    Desperately Need Music Critique ASAP!

    I've been working on a few song to possible make a collab album with a friend in the future.

    I have some "kinda-finished" songs that I want more than just my perspective on it. I already know I need to fix the levels in a few spots but I'd like whatever feedback I can get.


    THESE WILL PROBABLY BE TAKEN DOWN SOONISH! SO LISTEN QUICK! THANKS!

    Dubstep song with very deep bass. Some older speakers might make this sound distorted.

    An experimental song. 120BPM Dubstep (aka chillstep/slowstep/whateverstep)
    It's supposed to be sorta of a sad and lonely sounding song.

    A Dubstep and Dance combination song. Probably my favourite at this point, but I already know I need to fix the levels on the snare (already have a newer version that fixes the levels of the beginning part)
    Edit: Replaced with the newer version.

    I agree with you on the fact that your last one is the best.

    I liked all of these, but there was a layer of slightly unprofessional to all of them, and I think that's just in your sound design and samples choice, which there's nothing you can do about other than keep doing what your doing and you'll discover new things, and your music will just continue to improve. I see big potential out of you.

    The reason I liked your last one the best is because your bass was simple enough and heavy enough to impress me. I think you should try and work in the lower registers more often, like you did in the third song. (In my opinion you shouldn't have put the panning automation on the bassline though, when it dropped at least)

    I hope other people post in here O.o

      I pretty much put in the panning effect because it actually made it sound a LOT better. I tried it without it and it sounds like a simple saw wave. Thank you so much for your advice, it seems like nobody really comments on anything of mine :s

      I do know my sound it different from most others, sometimes it works, like in my "fakebit" songs, but unfortunately I'm not completely sure how to improve it much. I did try to work with frequencies a bit and slight compression, which did help the sound some, but I just can't get the professional sound I keep hearing. I know I'm in no way a professional, but I've heard the sound I want from people using FL for a shorter time than I have. If anyone wants to maybe give me a few tips on what might help, it would seriously mean the world to me!


      Thanks for the help, midnghtraver
