Check out this synthesizer riff I just wrote/played
« on: October 06, 2005, 07:18:23 PM »
I had a sudden urge to record some of the music I've been playing lately, and I wrote the basic riff on this synthesizer part and took it from their. Took 30 seconds to get the riff down, it's about a minute and a half track.

Check it out and give honest feedback.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

WeLL I know nothing about producing music and what it takes to create that riff you just made.  With that being said, it sounded cool and Im sure you could use it to make something that sounds dope.

Yeah it was pretty simple start, but I thought it sounded kinda cool. Thanks for the feedback.

It's cool, did you play it to a drum track, or just solo?  It sounds a little distorted at times tho.  What did you use to make it? 






since we're posting stuff in here, listen to this:

No drums, completely solo. The distortion is cause I had it a bit too loud. I used my keyboard, it's got 99 different sounds, 36 keys and 25 sharp keys. All by hand, no computers involved besides the recording.

It's all good, it's hard to sound good with just one sound.
