As far as arrangement goes, I can't fault you. It all flows nicely!

If I may suggest something, the kick drum sounds very generic. For that specific drum-loop you got going there, how bout trying out a few hip-hop style kickdrums?

If you want, I can email you a few

Yip it's is very generic actually

...it's one of the hip hop default samples that comes with FL. Long story short, all my samples were on my brother's pc, and it was taking forever to load across the network, so I decided I would just use the standard samples.

But I'm always looking for new samples, so please send away! My email address is below. Thanks man.

Dude! That's really good! Bit rate sucks though. What did you use to make that whistly bit?

I'll be interested in this, I'll give it a listen when I get home and tell you what I think

Not a bad track at all Ark!

So when can we expect a 'mastered' version?

Nice stuff dude!! Just listened to it now

Im not 100% sure though, I dont think its "true" hardstyle in a sense. When I say true hardstyle, I've only really listened to more heavy stuff like DJ Prophet, Duro, Beholder & Balistics etc

Really nice work though, awesome pumping track!!

I remade "Dreams Will Fade" last night. This version is faster and harder.

Keep at is Spicy-McHaggis. Practice makes perfect!

Been a guitarist and vocalist for too many years to mention. If you’re trying for SA markets then don’t bother. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it’s an uphill battle in SA for musicians. We just don’t have the consumer numbers of overseas.

If you’re playing just to express yourself, then go for it. You never know.

Its amazing how much a woman ripping your heart out can change the way you produce music. I'm always producing Anthem and Dutch Trance and recently started messing with Hardstyle, but this is different. This project took about two weeks and I finished it last night.

Have a listen, tell me what you think. Also, could somebody please tell me what style of music this is?

To be honest with you, there are no good freeware sequencers. If you already have a sequencer (FL Studio, Sony ACID, Sonar, etc), then I can point you to some good freeware VST instruments

For a start, check out http://www.dontcrack.com/freeware/

Ok, I've lost the opening theme to FFVII, but I have done something else with my new toy

Falken - Beyond Time

**This track is unmastered, so just excuse if it makes your headphones distort

I know this thread has been around for a while but if the dude who wanted to know where to post his music is still part of this thread, then go to a site called sectionz.com. u can create your own artists page and put all your nusic there. Other people can download and review your stuff and you can do the same. Give it a try!
