted the beats out properly this time. Something was still off last time (the snare and kick sounded off in a certain place which was repeated quite a bit, and the kick had hardly any variation throughout), that's now fixed. It's also the first thing I've made that I'm actually happy with, instead of just being content-ish. It's been a fucking crazy two months getting to this point though.

 

If I update tunes already posted from now on will post a couple/few at a time or something, so I'm not posting so frequently. If anyone's that bothered they can just go to my soundcloud page to see what I'm doing anyway.

Have got the writing bug again. Instead of posting several over the next few days if I keep going (another is at least half done) will just edit this post and add them (without bumping the thread.)

edit - posting this one early, will probably edit and update over the next 24-48 hours :

Going to try and salvage this thread instead of shitting it up with broken links again soon.

 

Have had a nightmare with this Korg Volca for various reasons, and have been stuck with various versions of that Phase 1 demo for a month and a half now, but still can't get it to work. Am going to save it and maybe salvage it another time.

 

From now on I'm just posting the title then the tune if I can and without rambling, for one reason : if I later decide to delete the tune because I don't like it, like I've done quite a bit here now, I can just upload another tune with the same title (so same link) after I can no longer edit the post, and replace it/update it that way. So the broken links should be about done with from now on.

 

Should have something new over the next few days. I need to fucking improve too. Have been at this for months and am not happy with what I've done so far. Am going to try and change that shortly.
