WHY?!?!??!

Don't stab the synth like that? And those off pitched synths too, how could you? You turned this amazingly pretty song into a nightmare! And using those FL snare drum presets? Comon' you showed me in the chorus that you're so much more capable of producing a pretty song, keep that tone throughout, don't destroy, it's so terrifying. Sorry if I seem to be over dramatizing, but you turned what could have been an extremely beautiful song into something that just hurts to hear in some places. If this is a love song, make it soft, smoothed out, pretty : D

-Yeah, sorry about getting really knit-picky, but think of it this way...

...A wife bakes a cake for her husband (being the nice thing to do as a surprise). She bakes it with her full heart of love, but she can't find the milk, so she uses coffee creamer, and for the sugar that accidentally spilled all over the floor, she uses salt. What is the husband gonna think when he eats the cake?

DaGrahamCraka responds:

lol, those arent fl snare drum presets buddy. nice try though ;)

i like your analogy though.

[Esta Loca]

Nice sound...

I guess that's what you get for being a pro though :P

-It's not the most diverse track out there, it keeps a fairly same theme throughout without anything new, which really puts this song to shame, there's really nothing new introduced in the song. Add at least one other thing in there (maybe a melody that comes in once and then comes out for the rest of the song). I'm guessing that the gritty synth that goes throughout the song is supposed to be the melody, but it sounds too blended into the song to be that way.

-Again, nice sound overall, do you use a specific program that you make drum sounds with and the sort?

-Check my audio :D

[A tear in the universe]

I agree!!!

Stop using presets!!!

-In one argument, presets or not don't determine a good song, but you've seriously got to create your own sound. You can do that!!!

-Just fiddle around with FX and automation, as soon as you understand that, everything becomes so much easier!!! Composition is okay for now, but put some melodic meaning to the song, make a blend of sound!

-Good try though, but you can so much better!

zerofalse responds:

yeah, ive come a long way since my first FL song but i still dont know about sound modification and that sort of stuff. its like im bounded to a limited selection of instruments =/
if you could tell me some more about presets and all that stuff it would be cool
thanx for your review and opinion

[Ratchet (Test Demo)]

YES!!!

Nice demo! You've got a good idea of what to do here. It's quite enjoyable, especially the glitchy-ness of this track. Just remember to keep adding a nice progression of beats and how the song flows. You've got a nice intro, now build upon that and make necessary changes that you want into the beats where it's crazy, then backs down, goes to the main beat, for example. Keep layering in more sounds in too, the ones you've got are great, just keep on going!!!

DarkValentine responds:

Thanks, the track is actually something that a friend of mine wanted me to do, as a request. he liked how the demo came out, and is waiting for the full version. it should be done within the next few days.

or when i have more free time. Thanks for the Review.

[Yogosun: Midnight Run]

I give you ten cause you're cool : D

To be brutally honest though, this song has got more potential to be more focused towards your beginning part. The drums there could be messed with throughout the song while keeping the same mainframe of the beat. I was digging the beginning until you kicked in with the offbeat bass drum. That was a terrible choice (at least in the beginning). You've got a lot of nice instrument FX, I need to learn from you : P

-But try this instead. Keep the same beginning. Take out the gated synth that comes in first before the offbeat bass drum. Now, what you do is put your basic kick drum on every downbeat setup to mix with the glitch beginning. Add more glitches as fills to signify change in the structure in the song and put that offbeat off 'till later or leave it out all together. Then add all the other stuff you've been using throughout your song. Do you have FL? If so, PM me so I can give you my e-mail so you can send me the file, and I'll show you kinda what I'm talking about. NOTICE!!!-You don't have to do this, and even if you do, you don't necessarily have to take my advice. But it might help with future projects.

-Your transfers could be better. Each individual instrument had some great riffing though :D

-Good attempt though, your ideas are great, but can be constructed further to give you even better results!

Jiao-Zhang responds:

Thanks for the discriptive review! And yes , I have Fl, but I use Plugins for synths and 3x Osc. But I'll send it in .ZIP file.

I know what you mean by the bassdrum. I know its offbeat, but it still sounds cool! Thanks for the review!

~Yogosun

[-[ Panic! ]-]

Weird, and out of control!

It's just freakin' crazy! The only things I don't like about this song are the bass drum and the beats. The beats are too Drum and Bass like, change it to a straight downbeat "BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM", and mix with the hi-hat and snare from there. The bass drum could have been more distorted in order to fit that weird and insane tone.

-Nice :D

-ImperfectDisciple-

DSMagnum responds:

I liked how I made the bass beats and what not. If I made them anymore distorted, the song would've clipped more. I personally like everything how I made it. Thanks for reviewing though!

[Through Bleeding Eyes]

Cool track!

Love the electric guitar, but where's your bass drum? That's like, an essential to this song, that driving force that sets a standard for the song, but all you've got are some toms and cymbals, plus snare drum. Get that bass drum mixed in right if it is there!

-Otherwise, good attempt, I wish I could record my drums nicely so I could help people like you out with real samples. It hurts to see that opportunity go bye ; (

Check my audio!!!

-ImperfectDisciple-

OrphanShadow responds:

Yeah, I know what you mean about the bass drums...but im workin on it, so my next attempt should be an improvement

[I'll Follow You {Sample}]

Dude : D

I seriously like the progression and pretty much everything about this song. It's got everything anyone could ask for in a song, plus more. It goes beyond many other songs. Great job mate!

-Hey, I see you're interested in vox. No, I'm not a singer, but I'm pretty good at lyric writing. I'd be happy to give this a try for the lyrics : D

-ImperfectDisciple-

DaGrahamCraka responds:

thanks man! i see you messaged me so ill talk to you there. thanks for the review!

:D

[Óä--Acid Reflex--Óä]

Yo dude!

Nice production, but get off of the Fruity Loop samples unless you're either going to edit them to make your own sound, or use it as a good thing, which you kind of did. You still missed the point though. Making your own samples insures the sound you want, a better sound, and something us listeners know that you've created, something you truly influenced. Nice composition, you've got that much down, that's for sure : D

-ImperfectDisciple-

-I use FL Studio as well, check my audio : D

EternalDissonance responds:

making your own samples is very annoying... grr.... im gettin a keyboard eventually, probably by summertime. Then you get to hear what I can really do.
