I feel like the main synth never really went anywhere. It was actually a pretty darn good first song though. My first song was totally random and all over the place. This song has fairly good structure too. Just keep working at it, not too much I can tell you. Just takes practice. Cheers,

I lol'ed when I saw your avatar and name XD. Ah, didnt go anywhere? er, can I ask what you think I could do to make it go somewhere? call a cab? Lol, bad joke XD. thanks for your review and tips :D Also, I should fix where it says "This is my first song , where I attempt to actually use some sort of lead. " and remove the comma lol, people keep thinking this is my first song ;_;

Nothing wrong with any of the melodies and transitions those are all great, but the arpeggios are a little too much, and the kick doesnt really have any punch and if your boosting the bass at all in it then you should take that off for sure. If not you could cut some of the lows on it . Don't forget to compress compress compress!! It will help a lot. I listened to the song 3 times though, I like it. Cheers,

Thanks. I don't know alot about FL Studios so I don't know how to compress. But I'm gettin' used to it so hopefully I can compress the remix and make all the corrections neccessary. Thanks for the review!

so your life inspired a seven second clip that repeats that your black twice? you have to admit, that means nothing. not to mention its a very simple, undermastered melody and beat. and dont respond with no offense before you insult someone, because thats dumb. by the way no thug would go around saying hes so black. i give you props for making something thats not making my ears bleed and no way does this deserve a zero, but dont think of this as an insult. just keep workin at it.
i knew the white folks wouldn't understand. thanks for the encouragement but im just so goddamn black!

How did this get so many votes in a week? Automated system of getting song of the week. Not a fan of that. The song didnt have much going on. The melody was simple, and not very catchy. The transitions were blatant. Frankly im just jealous i didnt get song of the week. So good job on that.
Well, I think it is because it is dedicated to an online crew. Because there are so many people in it, they all went and listened to it. But, sadly enough, a LOT of anti-crew people voted 0 on this song. The crew isn't even a spam crew or anyting, it is just for fun and online compititons. Thanks for your review, and I was always jealous of those who got best of the week. But now... I GOT IT!! YEEHAAA!! But don't worry, just keep on trying and it will come to you.
(Also, the system does not add votes or anything to the song when it wins best of the week... I don't know why people think that.)

I think there's a couple of things here i can suggest. I would put a delay on that crash(at least for the first time its used). Also with a non typical(which is what i hear you were going for) beat of that style, you need a nice strong bassline behind the rest to give the song a 'full' feeling, or possible just a deep sine wave to shake them a little. The snare i think coulda used a little more punch, and the sidechaining should be turned up just a tad bit. Anyways those are my suggestions.
Cheers,

I don't wanna break the track with too much bass, but maybe I should put more sub around that area. The snare could use some more punch too I s'pose. Sidechaining seems fine to me.
Thanks for the review! :)

To be honest, it seems a lot like a drum n bass song stuck in a techno's bpm. The bass lines were all perfect to me. The intensity of the drums seemed to go up and down a little too much for me. Also it had a bit of a melody, but hugely felt like the melody was non existent, and without melody, its hard to be catchy, and addictive which is a common desire for music. The intro to the song was amazing in all aspects, but even with as much progression in technicalness of the song, It feels as though it went nowhere by the end. Anyways, can't wait for your third in the Control series.
Cheers,

Thanks for finding the name!
...

<3 Breed.

drill dnb is used too much. work on drum work. like creating ur own beats or finding different samples that are out there. maybe pump a better bassline too. the other parts were kinda cool though.
Yeah true. I dont know any place and/or I'm too lazy to get more samples.
Thanks for the review :D
