Don’t Listen to Arcanta
I’ve been working on a song…here’s a draft version of a clip:
It repeats once for context. The first part’s where the main action of the song’s going to happen, and then the key change is the bridge to the next part.
I can’t seem to prevent my stuff from sounding Casio-demo-buttony, though. Still not sure how to tell this software to fill the sound out better.

Say. That’s not half bad.

You need a better title, though. I think that “Keep That Diseased Warthog Away From My Tits” would be good.

What kind of software are you using?

I think part of the reason it sounds thin is that there are only three parts - arpeggiating thing, bass, and drums. It doesn’t have to have more, necessarily (it has sort of a cool Wendy Carlos vibe to it now) but if you want it to sound fuller you might add some more background instrumentation. You might want to bring the drums farther forward, and maybe apply some compression to keep it from clipping when you turn it up. The actual drum machine sounds could be pumped up a bit, too — you could look for different sounds, or make them yourself if you have a microphone and some objects to be noisy with.
P.S. I like it.

I’m using [redacted]. It’s not its fault, it’s a pretty full-featured program. I’m just not clear how to get it to sound as good as I’d like, and I don’t really have the composition experience.

I love it, just where is the CD available ?

SpinnMum! You should tell us funny stories of Greg when he was a kid.

Want to get me in trouble, heh?
