Description : Hey there! Well this is a kind of "Christmas song". I know I have to improve my skills at mixing, but I'm still practicing. The instruments list is in the Lyrics section. Special thanks to XyIlent for his loop "Dark piano" (https://www.looperman.com/loops/detail/86707/xyilent-dark-piano-by-xyilent-free-75bpm-ambient-piano-loop). I made this track on Magix Music Maker 2015 Premium and Adobe Audition 3.0. I hope you like this song. Thanks! SUN & MOON... FIRE & ICE HEART... LIGHT & DARK FUSION...
As I said on description, the main melody is from a loop uploaded here, made by XyIlent. The rest of instruments I used is in the lyrics section. Hope that helps.
This is a great sound. I've been a self-taught composer/producer for like half a year now and seeing what you can do with little to no training is a real inspiration. I even used one of your drum loops for a song of mine. It's not on this site yet (soon), but I left a link in the comments. Keep it up! I'd really like to hear some new original tracks from you!
No snowfall yet this year ;) I did one about falling snow as well, Farm in winter on Midisparks pg. Sure does have that holiday feeling. Use whatever DAW you're comfortable with and don't let anyone make you feel bad about it. Music lessons are free online, so much free info!! Practice, experiment, grow :D You're pretty good to begin with so if you do start some classes you'll find things making sense quite quickly. Not required for making music, but does help make sense of things. I find when I learn something new I have to try it in a composition.
It's like watching the snow drifting slowly to the ground on Christmas eve.
The Snow - Emily Dickinson
It sifts from Leaden Sieves -
It powders all the Wood.
It fills with Alabaster Wool
The Wrinkles of the Road -
It makes an even Face
Of Mountain, and of Plain -
Unbroken Forehead from the East
Unto the East again -
It reaches to the Fence -
It wraps it Rail by Rail
Till it is lost in Fleeces -
It deals Celestial Vail
To Stump, and Stack - and Stem -
A Summer’s empty Room -
Acres of Joints, where Harvests were,
Recordless, but for them -
It Ruffles Wrists of Posts
As Ankles of a Queen -
Then stills it’s Artisans - like Ghosts -
Denying they have been -
Actually, I've never seen a snowfall. Here in Ecuador snow doesn't exist, specially in Guayaquil (where I live). The weather is too hot most of the year, and when is not, it rains. So, snow it's something like mythic.
I tried once to learn music online, but most of information is in English, mine is too basic to understand when someone talks on video. And, I can't understand music in my own language, worst in english, where musical notation is different (I mean, different names). In spanish musical notes are DO - RE - MI - FA - SOL - LA - SI... in english are C - D -E - F - G - A - B. When someone says "the tune is in E" (for example) I have to think and re-think trying to recall the corresponding note. So, it's a little bit harder.
Anyway, thanks for listening and comment!
Peace!

(Ps: It's a nice poem, but I like more Gustavo Adolfo Becquer's poetry ;) )
For someone, musical autodidact, I honestly think you're doing not bad at all .... This is a theme can be a bit repetitive, but the loops are used properly. It is true that MMM 2015 (or other), allows you to start easily, and to express themselves musically .... Aves you tried Samplitude or Music Studio, of Magix? A little more complex, certainly. Good luck for the future, you are on the right path .... I love what you have produced.
First, thanks for listen and comment... it's significative to me. To answer your question, no, I'm afraid that maybe Samplitude or Music Studio can be too difficult for me. Once I installed ProTools in my PC, and when I executed, it was like being in another planet. I could do nothing. So, music classes first, then the DAW.
Again, thanks for listen and comment!
Best wishes.

