Flavouredspine responds:

Awesome! thanks a lot. I'll try and make a full mix out of it soon. Cheers

[Where are the lines?]

Blues, eh :p

This is the first "blues" submission that I have actually listend to here on NG. I hope that you were the one playing hte guitar. Cuz that would make this a fairly cool tune. Unfortunately it sorta just ends with out really havign an ending.

It was a pleasent listen while it lasted!

Flavouredspine responds:

Not Hip Hop

I hope your really new to the game. I hope that your young as well. I hope all this so that eventually you will learn and grow from this point in your life. Hopefully one day you can make beats liek the ones you emmulate on the radio. As for now you got to learn the basics, because what you claim as "original work, now" is hardly music. I only wish the best for you and hope one day you can make some real freash beats.

1st song ever?

Sorry but this is really repetitive. Keep playing with you new program and learn how to create awesome music by takign notes from others who have started in a similar path as yours. Listen to what the pros are doing, d/l music that fits your style and emmulate it!

8ball8 responds:

Thanks for your review. I'll try that. That is a really repetitive song.

[Ring Out by 8ball]

Not DnB

This is definately NOT DnB. But I like the song-the guitar part was real cool, nice mellow melody that sounded oddly familiar.

Stick to your individualistic style! JUST KILL THAT DAMN COWBELL!

[Chance Mix]

eek-so close but no cigar(burger)

The clap attack jsut killed this submission for you! Sorry. But with out that the song would have been a decent submission for let say maybe Video Game as it lacks in melody and overall drive. The synths sound very simplistic.

But like I said-I would have really enjoyed this song with out those claps.

Keep it wildstyle

8ball8 responds:

Thanks for reviewing. I really don't know what to do with the synths, because I'm very knew at FL Studio and I try to keep it basic. I'll look in to that. Thanks again.

JAGs Review (?!)

Well I already critiqued you alot up to the point of submitting it-there isn't much else my ears and knowledge can say.

I do love the initial start, it is a classic sounding beat from teh start. The whole peice gets a lil repetitive jsut before the piano-but I can't preach too much(listen to my crap).

As I said the first time you dropped me a sample that first synth that comes in is amazing...it's like it appears outta thin air as if it was enchanted by magic.

Then as your getting close to the breakdown which comes too quick, as in it was rushed, there is a second melody with a different synth than the first one you introduced at the begining-just before that synth comes in you need to pause almost the whole mix to add that power feel as it kicks back in (like Zenon was talking about). I dont think it would make a choppy transistion on bit. Yeah, do a phase out or something, jsut distrot and move the whole mix and then POP kick it all back in with that new sytnh-and DONT RUSH THE BREAKDOWN!

I can't wait to hear the final product!

Keep it wildstyle!
JAG

MattBlair responds:

Wow, sweet review... Sweet sweet sweet. Like I told ZENON, I plan on using both of your ideas within the completion of the track.

Keepin it Wildstyle yo!

Fly shit!

This is a nice ass beat. The kick has a nice pop to it. And I like the lil guitar thing in the begining. There are some really good build ups in it too.

Keep it wildstyle

[nothing to show for anything]

Weird Shit

You throw the weirdest shit into your music. I dunno what to say for this peice. It does remind me of an artist by the name of Amon Tobin. Google him and listen.

I like the lil synth half way thru hear with the hi freq. Its a lil repetitive tho. Ah, change up, but it sounds weird. And then all the sound gets muddy and not mixed right. Too much gunk there. Surprising to hear the guitar again and have it fit.

Bizarre shit. But not bad-I cant wait til you get some more practice doign the computer music making thing.

JAG

Check out my jams!

[circles]

Techno?

A guy was telling me today what he defined techno as, and he said its like electronica in the broad sense but it involves much more distortion and shit sort like this song you made. I dunno if this is really techno, but it is really interesting listening to all the lil thigs you put into it. SOme things get really annoying tho and cauze my ears to bleed. Decent beats and transitions thru out. The song never stayed the same it kept on moving towards something. The intro was way hot.

Cool stuff-Imma check out your other jams!
Keep it wildstyle!

therecluse responds:

which parts were too much do you think (in minutes/seconds)? I don't know if what i make is techno or not, it just seemed the appropriate place, out of the options. thanks
