At least a couple of you might have heard one or more of these, but "Farewell March" has been updated since then. I'm still not much of a piano player, but it's something I'm working on. Actually, while we're at it... I'm saving money for a new keyboard, but how would I make the piano sound I do have now sound better??? It's really kind of painful to my ears... rgds, -------------- Khoa Tran www.suspendedseconds.ca Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: July 04 2003, 21:17 There's a kind of psychadelic-folk feel to Farewell March. I like that a lot - it's one of those tracks where the not-so-sparkly-clean sound quality adds character (much like Tubular Bells). Very nice - I think it's my favourite of the three. I don't really think there's much you can do to your piano sound which you haven't done already - it sounds acceptable like it is, and somehow I suspect that there's not much you can do to make it better (that's if 'better' means more realistic...you could probably mangle it through all sorts of things to make interesting sounds which you may find better...).

And as for the piano... yeah, I'd love for it to sound a bit more realistic. I'm not a pianist by any means, but I guess I was just spoiled by the over-abundance of real pianos while I was at University... Anyone else have anything to say?? :-) rgds, Khoa Tran -------------- Khoa Tran www.suspendedseconds.ca Back to top

But rhythm still seems to be the main problem. -------------- Read everything I write at own risk.