Well.. this is a fantastic piece of music. You said you used MAGIX to make this? I started out making music on magix and know its not the best software. So the fact you made this on it is incredible.
Im glad the loop gave you inspiration, but i only made a loop you built a whole incredible song around it so thats something to be proud of :)
Yeah, I used Magix 'cause, as I said to asidRn, even FL Studio is too difficult for me. So, I find Magix easier to use. Maybe is because it works mainly with loops, so, it's more plain build the loops there, and then mix them in Audition. When I learn to compose, I will use a better DAW like Cubase, or ProTools or Reason.
Thanks for your loop, without it, this track wouldn't exist. So, thank you very much.
First and foremost this does not belong in the weird category because it is anything but weird. You have an ear for arranging sounds together to make a coherent song and in this one you have just been brilliant at it. I could go into a rational explanation of what I liked and what I might change (don't change anything BTW) but what I loved about this song is that it captured me for 10 minutes of my time with a cool spirit and energy that was a reminder of Christmas but something beautiful on it's own as well. This Holiday my wife is not well and spending it in the Hospital. As I leave the hospital everyday it takes a piece of my soul each visit. This song has helped me this christmas evening to feel better. And in any work that we may produce the ultimate goal is to touch people emotionally. This tune touched me this evening and I thank you for doing that. Have a great Christmas.

First, I hope your wife recovers her health. I know it's hard, but all will be ok. I'm sure of that.
I'm glad that you liked this track. Even with the disaster on EQ and the stuff that I didn't understand to asidRn, I'm happy that this melody have made you feel better.
Well, the first idea was to make a sad song, and I almost call this song "gloomy Christmas" or something dark. I'm glad have changed of mind.
If you want to thank someone, do it to Xyilent. Without his loop, I hadn't known how to start or what to do.
Well, all will be alright. Have faith.
Merry Christmas from Ecuador.

Description : working on a more rock heavy metal crossover. I try to get it working. I got lots of insparation from here on LM, looking for any advice that would help me to get closer. I left the beat in the end open, so you can try it out. guit, synth or vox, etc....
Chords:
I B I D I E I F# I
Description : Every instrument is performed and recorder live. Piano, double bass, drums.
Another try from my horror jazz collective.
Instruments Used:
-"LIRA" upright piano (MADE IN USSR 1973)
-"BLAST CULT" upright bass (MADE IN USA 2016)
-TAMA Imperial Star + Pearl OMAR HAKIM snare + Various Ziljian cymbals.
Description : One of those tracks you put your headphones on and your off too fantasy land for bit.Its all over the music spectrum on this track.*no foul language but does have lyrics that contain adult language
Description : Many of strangeness here ....
A link between two musical worlds quite different but united in this message of harmony.
"Silverpaw" (former Looperman) had in the depths of one of its hard drives, this arrangement that I made the past year: https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/120846
He decided to bring this theme, with a text and this voice ....
Very surreal but I really enjoyed ....
Description : I am quite open to all kind of music out there. This time I had some Church organ pipes lying around. With the help of 2nick8 and IMHO one of his best songs out there I put him into a big room and let the organs speak. Yes, maybe weird, maybe different, maybe 2nick8 will throw some egg against me ... I did it. What do you all think of it? (I changed the Genre to "Weird" in the meantime but "Experimental" would do also.
Description : I started out making this track a Vocal track, then it turned into a Chillout track but, now I'd say DubJazz, PsychoFunk or Weird. You be the Judge.
Description : Hey guys! Well, this is the first time I upload a song with my voice. I have to confess that this is not a style I usually sing. And, as an extra point, this is my first song in english. My native language is spanish, my english is not perfect, so sorry for mistakes (grammar, pronunciation, etc). Well, about lyrics, I explain the story on description of the instrumental version. If you want to read the story or hear the instrumental track, go here [ https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/146653 ]. This song was made on Magix Music Maker 2013 Premium and Adobe Audition 3.0. I hope you like it. Thanks! SUN & MOON... FIRE & ICE HEART... LIGHT & DARK FUSION...
Description : I haven't done anything in awhile. I got tired of screwing with this so just did some gain staging & panning & slapped it on here. It definitely sounds like something I would do.
Description : Again not sure of genre but it is kinda weird. Very much an experiment and Im not sure if it works but someone will let me know no doubt. If you can cope at all probably better with headphones. Pad sound is guitar treated with reverbs, crazy drums constructed from Akai kits and free jazz SFZ kit, sax samples and minimal synth line from arturia minifreak
