i said pop music, you know like the stuff you hear on the radio (at least where I live.)

sure but if you won't transpose it it's unlikely I will either

well pop music is mostly about romance and sex lol

It's not that I don't know how to do it, it's just an inane amount of scrolling.

Sound cloud does not work.

imo automation is a pain in the arse...but i have been prone to use sweeps and reverb every now and then. Can you show us some of your school projects?

well with non instrumental music you have lyrics which can add extra depth to a song (or take it away.)

hi. it seems we have a plague of sequencedness in the forums and also pop music. every thing seems to be a sequence of block patterns that just interchange here and there, forming a very structured and sequenced kind of music. i think we all need some guidance on how to break free of this structure

like the 1:11 part, but a few seconds later lots of dissonance, which did not sound good and ruined the mood so I stopped listening. lots of potential though. also liked the harp thing at 2:55

fruity soundfont player, genesis megadrive soundfont.

happiness/joy sadness/reflection face melting/energy haunting/abandoned warbeats/building energy futuristic/unusual chords erratic drum beat and japanese dissonance comedic/funness don't confuse this with qualites of music such as musical/prestigious down-tempo/chill dance-able music/steppy Discuss.

FL exports big mp3's without exporting every drum, especially when there are a lot of drums close together. How can I avoid this?

After the 6th chord repeat I suggest something like a darker chord progression, altering the chimey thing so it fits in with the new chord progression (da-do-de, da do de da) Currently it sounds fine, kind of reminds me of a pleasant sofa, with that chimey thing, so I guess it's up to you. Or you could wait a bit and change it at 0:57, that way you could leave the chimey thing in .don't know what key your song is in or BPM, but here's an example that might get you on the right track :http://soundcloud.com/erineclipse/chord-example dont know if it fits that well but

Well, it's kind of repetitive, but that's techno:-D Personally I would change the arp (not because it's bad, just because it's repetitive) at 0:25 and add an extra melody. PS: It's not Dn'B. (Dn'B has deeper, lower pitch bass and more spaztic breakbeat drums, and overall a darker atmosphere.)

Yep it is good now, but imagine how good it will be if you add some melodic variation by changing the chord patterns and stuff (provided you know what you're doing.)

Done using soundcloud because it does not work.

techno agdda

repetitive but good

very good harmonies but should break out into something more action-y in the middle

It's not just that, it's just modern vst's rely heavily on reverb to sound good, delay effects ect. A lot of them have a long attack as well. The worst part is most of them just sound bland and cookie cutter euro, and the harmonics never really blend well with the other presets. Believe me I've tried most of them, flipping through every preset and never really finding the sound I've wanted, always settling for less than I needed. The only internet VST I haven't tried yet is Nexus, which I've heard good things about (and maybe a few others, which I didn't feel too compelled about). Otherwise if you want something modern and good you might need an analogue keyboard.

Spider tower is good but the buildup becomes repetitive near 0:30 and should instead be replaced after 0:30 with a melody of some sort. Dinosaur Chase needs lots of percussion for it to be a true dinosaur chase. Also add a few embellishment riffs here and there and melodies. White Factory was good but suggest at 0:27 adding or changing instruments, because it was hard to tell that was a new melody coming on. At 0:57 the arp sounded like it had some wrong notes but not sure. At 1:27 after the arp part was done I could tell you were trying to bring in the emotion but you should add something that leads in to it better. Princess Tale was good but add more dynamics, too loud at times. also slow up the background arp during sad, emotional or reflective parts. Castlecloud was good, suggest adding a metronome chanting choir though. Also suggest adding a transformation (changing some instruments, key, melody etc.) halfway through the song to maintain interest. Laser Motorway was also very good, although maybe add some emotional riffs here and there. I think you are trying to convey the atmosphere of the motorway, and you did that very well. It would not work as the race music itself, which I do agree with Ectogonic on. Also maybe get rid of the last note of the first part of the melody.

the beginning synth.

liked it until 17, then it got all weird 70's scooby doo on me, then after 38 it just got really creepy. Rainbow Road is supposed to be uplifting, not creepy. i guess my worst complain is the song doesnt go anywhere, its really boring. what happened to the main melody? nobody knows lol

dead link :/

Very interesting and unique style of sound.
