This is the first time I've ever tried making an electronic track with vocals, so don't know how good it is. : P

Also, I don't really know what genre it is. It was originally supposed to be dubstep, but it doesn't really have any "drop" or "wubbing", so it doesn't quite fit.

Also, this song is supposed to be based around "Fallout Equestria" by Kkat; its supposed to be a glitched audio message from someone witnessing the last minutes of Equestria before the megaspells go off.

I think the drums need to be a little louder. Nice job with the vocals, I usually hate my voice. Yours sounds pretty good. what did you use for the robotic voice? it sounds kind of like FLs vocoder, but I'm not sure. I like some of the rhythmic stuff going on with the triplets. Sometimes your vocals are covered up by everything else going on, I'm not sure if that was intentional though. I like this little lead interlude thing. Ooh! Piano! You have more respect from me. I'm not a fan of white noise, which seems to be present a lot, but that's a preference. Not bad.

Hot. Damn. You made this in LMMS is what astonishes to me
Like what Chrome said, definitely bring out the kicks & drums. The song is really all over the place, it seems to be one thing during one point in the song and another after about two minutes. Personally, I find it a little annoying because I was really digging the first 'drop'. I think I went downhill from there productionwise, but you're on the right track. You just have a little remastering to do.

The robotic voice at the beginning is actually Google Translate ran through the Audacity Delay
Decay: 0.01
Delay: 0.1
Pitch Change: 0.00
Echoes: 30

For the robotic voice (while singing), I just recorded my normal singing voice, levelled it, then used the Audacity GSnap Plugin set to A minor with the "Not So" preset. Then I ran it though a Notch Filter and the mda Detune plugin.
I make all my music using only free stuff, so anything I do can be duplicated without buying anything.

Thanks; as I said, I only use free stuff, so I try to be the best I can at it to make up for the gap in abilities.
I'll keep in mind that the drums and kicks have to be louder (for some reason, when I exported from Audacity, the vocals got a ton louder than they were when I was mixing them).

This is only the first time I've tried adding vocals to any of my songs, so I'll keep everything you said in mind for any future attempts.

This is pretty good. But, the mixing is poor. I used to use LMMS, and I know that you're at a slight disadvantage for mixing because of how basic the plugins seem to be, but there are parts where your vocals are overpowered, and the drums just seem to sit behind the entire mix. The vocals seem to be very uneven and need some work, the mix is muddy but there are some parts where the mix gets really muddy. And then everything was going fine until 2.52 where the snares kick in. They sorta jump into the mix unexpectedly, and then the entire thing just drops. The breakdown that follows is just lifeless, and the high lead during the breakdown doesn't seem to follow a pattern, it seems like you just laid down the notes and left it there.

overall it's pretty good though, just needs some work with mixing and a bit of composition

[Alycs]

Yeah, the vocals got a ton louder and overpowering after I exported from Audacity. I'm thinking in the future I'm going to make them a lot softer and work them up as I go and try to figure out whats going on.

Thanks for telling me, though. I knew that this attempt was probably going to have quite a few problems being my first try.
