Bee Fresh

Title suggested by Derris-Kharlan totally not as a joke.

I always feel like I'm cheating when I repeat sections.  Constructive criticism plz

this one's got a nice bass groove to settle into!  i want to say try go give it more of a hip hop beat instrumentation-wise, but i like the oldschool 2a03 nature of this tune so maybe you don't need to touch it at all.

let's "bee" friends

This is great. Don't have any constructive crit, given I know nothing about how it's made. But it's got solid melody:harmony stuff and whatnot. So, great job!

DAT NES BASS

simply bee-utiful. I know what you mean about repeating but this has a classic nes game soundtrack feel to it and the repetition fits right in imo.

Very nice. Such much improvementing.

cc: Could use some more sounds for the rhythm section. For example there's some very nice gaps in the melody where a snare (or a click or a short arp chirp) would really sit well. Also you can make the track grow over time by gradually filling out these negative spaces.

Other than that I think I hear a couple notes that are off, but if D-K didn't point them out then what the fuck do I know

Thanks you guys!  I love the NES's triangle bass.

vinpous: If you have any experience with trackers feel free to download famitracker and the .ftm to have a look at what I did.

iLKke: Which notes? Also, thanks for the tips, if I have time this week I'll try that.
