please try to limit your release frequency, in all fairness to others who use this site.

I thought that I heard some talking some trash here, but not a soul in sight. But then again it isn't about the comments I get. And I am not here for myself even. No I am here for YOU!

Hey John,

Good to see yer back at it.

Thought I'd drop ya a tip, you don't have to listen, but I'll
try to help.

Direction, John, Direction. This tune (much like your
others) seems to go in too many DIFFERENT directions.
The Bass and Drums seem to fit just fine (in places). But
everything else is in its own world...it just sounds like you
are noodling around on the piano part.

The MOST important thing to have in a song is Direction,
a "plan"...a verse/chorus/verse kinda thing. You need to
"write" the music BEFORE you play it. You seem to know
yer stuff when it comes to music theory, "modes and
scales and such", so don't be surprised if people think you
are joking around with this stuff. It sound like you are not
serious, and some people are going to be offended by
that.

Hope that helps.

I also hope to put all the bitter crap in the past for the
sake of this web site.

Later.

Sure I will put it all behind for the sake of the website. Thanks for you
comments.

Agreed. This lacks direction. What annoys me most with this tune is that there are many parts about it that I like and yet, they just don't quite fit.
Now, not being a musician, I can't quite explain the problem. I like it, don't get me wrong, but something is off.
Not very helpful, I know. However, I thought, if nothing else, that you should know I think this has potential - if you care at all about a doofy opinion.

Hey there many. Of course I value your opinion. And musician yes you are
certainly one of these. I don't think that I really am though. But working on
it. I wish that someone could tell me what is not quite there about this piece
though. I feel what you are saying though......but I just can't seem to figure it
out. In that case best to leave it alone for now and come back another day.
But if you do listen again, or it comes to you in a dream what this piece
needs, please let me know. As always your opinion is more valuable than
mine in this case. Thanks.

why have you panned all beats to the left? is tere any reason? because mixingwise is doesn't make any sense.
it was very hard to even make out a connection between the melodic parts, have you thought about giving them a direction?
or even some sort of similar time base.
this all seemd a little too fractured.

Points considered. I suppose that having heard any tack once and maybe only once is never a fair enough opportunity to consider it out of your listening realms. OF course I tend to have a different taste in music than you two gentlemen do, or at least did in the past. There isn't anything really wrong about that.

The last comment (the part that is under doofmaster, and still in the original post by skab) isn't entirely true though. I didn't write it, so I don't understand why my name is attached there.

In reference to that interesting adendum, section which seems entirely unrelated to the original post by skab, and company.

I do consider myself a music maker, and so that would be a musician. And to answer Astroid in his question, Yes I am very satisfied with the outcome of this piece. I actually have about 12 versions and I can't agree on one, but that would be when to walk away from the track, probably.

There are a lot of cool things going
But if anything comes to me in a dream, the last people I would share it with would be those out on the internet.

Thanks for the comments guys! And if I seemed to not notice what you said, it may be that I am using a greasemonkey script to filter my feedback. Thanks for whatever you all may have said also.

to me the track seemed too much like it was just thrown together, and not enough effort was involved. sadly i agree with the faults pointed out here. i like your fan! =p spend so more time and effort on the music instead of little pictures.

=P i like this site!

Hi Bitbare,

Thank you so much for you comments. Although I am still searching for exactly where your bit of specific advice is going to help me out here, I haven't found yet. But don't worry for I won't give up hope, and who knows it may even come tome in a dream or something. I know that your comments weren't meant be cheap, or easy, and so when I do find that bit of "hidden meaning" that is going to break me into something fabulous, I will be elated, you can rest assured. The question is: do you spend as much time writing comments as you do in your own music production?

Thanks again!!!
