I like the second half of the song a lot more than the first half. Honestly, the down arpeggio works as just the intro for the first 10 secs, but it just doesn't sound good from that point. as a melody, it's just uncreative it doesn't create much for the listener to enjoy. I like the chords plenty, and maybe you should have expanded on that idea more from the beginning. Another problem if you're looking for more listeners..the song is only 1:16. That's not long enough to actually track anyone wanting to listen to something.

Lydian, that's the joke. lol

Thanks! Really cool sounds in Exploration too, especially the intro pad

Thanks

I've been checking this person's stuff alot recently and honestly, best in the game, wish they got more recognition! http://bit.ly/18gLpHB

yeah maybe you're right, I phrased the title pretty wrong. If I may clarify, what are some rules you set for yourself? And I'm not suggesting people limit themselves. If there is something you're just unwilling to touch, whether it be personal moral issues, or like it's something you don't feel comfortable doing for any reason. If there are standards you set yourself for, what are those standards.

I would say it really depends on who you are, how you learn, and what you know. I start with producing, but then I went on to learn Piano blues improvisationist style (went on to understand how to play however I feel), and violin. Honestly, I would say, for me, Music production takes a lot more thinking on the process and creating, as the the instruments just kind of came naturally to me. But they both are hard work in learning, but from there, it all comes down to the person. :/

I was just wondering what you guys consider is crossing the line in music? I understand it's different for a lot of people and what is considered wrong in music. But where do you personally stand, doesn't have to be what you think are rules people should follow, but more like a standard you set for yourself?

I wouldn't say there's much anything anymore in music that counts as cheating except just straight up stealing someone else's songs.but as for this, I think it's just more lazy. I feel if you're actually trying to be really into this, you should put in the time to learn music theory, or at least the basics. Maybe using this isn't that bad (I've never used it, I don't know how it flows), but you can probably understand it and do even better if you know music theory. Relying on not having the knowledge to do something can really hold you back when it comes to other times. That's at least my opinion. :/
