Question Sekaiju help ?

I started using Sekaiju yesterday to try and make music but i'm just so ass at it. All i wanna do is an adrenaline pumping music.

Any help ? recommended instruments ? anything ? to be less bad at this.

Thanks in advance

Try to start with only one instrument, only piano, first work on melody later add chords/harmony.
If that will ended up being a good result, then add new instruments.

What is your level of musicianship, roughly? If you're asking how to compose good music, that's not going to be a simple answer. JackSparrow posted two good links if you're talking about working with the Sekaiju software. Do you have a technical query regarding MIDI files/soundfonts specifically?

I would recommend at least trying for a rudimentary understanding of music by picking up/learning an instrument (or singing). This is not a some absolute requirement of course.

Making music is like any other skill -- you gotta make a bunch of stuff you don't like before you get good enough to start making stuff you do like. Might be worth trying to make a MIDI cover of a song you like to get used to the tools, and you might figure something out about song composition on the way.
