[Koltred - DNB 38]

Could be worse I guess.

I like dnb but I don't like this. Very manufactured sounding.

[Stepping Stones]

Needs variation.

You can't make all the instruments all do the same thing all the way through, it just doesn't sound good.

Make your tune longer and more varied, change up the beat a little and then you'll have a song.

[Rasta bassline]

Nothing here

This entire "song" is just modified preloaded beats and sliced voice clips with some bass.

I know this review is coming in way late, but if by chance you do read this, consider doing more next time.

[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.

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.

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.
