lol
yea.. the drums are i think funky latin drums with some dance kit that I threw in there to ad more kicks and highhats

so that may be why the drums have good timing... lol!

But dude, I was looking at what you can do with logic! I wanna see if my parents would get me that for chrismas..

Sequencer would make drum tracks SOOOOOOO much easyer

did you make several the instruments?
really.. if you did I'm stunned. Cool sounds you've made in this one. This is in fact a good piece of music with cool drums assigned to the things you play on the keys.

Keep going man, you're on to something good:)

nice set up
after your forum post, i thought there would be a pile of steaming doo here. NOT SO - it's a perfectly good song. i'd thicken up the descending pattern at end in keeping with rest of song - LOTS of good ideas incorporated here. enjoyed the work - anne

Perfectly nice song
Hey, this is nothing to be ashamed of. You don't make a lot of beginners mistakes: there are variations in dynamics and instrumentation, and there is something resembling a melodic hook. I was amused by the little crackles towards the end. Don't you hate the way records always wear out most closest to the little hole?

Some comments: your synths are fairly static, so the only excitement comes from the drum. I would try to get a more dynamic bass part going. You basically (ha!) don't have a bass part: just the lowest notes of the chords.

Your melody relies a bit much on the 3 3 2 rhythm. Take this piece and stick a bunch of quarter note melodies in. Take just an arbitrary measure, and turn it into a little scale fragment.

I like it that before the breakdown you change the drum rhythm to a tom-rhythm as an indication that something is about to happen. But then the drum more or less just stops. Can you imagine a drummer giving a big lead-in to, eh, nothing? Give a big splash on some cymbals and kaboom on the bass drum!

In the end that wurly is finally becoming audible. In the rest of the piece it doesn't do much. I'd say leave it out, or give it more identity.

Hope this helps. Basically this is a fine little composition.

thanks for the advice
Han thanks,
yea.. i found this vinyl plugin for that noise...
I guess shifing from a major key to a minor key of a different not is a bad idea to just throgh on the end there
