:o but Badspot probably has better things to do.. To be honest I'd love for that to happen, positively absolutely love for that to happen--but I don't know if it will. And if it doesn't I'd feel kind of silly, hah.
But yeah, that would be pretty awesome. If you see this, Badspot, and I haven't contacted you, feel completely free to do so. :3

Ok you GET OUT!
Its not stealing in anyway.

Yes it is. This coming from someone who studies licensing laws, this is stealing music.

Welp, let's see. I think what hurt your ears was that synth I used with a very low amount of attack time, making it nearly click. That can be annoying to some people but some others do like it more than a standard synth. The wrenches would actually be classified as hats, believe it or not. :P
I'd add more flavor, yeah, but now that it's in a loop all I'm motivated to do is make a whole new thing, possibly like this.

=P
I got FL $400 off, sometime in late May of 2008.
But--as for your new song. You did some weird things, involving the following:
-Combining synths and samples
-Using a very high-pitched "lead"
-Had no percussion
-Had no buildup
-Had no ending
-Had only two "instruments"

It's sort of like the add-on "policy." Don't post your first stuff, make sure you're good and then see how the forums like it. Possibly even run it by a friend before posting.
I don't know if you're getting better or what because I have yet to hear something other than that one song that isn't made with loops, so once you make something new (and try doing what I suggested haha) be sure to tell me/post it. I would like to hear your newer stuff.

Also, Draco wtf. You "meh'd" my song and now you're all like "I wouldn't really know either way if it has to do about music soooo.."
Ah, whatever. Haha. stuff happens.

You can do that with FL Studio but FL Studio has more capabilities, haha. I mean, Garageband isn't bad,  but it's not professional stuff, you know what I mean?

Also, you should get a MIDI keyboard if you get professional software, eventually.

Well what program do YOU use to compose?

FL Studio XXL Producer Edition. :o

..It's $600 on average, depends on what you get and when.

Ape=/=furry :U
But, literally, an ape. The characters were:
A ferret with dentures that was an assassin, a flamingo with a huge sniper rifle called Shanaynay, and a mole who was a detective.
It was a weird story.

In my new Language Arts class, we did a story on a transvestite ape with a leopard-skin speedo, named Kris.

..Don't ask.

I find composing more creative, but remixing is fun as well. :P (it's just my opinion, don't worry bro.)

It's good, but it just doesn't really fit Blockland until about a minute or so into it.

Hmm.. Could you explain how I could have it fit Blockland..?

Erm, still.. Music has to flow. What you made had no flow, sorry. Flow is when all of the notes actually sound correct together, for example, in trance, you'd take the first note from the lead, on each two beats and use that for the bassline. That makes it flow well, because the bass keeps the percussion and lead tied together like a string, see what I'm saying? You seemed to have picked nice sounds but they didn't fit together at all.

If you try FL Studio, Logic, Reason, or Ableton Live, try out what I'm talking about. Start with a basic pattern of notes then edit that pattern with different instruments and add in percussion. You should also try looking up some tutorials on percussion/composing. :D

Yes but did you actually compose these or did you take pre-made loops and slosh them together?
Because, after listening to Test 4, it has practically no buildup--but a lot of very complex sound. What intrigues me is you would have went through the trouble to change your sounds multiple times for such a short and simple song. Do explain.
Edit: Also, that 8-bit song isn't  8-bit. It would be classified as electronica.

Edit2: The percussion on speed is a bunch of hats mangled together and a snare. What is this I don't even

Oh, right sure I'll get a newgrounds account :D

You do know that you have to go through a song approval before you can upload, right?
Also, I just listened to In Unison We Will Walk.
Here's what I think's odd with it:
1. None of the guitar really flows together. I'm tempted to say you just used pre-made loops, but I'm trusting you. :S
2. You opened with percussion, and your percussion didn't go anywhere. For a song that quick with that many guitars, you need a kick and a snare.
On to the next ones :U
