Alright

Two main problems I found:
1. The choir. Systrus has its own choir preset; please use that one as it's much better. Than FL's preset audio clips
2. Mixing. Needs to be..."heavier" you know? Try using the HP filter so you have a lot of breathing space for kick and bass.

SonicJ responds:

Whoa, how did I neve see this before o.o? Thanks for the tips!

I agree

I agree with ArisingFlame, that you could touch up the choir. But other than the gospel sound, this was awesome! I could imagine the Greek god of the sea guiding millions upon millions of loyal and savage shark and squid to devour Greece's enemies!

SonicJ responds:

I lul'ed at this review o.O
You guys thought it could go with out the choir? I liked it :|
Thanks for the review

Well

I personally think you need new synths. If you're going to use a preset choir in FL Studio, use the one in sytrus. It's pretty good for a preset. I used it in one of my songs... > http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/94655

Anyway, I think you need to find some new riffs and instruments. Drums are the stronger parts of your songs.

3/5

Really strange and original. It's pretty strange and cool how you arranged it. I like the double kicks (or delayed kicks) that you brought in near the beginning. I also like the steel drum you used. Everything still sounds generally repetitive, and there isn't much else to this song. Maybe at some point, you should try to switch to a different melody. Create a long melody that travels far and wide, not just short and over and over again. Know what I mean? Keep it up.

SonicJ responds:

Strange and original? Thats a review I haven't heard yet :D The double kicks I think was what really made it sounds like something listenable Thanks for the review! But what was strange about it? o_o

FL presets!

The samples don't sound all that nice together. Choir sounds annoying how it's always cutting off. The effects and drums really have to go, it's all very cheesy sounding. Atleast try the sytrus presets or something a little more danceable. It might be ok if you use some more original sounds, maybe some good synth VSTs. Start exploring new sounds in FL, edit them, mix around the effects a bit, but please don't use the samples, they really don't do justice to the budding musician. When I was starting out with FL, that's kinda what I did, but once you look around, read a few tuts, you'll know how to get some real fresh sounds out of your music. I'm not saying I'm pro at FL, that's certainly not the case, just that there is a lot to learn about FL.
Good luck refining your sound. And don't take this review too harsh, experiment and practice is the key to improvement, and eventually, success!

SonicJ responds:

I never take a review the wrong way. This is Constructive criticism for me, and I take it to the heart.
As long as it's not what I got for another song "What is society coming to?" And got a 1/10. THats not helpful. I liked the cheesy sounding effects and drums ._. could you perhaps give me a link so some Fl studio tutorials? And thanks for the helpfull review :)
