    Hey everyone, I would love for you all to listen to my songs! They're all completely instrumental (no lyrics). Go to the website called "Soundcloud" and type "MiddlePath CR" in the search box in the upper right hand corner. They aren't exactly to everyone's musical taste, but I wouldn't mind feedback.
    I hope the mods let this through..

    Thanks Queen Bee for encouraging me to do this.

    Hi, MP

    No problem :)

    I’ve actually been listening all along. Really good! The third one sounds a little familiar to me, but I don’t know from where. They’re all really good!

    miritchka- Thanks! And yes, I just put up a third one, it should be there...maybe you have to click on my profile to see it.

    Queen Bee- Thanks, and thanks for the idea to do this. :)

    happiest- Hope you enjoy them, and no, I don't know her from before the CR.

    workinonit- I used a digital drumpad for the beats. Sounds similar to real drums, but not exactly the same.

    you asked for critic, here it is:
    too much base guitar in 2,
    and 3 really reminds me of s/t else
    no time to listen to 1
    i must say it's beautiful for a beginner and there's way to go!
    ( my grandpa is a music coordinator and has an orchestra, i plan on heading in that direction)

    What's the quickest way to learn how to compose. I am musical and can make up a song but don't know much about music per se. What would I need to learn?
    TIA.

    Queen Bee- Great! I could really use a pianist in my band! :)

    WIY- Well, it's important to know what style you are influenced by. Once you know that, you can take specific chord progressions used in that type of music and create your own combinations from them, and have a root note that they all flow in to. That's probably the best way to quickly make up a song. That's really what I do.
    There's also learning complex music theory to understand what goes with what, but that's complicated. Also, if you have an ear for music, it makes things easier.

    mustangrider- Thanks! Song 2 is my "heaviest" song. And I will definitely keep them coming!

    I would have to learn to play guitar to know what a chord progression is and I would probably have to know how to play some instrument to properly comprehend theory correct?

    WIY- Not necessarily. A chord progression is basically a certain amount of chords (chords are just a combination of notes) that are played in a specific order. Chords are named after their "root" note, or the note that is most dominant in that chord, such as A, C, G, and so on. Some styles of music have certain chord progressions that are very common in that style.

    To understand music theory, it helps greatly if you play an instrument, but not a requirement. I actually don't fully know music theory. I compose most of my songs by ear, and by combining chord progressions commonly found in the type of music I am influenced by.

    Thanks, Goq.

    and always on schedule

    I listened to song 3 & part of song 2 a couple of hrs. ago & enjoyed them.
    a drum pad, really?! my 1st husband was a drummer & I thought those were drums! :)

    Good to hear, always! Yes, the drum pad is pretty realistic, but if you listen real closely you can tell they're fake. Like the crash cymbal dies out very quickly, the snare has no variation.. But I'm glad you enjoyed them!

    coffee, I'd love to!

    Queen Bee, thanks! That song is really just a combination of a bunch of different compositions I made...But I'll admit, it's pretty. ;)

    Rebel, I will! Should it be an instrumental? With lyrics? With my own lyrics? I'm thinkin a little GnR.

    i love coffe, thanks!

    Rebel, I can sing and carry a tune, but I don't think I have a great sounding voice. And Mama Kin is a good choice. I'm thinking Wayward Son, Don't Cry, or Nothing Else Matters..what do you think?

    Thanks, sweettooth! If you can come up with lyrics and sing also, that would be awesome! Do you have your compositions on a CD or computer? I'd love to hear them.

    I understand, cleverjewishpun. If you want, I think you can leave a comment on the actual Soundcloud page..Or post here, and maybe leave out specific references to bands or songs. Hope you enjoy!

    Perhaps, or it could be that the people who complained before have not looked at this thread yet..Or better yet, maybe they accepted that there are different, equally valid views on the subject. Either way, I'm looking forward to your comments!
