This...SUCKS!

After being review by my favorite artist on NG, (AloysiusRexford, check him out he's awesome) I'm finally starting to realize how bad the sounds in my music are. What makes it worse is that I can't go online and download ANYTHING. My computer has a total, yes TOTAL memory space, of 4 g.b. The number should speak for itself.

So as I sit here...typing out my frustration of the piece of crap I make music on...I can't help but wonder does it really matter if I find sounds outside of FL...?

Nevermind, that's a stupid question.

But then I have to ponder, for how long will my songs sound mediocre, or like crap, because of the fact that I can't venture out and get new sounds?

In that case will I ever really get better at making music? Because I honestly don't think so.

It's bad enough that I have to deal with the FL preset sounds for drums, (which drives me freakin' nuts) but it won't take long until everything I put out is PLAYED out because of the fact that I'll be using the same sounds over and over and over and over...

Man, I can't help but BE pissed off.

And you bet your anus that I am!

This...SUCKS!

listen, you can't please everyone here on newgrounds. As an artist that is deffenatly rule #1. I've had people i idolize tell me my music isn't as good as they'd like. You just go with what you need do take the good with the bad. Listen to critique. Don't get down on yourself. IF you want help with your music i'll be more then happy to help. Remember you can ALWAYS ask me my opinion!

Much luv!

I get pissed off all the time because i cant acatully find any good sounds.
Everything except drums are nearly impossible to find on the interwebz (well, they are for me)
But, yea. Thats why i havent submitted in a while. Im BORED of just about every sound there is in FL :|

I'm glad you feel the same.

I'm trying to work with the 3oscx and sytrus, and it's fun, frustrating, and weird all at the same time. I have to get used to making or creating my own songs instead of taking premade ones.

It's challenging, but worthwile all the same.

Oh, i feel like a big 'ol meanie now : (

Either or! your music isn't bad by any means, i would just really like to hear your melodies applied with different sounds! Non-presets! : P or more experimentation. Dont try to appease anyone but yourself though. As long as your happy with it. You can only get better.

Even using them you'll be gaining knowledge and always be learning. Believe me, i used the FL drum sets for evverrr before i started venturing out to other things. Eventually, you just have to. You should get an external hard drive!

Just remember, the more you work in the program the more you'll be able to apply yourself to when you can finally get some more space on that computer.

I hope you didnt take my words to horribly, im just trying to give constructive criticism! I only want to see you get better, and i see you have potential, which is why i stopped to give advice.

^___^ - keep making music. Save up that money, Or wait till Christmas rolls around : P

Aw, don't feel that way!

I'm not mad at my music in general or entirely. I just wish they could sound a bit more profess, but I know I'll grow better with time and gained experience. I just tend to be a bit...impatient at times. Especially when I have to deal with hindrances like my computer.

Once I get a job, I'm saving up for a laptop, among tons of other things I really want. And I'll get an external harddrive...one to use for my music.

So don't worry. You did just that, gave me cronstructive criticism. I needed it, and trust I'll use it.

Thanks man! =)
