Hi all, I have updated my sig to include some music snippets so you can hear what I have been up to lately...not much programming going on here for a while ;)

They range from stuff I have done recently on the left to older pieces on synths I don't even own any more!

Hope you like them.

What's the music for? By that I mean what should/will this music be used for? They are pretty good, I just don't understand what they would fit into.


Also I think this 'Graphics Showcase' section should be 'Art Showcase', as this still seems like an appropriate post here.

I'm composing my first album atm and some of the tunes are for this.

Some of the links are like sketches i.e. rough ideas for future work.

Most of the stuff I do is purely for the fun of creating music though.

I hear`d all tracks and i must say for free it is not bad. For commercial use there quality of the samples are a bit low. The track with the guitar, the drums are a bit to quietly. He need more pressure. And you must play more with the dynamic of the samples. What i kind of tools and samples do you have?

Thanks for the comments Blitzblaster.

The samples are all stock sounds on Fantom XR, Fantom V-Synth and Access Virus...it may be the way that they are encoded (128 bit mp3) that lowers the quality?...trying to keep the file size down was a major consideration just for demo purposes.

I'll look into the guitar track drums although it was just a demo of synth guitar to try and compete with some real guitar demos ;)

The 128 bit are not this problem. The problem is the mix and mastering. And what i kind of sequenzer to you have?

I'm using cubase 4 studio.

Just noticed that the eq on each channel was set to roll off at about 15-20KHz, I have now adjusted it to boost bass and top end frequencies.

Having a hearing defect I guess I am not the best person to try and mix =)

I'm going to plug in a spectrometer to see what's going on and compare it to other music sources.

Will update the 4 newest demo's as soon as my isp sitebuilder is back up.

New mixes now uploaded for the first 4 tunes.

Veeeery nice music. My favourite being ICanPlayzGuitar
(A hint of Jean Michael Jarre in that one)
They are all good I must say!
