Default Zheant, Just starting in here.

Welcome to this thread.

Hello i'm Zheant.

I have made this thread, so that I can post my songs and get comments and feedback. I'm almost new here in the music production forum.
I've made music for about a year now, but i don't think that i'm so good yet though. that's because i've made this thread, so that i could improve my music making skills, and also so that i could meet others in here. i hope that you will enjoy this thread .

This is a start: Download How Do I Say It.mp3.

Hey Zheant, listening to How Do I Say It~

I like the intro so far, nice synth choices- I think you've a bit too much gain in the track, the Piano is clipping in its solo part half way through. Nice drum work in the last section too.

The only thing this track lacks is variety, it basically repeats itself, but hey, nice work overall. You're off to a good start! Keep it up!

At :55, when just the piano is playing, there is very obvious clipping. It sounds fairly bad. At 1:23 it feels too busy, too much stuff going on and the volume levels are almost all the same so I don't know what I'm supposed to be concentrating on. Plus there's almost no bass....that depresses me ;-; The kick drum feels too basic as well. The ending was sort of non-existant as well.

I'd suggest lowering the supporting synth's volume greatly, it will help focus on the piano. You might want to try lowering the synth an octave as well, see if it makes it sound bad or better because you need bass. I'm guessing you used fruity loops (THE DEVIL) to make this, because the piano sounds like a bad preset due to the clipping. It sounds fine except for when it's alone, so you might want to completely change that part if you want to avoid it. I'd also put a reverb effect on it, to make it sound more full. Add some more diversity to the composition, everything is constantly repeating itself and it's a little too repetitive.

I know exactly how you feel, by the way...one year into my music, I felt like I had only slightly improved since I started and I hated everything I did. Once I got into 1 1/2, I suddenly just started to get it and vastly improved.

AND THEN FL STARTS CORRUPTING MY FILES.

Thanks to both of you DJMeas and Eshmasesh for your comments and your respond.
I do agree to you about the song i've maked. I have no bass, and it's pretty much the same through the song(a bad habit of mine.) I didn't really concentrate on the drums though (i've never been good on that point.) Thanks again for pointing it out.
I work with a demo of FL, so it's hard to change a song i've made earlyer, but it is possible.

You're saving songs with an FL Demo? I thought saving was completely disabled.

No i'm not able to save my work, but screenshots and remembering is a good start to simple make the same song again. This time i'll just make it different. I'm looking forward to when it's done ^^.
