Bitter artist is bitter.

Anyway, with the original piece, I see what you were trying to do, but I don't think it worked out too well. Sounds really random in a lot of spots. It's salvageable though. I just think you might want to go through it and change some notes around. I'm terrible at using music lingo, but I'm gonna try. I know some of the "awkward" notes work. By awkward, I mean the flats and sharps. By flats and sharps, I mean the notes that aren't in whatever diatonic scale you're using (or scales with an s). Hopefully you're still with my musically illiterate self. Okay, I felt like I could hear what you were trying to do with the music, but some of your notes were fighting the change and flow of the song. Some of the notes were sticking with the diatonic scale while the music moved to either different scales or to chords with flats and sharps outside of the regular 7 note diatonic scale. I know there's a musical term for using notes and/or rhythms that shouldn't work in the progression but do, and maybe that's what you were going for, but if that's the case, then it sounds forced and it just doesn't work.

Hopefully, that was more helpful than confusing as ****.

Oh, and nice Brittany cover. I guess won't ask.

[A Forgotten Legend]

Yeah, the whole song was just Fmaj over Db major.  I don't know how much you know about scales, but in f minor is the relative minor of Db major (or it has the same number of flats).  F major is the parallel major of F major, so I did a little experiment with mixing the two scales related to f minor.  In the song, there are points that are in f minor.  Anyway, I'll have to upload the piano version too.  But I understand what you meant with how it sounds.  Its not the best thing I've written. haha.  The Britney cover... I did it because some friends suggested it. Haha

Oh, the title was just a joked based off of what happened in the other topics I've done like this. Haha

Also, the song that started the thread is updated with new sounds too.

Joke over now.  Ugh. =P

Anyway, anyone else?

[drenrin2120]

I was just razzing you man. I get its frustrating not getting feedback.

But, after reading your post, I kind of understand what you were going for. Atleast, the song makes more sense. Still, it may be technically good, but it's a little rough on the ears. Which, I understand, you understand.

[A Forgotten Legend]

Thanks. Haha.  I know.  I'll try and mess with it to fix it up a little.

[drenrin2120]

Well, hey, if that's how its suppose to sound then keep it that way.
