My review, your song.
Sounds an awful lot like Deadmau5 and Kaskades "Move for Me".
Assuming it isn't, the mix is great, a little bit quiet at parts, progression is slow, and in a 3 minute song doesn't mean theres a lot of room for it to go very far. This songs more rythmic then it is melody.
Could use drum variaition, more then a bass/lead/drum/pad track. Some turn tablism, vocal samples, accompaniment towards the end would have helped conclude the song alot.

My review, your song.
0:14 bass adition works.
Detune on main sound near the 0:30 mark was a bit excessive.
Melody near 0:45 I felt fit the overall style of this minute song quite well.
Drums sound like FPC and not only stand out as FL material, but stand out ina sense that they don't compliment the song very well. Some FX to give them a more lo-fi feel would do.
Simple song as you suggested, very ambient, unique sound with the phasers/flangers.
Bit short, I would have liked to have heard more, and hear better fittubg drums.
3/5 7/10
Yeah, drums are FPC, I naively hoped that no one would notice =D
I will try to make the improvements you have suggested, they sound quite reasonable.
Thanks for your time and help! =)
My review, your song.
Haha W. Wonka samples.
I'm in agreement with the previous review, more sample eidting could have done well here. Could do some stuff like soundgoodize, EQ its bass up, add stereo, and make Wonka sound like a god.
More indepth cutting and fitting to beat would also merit nice results.
The song itself has what sound like a lot of definable FL presets, simple rythms and melodies.
The song has a nice fullness to it, but the mix is not flawless, a lot of sections in this song things are a bit too bass heavy and start fuzzing up the overall sound.
Drums are very simple too.
Despite generally disliking trance, the Wonka samples made this a positive experience in my night.

My review, your (Basshunters?) song.
Understand that Basshunter does not really 'make' kicks, and alot of his music is reused melodies from other artists. So your likely remixing something he's already remixed of someone elses.
Opens with a kick, its kind of a neat way to setup a song.
Cheering sample evident, there is no reason to have cheering in your mix. Its probably my number one piss off with music here on NG (there are many others though). It basically muttles up your music, and sounds like some pretentious self infalted gesture of ones ability that your music is cheer-to-able.
And the response "Well it helps fill out my music" does not mean its a good way of filling out your music, but a stronger indication that your music needs filling out via good music.
Typical rev cymbals open up the song.
Bassline is 1 one active arp mimicry of the melody.
Melody is a one note melody. Some chords tossed in on either it, or a third acompaniment would be nice (and would likely help fill out the song inpalce of cheering.)
Drum rolls and fills are satisfactory. Nothing really new, but their well done.
1:30ish the stabby synth I think could have used some alternative rythms to make it more interesting to listen to, while effectively not having to expand on actual melody writing.
2:00 theres an acompaniment. Fills out the song nicely. At this point I'm noticing the song lacks much stereo/panning use.
2:25 bridge is just a drop off of instruments. Had it played something else, when the song returns to the chorus at about 2:35, it would have a much more profound impact on the listener.
To the end, more of the same.
Ending fades nicely.
Mix is fine, drums are alright, synths used 'work'.
Song is low on FX, and the overall progression is pretty much a regurgitation of what I imagine to be an 8 bar loop. Everything is pretty simple and not striking me as super original.
Work on your song progressiong and writing. Don't rely on Basshunter, he's known for music, but should be known for what he's good at - production and performing. (And even then, a lot of people would argue he's not that good at either)
Unoriginal midi rip results with low scores.
2/5 4/10
Wow Man that's one well of a review!
I'm not English OR American But i'll do my best to understand all this...
First of all I made a mistake with that Basshunter's original kick thing.
It's just a Kick that he used as well (I think)
Anywayz, I am glad to hear there are also thinks u DO like about this track! ;)
But I'll upload some tracks I totally made by myself (without midi files) make sure u check them out to! ;)
My review, your song.
String of words and phrases using FLs synthetic speech preset robot, and milk-toast.
While its arguable the choice of words and phrases are some artiscic criticism of media and materialistic beings. (Or w/e wackey angle might be argued).
This just isn't likeable, (traditional) music, and nor does it sound like more then 2 minutes worth of effort whent into it.
1/5 1/10
Thank you for demoralizing a couple of little kids. Have fun with that life of yours.
My review, your song.
Often at night I sit and review some songs. I've just witnessed 3 spam songs, and 2 awful loops shorter then 10 seconds. Prepare to be receive praise for reminding me not everyone has the capability of writing music (though I'm still a critical bastard).
First off, your song title isn't capitalized, and punctuation in a song title looks silly. Its a step away from professionalism, and you aren't Prince, so you don't get to do things like that unexplained.
Opening synth and bass line are quite neat sounding. Sounds like vanguard synths.
Drums enter with an on beat kick/clap. Very simple drums, but it 'works'. Drums mix sounds like they've been volume boosted with maybe a bit of EQ. Not flawless, but they certainly don't sound flat. This is overall good.
0:28 secondary vanguard preset synth comes in playing notes perfectly on beat. At this point I'm noticing a trend, everything falls directly on beat.
Bass is playing a mimic of melody with a 1 octave arp. Very simple, subtle variation will make it go much further.
0:54 good spot for a bridge / mixup. Drums could have played some other pattern here to good effect.
1:24 synth re-enry. Loving its sound, its melody not so much.
1:36 returns to what would be the 'chorus' of the song. As you suggested the song is repetitive. I'd recomend you think of a typical pop songs structure when writing music. While you won't be writing pop yourself, the general shape of bridge to chorus is a good song setup, as well as really easy to do.
So in this song, if you took your bass section in the middle, played some alternative melody there, when the song returned to the 'chorus' it wouldn't feel as repetitive.
You need to do some more drum patterns, have a few drum fills, varied beats. Not even something super fancy, just something to help break the monotony of it.
Not 100% sure what your comment is about when you say used a clip from a youtube video. I'm guessing you transposed what they wrote into your session file. Frankly thats a poor way of writing music, since like 99.99% of youtube vids of FL either do things inefficiently, write poorly, write basic music, or are just wankers of some sort. Anyways... The melodies and bass line are alright, they ar exceptionatly simple. Their major draw back is the perfect on-beat-ed-ness of this. Gets this kind of punchy feel to it where its like a rhythmic skull drill (the unpleasant kind).
To avoid that, simply making some notes play on the beat and off the beat will help create a new rythm. Or just shift some notes over an 8th note. Turn the 4th notes into 16th notes, something once every 2 bars would be enough to break the flawlessness of the unbeat metronome.
And thats probably enough for this review.
Overall, don't worry about mixing for now, worry about song structure, melody writing, rythm diversity, and percussion variation.
3/5 7/10
wow first long crit review :D thanks a lot ill be sure to use everything you suggested in making music a little better. I tried mixing to make it sound a little better than the original but ill be sure to make better melodies and work on the drums oh and for the title lol yea i didnt know what to put . it was the last thing my buddy send me on msn so i put that haha
My review, your loop.
Reviewing 11 seconds of audio.
Bass insturment is neat, tube synth is cool.
Bit of discordance with some of the sounds tune/detune though.
Drums are simplistic, fit into the 'mix' well.
Loops perfectly.
And is 11 seconds. While I understand this is for 'future raps', as you stated, the ammount of effort required for producing a peice like this is so far beyond what you should be capable of with more time, and to support that contrast, this gets low scores.

