listened to stronger monsters and made something pretty quickly. its really rough soundwise, but i like the compostition overall.
just started with a really basic melody. the intial idea was just that really basic piano melody at the beginning. like always.
overall im really glad i can make something pretty upbeat without too many major effects. i mean the only effects i used were equalizers,
and thats sort of not really even an effect. listening to that snes stuff really cleared me up. it always felt as if i was missing something. like i needed
some effect to sound good. just polish the basics! most effects are pretty simple reinterpretations of the original sound anyways. just use some supporting notes,
echoed notes, play with the velocity a bit or whatever and it changes the character of the sound an incredible amount. i dont like the really complicated sounds that much anyways,
at least not in the kinds of things that i want to make
i like the stop pauses in the intro segment. feels like cheating given that it gives the song so much more flavor while only having to write like a few notes and just
stop all of the other sounds lol. but whatever, its nice variety and it sounds good i think
piano in the beginning is kinda basic. laying the tubular bells over it helps, but its still a little plain. not sure what other sounds id use there though.
the orch hits sound sort of strange in the second section when they go higher, but thats kinda just how the samples sound since theyre
so much shorter when theyre higher. wait its still missing percussion
stronger_monsters_like_concussed
i went back and added percussion literally just now as in while writing the previous paragraph. think it sounds better this way. the crash is pretty overbearing though
but i cant be bothered to change the volume i already exported it. ill fuck with it if i continue with this song, which i (probably) wont
who says i cant write upbeat stuff?!?!?!?! i literally say that for good reason. this is good progress though. its still kind of easy to write upbeat stuff with these kinds of sounds in my opinion.
its cool but its not super unique maybe? i dunno its not my favorite thing ever. its still just an inferior stronger monsters. i really need to find a way to be more creative with samples on my own.
i think i just need to experiment, but i dont really do that as much as id like
