Finding Purpose - Erik McClure

Eh, a bit random, but yeah, finished this song today. Melikes.

[Hellstryker]

Not bad  . how long did it take you/what did you make it with? wavepad?

[blackhole]

The song took around 4 hours total, and i used FL studio 7.

[Hellstryker]

hmm interesting... does it cost money to download? 

[blackhole]

The trial doesn't. The actual studio costs $50 for basic, $100 for intermediate, and $150 for producers, or $360 for the XXL pack.

What exactly is it? Is it a tracker, audio editor? other?

I have Modplug Tracker and Adobe Audition 1.5 and Goldwave 5.18, but I have trouble mixing my own music.

Sorta like a multitrack audio editor with midi sequencer. It's pattern-based, like a tracker, and allows for VST and DXi plugins.

Modplug tracker rocks...I was into Impulse tracker for a long while before moving to FL Studio.

EDIT: Where are my manners? The song was good  Four hours seems pretty quick to finish a song, I usually take at least three days to come up with a first draft.

the amount of time i spend on a song varies widely. It took me almost oh, 20 hours of work to finish my Battle Resonance song, and almost 15 hours to make my A Past Forgotten song.  I just made a crystal resonance song in about 3 and a half hours, but after listening to it i feel i still need to tweak it. I have another song called Serenity i'm currently stuck on, i've spent about 8 hours on it so far (much less considering i needed very little tweaking on part of the voices and it doesn't have very many notes). It took me 2 hours to get that stupid piano voice sounding good though.

To be honest i just don't spend that much time on a song. Usually, a song will sound way, way better if i complete the vast majority of its melody in under 4 hours. This one i was able to polish in just 1 hour.
