Awesome.
I'm from Montreal myself, and I could clearly imagine listening to this song while looking outside at the crazy snowfalls we get up here. Very nice, the picking was great and I like how you very softly implemented the piano. Fantastic piece of music.
thanks man, ya it was suppose to be called Winter, but someone already had that name, so i chose Montreal because i live here, and because Montreal fuckin owns
=)
Really nice
Sounds as something that could turn into a hit. Get some vocals in there, and this could turn into a hit. I especially liked the intro.
I'm wondering though, did you create this on the computer or did you recorded all instruments (either one at a time or all at the same tiem with a band)?
Couple of points of criticism though, as a drummer myself I always pay a lot of attention to it, so here's some criticism on it:
1. Make the snare drum sharper, it sounds as if they're almost turned off from the snare drum, it would sound way better (in my opinion) with the snares put on right on and straight. I'm talking about the "bonk" sound it keeps making almost the entire song (if that's a different instrument doing it, make it less dominant)
2. More diversity in the beats you put on the drums. They stay the same for pretty much the entire song, except for some symbals thrown in and a double stroke on the snare drum every once in a while. When you get to the bridge, make it rougher, and change it, perhaps open the hi-hat up but less base drum and more snare drum at a point like that.
All and all, a great song though, really great.
wow thank you so much man. and yes I, as a drummer myself as well(my first instrument), completely understand what your talking about...its just a real bitch programming very realistic drums, you need the good samples and fills and breaks and all that lol. whatever. thanks again dude

A Pulchritudinous Gem
"Winter in Montreal" is a rare gem within the Newgrounds Audio Portal. Here is a song: it's professionally executed, melodic, and divine. These kinds of songs are extremely hard to find on this portal and here it is. "Winter in Montreal" really lives up to the title in terms of the music; the piano speaks softly and the drums gently help pushes while the guitar adds to the mood. It's a fantastic mixture of the three instruments (and I am sure there is more, but to the amateur ears such as mine, that is what I can hear primarily). I am glad to have run into your music and hope to hear more from you.
thanks a lot dude, im really glad you liked it
This song is great.
It is just such a great song. :)
