[SR - Pico's Battle]

Can anyone say Come to Daddy?

Sounds like a song I've heard before called come to Daddy, thats a good thing, cheers man :)

SineRider responds:

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

Better :)

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

[PaNdOrA-Fantasmal Sadness]

Pretty good, well arranged :)

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.

My name here is SGF in case you need some help with anything.

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.
