DoDoDo Listen Please!

Well fellas. Here it is, after one year in production! Well, actually, it was the very first thing I did on my very first midi controller. I wrote it as a fun thing to show my son the sounds that could be produced.After months of trying to improve my programming I felt ready to go back to it, and try to make it something useable.It's my first solely midi track, and is certainly better than my original effort. Maybe it's got a place.It's a straight mix down, with no mastering.I enjoyed doing it anyway. A bit zany? quirky? see what you think.I warn you ... it's long! A whole 52 seconds!!Couldn't think of a better name than the original working title: "DoDoDo" http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... tream=true

Hey Dave, what a perfect song title, it's really speaks it.It sounds very usable to my ears, even in it's unmastered state.I like the short ones, you might want to try and get another 8 seconds out of it, so it wouldn't fall short of those listings asking for 60 sec. nice work!

Cool track Dave. I'm with Marc . . . put a little drum intro or something in there to get you to :60, it'll make it more usable.

Hey Dave -Yep you nailed the title, that's for sure. Got a bit of the Pink Panther vibe going. The only thing that bothered me was one of the synths that sounds a bit cheesy. Its the one that comes in at about :24.Nice job!Cam

Thought it might make it more usable.Thanks for listening.Dave.
