Inspired by Crystal Castles to some extent, so I thought I'd put this under Indie due to the fact that they are Electronica/Indie.

This is my first FL Studio track (or any digitally created track I have made for that matter), and has been an entirely experimental and educational experience for me. In my opinion the song gets better as it goes along... as my skills developed I guess :)

I reply to all feedback! Also, I will most likely update this later, so your feedback helps me fix any problems!

"Great Song!!"

At 00:26 when it changes you needed to remove the bass or use a change the bass so it wasn't as distorted.
I think that lead Styrus was a bit to loud.
Im also not sure about the drums where is starts and stops.
You should have made another lead Styrus that played the same thing but had a different sound, then you could fade between them so is doesn't always sound the same.

"action"

by: zahan
date: April 26, 2009

you can make it a little like *first riff* *second* *first* *second* *third* *first* *and a lot different version of 2* something, just a thought, cuz the extended repeating in melody makes it dull a little

basically a little bit of action needed...pretty good potential and usage you have btw :)

"good try"

date: April 26, 2009

i can see you put a lot of effort into this, but you still fail. first of all, the bass stayed the same throughout the entire song and didn't match the rest of the song. it was like it was in a different time signature or something. second, the entire mood of the song changed several times during it. i listened to the first 20 seconds of it, then started skipping through and every time i skipped, it was like i was listening to a completely different song. try to make the mood stay the same for the entire song. maybe change a little during the chorus, but anything else makes it really hard to listen too. you have potential, good luck!

The bass didn't stay the same at all, it changes many times throughout the song. Try listening to the whole thing next time instead of skipping....

"i hate titles"

by: 14etan
date: April 26, 2009

seriously im writing a review not a novel why do i need a title? well first the melody is nice but it takes to long to change and gets a tiny bit repetetive what i like to do is have a melody in the beggining then switch to somthing random and have that lead back to the original melody. also a change of instruments here and their would be nice. the drums were a little to soft. overall pretty nice try to get real instruments in to piano always goes nicely with tech music. ur lucky you have FL im stuck with garageband gag. nice work man

"Good start"

date: April 26, 2009

Very well done for your first FL Studio track. Progressively, it's a very interesting piece, and I enjoyed the pitch changes in the notes near the end.

Some instrument variety and a less repetitive melody could make this better, though, and perhaps adding some non-synth instruments would make it sound even more intriguing.

Wow thanks! This is the type of criticism I need. I'll try to expand my riffs next time, as well as my instrument range.

:)
