Please check out my new track 'Take A Break' and post your comments here!
I know, I know, I know. Mastering is too quiet, hihats are too loud, the strings and the melody aren't in harmony, there's something wrong with the bass (when not listened to on headphones), the list goes on and on. But hey, I made it, I kinda like it, so here it is.
Made in FruityLoops Studio 9

This isn't all that bad... love the bass, drums are actually really good for standard FL drum hits (if I'm not mistaking).
I've heard a hell of a lot of tunes and half a hell of them were worse than this one.
You got your drum patterns right and those breaks really add to the flow.
If my first upload would have been this good I would have been very satisfied.
Your mastering needs a bit of work and you should pick non-standard drumhits instead.

Your first track (Void, right) wasn't that bad, a tad messy but nice synths & great tambourines

I manufactured the kick, the snare & the hihats miself by combining & tweaking several samples

I know. Uploaded an unencoded mp3, too; can't load the project in FL anymore, some samples went missing...
Thanks for listening & commenting.
To my deep regret I won't be making music anymore, I got a tinnitus (beeep) in my right ear.

I just realised you mean ALL of the tracks you've heard so far. At first I thought you only meant first uploads.
Thanks for the compliment

Take it easy, go low profile for a while, don't go to parties without ear protection.
compose at low volume It doens't have to be final.

Nice eerie pads in the intro.
Beats coming in: Kick sounds a bit too digital. Snare is snappy, but I think it could use a boost and maybe make it a bit punchier.
Nice melodies comin in.
Bassline is deep and warm, but too loud.
Good thing you made the snare a bit longer later on in the track.
