T O P I C     R E V I E W Slammer_Jammer_Man Well... I've managed to make my frist, coherent tune in Fruity Loops. Didn't turn out the way I hoped, I was going for a Hardcore song and it turned out Trancey... but I'm still fairly proud that I've managed to turn out something that sounds like techno and not just a bunch of synths, drums and kicks thrown together. I think it's too repetetive and has too much build up without enough oomph. Anyone have any comments or critiscisms as to how I can improve? I won't be improving on this song itself, I'll be making an entirely new one, just want to know how I can improve the next. Thanks. I'm going by the name DJ Fallen, and it's called I Am Your Father: http://www.terra-uo.com/kronos/music/I%20Am%20Your%20Father.mp3 _________________________ The only part of your body that should be partying too, every hour on the hour is the rebel in you! (Scott Brown - I Don't Need Nobody) bulby_g If ya want to add power put some bass in with the kicks k=kick b=bass k.b.k.b.k.b. Also you either have the bpm to high for a hardcore track (try between 160-180) or you are puttin too many kicks in each bar you want it like this k=kick (again) e=represnts an empty space on the step sequencer k.e.e.e.k.e.e.e.k.e.e.e.k.e.e.e. Hope that makes sense (I would never get a job as a diagram designer!) keep at it man http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?songs=322316&T=8156 ^^^My new tune^^^ eLASTIC yeah mate, lacking bass, and perhaps you could try applying some distortion effect on the kicks. i think initially you should try copying the structure of other tracks, not to say all tracks should be structured in that order, but it gives you a good feel of what works for the pros and when to introduce or take out samples and the different ways the pro use in their hooks which i find to be crucial and still fumbling my way around lol. ........Juss Passn By ; )........ Slammer_Jammer_Man Yeah, I know what you mean scr8tch, thanks for the advice. And I understand your diagrams bulby_g, thanks heaps. _________________________ The only part of your body that should be partying too, every hour on the hour is the rebel in you! (Scott Brown - I Don't Need Nobody) icex well you have to have an intro and um are u running this at like 300 bpm or just putting a kick after kick after kick. i think that u got some pretty cool sounds just need to place the correctly. next time try making a 4x4 kick, thats a start. Slammer_Jammer_Man I had it at about 220 bpm... I'm doing all my songs at about 175 bpm now. I don't know what possessed me to pick 220. _________________________ The only part of your body that should be partying too, every hour on the hour is the rebel in you!
