Deathbloom51's (midi) Music Factory & BTBAM bass cover!!

So, I was contacted by a great guitarist in my city, and he offered me a bass spot in this new Prog Metal group he's forming (The drummer we've got is from a band currently signed to Tribunal Records, he's a beast.), but the greatest part is he's offering to let me try my hand at composing some songs, so I've decided I should post them here for people to hear, as I'd really appreciate the criticism.

For now everything is going to be in .mid/.midi form as we're not recording for awhile, but once we do record I'll be sure to post it here if you guys are interested.

Currently Writing:

Song I - Don't have much to say on this one, but the next thing I see in the song is a piano/synth breakdown where the tempo drops a bit.

Finished Songs:

XXI - This one is a very minimalistic guitar song I wrote for my one man band project I'm doing sometime in the near future.
Md7 - Just a little something I wrote a long time ago in the vein of Mastodon, I guess I could probably include this in my one man band project too.
Unnamed Song - A song I wrote with the guitarist a couple years ago.
Unnamed Song 2 - Another song I wrote with the guitarist a couple years ago, pretty heavy stuff.

Low Priority:

Does My Fist Taste Good? - This one goes along with XXI on my one man band project, but I can't figure out how to change the main riff, so I've put it on the back burner till an idea comes to me.

Bass Covers!

Prequel to the Sequel - bass cover, I took out Dan Briggs bass track and recorded my own rendition of it, if anyone is interested in seeing the tabs, let me know, I tabbed it myself.

So, check it out and let me know what you think, obviously they're going to sound funny, being midis.

Cheers.

Hey dude, Nice work there.

But here is my opinion:
Dropped the bomb is kinda nice, but you should change the pitch, the beat gravity a little bit, to make it sound like a techno trance or something like that.

I like "The Project", it's more a Shredding than a song tho, I just can't stop thinking about you headbanging on that song

Some really quality stuff there. WIth your new track (1) I would suggest bringing in something really bassy half way through to mix things up. And maybe even add a short pause, followed by a symbol crash, and then bring back in the mian beat.

Out of interest how do you do this stuff? Is it a mixing program or do you own decks?
