a nice start ... but I would work use some other instruments if I were you. Sounds a bit too artificial to me. Anyhow, a warm welcome at MacJams, and keep on posting! Walter Check out my latest song called boundaries

Aesthetics I suppose that's a matter of aesthetics...considering that if you really apply your ear to the majority of the songs around here, they all sound "artificial." MIDI is what I have. But I'm not here to make great recordings of crappy songs, but listenable recordings of music that I've composed in order to recieve critique.

Aesthetics I understand the point you make, but I would suggest that most people respond to the presentation (i.e. timbres used) almost as strongly as they do to the actual "substance" of the composition, so it's hard to separate the two. Yes, sampled and synthesized sounds don't ever sound quite like the real thing, but they (esp. samplers) sure have come a long way, to the point where a good sampler in the hands of someone who knows how to use it can fool an awful lot of people into thinking it's the real thing. Which is pretty amazing, when you think about it. Anyway, I hope you don't find any of these comments too discouraging, and I hope you post some more tunes! --- New (19 May): <a style="color:blue;font-size:11px;" href="http://www.macjams.com/song/20990">#3 from "Three Lorca Sketches for Orchestra"</a> Check out my latest song called Scarlet Nightfall

The opening phrase was a bit static but I appreciated very much when you opened up to more rhythimc variation and tone color varieties. The beginning is a bit abrupt. The first instrument is the least appealing of those you use in this. Does MusicTime Deluxe use the QuickTime Synth only, or can you use other voices, like the SmartMusic softsynth. Look into some other voicings, the ones you used do the job for getting the music down, but as a listener, they are somewhat distracting. GarageBand has decent tone quality, but the basic instruments are VERY basic, and I had to get the Orchestral instruments jampack for what I needed. Anyway, a thought for when you have money to burn : ) Check out my latest song called What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Good! Good work! It feels a bit stiff... not sure what software you're using, but ideally, it'd be great to put in the occasional rit., or push the tempo a bit, just to give it a somewhat more human feel. The timbre you use to start is okay, and once again I'm not sure what other options you have there, but a piano sound with a little more sparkle might help things a bit. The string pizz.s are a good idea; they add a lot. Consider changing registers some of the time when you repeat lines (echo), and changing dynamics, timbres, etc. too. All these little details add a great deal to the music. I enjoyed it, and I encourage you to write more and submit it! Check out my latest song called Scarlet Nightfall

Not as good as Ellipses, but very nice. I'll be waiting for the final version
before I give a full comment.
