[BJ - Moonlight]

Nice vibe.

Very R&B. You have some nice lead ins. The overall melody is good. Nice and mellow. Not much to complain about :).

[Still Dre Remix -FMA]

Not to be harsh.

You need practice. Here are some advice and tips ok?

When I first started to make beats the first thing i did to try and train myself is to remake a song that i really liked. Just so that i can get to know my program and learn a little bit about how a song is put together.The original track by Dre is dope no doubt, but i dont think its a very good track to use to learn how to make your own music.

The sounds you used are pretty low quality and im assuming they are default sounds from FL studio. Im not sure i dont use FL but they sound bad. The beat itself really doesnt go well with the melody at all. Its confusing and off putting. Is this dubstep? what exactly are you going for? If you make another song there are some things you should consider:

If you are just starting the song will take a long long time and there will be a lot of things you need/should do. The song needs variety. This means more than a couple samples. more than a couple drum sounds. more than a couple beat variations, and more than a couple sections of the song like an intro, breakdown, drop, chorus, hook, ect...

Is the beat made for rapping? is it an instrumental? Is it too repetative? is it not repetative enough? These are things you should think about.

If this is just your hobby and you dont want to get that into it or don't want to dedicate that much time into perfecting your technique that's fine. I'm not assuming that you want to become the next great producer. These are just some pointers and tips to making music that people will actually listen to and maybe comment on in a positive way. Good luck.

full-metal-albatross responds:

Wow, some very helpful stuff, thankyou. Yes they are default sounds because I only have the demo version. I didn't spend much time on this and I knew it sounded terrible when I submitted it but I just wanted to submit something because I'm impatient.

I'm actually going to try and make an original song with lots of custom beats and changes. It should take some time but hopefully it comes out right.

It is kind of just a hobby or something to do but I would like to submit something people take seriously and get a little recognition for. Thanks for the comment, that's exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for people to tell me.

[BJ - Just another Day]

Much respect.

An AMAZING song on so many levels. If i had to change anything it would be some of the equalizing. But hot damn this is some incredible shit right here. I simply must have this sample. No lie. The best song ive heard in a while.

[SH - TomFoolery]

This is my new shit.

You know i can appreciate the funkiness. You know i can appreciate the really slick sample work. You know i can appreciate the groove. The drums sound really organic. In summation its really good man. At least for my tastes.

shaggyhaired responds:

Thanks a lot man, I put a lot of effort into making the drums sound that way :)

[Kami | Sinsemilla In The Night]

Oh yeah!?

D: its dope. I like the ... hmm whats the word. the theme i guess of the song. Im a sucker for continuity. If that makes sense.

Kamikazi1 responds:

lol the theme is about smoking cannabis under the moon!

[TK || Lounge Hop]

It's a tad low.

But other than that its very solid. I really like the poppin drums. Good work.

[BJ - Eyes Closed]

0 bombers

need to step off this hotness.

GhostlyDoobies responds:

yea dude, i hate em.

check out my front page!

you might like what you see. :-)

Peace.

[EX!!! - Give Me Your Love]

Gawd do I love shit like this.

I'm a sucker for this stuff. And by this stuff i mean, a funky soulful brilliantly sampled piece of work like this. I feel the wonder, and its all up in my ears.

EternalXIII responds:

Thanks :3

[BJ - Funky Town]

I agree

Hip Hop foeva. This beat is sick. I really like the precussion. The sample work is very nice. The change ups add a nice touch.

[FF | Calm Hour]

Another relaxing ride

Through the town of Fingerville. I think the small touches are what make this song. I think people that submit take too much time looking att he big picture. When in reality it isnt all that complicated. Anyways, very nice indeed.

freddyfinger responds:

yea there can be some people like that here. over time they'll start to get a better feel of it usually. thanks for reviewing
