The Soaring

For some reason I once got into my head a vision of large birds (eagles, condors?) soaring high and free above bare rock mountains - this is my poor attempt at capturing that in sound.

it's just an initial version, so there's plenty still to do on it ;)

Yes, this is very cool!

Definitely gives the listener a sense of floating or soaring. I really like it!

I have to say, you have something quite solid for a WIP.

Thanks guys! :)

For this particular song, I still have to try to set a proper mix (note to self: LEARN HOW TO MIX!).

Trouble is, it is very difficult to know when to stop tinkering ;)

Not a poor attempt. It's beautiful, and captures the essence. Continue with it, as you stated it's in development.

Thanks very much - you know us artist-types - never satisfied :mrgreen:

I believe this one to be probably my best so far, in saying that, it's from the POV of having I think gotten better at music rather than actually at this time being great at music - still, progress is always a good thing!

You should hear some of the god-awful crap I did when I first started (with Sonar before S1) - those will remain forever locked away :oops: :lol:

To tell you the truth, Leo, I started with just Acid 6.0 loops. Then, I moved to LMMS and posted songs on Newgrounds' Audio Portal; Ableton Live, a MIDI Keyboard, and a Korg Electribe; Studio One Artist and AudioBox USB; microKorg XL; and finally with Studio One Professional. My LMMS music can be accessed from the NG part of my signature if you want to listen.
