hmm

are you new to fl, or are you just seeing how 5 minutes using fl does on NG? i'd guess that you have the demo and just found out what the "piano roll" function does.

I would like to hear the finished product though. Check out my first song, maybe that'll give you some pointers on using fl as a beginner...the song is called Frantic and is the most absolute worst song
a) that i've ever made
and
b) worst that i've heard but won't admit it since i made it. lol

to be honest about this "song", i could make this in a minute. flat. like, i would just put in a random synth and put in a chord progression, one to my liking. but i'm not trying to be harsh about it, i'm just saying that if you put more time into a song, people will appreciate it more. but, there is a barrier there, but that's not important now. just keep practicing.

i didnt use fl studio.....notessimo

Nice...but

Well, this may sound harsh, but if you separated the vocals from the rest of the song, you have an amazing trance song. Try it.

Why? Your vocals aren't in the right key...like that other vocal tune I heard. She's in in the key you made, and the easiest way to fix this is to take out the vocals all the way. Put in a simple melody and name it w/e you want. I would be willing to buy that. I mean, you have great backgrounds and stuff, percussion too. but the vocals just turned me off.

I mean this in a constructive-criticism-ist kinda way, nothing against you or anything. Send me a PM when you try it and let me know what you think. I also would be willing to remix this too if you are up to it.

hmmm

what program did you use? This sounds like you just used a dj program with the original track and used beat matching technology with pre-made percussion...If you did this in FL, or reason 4.0...it would sound a whole lot better...

sounds to me like you put in kicks, hi hats, and cymbals and sped up the lyrics.

Completely remake em using one of those programs, and put more time into it, I'd 5 and 10 it for ya.

beatmania responds:

Thanks man, all of my music is made out of boredom in FL Studio.

This particular track was made in about 10-15 minutes. :D

And yeah, it's jsut a short anime theme sped up.

lol

added "some" more stuff, like a whole new melody, changed bassline and changed harmony along with some more stuff.

But, you did the percussion, intro, and the first breakdown, along with the sounds for the original melodies and such.

that was for just who were wondering, that's all.

keep it in the freezer, yo.
Im gonna fav this. lol.

...

how does this song make it to top 5???? wow. i made this like 3 months ago.

listen to my latest. do you feel good taht you beat me??? I submitted my track this morning at 3am, and it got 26 reviews. 26 REVIEWS. avg. score of 9.6.

how about you remove that distortion? sounds n00b...I'm surprised the top 5, especially when I've heard about 20 better songs than this.

get some better percussion samples. Also, your ending cut off too quickly. let it fade. it sounded too awkward. wnat more things to fix??? I can make a whole list. If I were you, i'd get on it before you get more ppl zero bombing you...

also, check out my latest and see the comparison of this song and mine, and be honest whether you think deserved the top 5 more, but we can't choose, can we?

I'm not blaming it on you, just leaving an honest review.

Ablationer responds:

The point wasn't to be on top 5, if you're mad at that, that's your problem not mine, sorry if your tune wasn't on it, deal with it.

For the distortion it is meant to, ever listen to Mr.Ozio? You know albums like Analog Worms Attack? or at the very least Daft Punk in the early years? Yeah that's what I mean, lots of people didn't like tunes like Rollin' & Scratchin' or Indo Silver Club because they sounded too awkward or even displeasant to some people, but that's the point.

Sure I could have used a ton of random trance loops put together and call that making a tune, but that's not the point, there're already tons of tunes like that on newgrounds, I'm just making something different, that's my style, that's me.

Deal with it.

W00T!

I WANNA SEE THIS ON TOP 5!!!!

it SO reminds me of ATB!

I can listen to this all day. Make a 20 minute track. I'll download it.

Karco responds:

Ha, glad you like it that much! :D And I seriously doubt it'll get finished, but if it does, you'll be one of the first to know. ;) Thanks for the review!

hmm...techno or trance???

I'ts pretty good, whichever it is. I think it's more tech-trance, the mix of techno and trance. Look it up on Google. Good song you've got here man. Keep it up. I look forward to hearing the full version. Hit me up with a PM when you have it completed, ok?
