So I've (almost) finished my first piece of music and I was wondering if I could get some feedback on it. Plz try and keep the criticism constructive.

Very basic synths, no real change (always using the same patterns over and over), there isn't any energy, and is really empty.

1) Learn synth design, and learn how to make unique and powerful synths

2) when you listen to songs, start to analyze their structures (it sounds hard, but it really isn't), and find how many times they change patterns. It's recommended that you use a song of the same genre as this one. It's also a good idea to take a very popular song of the same genre and place it on the sequencer, but mute the track. Then structure your song around that song (with different synths and melodies/rhythms, of course)

3) Add in more synths, percussion, mix the drums better (usually by sidechaining them), just make sure that on the frequency analyzer, there aren't any huge spikes or dips in certain frequency ranges. That should help the song both in feeling more full and having more energy. Of course, the high end of the frequency spectrum won't be as high as the very low end, but do your best. Trust both your ears and your eyes. Your ears will help you where your eyes can't and vice versa.

Thx. This is VERY basic as I've only been using Fl for about a week now so I've still got a lot to learn. I don't suppose you'd know any good tutorials on this sorta stuff?

Basic college courses. They're free and easy to take. Just sign up, download the videos, watch. You could also go to the MLR Beginners guide and read through that.

Thx again. The uni courses I can't really do 'cause I've still got to deal with high school but I'll be sure to look up the guides.

Sign up for them anyways and download the videos. You can just watch the videos on your own schedule, you don't need to be on time for anything.

So did this during some spare time that I had. A simple mash up between Glaze's Heartmender and Silva Hound's Hooves Up High. Could still use a bit of work, mostly with the matching up of the vocals in the second verse.

If anyone (who am I kidding) wants to download this just message me and I'll put the DL up.

So I've finished the WIP I had. Not sure if I'm entirely happy with how it's turned out but it's only my first track so can't expect much. The second track is more of a dance one which I think turned out a lot better. If people want, I'll put the DL up.
