Well... Here's an attempt at a Porter-style feelsy wall of sound... I'm actually pretty happy with it.
So what do you guys think of this now?
Really good stuff, although the part that's in the first one sounds more porter like since he doesn't usually use portamento on his leads, but he does love that bell-like sound for them. So if if you're going for exact porter I would switch that up, but it sounds fine if you're not going for that. The same kind of goes for the kick, although I would have to mess around with it in FL and stuff to tell you what's really "wrong" with it and I'm super busy this week, so I can't, sorry

Oh it can't be that bad... I think it's actually worse in FL 12 though, lol.
Don't you have to completely change the layout of FL to do it?

I mainly only mix on these.
ATH-M50x They are cheap and somewhat flat?
I plan on getting these though if I manage to solve my room's acoustic treatments:
Yamaha HS7, very flat and they look nice.
just gonna throw this in
Not to diss on Hinkik's comment, but doooon't get the ath m50's for mixing. they're great headphones for casual listening etc. but their frequency response ins't neeeearly flat. Like not at all. Someone I know has a pair, and when I came from listening on studio headphones to those they almost blew my brains out. Hecka bass. I mean it's possible to get a good mix on the headphones, but it's very hard. It takes a lot of referencing and stuff and even then there will always be certain frequencies and intricacies that you're going to miss because of the headphones' design.
There are a couple other options for that price range that are a lot better for monitoring. I personally got the Brainwavz HM5's, which are about the same price in most places. You can also get a copy of them, the NVX Xpt 100's for $100 which is a pretty great deal. Also they're a lot more comfortable than the m50's so they're great for long sessions at your computer 
.
If you're looking for monitor headphones they're often called either just that or "reference headphones. Those are the ones with the flat frequency response you'll need.
When you get studio it's an eye opener. After I got used to them and learned to pick up on detail better, I looked at my old mixes and was just ;_;

No one answers back on my tracks. Just tells me I still have a lot of work to do lol.
Ouch
Anyway congrats Hinkick, 100 subs in a day is pretty great stuff. Not to brag but i've experienced some pretty similar stuff. One time I got two subscribers in two days, but you know, no big deal. Not making it a competition or anything *sniff*.

Gonna change my alias soon. This one is not only crappy, but really hard to make a logo for. I already have a name in mind, but i won't reveal until the logo and everything are done :3
After that planning on finally putting some music out (didn't want to under this bad name with no logo.

MUST. NOT. DO. A. FANGIRL. SCREAM.
I can make you one but it will be simple like mine if that's okay. Text and background image but with some sick font that has some effects on it and the BG color graded.
Oh man that block button looks so tempting. You should be a diva and press it. 
Obviously kidding. Congrats man (even though I admittedly don't know who that is :x)

Oh yeah, Grabbitz submitted this song to deadmau5 like 2 months ago. I totally forgot that they would be finishing it lol
And if you nail the mixing of that song and mastering and such, I think it's going to be pretty good. It has that mid tempo with a mix of minimal in it. I like it XD
Awesome, i'm glad to hear that since that's pretty much exactly what i was going for

I have indeed heard of it.
BTW, you must have that track privated or something, cuz I can't listen to it... Instead of just copying the URL, you have to go to the track and click share, then get the share-able link.
oh right I forgot I had to do that lol
Hopefully that works
Also deadmau5 released a new song tease thing feat. Grabbitz. Didn't know the guy had such a good voice.

