aye man wasup, im checkin out the local artists n came by to check ya trackz. I used to remix vocal trance songs to a form of underground breakbeats. I liked wat i heard, real clean & smooth. I produce hip hop now so kum by & check it out if you'd like. later.

Oh yeah, it isnt quite updated to the most recent but some of my newer stuff can be foudn on my site. http://d-s-e.no-ip.com/music-latest.html

Hey, thanks for the post ion. That is one of the goals I am striving for right now; to hide the 'fruity factor' in my songs. My more current unpublished works are getting closer and closer to what I would consider as good as FLoops can do but I doubt I'm right. The problem with FLoops is that the effects and several of the main instruments are somewhat low-grade and are easily recognized. Personal opinion: stick with what you think is best. You'll need to spend the time figuring out how to make FLoops sing without choking. If you're a little less patient ont he other hand, I'd recomend Sonar 4 if you can afford it. Quite nice software. I have heard Cubase is good as well but have nerver used it. I'd stay away from trying to use Eeason and Acid to compose music though. Acid is more for remixing and Reason is, well for me it was, too hard to use. I'm sure, if I had decided to spend time on it, I could have created some good sounds but the amount of crap you have to look at m

I also recognize the same attributes in my own music - FL is ever so apparent without a long and complicated mastering of each song - or another filter/ program to essentially build individual tracks and lay them out in a formatter of some sort( cakewalk/ reason/ even Acid) but these sounds weve made have taken a while to develop already so. I am A: thinking of leaving it all behind B: Thinking of getting some different hardware / Software.. And anyway youre sound and proggressions as it were are sonicly intruiguing . i like it thanks for posting youre sound ion

I noticed you because you're just below me on the trance charts. I listened to The Last Orchestra. It immediately appealed to me. I think it's a brilliant composition, and you've got some awsome chord progressions. The overall effect is dark, as you obiously were aiming for. Unfortunately, the oppression of Frooty Loops makes itself all too apparent later in the track. Like you said about one of your other songs, it seems to be "going nowhere." The melodies you've got really have depth, but there are no dynamics, no energy. It all sounds so flat. I'd suggest you get a true sequencer, and I know most of the ones people suggest run high in terms of price, like Reason, Logic, Cubase, Sonar, whatever. I know because I had that same problem. So I use basically a watered down version of Sonar (go to Cakewalk.com) called Home Studio XL. When I say watered down, however, I mean that minimally...it's almost as good, for less than half the price. I think Cakewalk is much better than Steinberg (t
