I'm trying to create my own composition this month, but being pretty much limited to midi instruments and also being an absolute beginner at programming midi instruments, and know very little theory other than what's relevant to guitar or bass, this make take a long long time, and still sound absolutely crap. Also, most the midi instruments just sound like a piano that sounds a bit like a bass, or a guitar. They don't actually ever sound like a bass or a guitar.

lurksalot Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Congrats SKol , Urb and collective superb effort once again , and top stuff from everyone else aswell , I got 5 votes which is as many as I have in the previous months added up , so I am well chuffed. thanks to those who took the time to vote and special thanks to those that sent them my way The new photo throws up loads of ideas , I am thinking maybe a Sinatra style slow swing number , based on a US east coast location with a name that could be repeated each time it was said ,...... It's up to you Plymouth, Plymouth ,.............. That could work Time for some head scratching methinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
