Before I start off , DOWNLOAD LINKS ARE BELOW.. If you get bored reading all this, straight away download the music files from the links. But I guess it would be worth reading for you to know about it.
Music Music Music ! I keep listening to Music all the time. Many of you already know that how passionate Iam towards singing. People next to me always know that I wont shut my mouth at all anytime without singing some song.
This made me develop interest in making new tunes. As I dont have any knowledge about theoritical music, Raagas and TaaLas(but i can easily find out if the music is running within a raaga/shruthi or is it going out of it 😀 ) and I dont know to play any musical instrument, I tend to develop tunes only vocally. As I have no way to make a note of the tunes i compose, I easily forget those wonderful tunes I compose everyday. This made me record to my voice sometimes if I compose tunes when Iam in front of my laptop. This is very unusual as I have lots of other work to do when Iam in front of my laptop.
Hence, all I did was I got a copy of the software called as FRUITY LOOPS (ver 8.0). I knew I could compose some good music in this, but had no idea of how to do it. I found some tutorials on the internet, But I dont usually have the patience to “learn” it methodically, chapter-wise! Iam always very eager to jump to the last chapter. Hence I like exploring and learning the features of the software myself.
This made me experiment with Fruityloops when I was at Munich, Germany (as I had lot of time lol )! I composed simple loops initially, played around with combination of instruments, composed random music with continious loops, then gradually moved on an learnt the way to program loops into a playlist, composing using the piano-roll of the instruments for each loop etc.
But the problem was that, I still dint know music theory. Every tune that comes to my mind, I should HARDLY MAP each NOTE in my mind to what suits / goes with it on the keyboard. (Easier way is to write “swaras” or “notes” for the tune and play it on the piano-roll directly and program –>which i have no idea how to do bcoz of “ZERO” music theory knowledge)
Gradually I realised the importance of Layering of musical loops. Will all this “RAW” knowledge about the software and with my inbuilt musical sense, I have produced some MUSICAL FILES, which i have put up below (links to download).
I know i have got some “sexy” tunes when I sing vocally..
-But not all can be programmed easily
-But it takes a long long long time for me to map it off to software and ofcourse I dont get the accuracy of what I thought also on the software because I dont have that competency of programming it.

and then, I NEED YOUR HONEST COMMENTS BELOW! Please 🙂
really beautiful tunes to start off…you know you have magic in your hands 🙂
Thanks akash ! Magic is in my mind i feel ! Need sometime to get it on to my hands kano ! thank you again
I liked the last tune man.. there is some genuine musical quality there.. Only thing I would say is to add a bit more variety into the tune.. The feel is good.. the orchestration is good… has all the elements .. but gets a bit monotonous .. or maybe its because you still haven’t bridged the gap between thought and creation.. Keep at it you’ll get there !
Hey music really rocks, i am not trying to b nice to u, honestly, for a person who has not learnt music to do this its really awesome… all are good, but i liked melody beats more.. Good luck 🙂
Awesome Tunes Abhi Well Done Keep it up may be u r an Future RD…… 🙂
Well said Aditya..
Sunny.. thanks a lot!
super comment kaNo siddu
hey…!!!
snabhi am I permitted to use the tune as my ringtone..??
and `peeps’ this explains the opinion about tune. lets make one wonder what tune is it and ask for it to be sent through BlueTooth.
YEs maga. I say THUMBS UP for your idea.. i hope you encourage others to read this blog man
thanks
Third one was really good, but the other 2 were 🙂
For a starter with Fruity Loops, its really nice, you can only get better with time. I suggest you to learn keyboard, just to get a hold of NOTES. It becomes really easy to map them on to fruity loops/adobe audition once you know the notes. And normally we tend to get carried away with so many instruments available in FL, so decide upon those few instruments you gonna use and control their volume to make sure no 2 instruments dominate at the same time.
With the passion you have for music, i am very sure you can make it big someday 🙂
Great piece of advice.. i too keep thinking about both the suggestions you have put up… my thinking has strengthened bcoz of your comment today! 🙂
Good Work Kano…
First Melody is Quite Good… It gives the impression of Emotions you had while composing…
Second Melody is Fast, Rocking, pakka action moviesge we can use that as Background score, (Ending could have been much better, repeats the tunes till the end)…
Third Melody is Awesome… Lots of Varieties, Changes in Tunes, impressive, Do keep more time duration 😉
BTW, Great WORK… You keep practicing and If you put up more dedication and being Committed, you have a great Chance…;-)
Thanks vijay for detailed analysis in ur vision of 3 tunes
awesome dude….!!
super composition…. tht’s all i can say :)….. simply superb…!!!
superb,awesome,ultimate,great i donn have words to discribe ur talent,infact i have heard this many a times on our MM,anyways all the best keep going
Thanks a lot adon and pavan !

sakath abhi
thanks prabhath
Abhi… To start with, in no ways its a mean achievement… I need give you the honest opinion, which helps you to focus more & work towards it..
The third one seems to be really good and the first two not very impressive, the reason is that, I feel that it needs some additional BGM.
ALL THE BEST DEAR….
Well composed! Way to go!!
When did this journey begin?
Hey,,great start dude…You have done well with the limited resources u had. My 2 cents on the music:
1. The first song is good on melody…but i guess you can replace the electric guitar with an indian percussion.
2. The second second is also nice. The layering has come well. But again I am sure you would have enjoyed indian mridamgam there..
3. The third will be a joy for any hard rock fan..felt like i was listening to metallica..this song will also suit “Kopa”
4. The 4th song is nice dude…good mix of harmony and drums..
These comments are from a music novice..so take them with a pinch of salt.. But again..a very good start.
@ Nachi. you said it dude.. i agree with your comments.. but you wont get the instruments mentioned on the software 🙂 thats the problem
@ giri, i have mentioned that, i started it when i was at munich.. and after tha may be 3 months ago
