This song was one that

I really liked almost entirely, except for the kicks/snares. The hihat rhythm in the drum track was awesome, because of the delay added, but the kicks and snares didn't work with the heavy effects, so I scrapped those and added a different drum track. Overall, I like this better, though I think the beat needs a little more variation, and the kicks need to be a little less trebley/punchy, so I'll probably wind up sharing a third version as I work on it some more.

Listen to Nebulous Keys II here.

Tracks 2, 4 and 5

all provide are basic progression, with 2 using a piano from Spitfire Audio's LABS, 4 an electric piano from Native Instruments, and 5 the retro-synth that comes in a little later. Track 3 is our bass line, which sticks mostly to root notes, kinda just thumping along under the chords. Track 6 provides the little ascending arpeggios that happen towards the middle, and the end of the track, while Track 7 only adds a single snare. This was a little test, though I don't think I like it too much, so that'll probably go. Finally, we have our new drum kit in Track 8, which generally works, aside from the kicks as I mentioned before.

I hope you enjoy the changes! I'll do an update after I work on this a bit more!

Very sweet sound on that kick. The song as a whole sounds great, but the tightness on that kick really stands out.

Thanks! Yea i like that kit. I think the kicks a bit loud, but I do like the general timbre.

Hey you, did you know about dSound?

Anyways, I am so glad that you explain your progression and describe the different tracks you use, because I am starting to dabble in creating a podcast for my poetry and making my own background music is what I've been trying to do and it can be a little confusing at times!

wOOt gotta love drum beats!

Yea I do, unfortunately i've never been able to successfully upload anything to dsound, and have problems loading other people's tracks, so I've just stuck with soundcloud cause it's a lot simpler, particularly with embedded a player in a post.
