I have to say I'm quite irritated by Ohrenartzt's comments though with a name like that one should expect a poster who's overly critical and stuck up . That's exactly why so many people never try anything because someone puts them down for no reason .

I like the demo.

Thanks to those with the kind comments and advice Well Today i made an actual song, heck it might not be the best, but it was fun to write and I think some might appreciate it. http://www.schnickelfritzmusic.com/fantomsong2.mp3

Enjoy!

Thanks for enjoying us, Phil!
A really good idea with some nice variations on drums. This song reminds me a little bit of Saga in some parts of the guitar (or string? it really sounds sometimes like the attack of a string in higher frequencies) but nevertheless a good picking.
The drums sound a bit too much bass balanced to my ears. Open the middle and trebble filters (or the equivalent equalizing parameters you have) a little bit more and the drums will sound more transparent. But I know that this is only a detail for the last mix. It's good and important that you've fixed your idea.

In live acts maybe the guitar should better be played by a real guitarist - and in this special case it should be a very good 'axeman'...hey, you're really sophisticated in music...

I really share your enthusiasm with your NEW synth. I remember when I bought my K2k - nobody could get me away from this piece of sound garden for a long, long time...after this time of exploring the 'heaven on earth' I started with congrete working with much more experience of this art so called sound engineering...

Make so on, Phil! You're on your way!!!

Hi Phil, finally had a chance to listen to your Fantom guitar work.Good work. Impressively realistic sounding & hypnotically tranquil with the string pad added.



I'm looking forward now to hearing the music you'd 'normally' make (play). Looking forward to hearing more music created by you on your new Roland Fantom.

Hi Phil,

I'm assuming that was an arpeggiated electric guitar? It was interesting to hear because I'm so used to hearing synth sounds with a looping arpeggiator!

A nice melody over the top with piano or vox would make it even better, in my opinion.

Keep em coming!

Thanks for the compliments

Carrie, yep, that was an arpeggiated electric strat guitar. There is a slight vox underneath the sound, but its pretty faint. A strings pad was also added in the background.

Thanks,

Phil

Ever heard about .. education???

You have your opinions and the right to express them. So you can say something like "Phil, I don't like your music" or, better, "Phil I don't like your music because ... "
But you cannot say/write as you done. Is this the way you talk to your family or friends?

Shame on you, Ohrenarzt!
