[{ANT} {ND} - Battery Powe]

I like it

This had a fair bit of energy I like it. Good job on the vocoder. I give it a 5/5. Mind leaving a comment to one of my songs I am going for a bit to better myself and consider what I do now pathetic I want something to work with.

Anth0n responds:

I'll comment. Sometime. Thanks for the review!

[Phantasy Star 2 Battle]

Good job

I am just an amataur at making music but I found this fairly well done with some of the old songs flare you did a good job adding your own style. I just didn't care for the drum bit at 27 sec(and the others). It was good don't get me wrong it, it worked well for the song to just not me though.

If you could it would be awsome getting some advice from you.

Realmguys responds:

Thank you for the fair review! I like getting constructive bits like that. I really appreciate it. Yeah, I would agree my drums are always cheesey. It's something I really need to work on.

[|Into the Night|]

For somone starting you are good

This was alright. What I would suggest is if you use a eurogate try playing it a lower volume since it will blend with the flowness of the song. You might want to start using a compressor and avoiding to much res on instruments to help avoid cliping. For dance music it seemed a little empty the beat was good, gate, arp was alright the melody too but I didn't hear a bassline maybe try a dx7 or making one in osc and lay it between the kick to fill it in that should make it sound more full. Hope what I said was somewhat useful.

Very. You made me realize some new problems with my song. Thanks for the review, bro!

[Choice......]

Great sound

I like how well you made this song it has a good motion, patterns and diversity. The beat worked well adding to the character. Hope to hear more of your stuff. If you woldn't mind I would love some of your input on one of my songs Divine Radiation. I left my vote for this songs 5/5.

[Monsterzzz]

Nice try

I saw what direction you were going with it but the sounds just didn't work to well for it. I can tell your new to Fl hearing this no offence. My advice for a DNB is more bass I didn't hear much. The point of DNB is to focus on bass and fast drumming. Try going at a tempo of 180-200 most DNB I have heard plays at that speed. Try some instruments like 3xOsc/DX7(try to make it square/analog dreamz/arp king. Dnc kick/vintage hihat/VT SD_3 and some stuff from FPC. I left my vote for this 4/5. If you don't mind plz review one of my songs Divine Radiation.

[Dark DnB Loop]

Good try

Heres my review. I take it you haven't had fl too long. When making music try to avoid using presets and loops the become Cliché and unintresting. Most people around here hate them and often vote zero if they hear them so there is a word of advice. I see you were going for a deep bass effect but it didn't work too well with the detune and sounds like a change in tempo. Try makeing the bassline in tune and adding a reveerb to it, then use a paramatic Eq to make a better sound. From what people have told me about DnB has about a 170 to 240 tempo try and keep it around there. Try and avoid doppy sounding basslines go for a saw like, square or funky they seem to work for me. There's myy input if you have msn I could give you more advice if you want mine is [e-mail]

[The PTKFGS Dance]

alright but can use some work

I give this top marks for originality. I kinda saw where you were going with this but I felt it fell apart. If you want some constructive critism here it is. The voices were nice but stood out a bit to much. The arp was good, it would be nice to hear more of them and to have a bit more diversity with them. The drumming was fairly good but since I don't use that music maker I am not sure if you used loops if so try and aviod them, it's always better making your own stuff. A bassline would of made a better flowness. I loved the ooo chorus try working with them more. The builds were nice but didn't offer much after that it was a little disapointing it just led to the same stuff. Thats my opinion hope it helps out.

[ACID ON PLATFORM GAMES]

Alright but still needs a bit of work.

This is my outtake on the song. The one arp in the beginning worked well for a build but after a short while it became repatative. Personally I would of switched off to something else. The wavy pad in the back was nice but try some effects on it to have a easier flow. The drums were alright good job with the snare.

FoxTechno responds:

thanks for review, to be frank, this is such an old song, i dont think i can change it anymore, it went when my memory crashed, its only on my cds and cassetes now.
thanks, AGAIN.

[Zion-The Light at the End]

Great work

For your first song here you certainly have a great start here. Your drums kept a good motion with the rest of the song and all of your instruments were great nothing stood out more than it should. The automation was awsome better than what I do by far. I left my vote 5/5. Even though your the new guy here mind giving me some pointers your song puts most of mine to shame lol.

The-XI responds:

Sure man, I'll drop you a review! And I seriously doubt that I put you to shame... i'm pretty sure your a good artist :)

Thanks!
