[NN - Double Sniff]

I NEVER LISTEN TO APHEX TWIN

So I don't care if you ripped them off.

The bass sounds okay, but it sounds pretty bare when it's alone like this. The pretty random beat is okay, but it sees more like randomness than a beat that fits the song.

These songs all seem pretty good, the only thing about them is that it lacks fill... which you'll learn about if you listen to for example Ambient/Drum N Bass/Trance songs, which seem to contain more fill than other styles.

A little unsure about this song but It's good.

Nynety-Nyne responds:

Well the random drums is what I meant when I said I ripped off Aphex Twin.

Once again just practicing, but I'll learn to give the song a little more depth.

[NN - AFACBs]

well

it sounds pretty much like the typical samples from the fl studio soundbank, that's the only thing I saw that wasn't good here. I liked the other things here though. The bass sounds pretty nice, and it has a nice little melody. Not so sure about the square, it's a little bit too digital for the track and had quite a lame melody.

I'll suggest you to fill your tracks a little more. This sounds more like the base of a song.

Pretty good stuff!

Nynety-Nyne responds:

Yeah, like I said it was only an experiment and I was practicing bass patterns and whatever. Plus I'm still pretty new to fl so, anyway.

Cheers.

[Horror ambiance V2]

good

very scary and eerie. Very short too.

I liked the fx you have in here, but it really isn't a lot. The only things I see is a very deep pad, some fx and horror strings.

It's pretty good, keep it up and probably learn on your way too ;)

thanks SBB!

Il do my best ;-)

Remember that im not so good with fl studio...

[Vengeance Triumphant]

hello

the high pitched thing in the very start and out sounds like a 303 thing on crack... I don't really like it. The other bass you have at the same time sounds pretty cool though, grumbling and deep.

You seem to have a lot of different basses here, I liked the building one with the wind on it. And the more clean synth bass sounds pretty good though.

I liked the lfo'd thing you got in there after a while. Sounds good as a middle thing.

The break is really wonderful... you got something calm into an otherwise incredibly energic song, without a single problem. Great job!

this is good stuff except for the little super high-pitched thing. ^________^_^_^_^_^_^_^^^^

ShinDenjin responds:

sweetness man. thanks SBB^^

[Poke-Mahn]

Yay

I like that song. It doesn't sound like you did much more than the midi file except for the ethnic hits and thrills though. Though not very original, I like your choices of synths, very well done. Nice little track here.

EliteFerrex responds:

Well, the original song was very simple, so I decided to keep this one simple, too! ^^ Brings back memories.

[Dust on the Floor]

well

if it's a preview I want to know the full version for sure. This sounds great, it's a very nice subtle ambient thing, I liked how you took the enegry levels up and down witout making the listener noticing (OH SHIT I JUST DID :()

Great work man, tell me when you've made the full!

Green-Phoenix responds:

Thanks man i havent actually completed this track yet that is why it is a preview... i will pm ya when the full version is uploaded on here.. peace out

[Zephyr (Ambience)]

cool

the strings sounds a bit empty, you know. But that got fixed when you got in some percussion (timing isn't perfect, but whatever) and some swirl and sync synths there. Loved the melodies and harmonies here, make more songs like this! I loved it.

(700th review)

nal1200 responds:

Thankyou for your feedback! Yeah the timing is a little weird with the strings because they're delayed and are a bit hollow. I was questioning whether or not to make them chords, but I think if you added other notes it might change the tone of the song. Who knows. Thanks again!

[=-New Life-= #2]

HAH!

WAY TO STEAL MY SONG TITLES!

Now this is an awesome remix of your Ambient Vibes song! Totally loved the ethnic percussion you got into there in this version. You kept the good synths there and put some great wind and pads there. Awesome work MMM1

mariomusicmaker1 responds:

:D thanks for the great review. i didnt know you had a song named that :P

[[MS] - Schyrztawek]

hello randomness

This is a cool track. Did you only assemble them with loops? Then this is pretty damn good.

I loved the start, with random effects and all, very cleverly done. The next followup with the beat was good, very nice and smooth variations in the beat too. I liked the subtle and kept under bass and melodies.

The use of fx in this song is great, you make them fit just where it should be. Some parts doesn't sound very good with it though, and there are many FX sounds I don't understand what it even is.

And there are parts with only few instruments, which sounds scary and a little nooby, but the parts that lay on it are so well done that it doesn't matter

The build is good, very random, still so structured and nice. I dig it for shur as you may understand now also here's my dick

MackerelSalad responds:

Hm, I think using FX and affecting em so you just can't recognize 'em anymore, is just better than making people know where you got the samples.
I mean, listen to all the Fl Studio noobs, whose submissions just are crowded with always the same shitty claps or cymbals, or Sytrus pre-sets, and so on. Using a crappy sample and editing it so it works fine with the track is much more interesting.
The switch to 3/4 and a sorta caroussel-ish melody was my friend's idea. To make it a bit scary, I used two instances of the same absynth, blurred one of them with vocoder, and put screams through the carrier, to make some interesting sounds. Then I often switched between just one Absynth, and the vocoded one, like heard in the caroussel-bit.

Anyway, thanks for the helpful review!

about this song

...I'll just go with "yay"

Chao-Guy responds:

Simple and sweet. Fine by me!!

Keep it up!
