Here's a half-baked song. It's meant to be some sort of comical chase song. Anyways, I can't finish it, probably because the scale is distracting me. Does anybody have an idea. Feel free to rate it if you'd like to, but it's still unfinished.

OK, I don't know too much about music, but it sounds like it needs a little more things in it at the same time. Maybe you should try having the scales at the same time? And for a chase, it doesn't sound quite right... Maybe a little faster? I don't know. You probably shouldn't listen to me. :heh:

Ok well, the more I listen to it the more it seems to get worse. The way you start just sounds horrible. Basicly it burned out my ears. It gets better near the end. I think you should continue the scale near the end going up and getting higher, but the begining really needs something. If this was a random song that I found on the web, I wouldn't listen the whole thing through.

3/10

Get back to me when your finished.

Thanks for the criticism on the introduction. I probably would not've even considered changing it if you hadn't brought it up. :heh: And about it burning out your ears, perhaps you had the volume too high? I should't blame your machine at all. Maybe a six-note chord was too much. Sorry for hurting your ears.

The beginning does not work for me, especially not the bass chord you put in there for some reason. I think you should trash that, and start the song as it does in 00:05. The glockenspiel(?) doesn't fit either. The bass line works, but is way to repetivite. The flute part is better, I think you should concentrate on having the flute as your main instrument for the theme. Also, I disagree that it sounds like a comical chase song. Try adding in drums, that should do it. But yeah, keep the bass & flute and add some stuff in. I don't want to give it a rating, (it's so short and unfinished) but I would consider it 2/10-ish.

EDIT: for now, that is. Don't take the current rate too serious. :ph34r:
