Check out these tunes at my site: web.utk.edu/~pfox1 and click on music. All songs are in Real Audio format. Tell me what you think, I need some feedback before I send demos off to producers.

I stand by my RealOne Player god damnit! Another reason I chose Real Audio is space constraint. As far as spyware is concerned... remove it, get spybot S&D and it'll find it all and get it off. I do believe they have 3rd party RA players, but RealOne always worked for me.

Chill out dude...
I've seen way too many problems with Realplayer, if you want to save some space, use Ogg Vorbis with a variable bitrate... at least they know what open source is
(No offence meant)

Hmmm, never really used Ogg Vorbis before but I'll look into it.

Check Yo Step - At the first moment I thought it would be high quality track. Those pads deluded me
My ear tells me u used Copy & Paste Technology ® in beat production - that's a major fault!
Moonlight Sonata - damn you. You can make some really nice pads! But this track is as far a jungle tune as it could be a reggae tune if you changed the beat.
Mrs. Renfro - slasa? I like salsa. Nice tune. Hey. Really nice. Add some more BASS and it will be a hit : ) BTW. I'm recently into this kind of dnb also (as producer and listener)
Negativity - weak beat. My opinion is NEGATIVE. Quite like the MC tho.
Surival of The Fittest - I heard this pad somewhere. Hmm... Pasted... Minus. And I don't like the rest.
The Calm Before The Storm - crappy intro
but there's some idea in it. heeeeey. good break! uhm. quite uplifting tune. like the breakdown and that something what happens after it : ) overall - you made a good production based on some easy chord progression but it's ok. it's in fact your best tune up to date.
The Ebb and Flow of Time - like this genre but this track is quite weak. I like the chords on the electric piano tho vey much. Hmm... This track just lacks of some main theme, some more prominent instrument.
My opinion is - some your track's are ok but hold on for a moment before hitting majors.

Wow, finally got a really critical response to my tracks. Even though you're a bit harsh, I appreciate it, I'm really sick of hearing "No, that's dope, don't change anything"
Check Yo Step is not finished, the next remix will be more.... correct. It was more or less an experiment, and yes it was a copy paste experiment
Moonlight Sonota was only made for me to show off my musical skill, I actually played that piano line, there is no piano line for moonlight sonota in 4/4 time, the original is 6/8.
Negativity is weak? WEAK?! Really? Huh. Just out of curiosity, where are you from? Here in Knoxville, TN in the states, we take what we can get for MC's, Bader rocks and you may hear more from him, as well as Ill Shaman, another MC I got a track coming out with. It was made to be more hip-hoppy with a touch of jungle drums. I more or less made it to show all the hip-hop people how it's only 1 step away from DnB.
Survival of the Fittest - I ought to tell people that I made that beat for a contest at www.acidbreakplus.com and I was only limited to about 1MB of samples of their choice. The pad you heard is Aphrodite btw, it was in the sample pack but I heard his tune later.
The Ebb and Flow of Time - same as Check Yo Step, an early experiment. There will be a much fuller remix of this one coming out.
Thanks a lot for the really critical feedback, like I always say if people keep telling me that my tracks are ready and they're not, then I won't get anywhere.

Hey Pfo,
A word about Negativity. I don't understimate abilities of your MC - he's good. I just don't like break and bassline. Too calm and heh... don't have real power.
As for me - I'm from Warsaw, Poland. You can check my tracks at http://www.kyokpae.prv.pl - Jah Gimme Power is the latest one. Ah. And have in mind I'm not in the polish 1-st league..... yet
BTW. I'm also making a cross-genre track in the near future. Dnb will meet h-h once again and you'll be welcomed to comment our efforts : )
greetings!

Hey man, is this all you (at your page)? This is awesome! Two thumbs up for originality and creativity. Some of this stuff I've never even heard tunes like before (Milonga Del Mar). Is that a real guitar in there? And the rest of the synths really capture the feal, never thought I'd hear French sounding DnB. What kind of gear do you use?

There are no live instruments there... still. Guitar is made upon some Reason sampler patch. Speaking about gear - there's no gear except my PC. Soft - SoundForge6, FruityLoopsStudio4 and Reason2.
