Audio Waiting for starbound.

This is the song I made while waiting for the Jan26 patch.... My audio interface is dying so it a bit clicky and poppy....
This song is made from digital oscillators (like the tone generation on a NES or early PC, simple effects and stereo manipulation makes the 8-bit tone more modern sounding.

I love your music sooo much. Teach me your ways!!!!!!!!!!

 

What do you have software wise, and what do you want to know specifically?

In fruity loops:
This is the only thing I use other than the mixer and basic effects

My ways :
1) Let the song make itself, don't force it to sound a certain way. if it is sounding really good but not how you intended, you have succeed. When that happens that is called 'producing something original to the best of your ability'. If your song has turned out exactly how you intended when going in, you have copied someones song, gaurnteed.

2)Make your own instruments/samples/sounds whenever possible.

3)Don't compare your music to other peoples music or you will just be disappointment as other people will ALWAYS be better at making music than you (By 'you', I mean 'me'. And, by 'me', I mean 'you').

4) If you cant stand to listen to it but you worked really hard on it, bench it and come back to it in a week. If it doesn't sound good or inspire you to continue working on it then it is a piece of crap. Don't delete it though.

5) It's all in the mix. (which is my weakness, and why my songs are still lacking)

6) If you are trying to fit 2 pieces together and you cant get them to jive, the drum track is the most likely problem. Make sure the drums are building up to the change.

 

New music up!
