Crushing Pressure

By pibolib on February 4, 2024 3:44 pm

Life is tough. I started this track on Friday after already having no time this week to begin with, then I was juggling at least 3 other huge things at the same time while putting this track together. I like to occasionally put together MIDIs when I just want to do raw composition (or have no time). Unfortunately, I wasn't able to put as much melody into this one as I wanted. Still sounds fine though.

Project time: 03:34
BPM: 185

Wow, I have so much admiration for MIDI composers. Epic track for such a time crunch! And you just might have inspired me to label my audio tracks from here on out smile
Hey, since you know MIDI stuff, maybe you might have some advice for OleJazzer on this platform? Sounds like they were having some troubles with note lengths getting truncated when using a MIDI keyboard....?
Anyway, thank you! Hope next week is easier for you smile

Glad you enjoyed it! While I did use the built in MIDI sounds, I'm not familiar with recording MIDI data from keyboards (I manually input everything), so I don't believe I would be of much help.

Fair enough! Yeah, it's probably a keyboard issue. Well, thank you!

It sounds very fine with a lot going on, maybe a little touch up with some fancy sounds could really crush it.
