I've been working on a new tune and have two different versions. One is a straight 4/4 version and the other is a 6/8 (I think). Do you guys have a preference as to which one you like better?
Straight
6/8

Thanks Bill, I never play anything in 6/8 so it took me a little to get there ...

Both sound pretty cool! I personally do like the rhythm on the 6/8, though. Great job!

Aloha @fiddlinsteudel,
Count me in as another vote for the 6/8 version. If you've noticed, I've written a couple of tunes in 6/8 time. It just sounds and feels "right" to me at the moment. You can really work in the dotted 1/8, 16th, 1/8 note pattern easily and it sounds great. I really like your tune. I only wish that I could someday sound as good as you.

I'd love to hear that pattern, got any links?
Also would love to hear your tunes, I'm not here all the time so I miss stuff every now and then.

Aloha @fiddlinsteudel,
I wrote a tune called "Soliloquy in G minor" and posted it in the Share section. That link has both the sheet music and audio file as attachments. I don't play nearly as well as you, so it's quite a bit slower. Still, you can clearly hear that pattern, as well as see it in the sheet music. I hope you like it, although it's not the same style as what you normally post here.

The 4/4 version felt too rushed to me. I don't know, just didn't feel right for the piece. I like the 6/8 version myself.
Really a cool tune though. Any chance we could get the music for it? It's got a real good sound to it...
I don't have any thing written out and the m not get practiced at writing out music so the likely hood of me getting around to writing it out ... Well kinda low :). I could play it at a slower tempo though. What do people use to notate songs?

I use MuseScore (free, and "pretty good", but can be complex in use if you're new like me - to composing sheet) - but you WILL get a truly professional finish !
I've also invested (I think it was $50) in Noteworthy Composer - which I find real quick and easy to use for simple things. There is an evaluation version of that product as well.
I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh -
Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

Big thank you to everyone for your thoughts! So far most people like the 6/8 version ...

Aloha @fiddlinsteudel,
I use the latest beta of MuseScore (2.0b1). There are various ways to input the music, but to get everything just the way you want it may take some time. It's like anything else - the more time you put into it, the better the end result. I really like the playback of this version - the violin sounds like a real violin vice the midi tone of the 1.x version. The interesting thing is that you can set a tempo for your piece, then change the bpm to a different value to hear the change (with the built-in player).
It would be in your best interest to write out your music. You could then sell it. At least you wouldn't have copyright issues. As far as I understand, once you write it down or print it out, you have a de facto copyright. I am not a lawyer, and I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night, so I my information may be incorrect, but that's my understanding. My wife wants me to try to sell my music, but I'm not sure there's anyone out there that would want to buy it hahaha
