Awesome Beats XD

I like this tune each beat is bouncing from one to another like a basketball keep this up cause this tune made my day XD

Thanks for the review :D

The intro....SO GOOD!

The Intro synth pluck chord progression sounds really good! But when you added the kicks into it, i think the song was a bit...too sidekicked. If you made the synth yourself, i think you should lower the filter on it, and make it more saw-wave style(a slight saw wave. Not too heavy) Maybe do something like what you did at 2:05-2:38? That part sounded really good!
But I think everything else sounds good! i like where you put the white noise in, and nice build up! Nice job on the synth bleeps. I enjoyed it.
Keep up the Good work

I pumped this out in about a day or so, so I'm probably not going to make many changes, but I'll definitely take your advice into consideration for the next time I do something like this. Thanks for the review!

I love it! Despite the criticism you've drawn for this song's repetition, I find it almost flawless. The melody that plays throughout the song is great--I love the mellow mood it conveys. I like how you start adding more layers toward and during the climax. The sidechaining didn't annoy me that much. In fact, I didn't even really notice it until I saw your mention of it in the description. The only minor flaw is the lack of a noticeable bass line, but the kick sorta makes up for it. Nice work, and you should make more songs like this.

what

The sidechaining is fine. Cool effect, makes it sound way tight. imo. Though I see where people are coming from, it's a biiiiit much when the track is 8 minutes long. I do agree that the tune is wayy repetitive. The content you have in this track warrants maybe 3 minutes, if you're gonna extend it that much, you need to have a lot more going on (not necessarily at once though).

Good beat

Well, let's start with the good - the piece has a good beat. I hear that all the way through the track, even to the point when I feel that it's affected my own heartbeat - I thought that only happened in nightclubs.

The bad thing is undoubtedly that the beat obscures the rest of the track, as opposed to complimenting it. Like someone in a choir shouting over the top of the soloist something like "Can you hear that? Aren't they good?!" Tone down the bass a little, to allow the rest of the track - the melody and counter melody especially, the chance to shine through of their own accord.

Don't get me wrong, this piece has potential in spades, but at eight and a half minutes, it needs to have a major change to allow it to fulfil this potential.

I did get back into FL after reading some of the reviews and experiment with the sidechaining, and while I agree that it is a very excessive amount I found that the song felt like it had less substance to it without it. It's like the kicks are the staples holding together a bunch of papers. With such a simplistic melody going on, there isn't very much that is covered by the sidechaining in the first place. Thanks for the review!
