[FL Tune / Percussion TUT]

Good Tutorial

I've tried it, and attempted to copy the leads and bass wich did well, only my problem was that you kept switching that black square under the close button in the piano roll, I did managed to copy them no problem though, but it could be an problem for the newbies. You could better tell them to put the square to the most far up side or down (depends were you were ofcourse.)
The other problem is your detuned arp, you said it was an default FL studio arp only detuned, well I couldn't find it... :P So I used Z3ta+ for it (also an problem for the beginners.)
And at the last part of the tutorial, I tottaly lost it, (Vub1_BASS_EfEm_C2) I had that one already from the VEC samples, but at that part in the tutorial, I didn't understand it anymore. (mayby because I am from Holland... I don't know) Because when I did the same like you, the music totally did sound horrible. those were too long basses it just F***ed it all up for me.

The good sides of it:
-You've made an downloadable sample pack!!! I've never seen anyone doing that!
Big plus for that! ;D It's great for the beginners who don't have VEC samples.
-The tutorial itself was most self-explanatory, but you've also putted information in on how and to do it.
-You've added sound fragments on how it should hear, really great for those who did misunderstand anything.
-Nice overall looking tutorial, everything was to be seen, not just down-sized images, no it was all full screen. ( wich actually was realy easy to follow everything, I just needed to zoom-in sometimes though. :))

Well it may sound that there are more down-sizes, but that's not true!
It's an well divined tutorial, wich is really great to use for beginners!
I just couldn't think about more up, but there were certainly many more.

Hope you understand my review, and doesn't gets to much pissed of by it. :P

Good luck on further progress, and ofcourse with your music also, I love it! ;)

Well, I was going to mention that you would need to change a small setting in the basses sound properties so that it loops when it's down on a key. The Bass in the sample pack has the setting saved into it. I'll pm you showing you what I mean through a screen shot. I guess I should have mentioned it >.< Well anyway that'll help you as I tell you. I'll re upload it soon with the new info and more detailed explanations.

And no I'm not pissed by your review. It gives me a proper understanding of what people think and if there's anything needing to be fixed. The detuned saw was in the Plugin Presets > Generators > Sytrus > Synth String > Detuned Saw.
Hope that helps. Yea also I could have made the overall size of the flash a bit bigger.

Owww that thing. The black square I didn't understand you but now I do. It just zooms in and out of the piano roll. But I don't really use it. I use the hotkey Ctrl+Scroll up/down.

Thanks for the review Unrealdark, appreciate it :D

-Cheers Brando

I'll add the thing about the bass in the description.

[The Ultimate Steal Quiz]

All I can say is WOW! :)

short notice, just wanted to say you did a good job. ;) so here's the 10/10 5/5 :)
really nice game, hopefully it will not attract people robbing a bank though, specially those kids like 12 and lower. xD

GravityChaser responds:

Thank you for the comment, glad you liked it :)

[~Mouse Maze~]

Good maze though.

good maze, but you could use ActionScripting for moving objects that could kill you, and in this maze game you could cheat by right clicking, and all the other things to cheat. but nonetheless it's quite worked out good I think.
Could use some improvements here and there, also for another example: another background would fit in nice, the white one is quite boring. and make the maze a little more drawn better next time.
anyways, you get an 6 from me and a 4.
