pretty cool 8) - I'd give 7/10.
He put on a turn-down collar, a black bow, and wore his Sunday tail-coat. As such, he looked spruce, and what his clothes would not do, his instinct for making the most of his good looks would.

BTW, does that bassline have anything to do with the melody Thom Yorke sings "I will eat you alive" at the end of Where I end/you begin? They sound vaguely similar.

chem, basically the whole song of come home is clipping. When you're in fruityloops, look at the peak meter. notice how the whole time it's in the red? This is baaddd. Adjust your channels so you aren't clipping. ....get new drums.... :D

It's not so bad EBW -- I've heard WAY worse!

i dunno but that's the way i like.you have mentioned that earlier too EBW that my tracks are clipping.but just like the big bad noise..the louder the better, but then again this is not the correct way of making tracks.i will in future keep that in mind

IT'S HERE!!!!!
whatever you do, whether downloading or streaming it plz turn it up really loud.i mean lounder than usual. When i made these 2 tracks i crancked up the volume to highest level and then made it. It's totally clipping but i really don't care.

There's a difference between loud music and audio that is clipping. When something clips you loose waveform information. Imagine a sin wave in a box, if the amplitude got to large the crest and troughs would no longer inside the box and you would have a curve and then flat.
Just to give you an idea of how bad it is, here is an example of a good recording (Asleep from today - Chemical brothers)
here is 'come home'
and your star guitar mix

Yikes, this would be cool if it weren't for the blow-out effect. EBW has a point there, the visualization he provided really puts it into perspective.
This is definitely salvageable, and would sound great but it needs some fine tuning - For starters, turn down the master volume! You can still keep the master volume levels high, just don't keep them in the "red."
The clipping is also linked to the CPU's - check them too and play around. I think Fruity Loops has a help section, and I'm sure it can explain better what you need to do to avoid this clipping.
I know you're excited but there's really no mad rush to get this out. Take your sweet time and make this song a perfect homage to the Bros.

you know why though.that's coz every track i make is big. Big in sense of the bass , the drums, the kick,hard synths everything big and over the top. That's what excites me, i know no other way. I will create a perfect track someday...my best is yet to come.

Compressor would be a very good idea ... I often use a limiter (which is something of a compressor too as far as I know) for my master track to keep things from clipping at that stage. I can still make invidual tracks in my mix clip if I put the volume too loud, but it doesn't sound as bad as plain clipping.
And it's useful to remember that we don't perceive loudness as peaks but rather as averages of the sound. So my advice is experimentation with compressors, but I'm no expert either.

Yea your trying to make every sound BIG You gotta think about what you want to stand out and then make everything else support that. Of couse you might want different sounds to stand out at certain points of the song so some eq automation would be a good idea. Dont forget clipping occurs when you overload certain frequency ranges so you have cut frequencys here and there when two or more instruments occupy the same freq range. Oh and i have seen pro tracks nearly as compressed as chemical reactions in fact i think that the comparison was'nt really a fair one as asleep from day is'nt really a heavy track is it but i must admit that there is definetly a case of over comping going on in the track i've been there my self you have to learn to restrain your self and not to make every sound big and stand out you know dont make the sound's compete with each other by being to busy make the sounds support each other you just need to work on it and it will happen :)

Thanks for the help guys. I never turley cared about the peak meter while using Fruity Loops. My main faocus remained sound(not just sound but big trippy sound with even bigger beats), If you got a really nice loop going then you can make a whole track out of it by adding effects and doing something crazy and over the top. I am not happy with anything less. If the sound is not trippy/loud/annoying/beautiful it's not worth it. I am not saying this is correct but that's way i like it. Anyways thanks a lot about telling me such basic thing as clipping. I have long way to go -> but other than that did you guys like the tracks ? esp. the forum ( that's my baby, my fav. song ever.hehe)

I used to have the problem of making my tracks not loud enough. I try to stay away from effects untill I am satisfied with the original sound/loop.
