    Decent techno music, looking for feedback

    http://adamaja456.newgrounds.com/audio/


    I haven't been making songs for too long so I'm still learning different things about Fruity Loops 7 but if you guys could give me some feedback on what you think of my music, i would really appreciate it.

    btw, my favorites and Failure is Impossible and Inner Strength

      I will review those two songs on Newgrounds (I'm Shamukh).

      Listening to Failure is Impossible, and it sounds a bit dimrain-esque and lacking. I'll get into it on Newgrounds.

              Good god, you do sound like Dimrain O_O. Note that this is in a good way, though.

              Well, for your genre (which I interpret as happy/hardcore), it lacks depth. I recommend that you use my three fundamental parts of a song (excluding standard percussion): Bassline, supporting instruments, and melody. It makes excellent songs near perfect, makes okay songs sound good, and makes crappy songs sound less crappy. If anything, definitely add a bassline.

              Also, most if not all of your songs are shorter than two minutes. Try making your songs longer, but not at the expense of style and quality.

              Other than that, you have a nice style. Keep making songs.

                  thanks for the advice pureblood
                  yea dimrain just happens to be one of my fav techno producers XD

                  Sometimes I find it difficult to make longer songs without sounding too repetitve.

                      Quality over quantity. Take as long as you need, just make the song sound good.

                              That makes little to no sense. How Perfect/good/okay/crappy your song is is determined on how much time and effort you put into it; adding a bassline will do jack-squat if your song is just a potpourri of random sounds all meshed together, per se.

                              Now, to add on to what PBT said, you definitely need an underbelly for the song (generally, subbass [i.e. a sine wave eq'd below 200 hertz], and pads, sweeps, effects, things to brighten up the track). You need more consistent percussion, and possibly more of a progression, rather than just bringing your percussion in and out haphazardly.

                              Mainly, you need to stray from presets (e.g. the reason why I said your music was Dimrain-esque, beside the fast bpm). Learn the frequency spectrum, and EQ every sound you use accordingly. Learn your effects (really basic effects in techno are reverb and delay). Beyond that, it's all what you think personally sounds best. Best of luck to you!

                                          I have yet to see any (serious) artist simply putting "random sounds" together, but that's a beside the point.

                                          One example of my previous statement is Crank That by Soulja Boy. I can barely identify the bassline in that song. When Travis Barker remixed it, it sounded about 10 times better. Look the Travis Barker remix up on Youtube.

                                              Most of them seem plain. They all need more to it to make it seem more intresting instead of hearing the beat and one noise.

                                                          I hope you realize that both of those songs are nowhere near the topic of discussion.
