Another track I just began this weekend. In this one, I experiment with many more different types of beats and experimenting with some reverbs. So, this is a slightly new direction for me. It starts off somewhat like a progressive song, like Atlas. I don't know what which direction I want to really take this song (melody or otherwise), but it's start, right? It'll probably be high energy (as you can tell.) ;) Only one minute worth of song so far. I'm still working on Atlas, of course.

What do you think so far?

Here's an update. We're now up to the first 3 minutes. I've begun to compress the song (and believe me, it needs a lot of work!) I've also got ideas for a melody and a breakdown, which I began to work on. Anyways, my hope is that once I'm done some of the compressing and equalizing, I can construct the rest of the song.

Tell me if you like where this is going, if you could! Comments are always appreciated!

Tempo - 128 BPM

I've done a fair bit of work now. I've basically got my main idea for a breakdown in my head. It's pretty rough right now, so this one is very conceptual. Also, does anyone have suggestions for how I can fix the compression in this one? I don't want either the bass or the percussion to dominate, so I'm trying different things to get them to sound more equal. I can hear the song trying to break out, but it's tricky getting it just right.

So far, this song is taking me in a direction in which I start it off progressive and transition into uplifting. The opening two and a half minutes remind me of Kubik by Perry O'Neil (a sort of accident more than intentional.)
