I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. It's a good start! It would be hard to make a good song using only audacity, so good work!

Hi James. I like your ideas behind this track and I look forward to hearing more of your future works.

I think there have been some very encouraging words and sound advice offered to you regarding the arrangement and mix of your tracks, which if you take on board, will help you massively as you continue with your art (I know it certainly helps me and I find the advice invaluable).

Good work and keep it going :-)

did you use loops for this? sounds like loops without pattern structure..

Great potential!!

The beat is out on alot of the song but once that is fixed up it'll be great!!

I reccommend investing in some better software aswell, it'll really come in handy in the future :)

ugh good intro but it is kinda messy

Yeah nice work in here once you pull it all together.

I see the potential in this

just focus a bit and tighten up what needs fixing and keep rolling.

nice start dude, dont get discouraged and keep working i iknow you will get it!

It's pretty good like the beat of it. It sounds like some beats don't belong in some points of the song. It feels overlapping in some parts of the song. I like the way you set it up. Nice job.

I have to be honest here... I almost didn't make it all the way to the end of this track. I'm curious as to what software you use, other then Audacity. In any case this track made me feel like i was experiencing the worst DJ set in the world!!! please fix the timing on the "loops" that you used. Also I recommend that you look for some torrents of sequencing software (or figure out the math to timing without sequencers). Furthermore, I agree with Bear... It is wonderful that you are starting out so young. I got started on production when I was about 16, all i had was Sound Forge. Which is a great sound manipulation software but not a sequencer, which means that at first all my sequencing was done in "copy paste" format.

Peace and Love

It looks like I'm late to the party. It also looks like this is one of your first songs and it is a pretty good start young Jedi. The timing issues will work themselves out.

Actually, there is a thing in music called "syncopation." A syncopation or syncopated rhythm is any rhythm that puts an emphasis on a beat, or a subdivision of a beat, that is not usually emphasized. A quick search on the Internet should get you a lot of information on syncopation and why it's cool to use in music.

The great thing about all of this is you are only 13, yet you are producing some pretty good music. Just keep at it. I started at the age of 5, and here I am, 53 years later and I'm finally starting to figure it all out (I majored in music and graduated from college with a music degree).

Congratulations on a good start here on the Loop. Just stay with it.

what an odd melody you used for the square wave starting this song out. very different. actually, this song seems to be full of things that sound and feel...off... but the kick and synth guitar tie it all together with a central theme. i won't comment on the off beat loops, apparently others have brought that your attention and you're addressing the issue. but i would recommend using a slicer for your loops if you have one. those are a quick and easy way to get your loops in time with everything else, as well as giving you many more options with your loops. there's a good song in there, man, you just need to refine your technique a bit. no worries, though, you've come to the right place to learn just how to do that=) keep working on it, man, you'll get there=)

gret tune- cant wait until the vocals hit this track

Has potential, could be a really awesome track, as others have said, just work on your timing, I had the same problem when I started making music! I love the main synth and the beat sounds Pitbull inspired, good work, keep trying & editing! :)

prtty good techno tune hear but you reely reely need to work with the beats..

Welcome to Looperman. Hey we all have to start somewhere. I'd Say Looperman would be a good site to do it. It sounds like you're off to a decent start. Just figure out your timing issues with the drum track. You might try to watch your audio levels for each instrument track. You don't want them too loud, that they are sounding distorted. If your mixing program has an audio level meter, see if the sound is going into the red for each individual track. You want to keep it from going into the red. That's what we call clipping. Without mastering it or using a limiter on the master track you may find it hard to prevent clipping entirely. But, hey just have fun with it. Read a lot and ask questions. I'm not an expert so I'm just giving you some of what I know. I hope to hear more from you in the near future.

Keep workin at it Lil Bro... just play with your DAW and tweak stuff here and there. First and foremost is you gotta figure out tempo and timing! The BPM refers to Beats per minute and thats the key you need to focus on...using matching BPMs or stretching/shrinking time/tempos on your DAW!

keep trying... practice helps...

It feels like you didn't stretch the loops/samples to your project tempo . Needs to be reworked . Good luck

Idk if its just me but a lot of stuff is off beat the hi hats are very sloppy and the way it just cuts out and totally changes was weird, but just keep practicing man try to get the drums to fit better I can tell it would be a great instrumental if everything blended better, practice practice, practice, and some day it will be perfect.. Keep workin at it.
