Random intro and end... nice middle.
Its pretty simple from the beginning and doesnt include much melody till about a half minute in. Though the melody is nice once it kicks in. This track would be better if it had more structure to it. It jumps around... suddenly gives you a taste of a nice melody... then jumps right into the end. The beats and effects arent bad... its just composed poorly. The good parts stand out quite a bit though. I like it for the most part. Keep em coming.
Yeah, I agree with you. This is an old track though, lol... I've kinda lost interest in GarageBand though. . . teachers at school locked it and I don't have an eMac at home :\ I'm working on improving my FL skills though, but I doubt I'll have anything out soon, lmao. . .
thanks for the review

Very fruity loops...
Not bad for a first tune... but I can immediatly recognize half the samples you used. The track lacks FX. The shaker is totally faded to the left channel. The melody isnt bad... but it doesnt really change. The "take this out" sound-bite is insanely common and I lament its use.
Im just happy you know how to use the most basic functions of the FL layout... it took me a while to find the playlist function.
Definitly keep it up.
Thnx for the review a little harsh but fair thnx...
It took me 30min to find the playlist stuff but it's pretty hard to make melodies and tunes at least i think so so i just putted some vocals a drum loop a bass en stuff in it and it sounded ok...
Anyway thnx 4 the review
The beat kills this one.
Immediatly the beat kills your originality score... ive heard it before a couple of times. The second break you used isnt bad but ive heard it before as well. The bassey melody thing you have going on fits well for this kind of track even if it is just an arpeggio. The melody during the second half is a lot better... though I would have liked to hear some change ups.
Its not bad... but it definitly needs fine tuning and further personal touch.
You're right, I'm a rookie.
I understand what you're saying. I'll take your advice and get more sophisticated.
Off the shelf samples.
A lot of the samples youve used sound very familliar and generic. It is also indeed spontaneous like you say. The beat is ok... kind of heavy in the bass. The ambience in the background feels sort of stuck. The melody isnt bad but again... the samples youve used make the track sound very off the shelf. The composition isnt bad for a "beta". Critiques aside its definitely worth a listen or two.
Ill definitely check out the final version.
A lot of parts were finished hurriedly. A lot of samples are off the shelf, however they aren't the original samples unmodified.
Thanks for the review. It tells me what to fix! :D
Sounds like Britan dnb to me.
This reminds me of the london label good looking records style of drum n bass. Very old school and funky. Though this track seems somewhat low key... or simple. Its got a great beat and the melody isnt bad but I dont think it varies enough for how long it is. I enjoy listening to it and am glad to hear something composed with fidelity in mind. Good work over all.
Thank you very much for these honest but kind words :)
I like it a lot.
This track has insane flavor. The drums are fast pased and great. The sample you used for the melody is nice and different. The only problem I can hear is the drums losing the rythm somewhere in the middle there... it threw me off the first time. Aside from this its an awesome track.
Oh thx a lot ,but I did that on purpose! ^^
Great theme
This piece really stands out... thanks greatly to the theme. You fit the sound-bites in there very well. Though... the beat was really simple and didnt change much. Also, it was overshadowed heavily by the gunfire. The melody was nice and it goes well with the beat... but it just dissapears half way through the song.
Good effort and a great idea...
... show us more.
Indeed generic.
The bass is good and strong... a great effect for this type of music. The beat is very classic but also very generic. Slicing it up a bit would improve this track greatly. The separate samples could also use some equalizing. The drum stands out in the trebble and the bass in well... the bass. They end up sounding too separate. With a bit more melody and form... this could be pretty cool. Sounds incomplete at this point.
Dont get me wrong... I want to hear more.
ok,thanzx 4 te reviyoo
Kickin drum n bass.
Aside from the beginning... this reminds me a lot of AK1200. Hard, in your face bass with steady hard beats. Distinctive melody in the bass. You have an awesome ear for the sound. My only gripe is the symphony sample you used... it doesnt fit with this at all and you barely used it. Its nice and crisp and just doesnt mix with the hardcore nature of the rest of the track.
Distinctly drum n bass... though I would like to hear more personal flair.
The beat is badass by the way. Good work.
Hmm AK1200. I was looking for more of a Pendulum reference. The symphony is not a sample. Its a plugin, and since it was switching to a hip hop beat, I added it.
Had to do a double take...
Had to start this one over as I listened to it. It seems to blend from one feel/genre to another as it progresses through the first minute or so. It starts out with one melody... and you dont hear that one again... then it moves into a trancey feel. After that the drums and bass kick in to give it a very general drum n bass feel. After that it gets really ambient and you dont hear the drums again. The biggest issue with this one has got to be its consistancy. It moves around from one feel to another and doesnt mix too well in my opinion. Dont get me wrong... you pulled them all off pretty well and it all sounds good. It just doesnt strike me as a song... its more like samples of a few songs.
It sounds pretty good... its just composed poorly. I think you are getting better though.
AHH!(8C) I know man...a true but harsh review! Yes dude I know this wasn't all that cooked up it should of been...I should worked on it for at least a month more..(dawm im stupid)
Yea this was mainly based upon how i felt though...one minute my life can be happy...then next thing you know people are YELLING at my face beating down.
Who cares now though I promise you though man...my next song will be MORE ALIVE THAN EVER DUDE! Thats i promise you! I worked hard on this song but i guess i didn't work hard enough.(sigh)
I promise you though...Exclude Viewtiful Sky because that one didn't really count I posted it cause like half of my files were missing and I couldn't find then so...thanks for the V ass review...and just...
Keep it V man!

I make breakbeat/drum n bass style music using Fruityloops, Cool Edit, mostly free or custom made samples, and my inability to focus on anything else. I believe in detailed constructive critisism. Advice is infinitly more useful than praise or scorn.
