So I do have some work...

[coruscate]

...coming up for sale soon as I can get it done and get these other tracks approved. It's DAW work at the moment, but I'll be doing as much as I can if not an entire video game soundtrack for an I-phone shooter game. One of my tracks has already been given a go and it's sly. I've got two more with a mostly green light, and then some following right after a lot using samples from Beats45, as well as TONS of other sources. My beat work was rusty so I paused and did an hour long non business piece (not posting on-line, sorry guys) which is why I reviewed so many pieces but haven't shown any music yet. After working that I'm a lot more confident of what I'm doign and I'm definitely laying the beats out how they sound in my head. So it should be good.

The end product will be announced somewhere onhealthyinsanity.com, my personal website, hasn't been updated for a while though.

Also, if you're buying loops elsewhere watch out for this guy. He's charging for samples he took from James Brown, Latoya Jackson, Bobby Brown, Shakira, The Meters, The Monkeys, etc. He even labeled them with the artists name. Obviously doesn't know the deal.

Alright, work is coming along but gears shifted on me. So I'll only be making 2 songs for one game, and then some other music for a project I probably shouldn't talk about.

IN THE MEANTIME... so I'm not all talk, I'll be sharing a song sometime next week I'm submitting to a musician site that put up a small set of free loops to encourage people to participate and what not. No Beats45 loops in this piece, it's almost done at 3:30, I just have to spend the next week editing it to make sure I'm comfortable with it. I did use that AT&T speaking site I linked to in another thread to come up with all the vocals in this piece. So far sounds great... only problem is I keep getting weird audio artifacts showing up that don't seem to have any source. Still trying to fix that, it's really irritating the hell out of me.

I'll be sharing that one here regardless.

After that there's one of those remix contests I'm participating in where you're supposed to use loops from X commercial site and then whatever else you like. It's trance loops, and I'm not much of a trancer... so I think I'll be slipping some fast Beats45 loops in there and do my own thing. We shall be seeing.

This one I may only share here if I do wind up using Beats45 stuff. I don't want to jam up the guy's board with links to other companies for no reason.

Alllllright. Here's a preview, I figured out the artifacts are pretty much EQ problems for the most part, though I think there was a contribution with echoes on low quality files combined with too many silences in some files. I think. I'm still rusty but doing well I think.

Anyway, like the file name says, temporary. By all means leave feedback. And yeah, I'll be happy to translate the foreign language bits for anyone after a listen, or at least, next week or something.

And here's the finished piece!

I fixed the EQ problems and it sounds nice.
