You got your basics good, but:

it sounds too much like it's made with presets.

Get down and dirty with mastering/EQing and FX(distortion/delay/reverb/panning) to add your own flavor to the sound and make it more interesting.

Try to create your own sounds, I don't know which DAW you're using, but look up tutorials on the web on how to create your own sounds from scratch.

There are LOADS of tutorials on Youtube.

A few tips on drums:

Sample drum breaks
Stack your drums (example: your snare will consist of a layer of 2 snares + 1 clap, etc.)
EQ them
Distortion
Lil' reverb
Whatever sounds good! Try it.


And yeah keep listening to a LOT of music

Great for elevators. Bad for anything that people may want to listen to.

I like it.

It could use a little more depth, but other than that it is actually pretty good. Are you using fruityloops?

If your karma could go any lower, I'd keep clicking. Not only did you insult mr. Buckley, who is dead, by calling him a "faggot", but you're also wrong about me making a thread about him.

You are three kinds of fail.

haha the reason why you have my karma so low is because we got into an argument in a thread about 4chan... Do you remember that, you were the sick fuck who was basically defending child porn on the internet and I was the guy trying to beat it though your head that you're just a creep.

I feel bad for that guys family but its not like the world suffered some huge loss when he decided to go swimming with his boots on....

Also, heres the thread you made that you're now trying to deny:

OP is probably loving the free bumps...
