Pretty nice song! Oh and hey, what do you mean by "playing for a concert?" Did you play the song like a DJ, or did you actually learn to play it on instruments? I want to hear more xd

Lumiflag responds:

Ty for the nice comment ^^

I performed it with a Novation Launchpad (and FL in Performance Mode) and the other half accompanied me w/ some piano. He played live the piano ostinato you hear during 90% of the song

[Icefield]

I like this Waterflame collab era

[Bass Antics]

I'm a sucker for chiptune, complextro and bass. So naturally I love the song

[Metallic Madness BF Cover (2022)]

I have tried using Caustic before. Respect for making something that actually sounds decent in it lol

[Upcoda - square kid]

Really good, both technically and opinion... ally... if you know what I mean

HeSmusic responds:

I think I get the idea lol, thx!

[Bass Antics (Demo)]

I had a period where I was only using FL 12 for some reason lol
It was fun for a while, but then the bugs and compatibility issues got annoying so I returned

[ColBreakz - Blocked]

I know that it is intentional, but the clipping is at this weird mid range where it's not subtle, nor overwhelming. And that makes it sound unintentional

It's a really good song otherwise, but the clipping does make it sound weird

ColBreakz responds:

Blocked 🚫 You gave me 4 stars and a half instead of 5

(I saw your post about telling you how you can improve, so I will be really picky xd)

So first I wanted to say that I have no knowledge of Bandlab, but the stuff I'll say applies to every DAW. The song starts alright, aside from the bass, which doesn't quite match the chords. I have no idea how much you know about music theory, but in simple terms: The bass sometimes sounds weird

At 22 seconds, something called clipping happens. Clipping is a thing in electronic music that happens when the audio gets too loud. It's the "crunchy" sound you hear on the louder notes. (if you really want to learn about this, search it up on youtube.) Every advanced composer does their best to avoid this, and you can too by just making the song a little quieter!

At 28 seconds, when the new instrument comes in, it doesn't sound right. It's probably because some notes aren't in the scale of the song. If you don't know what a scale is, it's a group of notes that sound good together. There are 2 main types of scales - major and minor. It's not always like this, but major scales sound happy and minor scales sound sad. If your melody is made up of notes from one singular scale, it will probably sound solid. Maybe there's a function in Bandlab that highlights a scale?

And for the rest of the song, those two problems just repeat. So here's how you can improve - try to avoid clipping (again, search it up on youtube) and learn the very basics of music theory. But just the basics. You could spend years and years learning full theory lol

Oke thx 🙏

Ich verstehe den Namen xd
