New recording, with drum samples

Post by BenPezzner »

I just bought a collection of about 500 drum loops and samples and here's what I did with it in the first hour of having them.

Enjoy!

I really liked that, but towards the end the most obviously. It's just too repetitive, but that's understandable, this obviously isn't anything finished.

When you record a final copy of this, a) definitely post it and b) i'd suggest coming in with the cello within the first two bars. it'd sound great.

You have a great mind for music. You can hear things and pull things out of a song like not many people I know. Thumbs up, man. :)

Hey thanks. Yeah, definitely not anything finished... I put it together with vocals in mind, so that's why the verses seem a bit repetitive. Maybe one day I'll wake up and be able to write lyrics. I doubt it, but when that day comes at least I'll have music to put the words to!

well I've been trying really hard to write lyrics for it, then I can record more strings and maybe guitar on it.

problem is ben pezzner = not a writer. I'm scared that there is no way I'm going to get around that either.

summary: don't wait on the edge of your seat for the finished version of this.

Hey Ben, do you care if I attempt to add some lyrics?
I'm not sure if you want another sad-bastard song, but I like it.

Indeed... I went through a ridiculously bad breakup eight months ago and I'm still not over the girl. You'd think that would be enough. Oh well.
