[Destroy Me]

It's actually a little bit catchy.

But it's very repetitive and kind of annoying. After about halfway through it starts breaking down and getting more annoying than interesting.

[Bomps]

I see what you're going for,

but there's not much here.

It's a long procession of the same relatively slow beat and one instrument, with another slow and faint instrument coming in later - doesn't really get the feel going.

You seem to know how to start and end a song, but it needs a lot of work, especially with beat variation and that main instrument.

[Mistic Drums]

Loops should loop well.

This one doesn't. It cuts off at the end and starts off slowly at the beginning, not to mention the cumulative effect of multiple sounds piling on one another, which grinds against the ears.

It's good that you figured out FL Studio, now use it to make something of substance.

[A little bit of this]

I've got to say...

You really can't slap random speech clips together with beats, sound effects, and noises and call it a song.

I understand that you may not have professional equipment, but you don't need much to make a decent song if you put some effort and time into the result.

[Outroduction]

I listened with good speakers

But I still didn't get much from this piece. Strong bass, yes, and decent beat, but nothing to grab or hold the attention.

Needs more.

[Breakcore]

Not bad,

but the notes, as the previous reviewer said, are off, and that deprecates the overall value of this song and makes it rather hard to listen to.

Your beat is not bad, though.

cky12qxz responds:

Well, thanks for reviewing this!
Anyway, in breakcore genre you just layer everything.
So that's why it sounds out of tune.

[Stomp The Beat]

I'm saying this to be nice...

You need to understand the elements that make up a good beat before you make a track. In some points you do put together a decent rhythm, like around 2:00, but often your syncopation is off.
The rate of the bass sounds you add do not match up with the beat, and though the beat does vary, there are no clearly defined points that mark the transitions between the segments.
Specifically, at the beginning, the beat is off from a natural rhythm.
You also need more sounds and different frequencies filled to make it a song rather than just a beat.

I hope this helps at least a little.

deathmage12 responds:

Thanks for the advice. I only made this because i was just bored with nothing better to do. But I'll take your advice to mind next time i try.

[Healing Ocean]

You're very good at playing.

I'm not sure this is a song, though, despite the fact that it sounds great. It would make for excellent background music for something.
If I had to name it, though, I'd say, "Journey Through the Soul", because it's very gentle, mostly, and very soul-touching.

MarkySpark responds:

Thanks for taking time out, appreciated. I will add your name "Journey through the Soul" to the short list. Thanks again

[Shadows of Rave]

Really nice!

Amazing piece! This ranks as one of my top faves ever.
If you want a suggestion, and I don't know if you do, try changing your pitch a little towards the middle/end of the song, it gets a little repetitive.

Shinrog responds:

I like it repetitive :) DEAL WITH IT!

[Os Vs Mjattie -of Softest Rain]

This is amazing!

A great piece of artwork. The piano is fantastic most of all.
Very inspiring, touches the soul.
Awesome job, keep it up!

ObsidianSnow responds:

Thanks a lot, One Who Listens!
