Unfortunately, it sounds like the song that you needed less than 30 minutes.

This is a design, make a song out of it.

Farstom, thanks,

unfortunately this is the case where the software is limiting me.

The bass is limited to what's in the existing soundpool or it would be punchier, and for some reason even though I  pushed the volume in the clip to full DB with over +20DB gain,this sound clip does not adjust the volume up.

It's as if the volume controls are brokemn in the object class.

about the only thing I can do to push it up to make it more effective, may be to multi-track it.

I like the way it rolls along though. kind of catchy.

Piazzini -

It is a piece that I already have commercial interest in  using it as backgroup music as is for corporate videos which is one of the markets i am headed into. I only have the basic Magix package, so I do have to contend with the limits therein until I can update and add in the rest of the pools or switch to a different vendor entirely.

Hi hounddoggy:

No doubt a very bouncy and catchy piece (especially with the driving bass front and center).  The one thing a good bass line will do is to get you head nodding. 

You're correct about the audio "limitations" within the software.  However, you can always use third-party software, such as, Goldwave or or something like it, to increase the volume of the file (in a manner that does not distort).  Of course, you would backup the original in case things do not turn out correctly.  All in all, I like the song.

I agree with Piazzini...

...this piece of yours seems to be rather a sound concept than a track.

"Less is more..." doesn't count for the time of creating...

...at least not for me.  

well to do better, it has become quite obvious I will need to pour money into soundpools.

(another magix addict in the making, another fix of soundpools needed, gotta go find my clip junkie

......... LOL..........)

just not enough variety to draw on with the basic package.

Doubling the bass track does give me more strength to the bass line.

Tripling it might bring it to the necessary strength over the other tracks.

however, pushing the volume on a per clip basis past the default 50% just destroys it, Liquid Mud..... 

(GrooveBass 1 and ShortBass 1 soundpool objects created with Vita Midi)

I may try to play around with the Midi editor , hopefully there is a decent  tutorial on it

unfortunately, there does not seem to be a way to save the modified clip back into the library

only to the music project itself.

as to Less is More - refers to this one being less complex and intense than my other pieces,

more along the lines of smooth jazz perhaps

less tracks, keeping the instruments simple -

snare drums, bass as the leader, a litle bit of congo thrown in for soul and to provide the contrast to the bass line

and a touch of sound fx to spice it up and smooth over the rough edges and help with the transitions.........

it does not refer to the creation time, its more of a nod to Magix for designing a software package that has this much power to create quickly "Music that does not [totally] suck" even with the basic package

alot to think about...........

first depends on your computer.
faster , better if you work with Magix.
Magix has more than enough options. Only you must be good at using mouse.and a lot of patience to read everything and experience it.
it's too much info and I can not remember all..

but if I understand problem.
all around volume.
you can left click on the white point on the volume, holding and only to the right and left or up and down movement.

but do not worry about it. I understand that
hurry and many want to do matches with your young age.
but otherwise you're young take time, it'll be fine.
I must hurry. I am old and do not have much time.
experiment all and. continue.
we all had problems to start  .

wow,  what a complement

I am glad you think I am young. wow.

My favorite artists are ELO, Supertramp, Steely Dan, Billy Joel,  and  Earth, Wind and Fire.

I watched Apollo 11 land on a black and white TV.........

does that date me enough?

I know how to use the volume controls on the sound clip objects - I am an IT geek by profession

on the bass clips, pushing it up past half volume corrupts the sound and the linear nature (up/down, or straight ramp up/down on start/end   does not help.)

Splines give infinite volume control and are best on a per track basis.

volume is an issue with the clips and with having volume controls associated with the sound clips in the first place - basically a bad software design decision. IMHO.

computer - Dell Dimension E510 media computer - 3 GHZ processor, 4 GB ram, SATA2 drives, high end creative sound blaster sound board, and a pair of older Bose two way speakers. windows 7 64bit

could use multi-core, next upgrade will be to state of art., but adequate enough, playback sometimes lags if the processor gets busy.

Of course Duke is only Two Years old, so he still has 12 years left to play around......

Dang it,   it means I have to read the damn manual....................... LOL
