It's a loop because this is essentially my part for the first CTSG, built upon a little bit, and submitted as a loop. :P I definitely agree it could do better, the question is, what will I do with it? :\
The high synth is supposed to sound like that violin trick! :P It IS supposed to be suspense, though I also did it because I felt like being generic for some reason. D:
Glad you like the kick, the drums... hmm, maybe they are too standard. I thought that the repeating loop (the one that fades out in the high synth part) did something to give the kick a very neat, original sound, and the hihats really built the energy up... I guess I see what you mean when I think about the clap, though, but once again, I have a specific taste in claps. :P
I actually don't usually use basses on the offbeat, but all of the stuff I've been making lately either has the bass audible only on the offbeat, or the bass playing some sort of offbeat arp. I never have it play one note for both the whole offbeat, which I think is waaaaay too dull. >:(
Acid would sound perfect! :D Problem is, I have a hard time finding good, new acid sounds... :\ Ah well.
FL Studio doesn't work by copy-pasting lots of stuff, you know. ;) Doing that just makes the songs boring... copy-pasting is the last thing I'll do if I want to turn this into a good song. I like the little 2D/3D puzzle idea, I'll keep that in mind if I ever work on this again.
Glad you liked it overall, thanks for the review! :)
