It's very helpful for me:
Yes, everyone is right, the song is pretty simple. (The bass player plays the root notes of the 4 (total) chords all the way through the song :-) Like a 4 chord pop song without a coherent melody.
But I dont't think that is a Nightwish copy
. The idea for instrumentation (strong bass, fast rhythm guitar, female voice, strong, fast drums) came from the given Xandria video clip.

Maybe you are outlining chords too closely. Glaring example - guitars at 0:36. Be more bold - it's ok to have passing tones that aren't in the key/mode. Maybe more contrary motion as well (some tones moving up while others are moving down) - you do this a bit, though.
This is really my second composition, which is "...longer than 8 bar" (a little exaggeration, I'd rather say it is longer than 1 minute). I have many 30-50 second sketches, melodies, intros, but I haven't finished much longer.
However, this is clear from the loop-based structure of my song I think.
I don't know yet how to develop a good melody or a good idea into a whole song. (And I was lazy too, and used copy-paste too much.
)Two years ago at Christmas I bought a magix music maker, and after months of reading and learning the forums, I realized that this was not the real thing and I didn't need it, so I started it again with the tools like many others: I bought an NI Komplete, a Reaper (plus Cubase, but I found that Reaper is way more flexible and customizable).
In the first year, I watched a lot of videos, especially from the threesome of Daniel James, Alex Moukala, Dirk Ehlert.
If you look at my libraries and the plugins I used here, you could also tell which one was recommended and used by them.
Based on these videos, recommendations and demos, I started collecting libraries and plugins from last year to expand the possibilities of Komplete. I don't have too much I think – fortunately, I can say no to impulse buys, but sometimes I still feel like I have too many plugins, especially compared to my knowledge –, but what they are, I think they are the best value for money and are essential for making music (at least for me).
Yes, that's the true. So if I put a song here for download (Google drive), should I still use the stream version in the Ozone?
TrojakEW, SimaGT: "TBT Heavier7Strings"
I saw that many of you used TBT Heavier7Strings. Dirk Ehlert also did a demo broadcast of it. It sounded good and the included midi riffs were very good, but overall I don't know if its worth the price. At the time I was looking for a guitar library I found that Shreddage demos are better (and it was incredibly cheap on sales).
