Wrong genre?

For starters, this ain't jazz, bud. The song (may I say loop, actually) is pretty decent, but I don't see the point in making it 34 seconds long when it cut easily be cut to 7 or 8. The bass was my favorite aspect of this song, the rest is rather decent. That's all I can offer for this loop really.

If it isn't jazz, tell me what genre it is. thanks for the review

It's ambient but...

..I feel like it lacked that one thing that makes ambient songs awesome, which I have no idea what it is, I just know it's not here.

Nice pads, but overall repetitive sound and it doesn't really get me hooked to the song. The ending was rather abrupt, which I disliked too. There's not much to point out here due to the lack of elements, but that pretty much sums up the song's aspects. The melody is the only thing that makes this song worth listening to, but even that is uninteresting.

So cruel, yet so true.

Hmmm...

First piece of advice: -Never- use preset samples with FL unless you're gonna layer them to make a different sound or modify then. We're all guilty of it indeed, but try getting rid of the habit. Eurogate is nice, but it's too cliche as well.

The melody doesn't really offer much and the drums are weak, to the point of being boring. I don't feel like you knew where the hell you wanted to go with the track, it seems very disorganized. You should try experimenting with melodies until you make something you feel is unique and catchy. It seems like you're new to the whole music-making hobby, so practice a lot and have fun.

ohh... ok... i think you are right... never again work with the preset samples that way
yep.. I'm very new
I still trying to learn how to use the program... but... that's not an excuse... I should continue practicing (a lot)
DISORGANIZED is the right word...
i like your review a lot... you really pointed a lot of things, and thinking about it.. you are right on them
thanx a lot man

Eh...

As mentioned before, the piano chords sound to distorted. I don't like the chord progressions, but at least it's better than the generic ones. The main melody is drowned by the chords and the drums, which is rather disappointing. As always, however, you excel at making melodies once again. The beat isn't repetitive to me, it's got a fair amount of variation and does the job. The distortion is REALLY killing the song, it's gotten annoying.

The thing near 3:34 sounded so out of place and random, it's almost ridiculous. Then I realized it's a flute, and a very ugly one, not to mention that it's the first time I hear flute in a jazzy piece. Ditch that because it messes up the whole song, a sax would have sounded way better, but good samples are hard to find. I hear some out-of-key parts, but that may just be my imagination or the headphones I'm using. It's still annoying.

Excellent ideas in the song but the execution was sub-par compared to the rest of your stuff. I also noticed a lack of proper mastering, all the sounds sound centered. With some polishing, this track could sound as good as your other ones. Regardless, decent job, keep it up.

Heh

That's it, I give up at making music haha. Your songs are just...mindblowing mate. The AP has lots of music, and there's a shitload of talented artists, but your music is all I ever want in a song: Beautiful piano, interesting drums, and sweet synths. The production quality is super as usual too. That's all I can give you for this one, because words can't express how amazing I think your style is.

Thank you very much gron :) I really appreciate all the reviews that you've given me :) words like this make me feel like there is a point to uploading my music :)

Hmmm.

Pretty funky track. I love the drum beat, it sets the mood pretty well for the track, and the bass is very catchy. The instrument that comes in at 0:31 feels out of place though, very much like the one at 0:54 (I believe that's one of the arp sounds from FL, isn't it?) It sounds like you didn't have your ideas well-arranged before assembling the tracks. The bass drowns the melody, the electric organ should stick out more. Could have been a better track, but some elements decrease the quality of the song. Still deserves a 7 though.

Not bad.

The song's main flaw is the lack of adequate mastering. The tunes are pretty decent, and so is the beat. The kick needs to be stronger as well, but so far, it's a pretty decent job.

Assios responds:

Thanks for your review :)

It doesn't own me D:

I never actually played Portal, but this is a very decent track. Nice use of samples and pretty good tune, it certainly doesn't get boring. The drums are very solid and so is the synth playing with it. Only problem would be length here, and the fact that there was no climax, even though it feels like the track's building up since 0:54.

All in all, a good track. Can't give much critique given the lack of flaws.

Wow.

I'm not into the DnB genre, but this one track blows my mind away. I can't really give proper crit because I absolutely love this song. Excellent use of samples. At 2:07, it's a Counterstrike sound, isn't it? Great transition too, keep it up.

Heh.

Someone give this man some goddamn instruments. Composition-wise, the track is excellent. Very catchy bass line, specially the intro. I can't actually give some decent crit on this other than the shortness and the lack of real instruments, but as it is, it's pretty damn good. I love it, it's a shame FL's default samples and synths aren't very good.
