"You'll be back...alas...good luck!"
Quite peaceful. I was having a total convo on msgr and was so in the zone listening to your track yet it was all happening with out me really realizing I was supposed to be listening to review. Plus the guy I was talking about was telling me about his gf breakup and it kinda fit with the music like sound score of some sort. Real nice ambiance, great lush pads, and the piano was well done. The sax is a nice touch as well. Nothing really negative on this one, nor can I give much for constructive criticism-sorry. Too bad you are leaving the site--they always seem to come back around sooner or later....

I know XD I left and came back once before but this time, eh, I don't think so. I'll still devote hours of my time to the massively addicting flash portal but I don't think I plan to post anything in the future.

The power lead that comes in close to 30 secs is crazy, it sounds like you have the attack slower - never tried that before for this type of song. Kind of a funny ending just droppin the tempo like that with a fade out. Interesting ideas hear -short track tho. Suppose I should go listen to the original now...

I did make the attack slower and the same kind of fade out happens in the original except that strings come in after a while. Anyway thanks. Oh, .02 sec of attack + 30% Glide time = kick ass lead synth. :)

Hey there-second review-and I can see you have dance music skills. This one is a little more trancey than the hardstyle one I just heard. Really like the crazy lead at 1:40 didn't see that comin'. Not sure how professional this one really comes off as-BUT it is definately fun to listen to. Sorta like how you just splatter the snare drums at max on the fill. Transitions between the two distinct song parts are kinda awkward. Once again I think your tracks could be longer--all the elements are there. This one makes for a nice loop, tho.
d/l here!

This track has all the classic elements of hardstyle. Gritty basslines and crunchy breaks. Classic rev up alarm sound. Thank god you finally came with the lead. I was waiting for it. Enjoyed the small breakdown almost solo-like bass part after the lead which could have progressed back into the lead part eventually. This track could be longer and detailed a little more to take it to the next and complete level!!
Keep it wildstyle!

"All too loud-but all happy sounding"
Easy way to start fixing distortion-TURN DOWN your synths. All the synths are blasting thru the mix and drowning out the drums. Use compressors to squelch certain elements as desired. But definately start with just getting a good balance of levels.

Thanks man,
I thought about turning it down.
[But I like loudness, as you can see in my other songs]
As for compressors, I have no clue to what those are.
[But I'll be sure to look into that]

I like the delay on the lead but I think it drags on a little too much and could use a compressor to control the occasional loud spots. I think you are missing the drums. Although some songs are cool as pure instramentals so far the sequencing and lack of melodies could really use some percussion of any type.
Keep learning FL -good luck!

Its too bad your xbox died. Perhaps that is why the lead was looping and loud and maybe purposefully annoying? Not trying to be harsh...work on your melodies and adjust the levels of the mix. I like the breakdown at 2:22, thats a cool sound. Sorry about your XBOX tho; my bro buys and fixes broken xbox's and also does repairs for ppl-feel free to PM me for info.
Keep workin on music and learning.

Cool song...did you record the printer yourself? That is very cool if you did, good initiative. It is interesting that you created separate parts of the song with separate selections of the printer sample. Good edits on the cuts. Compared to some of the other songs out there somewhat prefer your attempt-due to the dry use of the printer sample. The only thing that would take this song to the next level is by adding more sample layers that tweak the printer samples. Get all glitchy and nasty with it.
d/l 5/5 - cuz we all need a helping hand.

Author's Response:
Yo thanks a lot man =D
But no, i didn't record the printer samples myself, i downloaded Rig's pack with printer samples.
So tons of thanks to him =)
Now when i hear it through a few times, then i think i can do some more with it too.
Yeah, i could prpobably make it more glitchy too.
Thanks for the 5, the 10 and the download! =)

"A Good Kinda "Pretty Lame"?! lol"
Hmmm...not overly gay--but loud and annoying. I think I have heard worse shit...hmmm Clay Aiken?!
Good jocular attempt at making fun of bad electronic music tho.