I think it's about time we share some artists/songs! 
Here's a dude I discovered just a few weeks ago via Twitch... Second Flight! He only has around 300 followers on Soundcloud, so nothing big yet (no offence to any of us ), but just listen to this beauty...
It's right up there with the likes of Laszlo, Au5, Volant, or whatever other big melodic dubstep/electro/glitch hop artists out there, IMO. It's just full of joy and great little details. It's always moving, always changing... The true sign of mastery, I think.
So yeah, I'm really looking forward to more of his stuff. What are some of you guys' favorite artists/songs that the rest of us might not have heard of?
Pretty good stuff. He did remind me a lot of Volant, but not as complex as his stuff. Idk i you've ever seen screenshots of hist porject files, but...
...yeah. Pretty complex.
Also though i would mention how weird it is to hear Volant be mentioned beside someone like AU5. Been following him since like 5k subs on soundcloud under his first alias, maybe less. And he was on my radar months before that. Sorry just had to let the hipster in me out for a little.
But yeah, all the "unknown" artists I follow are actually pretty big these days, and you guys probably already know them. So this is the only guy can think to post. Discovered him very recently when I "lost" to him in a remix contest like 2 weeks ago:

I liked that song Chaos.
Felt like calling some crappy people nearby me in life out today and verbally crushing their skulls beneath my boot, for being the soulless backstabbers they are.
A good thing I suppose, since it inspired me to try and finish up the master on that track I'm going to send to that label as an attempt to calm down. So here it is:
Can post a screenshot of the project file if you guys want as well.
It's nice but it's very empty. So here is some points I came up with
1. Use the whole frequency band 20-20k.
2. More saturation on the basses could work wonders. Also some better waveforms for the basses would be nice. Kinda sounds like those synths that try to mimmick guitar sounds right now.
3. It's also a bit long for an electro track. Arrangement is very important.
4. Decrease the highs in the percussion but only in the side EQ not mid EQ. They will be sharp on some setups.
6. Maybe a longer tail on the snare? Right now it sounds like: thump ds thump ds. Its mostly style and preference but I think it should be more: thump dossss thump dosss
7. Could actually get some more brickwall
@Chaos ehh whateva just gibe the stems then xD
I really like where you're going with this. It's got some great ideas and sounds. But it really needs to be condensed, IMO. 8 minutes is a really long time to listen to one chord progression, or any electro song really. Looking at a song you really like and trying to somewhat copy its arrangement can really help. Also, I agree with Hinkik, it needs more stuff going on to fill in the empty frequencies. An arpeggiator can fill out some tonal stuff, and some white noise could give the highs more presence.
So do any of you guys like heavy dubstep? Cuz I do.
So I tried making some.
Took me like two and a half hours... ;_;
So 'm pretty sure most of these things come down to my mastering, which is bollocks because this is only the second track I've ever really tried to master properly.Going to do some more research on that and try and fix it up before I submit.
Also I won't change the arrangement, though I might make a Radio Edit. I've done the intro, break, build, drop, bridge, build, drop, outro thing waaaaaay too many times, and am really bored of it at this point. I don't get any statisfaction rom making songs that way anymore it's much too formulaic.
Oh also it's not a snare at all, it's a snap/clap, and I like my claps very short
Also matrix that was a great sample. Kick is a little lost in the mix but since it's just a short hing you're doing doesn't really mater i guess lol
Also also: started working on a new track yesterday. Must've spent about half an hour, maybe more getting a good chord progression down. Started to build the song up for at least2 and a half hours. Clicked save annnnd...
My first ever corrupt file.
On the best chord progression I've ever made. Actually having trouble listening to music with similar elements now because it's "triggering" me.

Ah, I can see that being a problem. I encounter stuff like that all the time where one sound drowns out everything. It's a pain to fix lol. This arrangement doesn't actually look all that unorganized to me. I mean on mine I just threw stuff down into the mix where ever I saw room XD
lol a lot of people do that. i just don't because it gets frustrating to me to try and find the thing I'm trying to change. Even when I do organize I still end up spending way too much time trying to find stuff sue to big project size :s

