My New Song (With A New Style)

Well, I wrote a new one.

Listen to Nameless.

I recorded the drums and bass on keyboard, so they sound really bad. (But better than just having a guitar part.) I plan on re-recording it with a full drum kit and a real bass soon. (within the next few days possibly)

Please Tell Me What You Think!

Sounds like it has potential. You need some sort of a click track or machine drums as there really isn't any steady tempo to any of the song. The actual notes don't sound bad. The timing would help it sound a LOT better. I would try working on that a little and then replaying it to see how it sounds.

Ya. I had a whole drum kit that I used from a keyboard, but it sounded horrible. Thanks for the advice!

FLstudio kicks everybody's ass, except Chuck Norris. If you could get that, you could kick everybodys ass, too.

I have the producer edition, but I wouldn't buy that unless you have money coming out your ears or you are super serious about a music career- over $1000!!

You're tensing up too much. It's a problem with me too. But when playing fast, you can't tense up, because then you can't play fast. To play fast you almost have to purposely be sloppy, but still maintain accuracy. "Not care" is what I like to say. To play fast, you have to relax and "not care" about hitting the notes perfectly.

Ya I know what your talking about. Like when you think to much about playing it, and you screw up a lot. This is still a demo version, so for the final version it should be way better.

Thanks! I've been listening to A LOT of blink 182 lately, and trying to play a bit off them. (that whole pop-punk genre thing) Hopefully I'll be able to find people to play with soon.
