This one starts out VERY dark and heavy. . . and gets seriously fucked up at 1:30. I didn't like that trippiness at first, but it just gets too intense by 3:00 to not enjoy. VERY cool.

thanks, I made a lot of samples with my microphone: drumming with my hands on my computer...
I made one of the beats with my mouth. and some other weird things. Then I put a lot of effects to those samples and then I started making the song...

i think a nice big phat kik in V.9 would do wonders. the jump into the drums threw me a bit. nice track though!

Hmm maybe I should buy a microphone. . . is it easy to record and save the files to WAV format to use in programs like Fruity Loops?

Can't you use microphones just to record directly to WAV format?

collecting avi's is quite nice! only critique i have is to expand on that little pause about 3/4 thru.
maybe turn it into a bridge or something, coz it quite piqued me interest!
fuhk with the voice sample more[the way you started to at the end > it gets rather tediuous repeating through like that]

D00d looks like I had better buy a microphone. . . how much are they? I plan on buying the cheapest one available.
And anyway I've been running out of samples to use on Fruity Loops . . . and I'm too lazy to buy one of those sample cd's, because I might not like what they've got.
What better way than to make my own samples?

For making samples I just use whatever lies on my desk at that moment. And then I add a lot of FX to that...
Ehm I've got one of those crappy microphones that came a long free with my computer. You just have to mix the sounds the right way and then even the worse recordings sound nice

And you can use samples from actual published songs, right?? Well that's sorta illegal unless you get artist's permission, but. . . yanno.
FX, as in the Effects options of Fruity Loops?

Hehe yah the cool thing about electronica is that ordinary people like you and me can make awesome music that rivals much of the published material. . .
Because, unlike all other genres, it's easy to start making electronic music, and it's easy to make music just as good as the profression electronic musicians do.
The catch is though, is that it's HARD to make GOOD electronic music, and it takes a long time. . .

I also play in 3 different bands... one hard rock band one experimental ambient rock band (no drums, very unique), and a funk/lounge band..
In all these bands I play the guitar and I sing some songs..
I've been playing guitar for 9 years. And a year ago I started making electronic music...

for me, it was just putting loops together at first, after that I really started making music with fruity loops but it sucked... I wasn't aware of the electronic elements yet. But after months and months of creating new things I finally discovered how to do it. I'm still learning a lot.
But I know the basics now and I'm adding my own style to it..

Like, I'm talking over 10 hours of work for one 5 minute song. . . it just takes alot of work, hard work maybe, but the reason I say it's easy is because it's easy to learn how to make electronic music, and the actual process of making electronic music is quite easy.

i disagree
id like to hear your work.
are you signed to a label?
do you have a massive fan base?
you are being quiet cocky.
in addition, you are patronizing the talent that goes into electronic music

I think what deathsmith means is: Not just anybody can pick up drumsticks and play this great rythm before they even had experience.
However with electronic music, it's a bit more simple to make a good tune. I remember making this awsome tune when I first started making electronic music.
But it's still the song that does it. It's really hard to make a song be good.
I think anyone can be able to make a good tune or two. It's just the trick to keep on making these tunes cooler and cooler and put them together and make a song out of it...
