As Y know, I'm just a newbie here:D. But I really want to be VG Composer and I realize that my skill & ability right now isn't enough. That's why I really need your comments and suggestions.
ThanX...

Hmm.. They seem to all be very bland, and a little boring if that.

Try to give each song its own personality a bit more. They seem to be the same type of song-Simple nice chord progression with a likable-sort-of boring melodic sound to it.

I have somewhat agree with Maestro here - try to emphasize quality over quantity here. I'm not saying that these pieces are dull, but they all sort of have the same feel towards them (some so much that you might have well made them into one piece of music, as I wouldn't have noticed them being different outside the titles). Try to experiment more with other instruments (it sounds like most of these are actually recorded, but there's a lot of things you can do with recorded sounds to make them sound different), perhaps doing some stuff with MIDI too (for accomp and such).

Well, there's literally a whole world of style out there. Start listening to a lot of different styles. Also, reading up on some Music Theory would never hurt. There are some really good sites out there that pretty much cover entire undergraduate courses in theory. It might seem tedious, but if you really want to compose well, you better take a look. Also check out the theory tutorials in this forum.

Yea, for me, I try to listen to every composers song style, or any modern bands and can hear their own way of doing things, but the songs have different feelings to them then just that.
EDIT : My point is to listen to as many composers in any style (mainly yours being RPG) and listen to as many songs for ideas on how to put things together-not copy them, but put things together.

i agree...

where is everything!!!

i mean... theres just a melody... pretty nice melody though...

i liked the solitude one... :D

it was comforting... but where is like the advancement...

the build up... the feeling.

I think you just composed it because it sounds good...

I personally compose music... or try to... hahaha :-P

with my feelings.

hmmm... here this is wut i do.

I get a random beat out of my head, and then think of something majestic, calm, flashy, thunderous, or anything like that and then think of how I could interpret that, while going with the beat and just humm it out. and then compose :D

iono if this made any sense at all... but just work on ur music, get a nice beat :D, get some more variety in instruments, and things like that.

and am i the only one that TRIES to compose without knowing basically next to nothing on music theory??

i have no clue when you guys are talking about arpejjios <-- is that how itz spelled? and stuff like that. hahaha...
