This is a work I made when I got used to recording at home and was able to create the sounds I wanted with a DAW. I can't write songs with lyrics, so I only write instrumental pieces using piano (completely self-taught), guitar (45 years experience), and bass (best at playing). Looking back on the music I listened to as a high school student over 40 years ago, I actually wrote the songs I wanted to make.
These are the works I made when I first bought Studio One and was learning how to use it through trial and error.I wasn't completely satisfied with some of the songs, but with the help of the DAW's functions and OZONE's mastering functions, I managed to finish them into songs. The worldviews of the songs were all over the place, and I remember having to go through a lot of trial and error with the composition and chord progressions. The last song, "Midnight Rain," is the first piece I composed when I was in my 20s. At the time, it was a song with a female vocal, but I reconstructed it with piano and strings.
