Good song, considering your age.

Hey man, I'm in a good mood today. And feel like helping out felling FL Producers! Soooo your in luck! I'm going to try be as detailed and say this as nice constructive critism way as possible. (So please don't take any of my critisism to harsh).

First I want to talk about the overall song and song structure. The song itself is great sounding actually, I really like it man. The melody is catchy, got a catchy bassline. And best of all NO OFF NOTES. Which is really good. Cause if you have off notes thats a bad thing and it can really ruin your music. But good thing for you all your notes are in key and on the right scale when the chords change. But overall the song has a nice happy uplifiting feel to it, which is great! Sounds great. And now for the song structure itself... It does get a little repetative during the middle part where the melody repeats itself for quite a bit of measures. I'm sure this song would sound alot better if it was shortened down to say... Two minutes, or maybe Three Minutes. Anywhere in that time range and it would of been great. And your "Breakdown" part could of been ALOT better, it was definitly feeling empty. And the climax wasnt so great. Infact it didnt really feel like a climax at all. So thats something you definitly need working on.

And now as for percussion goes, your instruments you chose were okay. But they were sounding a little dry (same with your synths too, but I'll get to that later in the review). To prevent this "Dry" sound that you have, you could of added reverb and delays to your Hats and Claps (or snare, in your case). I wouldnt recemend using Reverb and Delays on the kick. Maybe try compressing the kick (if you don;t know about compressing I highly suggest you learn. You can easily find some tutorials on youtube). And one thing that you DEFINITLY need is a Crash Cymbal. I didn't hear a single one during the mix. If there were, you didnt put them in the spots needed. I suggest putting a crash everytime you intruduce a new intrument. Or to mark were changes in the song are happenening (Such as intro > Main > Break > Climax > outro) If you get what I mean. But yeah, crashes you need more of.

Now for a little talk on FX. I didnt hear much, other than a lowpass during your "Breakdown" you could of definitly used ALOT more effects on your instruments and synths. Such as the intro Piano. It would sound so much greater if it had revern, and a small delay. it sounds boring. Don't be afraid to add to much, but don't be add to little. A good song will always consist of Reverb and Delay. Especially on the synths themselves. It will give them a more unique feel, rather than have them without any reverb. And as for EQing goes, I doubt you did any. But you should really learn how to EQ and such. Just to boost those frequencies where they really need them. Like in your hats, your hi end synths. Also when you EQ you don't want to OVER EQ them. This will give it a muddy unclear sound. The Low end of your song could definitly use a boost.

Now for some final words, overall the song is good! But it COULD be alot better. Such as a shorter time length, more effects used. I really can't think of anything else to critise on this track. The overall sound was very uplifting, and had a nice tone to it. The kind of melody that makes me bob my head with a smile saying "Man thats one happy as melody" XD haha!

But great job on the tune man, I hope my review helps. If theres anything you need help with, don't be afraid to ask me on MSN. I will try my best to help where needed. Keep the songs coming, keep up the great work. Hope to hear more tracks from you soon. Take it easy man.

Hey, Clayface. Thanks for the long ass review, eh?! xD
I agree with everything. But the EQ, Compression and Reverb, i have only learned recentely. And i didn't bother changing the song.. i might some other time though.

The middle part WAS long haha, i was actually purposely trying to make the whole song long. And the intro was infact quite boring.. I sometimes like skipping it and just listening to the catchy melody.

The tips are help though. I didn't quite know where to use the compression, delay, EQ or reverb... Now i have a better idea of where to use them and im probably gonna follow you instruction on my next track.

Thanks a lot man, imma talk to you on msn, eh?

PS: Sorry for some bad english, Im a freakin Canadian that goes to a french school.

Uhh..

WHOO!!! YEAH!!!!

N3XUZ responds:

Mah gawd, that was beautiful. ;-;

Ye son.

Thats my voice, n***a.

Amazing.

I love how much emotion this piece has, right from the very start it caught my hears on how emotional and melodic it sounded. Great job on that one. I wouldnt mind maybe remixing this haha, (thats if i get your permission first though) But yeah, great track. But one think that you could definitly do to give it mroe realisim is changing up the velocity of the keys. That would really really make the piano piece sound more realistic. 30 minutes really? Thats real good man, just imagine what you could come up with if you worked on this for lets say, a few hours! :O Haha.

Keep up the great work. Lovin the piano song so much, so melodic and emotional. Sooooo... How about that remix? eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh? haha.

Btw if you can, maybe you could listen to my piano solos? and maybe reviw them too :3 (rEtarded) and (Fuck me hard) I think you might like them :3

Haha thanks :D
You can definitely make a remix if you want, and tell me when you upload it ^_^

Its alright.

I agree with the guy below me, it REALLY sounds way to computerized. In an instant i knew this was a generated piano. But if thats the sound you were aiming for you hit it dead on xD. But if your aiming for a more realistic sound, i say changing up the BPM every 4 bars or so. (Just by like 1 or 3). And also change the velocity of the notes, so you can make the softer sader parts sounds more sad. Cause it sounds very very robotized if its the same velocity note every time. If you dont get what i mean, take a listen to my latest piano solo (rEtarded) and my other solo too (Fuck me hard) And you'll get what i mean by changing the velocitsy and tempo.

But other than that, i think i heard some off notes in theres somwhere. In the chords. Fix that up, Add some reverb to it, and LOTS OF IT. it'll make the piece stick out a whoooole lot more. Trust me. haha.

Well thats all ir eally have to say. Keep up the work. Maybe review my piano solo too? :3

Calamaistr responds:

I already understood what was meant, i know that the strenght of a note matters but do understand that the exporting to mp3 with this piano (its a VERY heavy piano vst) takes ages so its not fun to rework on, ill give it some thought though. Because you're right when all keys are the same strenght it does sound computerised.

On the off notes needing a fix i must disagree, every note is as it should be, especially in the chords.

I dont know what you mean with reverb, do you mean that notes sound longer? If so then i also disagree on that, there is thought in each key's lenght.

Ill look at your piano solo, even though they have absurd names.

knock knock...

Who's there?
