Re: Let's hear some improvements. What was your first/last s

I'm assuming here that with last, you mean the last thing I uploaded at all, which is a WiP in my case. Meh, I'll upload just that.

First: Midnight Pursuit (DnB)

My old stuff is really REALLY bad. I didn't even know how to use a DAW. I just used this flash game called Punk-o-matic 2 to make my instrumentals XD





Yeah, I've come quite a ways haha

It may be my lack of EDM...listening....words.
...oh! But your guys' first tracks sound a lot better than what I did.
I tried to do all this by trial and error at first. What a mistake. No concept of mixing or levels.
No understanding of timbre.
I'll grab up my worst one and my WIP in an hour or so.

My first song (made back in 2007):

Another really old song from spring of 2008:

Then came my hands-up stage, the majority of what I did before my new style.
For example this:

or this


And this is what I do now:

I can't really say what my "best" song is because I prefer to let listeners decide that. That and the fact that I've only been at this for about 6 months...

I'm only including stuff I made while in the community.

My worst:


This thing is truly awful in my opinion. I mixed it badly, the vocals needed more work/better takes/pitch correction, and it's just....eh. I've wanted to hide it, but I have people who actually like it (Look at the comments) and it would be unfair to those who do like it.

My best:



And honestly, I wish people would recognise it. Not only did the concept for this get done in an hour, but I finished the rest of this in a livestream over a couple more hours. I remember a lot of folk attending that, and it was a lot of fun. Not only do I consider this some of my best orchestral works, this is what sold me to do the score for a film, and I based a lot of the score on this instrumentation, with the tibetan singing bowls, bells and other percussive, metallic instruments, along with the big, grandios strings and big percussion. I've been told that the panning on this is very extreme, but this was a conscious decision. I wanted to emulate a space that was more confined, as if this were being recorded at the top of a clock tower. If this piece is ever performed, that's where I want it to be held, or at least emulated as such. (Not that that's ever going to happen)

What's interesting to note here is the dramatic difference in views. 13,000 versus a hair over 2000. I'm sure this is just the lack of relation to pony music, but the fact is I have 3000 subscribers now, and only two thirds of them have bothered to look at my entire repertoire.

Ah well. Here's my second best in my opinion, tied very close with Window of Time. I like them equally.
