I do like these nostalgic trips... I had a conversation the other day and jokingly said "you know - you never find any new 80's music anymore..."

I was wrong

...and this is what we get... lol

Yep - it's got The Exorcist ring to it - defo... and then a bit of a Blade Runner/Vangelis vibe...? Like!

Thanks people! What I was getting at was; when you add a note into the Sequencer Stream, it has to have a strike volume. With a violin, it's possible that a single note may begin quietly and then, as the bow is moved back and forth, more forcefully. The result is more like an undulation. I expected ...

Well........... lotsa things..... lol

Think you may have to turn down those speakers, sonny....

The piano works extremely well! And the dropped notes create a more pensive, laid back sound. It makes the cover yours.
Well done!!!!

Thanks - I learnt a lot, too...!

Ok - so.... I swapped the acoustic guitar for a grand piano. I removed most of the 1/8th intermediate notes for the piano along the way, to smooth it out and give it a more laid back pace. I swapped out the grand piano in the higher octave and left in the 1/8th notes and.... ah, what the heck - I ju...

Thank you - I love constructivism!

So it does... lol

IDK why, but this keeps coming back to haunt me.... so I had to get it out of my system...

Hey folks, I've probably been looking at it all wrong but.... how do you change the resonance of an elongated note in Reason, mid-way through? I would really like to produce orchestral strings which begin a note weakly, then moves stronger, perhaps undulates - and then drops off. But, aside from add...

Sometimes, I can't even put my finger on the genre... lol



Cheers!

As Pete B says - sort of a synthpop opera melody.... I actually like the way it jumps around. Lots of energy!

No problem - I understand your process - good luck!

idk if this will help but; it seems to be a mix of different songs - I hear at least 3 "parts" which are quite distinct. Perhaps if you take each "part" and extend them into their own pieces, then you will have scope for more?

Interesting rhythms and beats tho - thanks for the listen!

Played over and then removed the basic backbeat from "Sign o' the Times" and overlaid a zillion synths and drum patterns. Turned out okay, I guess:
