I do use Hydrogen already to write the parts, with the difference that the drumkit is only used to pass MIDI signals to an external host for DrumGizmo (e.g., Carla or Ardour itself). I don't think it's complicated, and I'm comfortable with the workflow: I wasn't 100% happy with any other Hydrogen drumkit I've tried, so I'm ok with this approach.

Maybe it worth to try Hydrogen? There're some good sounfonts too. But that's just thinking out loud. I understand that you're using what you used to.

Re: Desert Rain
I see. Thanks for information about BandCamp. Hope it'll help me.
Sorry if I distracted you with such a nonsense.

Re: Desert Rain
No problem, you're the boss! I'm not that guy who knows how to use different mics with drums as well so I called it complicated.Rainmak3r wrote: ↑Tue May 03, 2022 12:38 pm I do use Hydrogen already to write the parts, with the difference that the drumkit is only used to pass MIDI signals to an external host for DrumGizmo (e.g., Carla or Ardour itself).

Re: Desert Rain
Yes, Bandcamp has different stats for who just starts the song, who listens to most of it, and who listens almost to the end. Needless to say, when you see most of the listeners fall in the first two categories it's a painful realizationandropogon wrote: ↑Tue May 03, 2022 12:43 pmI see.

Re: Desert Rain
First two: 10% and partial (80%?). The last one (the third) is who listens to the whole thing.

I meant that it's not too bad when you got the second one cause we're living in a world where viewing depth does not exceed 10 seconds usually.

Re: Desert Rain
Ah yes, of course: everyone's busy, so we should all be happy when people decide to spend some of their time listening to what you created. I talked in the Delusion's Master thread, though, about how it was painful to see that happen on the title track, a 18 minutes song I had spent so much time working on, and that most people were skipping. At the end of the day, it is what it is, and I've accepted that.andropogon wrote: ↑Tue May 03, 2022 1:06 pm I meant that it's not too bad when you got the second one cause we're living in a world where viewing depth does not exceed 10 seconds usually.

Re: Desert Rain
First, I see some progress outside in the guitar parts and I think this is very nice. Toward the end, the song gets really immersive. And the guitar parts are spot on!

Re: Desert Rain
Hi @Rainmak3r
Congratulations for this new "baby"!
Since there's much music in there I'm yet unable to give a proper review, but I'm liking very much what I'm hearing so far. True heavy-metal, with little prog moments here and there.
I'd just like a little more punch in the drums' sound, but I've noticed you did very good beats and fills too. You must have put some hard work in that.
These kind of projects inspire me to do my own album. I hope to promote here as well, as soon is finished.

Thanks for the kind words! And yeah, unfortunately drums are my weak spot and always will be.pdechery wrote: ↑Mon May 16, 2022 4:37 pm Hi @Rainmak3r

I'm glad this is encouraging you to work on an album: it's a form that is unfortunately getting lost, since it's "easier" to just work on a single song and release that, and individual songs are also easier and more likely to be listened to since they require less commitment and engagement, but I still believe in albums a lot. In case you end up working on one, looking forward to listen to it!
