Wow Brickman, I didn't know you were The Airship Era on Soundcloud. I really love your stuff man, keep it up.
Snow Fort is really catchy.
Thank you! I'm pretty pleased with snow fort myself, it's starting to get easier for me to wrap my head around music creation and all that so hopefully I'll be able to create even better stuff in the future.
Try not to be static on one chord. It's a good idea to invert it as you go.
Yeah, the whole song is basically built on D major. I learn something new every time I play around with a song, I'll keep that in mind.
I really really want to make music
Do you play any instruments? I started making some songs a couple years ago but they were really hard to make using the method that I used, which involved recording like 1 - 4 bar samples using a small recording device until I got something that I liked, then I would have to take the SD card out of that and put the file onto audacity and align it with the rest of the song. The songs that I got out of that ended up not sounding so great.
I would suggest buying Ableton Live, it's really intuitive and after a few weeks of using it you'll find it's easy to construct song ideas and such. Also, if you buy a Launchpad S controller you'll get a free copy of Ableton Live Lite (what I have right now), which is a pretty full featured version of ableton with limits on how many tracks you can have going at a time.