You don't want the bell sounds or the awesome rain sample of awesome?
Thanks. I actually turned off all of the compression and EQ on the master channel for that song. I don't want to give out a free song just yet. I sent it into sunsetmelodies to see if they could possibly master it for me or something.
As for your track I think it has a nice arrangement, but I can't help but think that there is something missing. I want to say it's the reverb, but I'm not a pro at this kind of thing. You can post a shot of the project file if you would like to. I actually enjoy seeing how other people organize there music... because I don't organize mine at all. I don't know if you can tell by the screenshot I took of my song
Hmm I did use reverb, but very lightly and in small rooms because that way the bass from the synths don't drop out that much. Oh well. That's the prolem with trying to review pretty much any audio/song. Very little definite stuff you can point fingers at as "wrong". But thanks, means a lot. Will let you guys know if it does happen
Oh and here's the screenshot. It's actually a prettyy old song, so the way I organized is a little outdated lol.

Nah it was a thread asking about whether anybody on the subreddit was able to compose good music without knowing theory. I guess they think so.
But eh, it's kinda fun to lurk around on there.
I did replace the link with the final version, but I doubt anybody will be looking through that thread any more...
On another note, I made some future bass!
Oh that's definitely possible. Idk if you know who twitch is (figure you might since you're a brony) but he makes some really great stuff for someone with no instrumental or theoretical knowledge. It's still a great thing to know though. Did you post your song as an example of as much then?
And the furture bass is nice, but could use some more bass(that's kind of important, lol). I can hear that it's there for sure, but there's kind of disconnect between your main kick and the sub. Sound like your main kick ends around 50ish hrz and your sub is at 20-30. Makes them sound like two completely separate entities instead of a nice conjoined one.
also chaos, since you love worlds so much, I'm guessing you heard his Nero remix right? I only ask because I want the opportunity to talk about how absolutely incredible it is.

I think I've heard of him before... But yeah, I don't really know any theory...
I don't know about needing more bass... Maybe I need better speakers, but it sounds to me like about the right amount... And a lot of future bass I've listened to is actually very bass light... We'll see, though, Maybe I'll change my mind later on.
Well... RIP that project... Messed around with the project pitch and the whole thing crashed...
Ah well, now would be a good time to upgrade to FL Studio 12... Anyways, here's the last export I did... Pretty much the same, but whatevs. It's a shame, I liked where this one was going.
https://soundcloud.com/scootrix/fyoocher-base-2
I have heard of him. It's pretty gosh dang XD I don't know if you've heard this, but one of the artists I follow made a song inspired from Worlds https://soundcloud.com/pra2music/worlds-is-amazing I'm sure you can hear the similarities
I couldn't tell if you're talking about twitch or the Nero remix, so i'm gonna link to both. Also linking so you can confirm whether or not you know Twitch, Matrix. Also also because both are really amazing and I want to share them as much as possible. Mainly that last one tbh.
Twitch:
The Porter Remix (aka Musical Viagra):
https://soundcloud.com/porter-robinson/nero-the-thrill-porter-robinson-remix
Also I do hear the similarities, to worlds in that song for sure, though there are some production issues that stop it from quite matching up. These guys do a better job of recreating the style. Though they're working from stuff porter actually created so it's only really the production they've done better.

Finally done with this song.
Name is cheesy I know but I think it fits.
That was pretty good. I liked the music, but i wll have to agree the name is a little cheesy
Congrats on 500 followers btw. Don't know how long you've been over that threshold, but congrats anyway.
Also here's a thing I'm planning to submit to balloon party. I don't know if you guys know what that is or not. Matrix might.
Anyway, I've had it kicking around my drive for a couple months now, but they don't need to know that eed to mix and master before it in, and I'm kind of dreading that. It's my biggest file with about 60 tracks. I don't even know how may instruments. 20-30 maybe? I think the most I have going at once is 18.
So yeah that should be fun >.>

