Today it's IDM!

https://soundcloud.com/algorythmradio/sets/idm-development-update

I have to admit, it's not the finest mixing/mastering I've ever done,
but I had to get something out, it's been too long since I released
the last genre examples!

Hope you enjoy, all criticism and comments are very welcome!

Pete

Yeah you're right, I didn't do that this time, I did that on the first
world lounge examples because I was trying to make the drum samples
sound semi real, but really I should do that for the purely electronic
sounding genres too. It's that quick repetitive snare that's the worst
isn't it, I almost considered ditching a couple of the tracks that did
that, but I should do as you say instead, that would probably clear
that issue up!

Cheers for the feedback :D

Thanks Rich, great feedback! You're absolutely right, they don't
actually listen to each other at all at the moment! I have a whole
series of melody/rhythm generators planned, some of which will
reference the other instrument parts, but I haven't implemented these
yet. I also lost a load of my current melody generators when I
introduced note slides. This is making the melodies far simpler than
they were. I should probably delve back into that part of the app
again before I release any more examples. In fairness, I really enjoy
that part of the app. That's the bit of the code that makes me feel
like I'm writing a trillion songs all at once :D

I'm glad you picked that up, because it had slipped to the back of my mind.

What do you mean by arc and breath?

right, i'm with you now! that's something that's gonna take a little
more time to figure out and work into the algorithms, but it is duly
noted. Thanks!
