You are getting better at it
The beat is at a right tempo. I like the minimal sound. You used effects to create your Wizkid atmosphere. At some points it sounds a bit blury, so I suggest you look up some mastering tuts.
Not bad for a first DnB attempt really.
Keep up the good work.

thanks dubba
pretty cool
The intro is pretty fun. The synthpads are cool aswell. I like the 8bit like rif that plays now and then. The melodies are creative and everything is layed out very well. Altho I wanna make some suggestions towards mastering and percussion.
The snare sounds pretty flat and too long. I suggest you cut it of a bit. Maybe add some high end and a little reeverb with lowcutoff. Stack the reeverb with your snare and it will sound much better.
The high hats sound pretty boring. Reorder the velocities to create as if it was played by an actual human. There is also a typical DnB rythm for high hats, I can't really explain that in words. its a moment before the second snare of a pattern that the high hat does a quick up and down.
I'd lower the volume on the " uuh " and add some delay to it to make it sound more spacey.
Anyway this is a very good song and indeed it sounds a bit pendulumish. Kudos on this track.

Melodic DnB Ftw
We have all been new at some point. And its the reviews that get us better. So here is my review. I'm giving some pointers on bass scince quarl already gave you hints on drums.
For DnB you can create bass trough various synths. IMy personal favorite is the 3osc. You use 3 different waves to get your bass, each wave is on a different frequence so you have low mid and high in your bass. And easy way to make a bass is to layer 3 squarewaves and add a little low. Layer your wave with a pure sinewave to give it extra bass.
When you master you can experiment with tools like FL chorus or Phaser. ( if you are a fruitylooper ).
The one thing you have to use is the parametric eq2 . Cut of a little low add a little mid and high. Then you can create an automation clip to increase or lower the filter from lowrange to midrange to highrange. Automate it over the timeline and you'll have your unique bass with unique reese.
The more sounds you create yourself the more unique your song will sound.
If you don't understand what I mean with the reese bass, listen to my latest song. I used one in that. Plus I might post a tutorial on youtube soon about it.

I dont use FL, but I think I get the point. Thanks for the tips!
Dear Mr.WAD
The sounds you create and mix so well together get me on the edge of my chair. This is absolute creative. Self Expression at it's finest.

I don't find this top 5 worthy
I am a big fan of DnB. This doesn't seem to entertain me at all. The bass is basic and the perc is mastered bad. It just doesn't sound right to me at all.
The rythms are pretty creative and vary a lot tho.
Not your best imo
The vocal part isn't as good as it used to be. I don't enjoy listening to your singing, like I do in your other songs.
The voice overpowers the music a tad too much. I can't almost hear the music because your voice was set too loud.
The lyrics don't seem as deep as they used to be, which I tought are a very important part of your music.
I like the volume envelope on the pianokeys.

8 months really ?
I feel sorry for you if you actually spend 8 months on this. It seems as if it could be made in 2 houres or less.
The review itself then.
The soundquality was pretty good. I found the synths relaxing and the percs were about right. The sub enhances the kick well. Drum Variation keeps it intresting.
The melody got boring after a while. It seems like you stack up the same chords and place em in a rythm. I would like to hear more variation.
Overall this is a decent track. The ambience was nice. And I would consider placing this under another genre. Sounds more hiphop then DnB to me.

Feel free to return the review. I just posted a track aswell :)
How many songs that have starfall in the title :)
I believe you need to work on different parts of the song. I'll start of by typing the things that I would like to hear different.
The melody is a bit boring because you use only low pitch notes. You don't seem to use more then two scales, so not a spectecular chord progression. Try adding a brighter synth and freshen it up a bit.
The percussion were basic fruitloops samples. Look on the web for better samples. The more samples you have, the more variation you will have in your music. Make a folder under documents :) name it samples and start of.
The percussion also seemed a bit boring. You used the same rythm over and over. Because you leave a lot of time between the different percs it sounds as seperate noices rather then fluid music. Add more in between and make it float.
I think you need to check on some tutorials and get to learn some music theory. When you bring up something new (considering this feedback) I'll be glad to review it again, so you can improve more.

Keep up the work.
Feel free to return the review. I just brought out a song aswell :p
Thanks for the review :) i have just got the XXL version of fl studio so i'll get some new packs soon :) And yea maybe i should see some turturials ;D
-photosyntesen!

Don't waste your money yet. Keep practicing in FL till you get better. I've worked in the demo for one and a half year.
