yes positive Barry. After reflection I found that I was thinking of Fantasia.

Yeah, Barry, this is very nice ! As usual a very good arrangement and production.
And one can indeed hear that you had your fun making it.

Yeah, I know. It’s this short because of my earlier hardware limitations: at around this length, the entire computer would grind to a halt, with nasty ear-hurting artifacts. :/ Maybe I’ll do an ‘extended mix’ one of these days.

Thanks! I assume that that’s a positive thing… Maybe the bouncy happiness is helped by the fact that I swung the semiquavers — when I first started, it was all straight, and, to be honest, a bit bland. I think the swing lifts it a bit.

Thanks for your feedback, Harbinger and Clones!

certainly very aggressive for you.

The tuned buried in the distortion and minor mode is still bouncy and happy somehow. That is an accomplishment! It sounds like a tune from a Disney animation movie with ghosts jamming.

(unless my ears are not working right tonight )

Notes as i’m listening:

Noticeably chiptuney, but still ornate enough for consideration as EDM. Way too short. Just like my review…

Thanks for the feedback, Nahkranoth! I guess I have got a bit of a ‘signature’ EDM style. Razz

Yeah, I have to render all of my stuff in realtime, because of a bug which occurs with OpenMPT + Kontakt. :/ Although to be honest, I think that it might be mostly solved now that I’ve upgraded — I’ll have to test, though.

Oh my gawd! Cheese pours from everywhere Sounds like some classic tracker tune remade in a modern way, I like it! …ahh, the fun ends too quickly, it only 2 mins long
Seems that you’ve got your favourite chords, or chord progressions, or whatever, because I’ve got this thought in the middle of your track:
“Jeez, even without knowing the author you can guess it’s Barry” LOL
Well, not absolutely sure, but you know what I mean

Quote: “I just haven’t been able to render it to wave, because my system just wasn’t fast enough.”

You mean “in realtime”? I thought you can render to wave on nearly every average machine, no matter how complex your project is Shocked
