You know what it IS!

Please tell me what you think. It took an hour, but it sounds like I spent a week making it!

OrganisM · 09-16-2007, 05:29 PM

To be honest, it really does sound like you took an hour to make it.

verra · 09-16-2007, 05:31 PM

It's better than your "happy hardcore" song, but still it's too repetetive. Vary your music a little! If you did that it would be better. Length is not always the key to making music.

How the **** did you download it and listen to the whole 3 minute song in 2 minutes!?

**DarkbearX** · 09-16-2007, 05:34 PM

Making a simple beat with a stale melody and repeating it until it's the length of an average song doesn't make it sound like it took you a week to make; it sounds like it'd take any musician about 20-30 minutes.

Although, it was pretty cool for 30 seconds. After that, it just got repetitious...

Tibs · 09-16-2007, 05:34 PM

Clearly he didn't listen to the whole song

ledwix · 09-16-2007, 05:36 PM

it's all right. a little bit catchy, but repetitive. what'd you use to make it?

and uh, flyleef, he probably opened it and skimmed through it, skipping to like four different parts of the song. and they all sounded roughly the same, so he judged it off of that, i bet.

Infinity^ · 09-16-2007, 05:38 PM

you take the same beat and copy and paste it through the entire song it seems like.

**zajac** · 09-16-2007, 05:38 PM

First off. Belongs in Musician's Jungle Gym.

Secondly. As for the beat itself. I'm glad you like it, but ir really DOES sound like it took an hour to lay it down.

Even for a simple beat, it is excessivley repetitive and sounds like absolutely no mastering, compression, EQing, anything of the sort was done, as well as the drums sounding like they are presets straight outa FLS.

I definately think you can go somewhere with this beat and collab with someone to lay a vocal track over it... But please next time put it in the Musician's Jungle Gym and don't try to advertise the song as being awesome and only having took an hour to produce, because people will see that and automatically have a bad first impression of the song without even having listened to it yet... Y'know what I mean?

ANYWAYS! Good hour well spent! But needs a lot more work! Can't wait to hear a much more worked on version if you choose to do so!

I'll post what I said in Flyleef's profile:

Actually, I've listened to the song on repeat since you posted it out of curiosity.
For the first listen, I listened through more than half of it, and then scrubbed through the rest. Your song is overly repetitive, thus I don't need to listen to every second of it to grade it.

verra · 09-16-2007, 05:42 PM

Basically Flyleef, switch it up a bit, add some different melodies to the song, change the drums around, add some fills get creative. You have a good beat, and some good synths but spruce it up a little, then it will be a lot better. Trust me.

Problems · 09-16-2007, 05:50 PM

Loses status of cool at 46. Just too repetitive. Others have already said everything there is to be said. Just take it in to consideration when you edit/make a new track.

Flyleef · 09-16-2007, 05:53 PM

I understand. I'm stuck in repetition. I hope I get better.

behanjc · 09-16-2007, 05:53 PM

Add a completely different overlaying melody to make it cool.

Flyleef · 09-16-2007, 06:06 PM

Thanks everyone!

OrganisM · 09-16-2007, 07:10 PM

I just wish each time you post a half-hearted mix you don't whine at me and tell me that my opinion isn't valid just because I don't like it.

I'm not being an ass, but I've got the right to honest criticism.

**adlp** · 09-16-2007, 07:17 PM

how come thers no words

I never did

**Gorlock** · 09-16-2007, 08:00 PM

the drums fail to impress me. the rhythm is pretty simplistic, but not the groovy kind of simplistic cuz you have busy synths in the background. there should be words or something over the beat to give it a different level of interest. definitely work on it. and work on mastering your drums just in general, they didn't seem to compliment each other. there was no sort of buildup or climax either... which makes the track dull overall.

good luck in the future.

I didn't like it so the first thing you do is say that I didn't listen to the song.
