May Song 1
(1:00) ( 0.6Mb)
Bass Line piano into audio file using Roland U20........midi Hammond Organ ..+ the rest using Cubasis VST
Mixed down using The Master player and edited finally with Soundforge version 4.........Saved as real media format ......slightly
disappointing conversion ......maybe due to mix of audio/midi tracks .

April Song 3
(1:50) ( 0.7Mb)
A song of two halves. A romantic melody
An intro using twangy acoustic guitar with clashing jingly bits. Used a choir too
Leads into nice flute + vocals (not me) piano + Sax enhancement at the end.
(left mouse to play right mouse to "Save target As" for download)
April Song 2
My longest song yet (3:50) ( 2.4Mb)
I like this song the best of all .....I worked solid on the song unbroken for 6 hours on Sat March 16
The song uses about 10 audio channels and 3 midi channels
I arranged interesting wav samples from Rocket on-line session. Superb beat + opening twangy Guitar.
Opening sounds build up gradually to a frenzy of instruments
Lead Guitar ......pretty good ........
Notice the Rhodes Piano outburst
Nice break out in the middle. Watch out for the false alarm drum roll
Eerie twangy Lead Guitar at end +Thumping Bass Line
I hope this song makes you want to tap your feet and shake your hair......(Had problems uploading !!!!!!).
Had to do cut down version .......Limit is 1 Mb

Short Song (1:20 ) (0.96Mb)
Chirpy ..upbeat start (cubase sample beat)
Big solid bass + Hammond
Sustained synths ........2 underlying patterns

Piano ending is a little shaky ...but C maj ends the day
Extra percussion added

(1:39) (1.02Mb)
One looped wav file utilized for percussion (perhaps a little repetitive maybe)
7 midi tracks played with Roland …using Cubasis VST .
Soulful Sax over Synth Strings
interesting .....percussion added .....(washboard + Tings )
nice Hammond at start ……then sax takes over towards the end
Genesis influence ...I think .......except Genesis do not use Sax.....
The song is reflective with some triumphant parts ......
Originally I thought it might make good music to an adventure game, but I am not quite sure after the sax was added ........
I have recorded it at a higher quality to Real Media 80KBits option
The stereo depth is 16KHz as opposed to the 8 kHz for the 40KBits option
(left mouse to play right mouse to "Save target As" for download)
Length in (Min:Sec) (1:16)........... FileSize(0.78Mb)
Rythmania used for the main beat
Piccolo added later
Interesting Bass beat in the middle .(Loved it) (Used Roland Keys)
Wavy Hammond Organ (Genesis inspired) to herald start of ........
skippy Irish jig in the middle (Corrs influence) + Strings added
Percussion added..(Cymbals + crisp ting sound) (Santana influence)
Drat the conversion to rm ..loses this crispyness a lot .........
The key is C .........and is mysteriously Held at C for the whole Song !!!!!
