nice beats man, i make beats too i just aint had no time to upload etc

The only real knock i can say is that they're too repetitive. For example on the 2nd song, you need to get away from constantly using that stab. All I keep hearing is *crash crash* *crash crash*. It's OK to just let that bass line ride with the strings, kind of mellow the sound out then constantly using a crash with is generally what you use to transition between how tension instead of over and over.

Other than that, you have a great sound and you obviously know what you're doing.

Do you have any songs you composed entirely? Or do they all contain samples?

I haven't seen a sampled beat all the way through myself but I've been thinking about it more and more lately.

Thanks for the feedback my dude. The crashes in that song are actually in the sample except for one layered over it in the chorus. I have a lot of songs composed by me, but sampling is my main thing.

Here's a couple I did:

Ya it's a real sharp kick. It's actually the kick and the hat. I sampled it from Thursday - Signals Over The Air. I use FL Studio 7.

Man, bro I have such a long list of really hot songs I want to sample but I'm just too lazy to get into sampling.

I use FL too but it's FL5

. I've been getting very bored with it lately. Especially cause I just purchased a nice keyboard/controller that has something like 700 instruments and 300 drum sets. I'm going to start taking piano lessons very soon, and I think that'll open up LOTS of options for me. Plus making a song will be a lot more fun since it isn't point and click.

I've also been thinking about getting Reason a lot.

You can use Reason and Fruity Loops together. People say the stock sounds in Reason are a lot better, but I sample my own **** or use plugins anyways.