@Chime (**Prounoncing it like chaiym)
Well the lenght shouldn't be more than 5 min in an electro house song tbh. I meant putting in more breakdowns into what you already have right now. Define the different parts of the song clearer 
This is just preference but your song is kinda holding the same emotion trough the whole song. I like to shift the emotion and feel of the song through the different parts of it. But still keeping it to like max 5 melodies. Repetition with different feels are very powerful.
Expressing different emotions in songs are mainly done through fundamentally switching instruments (go from hard lead to pluck for instance). Most often, the drop's main melody is teased in the breakdown (today it's most often in the buildup but you get it) but with a completely different feel in Electro House.
You gaijin, you... (that reminds me though, I really have to get working on making a new alias...)
And eh, I don't limit my songs to a certain except under 10 minutes usually. I'm sure if you looked through even wolfgang and deadmau5' stuff alone you'd find electro songs over 5 min (I use those two because they're kind of the kings of old school electro house). Heck Strobe is over 10 minutes long which is generally unheard of in electronic music. Song length is of the things I worry about least when I make music. I usually make the whole thing and only really check the time when I'm done. That way I don't limit my creative process. I can always cut bits out if I really feel it's too long or think it's too repetitive. Turning a long song into a short one is pretty easier. The other way around not so much. Also i kind of had a trap breakdown thing going on for emotion changes, but i cut it out before I uploaded because i'm still not sure I like it and it's pretty rough.
Anyway speaking of Strobe, I was demonstrating to my mom today why I respect deadmau5' music but not martin garrix's, which involved listening to this:
It got me thinking. I think you can tll you've made a great track when you can play it with pretty much any instrument, or combination of instruments and still retain the same beauty and emotion with it.
And in case you're wodering this is what I was comparing it to...
Strobe would be a pretty high level piano piece. Animals is like grade 2 or 3 tops
Why lol. Is it because joke accounts always upload really short stuff?
Oh hey, I don't know if you guys have heard of this kid called Gate, but his music is amazing so check him out yo
I specifically like these two songs because he changes the flow at the beginning so smoothly.
http://soundcloud.com/will-mccarthy/gate-the-last-stand
http://soundcloud.com/will-mccarthy/alcubierre
Those were really nice design wise. Didn't quite catch me aurally, although the second one came much closer to do so.

There's a bit of off-key stuff in the beginning, but other than that it sounds pretty good. I'm not really a fan of more big-roomy stuff though. :/
Time stamps? :s
1) Hmm honestly, it's too weak for me, I suggest some layering and more highs. Get more whitenoise in the leads. Everything could use some more punch. The drums, the synths and the percs. Maybe put some limiter through the drum buss. Also layer some post 5k wide synths with the main synth. The track is quite narrow.
2) At 2:25, is that a drop? If it is, maybe make it a little clearer with some sweeps and do some highpass animations. Also I think some SmartE distortion would do wonders on that bass, but seperate it from the sub.
3) I also guess you don't have anything on the master buss? It's not very compressed. Since it's a WIP, that's ok.
4)Maybe take a look at the arrangement also. It's a little too fluid right now. More breakdowns! xD
5) Other than that, it's a fine unique piece of a track 
1) Yeah I can see what you mean. It is still pretty early on in the track though (pretty sure I haven't even put 10 hours in yet) = and that's the kind of stuff I usually work out nearer to the end these days. Also the kick is a total dick and won't work with me :s
2) I is and it isn't? It's a drop, but I buuilt it first, and everything before it came as a seperate process, so the joining of the two if very rough (thus none of the riser techniques).
3) Nope. The only two things I put on my bus before mastering for any song is parametric eq and DFX monomaker, and both of those are just checking tools.
4) lol there's still a lot of track left for me to make so dw about that My average track length is probably like 8 minutes so... lol
5) Thank you very much
That's so weird. People still manage to submit music to me lol. I'll take a look at it though
I really like the chords. The song is lacking presence, but I feel it's potential XD
Thanks
Will just sneak this in hear:
I don't know if any of you like Spor (he released anew album couple months ago that really got me into him) but he released a remix I thought was pretty sick.:
