i could literally just fuck around with a synth putting random notes in random places and it would sound just like this
so no

no you couldn't.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;36146008]no you couldn't.[/QUOTE]
yes i really could; the drum beat is practically the same this whole time and if you just put compound triplets under it as a melody, then hit keys at random moments (in time), it would sound like this.

there isn't a theme in the music also
I honestly don't understand the appeal in this type of music. It has no feeling behind it. It's just empty.
It's like imitation shit. Why is "dirty" so trendy these days. It's just an excuse to be lazy.
This is kinda bad but I like electro house
Mostly electro by itself but yeah, electro music in general.
I kinda like it, but Facepunch is being internet hipsters again.
I don't think people should be rating you dumb for different opinions
This just isn't really my type of music and I can't get in to it/ understand it
Sorry.
Didn't like it.
Sounded all over the place like Dubstep. :suicide:
This type of music is always based around a short catchy melody that is mixed, repeated, warped or whatever.
Unfortunately this is just random electro-house-sounding noise. It needs a heart behind it.
I kinda like this type of music, but as others said, this was kinda plain. Needs more soul
[QUOTE=Villein;36146402]You're using that word. I don't think you know what it means.[/QUOTE]
Oh yes I do, and maybe not in this thread, but Facepunch, as much as I like it, is the biggest bunch of internet hipsters I have seen. I mean sure, not hipsters as in part of the hipster fashion thing, but FPers usually reject memes that become widespread and popular on the non-nerdy parts of the internet, hate mainstream music, bandwagon against the biggest blockbuster video games (sure, it's not undeserved, but bandwagoning is bandwagoning), perceive themselves as having finer tastes than the masses, and overall tend to act rather snobbish about nerdy things. So yeah, internet hipsters. Or anti-hipsters, rather. The perfect opposite of hipsters, but do the same shit.
Hey so I'd just like to say I am in deep love with music. I liked this song, it had a lot of energy. Also I hear a lot of people talk about music, COMPLAIN about how it will be/has been popularized by some classification of people which makes it not cool, meanwhile they are the people putting them in that catagory to begin with.
Whenever I hear a song, if I like it I like it. I also notice that music drives peoples emotions, and I use it often as a tool for work (bartender).
too much wub

I am a musician and you are extremely wrong. Actually, you are pretty ignorant when it comes to reading about this kind of stuff before you post.
Electro is just as hard to produce as other genres.
The fact that as an electro producer you have to:
1. lay out samples in layers accordingly
2. eq some of them if not all
3. set up mixer tracks for stuff, sometimes routing it accordingly, so you can easily automate more stuff at once and be efficient
4. add VST's, and learn to program sounds. you don't just mash buttons and get a sound.
5. have understanding of keys, notes and also have a sense of frequencies. you can't just place any type of sounds anywhere, they have to compliment eachother
(most electro house songs have 20+ synths in a track, each one having its parametres, modulations, automations, pitch control)
6. be creative, nobody is gonna randomly bash the keyboard and get anything close to sounds in the video.
I can't stress sound creation enough. It is extremely hard, if you're doing all of your sounds :)
I like a few songs, but they have to have a progressive beat to it and it's gotta not sound like a bunch of extra tracks added in just 'cause.

i said "like" it, not exactly it. i am also a musician (studied music theory for about 3 years, i've also helped in the recording of some albums) and it's not hard to make a simple drum beat, lay down some chords on top of that, maybe a break, and have a catchy bassline. what you said does not necessarily make a song good; sure you can put effort into it, but will it sound better than something that no effort was put into? the effort that goes into a piece of music does not matter, it's what comes out that does matter.
I think it's pretty damn good
A little bit poor quality but I like it, even though electro isn't my main genre
I mean I like house... but I don't like this.
I like stuff like daft punk, but i dont see this is really that good.
This is really bad electro house.
it's not bad but it's really disjointed
i skipped every two minutes or so and it changes so drastically, makes the whole thing feel like there's no sense of progression or connection, so it feels like there's no point
just a bunch of random sounds thrown together. but some of the melodies are p cool
I like it. You should just keep producing, and probably not ask facepunch if it's good, you'll only be meet with disapprove.

look you may be a musician, but you obviously haven't tried making electronic music, otherwise you'd realise that what this post says is so fucking stupid it hurts.
It's not so much the composing as it is the fiddling with settings to get the EXACT sound you want.

I don't understand
It's ok, but you need some structure. In particular, there are a couple places where you have the same note persisting with what sounds like random breaks in it. If there isn't any kind of melody, it just sounds soulless. Additionally, progression is important. Building up and paying off a climax will make your song way more interesting to listen to.
Keep trying, man.
