Ain't No Stopping Me This is way out of my comfort zone for sure! If the world were flat I'd have one foot hanging over the edge; that is how far from my comfort zone I am. I'm not sure this is even music so please don't judge my musical abilities based on this EDM. At least I think it is EDM; I'm too old to know if it is or isn't! Lyrics: Ain't no stopping my - many time Ain't ain't etc - many times Ain't no stopping - many times BiaB style = Sound of Silver - House Bass = Kontake - mini broken bass Piano = Ultra Analog VA3 - preset - Plastic POP-digital Plastic Guitar = Ultra Analog String Studio VS-5 -preset - Romantic Nylon - Dreamy Pad Drums = different drums from different Steven Slate SSD-5 Strings = Ultra Analog VA3 - preset -Space Sweep Via my keyboard controller: Vocal = Kontakt - preset - Vox - no stopping Effect = VacuumPro - preset - Missle I did have fun with this and I was surprised what I could do with BiaB. I have never done or even heard anything like this in the showcase.

An interesting listen and agree that this is somewhat unique to the forum.
A well constructed piece and certainly imaginative.
Nicely done.

Well, it was an unexpected listen as well. I've heard plenty similar in my indie listening (and have even done a few myself with loops). This sounds great, first off. The mix is stellar, to my ears. I do think your next experiment in the genre should explore breaks...every 16 bars or so?...with a major one midway. I don't know the "rule", but that sounds right to me. As it is, still a very enjoyable experience that had me moving in the chair. No stopping you indeed.

Wow - nicely done, and when you said you stepped out your comfort range you weren't kidding. Definitely unique for you, but it panned out nicely. Certainly a change of pace for the forums and yourself, but it flows nicely and I thought the mix sounded superb.
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Very different! And very cool too.
I wouldn't even know where to start to produce something like this, well done.

This is really good, Mario! It's good to get out our comfort zone from time to time. It opens up new lanes of creativity. I think that is very important!
I move around from daw to daw, and instrument to instrument to keep creative juices flowing. And every now and then, I will jump genres, just to stay alive, creatively.
Great job on this one! All your music has an element of tv or film quality. I can hear this in a movie or tv show.

Peter Thanx Peter. I think that "somewhat unique to the forum" is the understatement of the year!

With that being said I greatly appreciate your constructive criticism. I need all the help I can get on songs like this as it is not my bag or strong suit.

Steve, what TV show would you use this in? Most Wanted or Cops? Thanx for listening and the very nice comments. I stick with one DAW as for me to switch between DAWs does not promote creativity. It promotes high blood pressure!

Hey Mario. Seems like you anf FJ are drinking some happy potion lately. I need some of that! Share!!! Unusual and brave experiment. Very different from what I have heard from you. Kudos to you for trying stuff from different angles! P.S. Funny thing is, I went to gym today and was doing the treadmill thing and your tune helped me to maintain the pace... Maybe you should rent this out to gyms across the nation?  Thank you for sharing! Misha.

OH NO! THE EDM GUYS HAVE INVADED THE FORUM!!!! HAHAHAHA! Very infectious. Like Tangmo, I thought some breaks (or DROPS as us kids like to refer to them ) would be a good addition. Well done. Careful of that edge....Once you fall over, there may be no coming back dj fj

An Olde Timer such as yourself remembered all the lyrics, well done.
The piece was an interesting listen really well done. Not at all what I would have thought. Thanks you.
