[DarkStyle]-Nightmare Rising

[Nix_Spark]

I got FL Studio 6 days ago, and went straight into creating something cool, this eventually turned into this.

It probably might need some more work doing to it, but I liked the outcome.

wait what?!?!?

Yeah, I was working on it for only 6 days, I still think I could have done better.

But, this was my first tune I've ever created.

For a first go, not so bad!

One thing I would say is that it sounds like all your synth sounds are from sytrus and really clean in comparison to your kick. I think that you could use with some more raunchy synths. Try putting them through hardcore or using a different synth or grabbing a free synth VSTi like synth1 or synlenth1 to get some more gritasticness going there.

Also, more percussion; if there was a snare it needs to be more present and have some heavily processed hi-hats or the like going on too, that'll keep things interesting and you can use those to make the song longer.

That riff was cool, but it got boring after awhile, try having a B section breakdown and then have it build up by dropping the kick or automating some sort of EQ that takes out the bass from the kick (parametric. high pass) until the kick is back to full force.

Also make sure the ending doesn't stop so suddenly.

GOOD! First attempt, better than my first attempt way back when i first got into music, it always amazes me to see the new talent that is up and coming. Just keep working at it and keep those suggestions in mind.

Thanks dude :3!

The Synth sounds are all made with 3xOsc (*LeGasp*) with some distortion and other effects.

I do have Sylenth1, but need to learn it more, (As seen in my WIP Never Down.)

Also, the riff is good, but IMO, I think i used it too much, and yeah probably should have broke it down in the end, instead of it just cutting off.

I will take the suggestions, and probably tweak it sometime :3. (If i'm not working on Never Down.)

Thanks! -Nix
