Default My music has changed

Yes, my music has changed quite drastically since picking up fruity loops. Though I can't decide if it's for the better or worse. Newgrounds is no longer a good judge of how my songs doing because apparently someone has made it their priority to 0 bomb all of my songs every day haha.

I want YOUR opinions.

It seems this is the direction my music seems to be heading. It's fun to make, but It doesn't carry the emotion that my others used to. (due mainly to the fact that FL's piano blows hard and I can't seem to get akoustik piano to work without crashing FL)

I liked the song but I'd like to point out that the number 2 song on the charts was made in GARAGEBAAAAAAAAAAAND

number two song is raw though
but it sounds just like all of hascev's other songs

nubbin, i heard this song earlier today, i like it, more emotional, but i would hate to see you stop doing breaks and drumnbass and such, considering how well you do it.

whatever you do, im sure it will sound good
:]

I loved it as usual.

You have a really unique style and your drums are just flat out incredible. If anything, I'd rather see a musician progress and change up his sound rather than remain stagnant and keep pumping out the same material.

With that said, this track is all parts you...it's got some good synth, epic drums, and even some melodic piano at the end, which couldn't have ended the song any better. I'm not a music maker myself, so I can't really offer you poignant criticism other than what my ears have to say, and they said 10/10.

P.S. The song has looped for its 4th time now.

Well, your music seems less drum-rhythm-oriented and focuses more on steady drum patterns. Although I'm a bigger fan of the latter, it's not a matter of better or worse, but the style that you use.

And yes, the FL Piano does tend to suck balls, and it's hard to work around. My main problem is how harsh it sounds, which is usually solved by tweaking the knobs on the piano window or (as I recently discovered) working around with the Blood Overdrive. Also, if you want to use a VST piano, Cyanite said that he uses Nexus for his pianos.

I thought it was good until the drums kicked in.

Make an ambient song using the melodies and such, just make it like that first minute.

!!!

Edit: Any time the kick/drums aren't on, it's a very good song. Make it deeper btw.

With Drums: 3/10
Without Drums: 8/10
Breakbeat Drums: 6/10

Edit 2: Ok so the breakbeat drums weren't bad. But the rest of the drums sucked.

hehe that's a little brutal Lol kind of a backhanded compliment. But I appreciate your opinion and respect it all the same Mind if i get a link to your music page to get a feel for the drum beats more akin to what you're looking for?

Your high hats are much more prominent in these newer tracks, and I hear more of your secondary dominants

Your music is great, I remember when you were just starting out and didn't even have well a set DJ name or whatever. Back then your music was alright, but it is amazing now. You certenly have grown into quite the music producer.
