First tracks . . .

Hi, this is my first foray into this community and I'm going to take a rather brave step and let you all listen to my best attempt so far

You can tell I'm not up to ameteur level yet but I've been playing around with eJay and now Ableton for a few months on and off.

This track is the one I feel, is the best I've done but I'm probably setting myself up for a roasting. It's mostly eJay samples in Ableton.

I've created a MySpace account - http://www.myspace.com/andrewmoore2
I'm still not sure about the drum/clap track. Might have to change that.

There's another track on there too, Mellow, which I did before Dance with Heart.

Anyway, let me know what you think.

Hitch.

Had some problems with MySpace, so I've added the tracks to my website at http://andyjmoore.co.uk/

like these.

Are they made totally using Live?

Thanks Sega

They both use eJay samples, Mellow was composed in eJay and then converted to Ableton 'cos it sounds a whole lot better in Ableton.
Dance with Heart was composed in Ableton.

Really good, excellent. Add in a kick and some compression and its as good as loads of those "Euphoria" tunes I reckon, honestly.
I would have a bit half way through when you've just got the lead part on its own with a bar or two of silence, then bring the rest back in again and you'e got a hit! It does need some beefier drums and bassline though, but thats easy enough!

Changed Dance With Heart a little bit.
Exchanged the drum track for something a little less clappy and a bit more bassy. Added a background Midi track and brought the volume on the heart beat up a bit.
Added a volume drop out effect near the end.

Mellow is my favourite, nice and simple and chills things down a treat

I've started a new track called March. Not yet finished though.
What do you think so far?