My review, your song.
Intro with some heavy distorted drums, I'm happy so far.
Lo-fi bass at 0:10, still liking. Mix is alright, not noticing any serious clipping issues or unintentional distortion.
0:28 Higher synth addition, songs building nicely.
0:36 Guitars lo-fi, not a sound I like, but it fits pretty well in this song.
1:03 nice minimalist section here, this songs progressing quite nicely.
1:20 Lead guitar and bass guitar I think hit some discordant notes, unsure if thats mistakes, intentional or not, but it simply didn't sound too goo to me.
The pure synth around 1:50 has a very nice contrasting clearness to it. Explosive drums maintain my interest.
Outro is simple but evident, and the song loops well.
Of the four songs you have uploaded, this ones my favorite of them, as well as the most original / best done. Hope you continue in this direction.

I know you probably hear this a lot, but thank you for the great review. Really. Couldn't be more helpful to me as a newbie.
I appreciate it.
My review, your V/A
Lot of mistakes, and you need to buy a good mic. It sounds like a wind tunnel throughout the podcast.
3:01 this is noticeable when individual B speaks up.
3:30 - As you suggest, the individuals are likely not super bright, probably intoxicated, and the whole 'group mentality' thing going on. Its unfortunate that this happened, but its questionably more annoying that its being sold as some rare occasion, despite being filler media.
Overall the podcast is alright, a faster paced, more punchy point by point discussion would be more interesting, lot of idle rambling.

My review, your song.
Well this sounds like a midi rip, song mashup, and looped.
Mix is sloppy, its all just one amalgamated mesh of noise. Make bass have more bass, raise leads higher freqs.
Take advantage of panning on drums and the little SFX blips (first heard at the very beginning of the song).
The blips I found got rather annoying, either change them to play more on key, else make their volume lowered.
Song lacks an ending, it just loops 3 or so times then fades out.
Should have made this a play through once loop.
Its not poorly setup, but if your going to midi rip these sort of songs, the remix should atleast be something new or worthwhile listening to. There are hundreds of these already, and their pretty talentless to do. I simply can't give it good scores.
