Basement Tunes

[brad.dude03]

So I just recently got Ableton Live (Lovely software) and have finally learned how to make proper music using only my 'ASDFGHJKL' keys on my keyboard. Pretty nifty, I must say.

So here are two songs, if you will, that I have made. I am an absolute beginner at both making music without a physical instrument and using my desktop keyboard as an instrument, so they're not very good. None the less, I think both of them inspire themes, which is what I like.

The first is simply titled Glissando. It was the first track I made, and I sort of like it. I don't know why the beginning is so much louder than the rest.

The second I like much more. It's called Hope in Dark Places.

Comment if you wish, I think I'm getting better....

Damn I can't hear them on this computer.
When I'm home I'll be checking it out!

You seem to have used arps alot am I correct?

 

[brad.dude03]

What are arps exactly?

 

[Zombie]

The 3rd one fits its name perfectly. It reminded me of the music of Edge of Chaos: Independence war 2 (space simulator) lol. I also think it's the best.

Thanks, I'm getting better, as witnessed by my massive preference for the third over the others. I'll just have to keep improving.

Not bad, maybe more variation in the song next time?
Some of the timing isn't perfect either but good job !
p.s. check this : YouTube - djmaro - Improvisation

Yeah I know I screwed up a bit on the timing, going too fast in some parts and too slow in others. Need a metronome, or I could just record the drum track first lol
