Please check out my new track 'PassDa J. - Megafonic' and post your comments here!!!
Yo guys what's up ...
This is my second song now, I had to make it in 1 time because there's something wrong with my FL4. I can't save my songs so it isn't quit finished ... but I can't finish it so it's a non-proper version of my never-gonna-get-finished song 
... too bad cause I enjoyed making it ... it took me 2hours to make it cause it was getting kinda late ...
I'm new in the d'n'b scene so I don't know how you can call this kind of d'n'b ... pro's will find it out for me
I didn't change much on the drum-line and I used alot of vocal-samples, I even mixed a few ...
Hope you enjoy it and please leave your comments here ...

can see where your going with this.. i do like the the background fx and synths plus the bassline... but the volume needs raising...
drums sound clean but are plain... need beefin up...
first try adding some low synths to the bassline... then u'l know where to go after that.. 
promising track
nice one

Those background sound's are fantastic! Bass is really good, love what you did with the bass at 2:09-2:37 
but it's way to low in the mix. Also at this part, lovin the way you placed your cymblz, nice and funky man 
. This track would really shine if you turned up that bass. Vocal's are great maybe loop the ass end of a vocal and apply some filter, just an idea. It will give a nice stutter effect. Nice work man, you obviously have some seriouse backbone in your producing. Like I said before when the track hit's
2:09
, turn up that bass and you have a heafty track on your hand's! Well done man. Cheers ++Stu Maggoo++

nice progress ma nigga.
finally found yourself how to make a decent bassdrum eh?
love the bass kickinjg in the background but it needs to come forward more
vocal samples nicely timed (but probably were timed before u used em)
the synth in the back has the same prob needs to be pushed out front
part from 1:55 to 2:32 i find rather uninspiring an boring
nice runnig hats
gettin' there nigga 7/10

Kick sounds a bit digital...
Bassline needs a boost, but it's not bad.
Overall this track lacks depth. There's little more than the atmos, beats, vocals and simple bassline. This makes it quite boring.

Thanks for all the reviews so far, I'm glad to hear some positive things ...
I know I still need allot of practice but I believe I'm getting there bit by bit ... It was the first time I used a bass in a song
know what I mean ... and I don't pay allot of attention to the levels .. and I still don't know allot of drum-lines so I need to listen more to other songs, that's why it's takin' me so long to produce another song, I want y'all to hear the progress ... I don't wonna stick to the same level .. I want to improve .. and if you compare my first song with this one I think there's allready a big difference
Revoldo Capuar was some low-budget producing man 
I've been listening to your songs since I got here and I must say I got allot of info from them ... they inspire me to make some cool shit as well
there are some really good producers here man ... aspecially the new ones are getting good and I must keep up !
Keep the reviews comin' ... thanks

Haha, man oh man I still need some more experience with FL, I don't know evereything and I'm planning to learn the Slicer now, heard you can do allot of thing with that one ... I think I'll start trying Reason when I know FL like the back of my hand ( workin' on it bit by bit )... thanks for the info though ...
Keep them reviews comin', maybe some pro-info from Techdiff would do me some good ...

yeah you should totally get reason. What's up man? Listening to your song. I really like the background synth noise. The drums are pretty cool but seem a little empty add a crash or a ride. Actually I take that back it works well with the bassline. The bassline is cool I would use that noise. Everything needs to be louder accept the drums. I liked the first bass riff a little better than the second one. Still cool though. I needs some more stuff happening arent there any saws in that program ? I haven't used it before. Reason has everything you need. The voice samples are cool. That really sucks you are using the demo that's got to be frustrating. It doen't have anything wrong with the elements of the track you know what it should sound like. So lets see some more work just start crankin it out! Again good effort from this corner.
COOL

Thanx bro, can't wait to here your new song ... It's been a while ago since you posted one here ... so that means it's gonna be a banger! I can tell ... 
About the volume of the bassline and the synth ... I know they should be louder, but I made the song with the headphones, if you listen to it like that actually evereything sounds good ... always had a small prob with the levels, gonna try workin' on that ...
Anyway thanks for the review, laterzzz

Props to yer second tune mate!
There's some good advice above so I'll keep it sweet.
After the first drop, it still kinda sounds like an intro. This may be due to the vocals, which are great, but look at the structure of your tune - to me it just kind of drifted indefinitely.
As your new to dnb, listen with your production ears to as much stuff as possible.
The track contains some great elements, but sometimes they mean more the less you hear them, if you catch my drift. Liked the hats.
Word of warning though - if your new to dnb and enjoy going to clubs, there is a line you will cross. One minute your dancing and loving it, you start producing, then you go out to clubs and find yourself at the back or in the bar, rubbing your chin thinking "that open hat just isn't doing it for me!"
Its a junglist's ruin!

This is not bad at all, I quite like the kick and the bass works really nice with it. Youve definately captured a vibe with this one but I does sound a bit empty still. the vocals do help this some what but there is still space for more.
There is definatly some good ideas in here, the intro works really nicely. the drop lacks impact but bringing up the bass up a bit and layering the drums would probably help this somewhat. It has got a nice roll to it though, I really do like the sub tone though, does need to be louder.
You really should have a look at the slicer and as long as youve got some decent loops to load up you'll have hours of fun, and this tune would really improve with some fatter beats after the drop.
I think sticking with Fruity would be a good idea, Its far more versatile than Reason, Ive been using it for years and I'm still finding new things and new techniques. But maybe a bit of experimentation isnt a bad idea but I personally found that Fruity suits me best. If you are gonna try other software then Logic is also worth a look, the sound quality is excelent and the built in synths are good too, especially the ES1. The main problem with FL is the lack of descent synths, theyre not bad but not great either, so it might be worth getting some nice VSTi's (If you havent already) like Absynth which is great for pads or the Pro 53 which is just a great sounding Analogue replica.
Regardless of that, keep at it because this tunes got some really nice stuff going on (The pads and the Sub) and with some more work on the drums and general ambiance would really shine.
One other thing, it needs to be longer or have some sort of change in it. 7 out of 10

Thanks allot Techdiff, I was waiting for a propper review from you ... 
I have allot of ideas in my head but it's not easy to put them out in a program, I still need allot of practice ... and yes you're right I'll stick to FL ... now that I allready know a few things ... Oh and you're right about the synths, it's hard to find a good one in Fruity but the Sytrus is pretty nice to mess around with ... anyway tx for the interesting review and congrats on your new tune ...
