Author's Response:
The drums aren't as complex as in Come to Daddy, but it has a similar tone I guess.
Thanks for the review man :D

well, I may not tell you good job on the track, becasue again it's just you playin with Atomix Virtual Dj, but I did see in your last response that you're tryin to learn Reason & Floops. At that note, if you want to do a REAL remix, look for the midi file that you want to remix, and import the melody, that way the tune would be an actual remix.
Also, some of the effects you use can be done while actually dj'ing, so if you really do enjoy toying around with filters and effects, than maybe look into doing that.
I voted bassed on how well it'd sound if I heard this live, so it's not very highly rated, but still worth voting for, but NOT as a remix or original work of art. But I would like to hear you do some of your own stuff.

"Wow, pure Euro Freestyle :D"
Sweet dude, only thing I can sugest is doin a little work on your purcussions, but as this is a demo, I wont call you on it :P
Love that lead synth, sounds like V-Station :)
anyways, if you could get this all eq'd and all that stuff, I could soo see this getting signed to a Euro Dance/Trance label :)
Cheers !

Ok dude, dont take any of this personally, I mean all of this to help out in the future. Try to learn to EQ and compress all your sounds properly, also, try to expand your collection of vsts & purcs from the FL standard ones. The Kick seems a bit too loud, maybe if you lowered the distortion on it and eq'd up the low-mid range a bit and compressed it it's sound a bit better imo.
As far as overall? This song does have potential, if you weren't limited to FL you could probly make this quite a bit better, to explain the 6, the song is quite simple 'not always bad' , and lacks originality from your average EDM song. Also, the synths are all FL standards, and quite francly, I hate them, but you did do a good job using them.
Keep it up :) like i said, this song can go somewhere if you can upgrade all the sounds. If you can send a midi of it my way I'll take a shot at remixing it for ya, or helpin you out with any problems you have.
Peace

Thanx for the review, my most decent one yet! This track is over 3 months old and i agree with the lame eq and synths, infact i don't think i used any at all lol...
Cheers

Hey, some pretty good ideas in this one dude, sounds better than what I remember the last one as. The Purcussion still needs to be tuned up for the most part. the song doesn't really seem to go anywhere, but has a good feeling to it, and would work for game or flash music. An idea might be to try and experiamenting with melody work, try adding in an arpegiated background melody to it, if you could get me a midi of this I could show you what I mean, and I could send you some midi's of my stuff so you can see some examples and maybe work off of. peace

OK...
starts off pretty dark, liking the mood, the lead synth is pretty bad sounding, but not due to your work, simply need to get your hands on some better vst synths, the melody is great, just the sound itself. Bass as well, same problem. Purcussion, I sugest getting better samples, as I notice your using all FL standard stuff, so I'll not ramble on more about it. The arrangement is pretty standard for trance, works well, the melodies in this are pretty good, the piano adds a nice touch.
Likes : The Melody, very well done
Dislikes : The pure "FL"ness of it, if you were to redo this with better resources it'd sound great.
Improvements..
Get yourself some better samples and vst pluggins, as far as samples are concerned, try looking here, you have to sign up "it's free" but there are alot of people who can help you improve and I think that in a year or two you could be doing some serious sounding stuff.

Keep up the good work, for someone so young it's amazing what some kids are doing these days. Cheers!

i don think you are really looking at it from a general music listener's prospective.
you dont need to use sounds noone else uses to make something sound "good"
this is actually one of my first songs in a long while that used normal fruity synths.
and i was going for a really hard lead synth and i got it.
maybe ill remix this with different synths, but i dont know.
and as far as my age goes, im sick of those comments (not to be mean or angry) but its like an insult.
thanks for your resource links, that might help.
however i did jus get a huge pack of drum samples from my friend BOUNC3.
