Thanks

Honestly I didnt care for any of them I listened to...vs factory ones. Plus there are so many availble for free who would want to buy unless there is a special need for a certain style you cannot create yourself.

Well we all have different needs and we all do different things,
some of us can create some of us cant or have no time...they buy.

when I need a special style I either create one or convert one there are so many really good ones available in cyberland.

Good Luck in your venture

Since you are asking for honest appraisal...

They were okay I guess. A bit bland in my view, and none were really that much different to what is already available.

A few were nothing like the genre named: Alt Rock; Metal Ballad; New Orleans.

With all due respect Nedim, you should really go back and listen hard to songs in those genres.

For me it seems like a set of "warmed over" existing styles (in fact some of the beds sound remarkably similar to PA factory styles), and done with no imagination or regard for musicality.

I certainly would not pay for them. In fact I would be hard pressed to take them even if offered free.

Sorry Nedim, but I am just being honest.

And I stress to others, this is ONLY my view.

Nedim,

You asked for an honest appraisal and while applaud your effort, the few styles I listened to were marginal at best. For example, the Modern Islands style seemed to be very heavy in the bass, the drums were a bit soft and some of the other voices were a bit soft as well. It just didn't have the pizaz I was hoping to hear. This could, however, be partly because of the method you used to record the style samples and convert them to MP3s. It's somewhat difficult to tell.

Hopefully, you'll be able to iron out the problems and get this venture well on it's way to being successful.

Good Luck,

Gary

I agree with what the others have said. I would also suggest you drop your price as well. Maybe it's just me, but considering the number of free 3rd party styles out there.., and the quality of these... I think your price is too high.

You will also be dealing with buyers passing them around to their friends.

The styles are okay...sometimes plain and simple are what is wanted/needed.

Thanks guys. Travlin, thanks. Of course there is factors
as recording, the way of playing and conversion to mp3's.
In the meantime the styles are still being mixed and finished.
Ian, we already all know that and i am dealing with it for years,
i just have to accept it the way it is.
Yes Denis,
I asked for honesty and i appreciate it. As for the other comments, lemme give
you an example:
I have 13 different versions of the Jambalaya song, they are like from here to
Mars from each other now, tell me, with what right you will tell me:
THIS IS THE RIGHT VERSION OF JAMBALAYA AND THIS IS A WRONG VERSION...
thats just an example. ALT is not even a Genre of music, its a name of a Style.
I have a habit of naming stlyes based on other things not Genre, i dont like the
way certain people do it..ROCK 1, ROCK 2, ROCK 3, ROCK 4 and e tc.
And i can give you examples:
Metal Ballad, based on Metallica's Unforgiven, thats why called so.
NewOrleans, based on version of the Jambalaya i like, thats why called so.
Selena i Memory, based and exactly as Selena's If i Could Fall In Love With You,
also thats why called so.
Hotel Rock, only based on Hotel California but not too simillar, thats why called so.
Adriatic 6/8, based on a Croatian song i always liked, thats why called so.
Almost every style is based on something, there is no HOTEL Gere of music.
As i aid, i asked for honest opinions and i appreciate it, i am not rebuttling you,
i am just explaining since i saw you dont know why those names were there.

nedim,

i have listen some of the demos, and i liked the styles. of course it's not so easy to produce styles exactly like factory-styles, but i guess this is not the point anyway.

having a large variety of genres and trying to cover all bases is maybe too much. i believe the result, and therefor the reactions to them would be better if your styles would rather cover only specific areas, more "exotic" styles, ethnic or something like that.

making "pop" or "rock" or "ballad" might be redundant, as there are so many already available on the internet, and with little bit of tweaking and combination between styles, you get unlimited possibilities. but if you try to cover only some particular uncovered musical areas will bring you more benefit.

goodluck!
