No.  m is my brother.  He has his own account here, but doesn't get on too often.  (He's @ college ATM.)

Has m got an artist page or something showcasing his compositions? I'd like to hear some more of what he's done.

Critique

• Practically every single instrument is a preset in FL studio.
• The track is seriously lacking in depth, it needs either some background synths or chords, or more percussion.
• Unnessacary volume contrast in the beginning with a really rough synth is annoying
• Repetative, only a single idea, with insturment changes and almost nothing else
• SHORT! This might count as a song idea, but not really as a full song.
• Needs more variation!!!11!!!1!!1!
  
• The drumloop needs more variation too
• Songs that fade out instead of ending are generally looked down on. I don't particularly care, myself, but largely it should be avoided.
• The beat is very hard to follow and the song keeps trying to reinvent itself, which is a problem. Without a bassline or something to run on, the listener gets lost

I'm rather harsh with critique, but I do try to give constructive criticism. :P

True.. sorry, I forgot you could post Gen Disc stuff in art; I got it confused and thought it had to be FS related.  Thx.  :)

thanks for the advice blackhole... I already told myself all that, and I'm just starting using FL, so it's a little hard for me to put what i want on a song

and I like your techno btw
