How would that even be a sane rule, let alone fair?

By the by, welcome to the anti-Communist Malex Media Network!

I must ask, however, what your username means. It looks like your picture is of a Dance-Dance Revolution Pad, but that doesn't really expplain anything.

As for your music, I would readily listen to it and offer my opinion, but I'm using my bedroom computer, which has a white list on the Internet connection, restricting me to our server. I'll have to do it later on the livingroom computer.

Ooh!

Here's a clickable link for the lazy among us. ;)

I'm really liking this! There are several moments that really capture my attention as I listen. (And I keep listening over and over.) :-D

--> I like when the bass first comes in. (starts during second 19) The rhythm is very compelling.

--> I like the closed hat / shaker thing. (starts at second 33) It really fills in the percussion.

--> I like the foreign-sounding lead that kicks in at 5 seconds.

--> I'm also a big fan of the creepy/spacey FX and pads. They really give the whole thing a soundtrack vibe.

I'm assuming that the track isn't yet finished? (The ending is a bit abrupt, and it seems like it could use some mastering...) It's a great start nontheless.

You know, a big source of info, critique, and advise for me when I was getting started was TastyFresh - The Christian Electronic Dance Music Community. :-D I know it sounds a little bit weird, but it's for real. If you run your track by them, they might be able to give you more opinions. (Assuming, of course, that's what you want.)

Okay, I need to be sleeping right now, so I'll ttyl!

Your Song

Oh, wow. I love it! And mine is, I think, an incredibly narrow range of tastes.

Question: Is the title of the song "Rendered", or is that just the filename?

Cool...new music

I love your single <3 :-* :-D !!

Also, I recently discovered DDR but I only know one person who has it :-(( Whenever I see her, we play it, but I wish I had it too. My birthday is in two weeks, but I don't think anyone will buy it for me (and I'm totally broke :-(( ). Oh well

Hiya, Go Fly Girl. Glad your on the site!

I listened to your song. I'm not very musically gifted so I can't give you a breakdown like Malex did, but let me say this; if you had/have an album out I'll buy it! And I'm not kidding.

(To give you an idea of what that means: I own only a handful of CDs and am very frugal with my money.) :-D ;-)

Yeah, I can tell you're really into that game. We just have ...Extreme, I think. I don't like the game.

"Plus I even run my DDR website/fourm/community." -again, Go Fly Girl

Yeah, I saw that while looking at "Rendered". That clock thing at the home page is really weird...

Rendered

While I don't generally listen to ambient techno, "Rendered" was pretty decent for a first track. I remember my first tracks (the first year was the worst) were no where near as good. Ugh... the memories.

ACID is loop-based, right? Did you make the loops yourself?

I have a synth, its kinda new and I am working on figuring it out ^^

Synths

The best way to figure out how a synth works is to take a patch, strip it down to the oscillators, and try to make your own version of it. Also, I would highly recommend buying The Dance Music Manual. It has about 500 pages on everything you need to know about making your own tracks, including how to make awesome synth patches.X-D

What synth are you using btw?

Synth

I have a WK-3000 by Casio, i don't know if you could call it a hard-core KB synth 0_0 but the one i REALLY want (and might buy as soon as i get the $$$) Is right Here It looks SOOOO schweet

(I like KB synths, are they the best? I am still new at this XD)

Whether a synth has a keyboard or not makes no difference in the quality. It just depends on your style... and whether you can play proficiently.;-)

You should also look into the Access Virus series. I want an Virus C myself - it's been used in many trance records throughout the years. Tiesto actually published his Virus C soundbank.:-D

Wowsa...

Go Fly, these are both flipping amazing. I normally don't listen to much electronic music (MaLeX, 2 Unlimited, and Celldweller are notable exceptions), but I find this amazing. Unfortunately, my computer has virtually no capacity to generate bass, and so I cannot enjoy this music in it's intended glory.

BTW I'm sorry I haven't signed up for your site yet. Forgive me.
