Umm I would download the pack, except that it just links to a jpg. (You may want to sort that out.)

Also C++ and AVS are not the same.
For AVS tutorials please have a look here.
For C++ I would suggest having a look here.

Okay I've had a look through now :)

The first thing that I noticed was the very small or non-existent reaction to music, which is kinda the point of AVS. (getspec() and getosc() are your friends :))

Quite a few empty black background, generally that's not cool.

Colour work is okay. You avoided mindlessly scrolling through the rainbow and the over done psychedelic look.

The stand out preset of the pack for me is Cool2, if you made that actually react to music then it would be quite good.

You seem to have good knowledge of how to layout a preset, all you really need to learn is how to do the coding.

Your installer need some work as well, you only need to include the ape's etc that don't come with Winamp as standard that you use.
/checks pack
Yeah you only need to include that picture of you with your presets as the other bitmaps are standard too.
Also make the installer check where the person has installed there Winamp, not everyone has in it C:\program files\winamp ;)

thanks for the comments man ,
i am reading through the things u post there , on the way learning to code , this is my 1st pack so i don't know much bout codings so i decide only use very simple dm which i know to do all the presets , and the superscopes are all actually from the samples with a bit changes on them , i am quite confused with the getosc thing , btw why is the primer by atero cannot be download ?:cry:

deviantart likes to lose peoples old work.
PAK-9's tutorial is good.

getosc(band,width,channel)
= returns waveform data centered at 'band', (0..1), sampled 'width' (0..1) wide.
'channel' can be: 0=center, 1=left, 2=right. return value is (-1..1)

So to make a simple oscilloscope with a superscope the code would be:
[Point]
x=i*2-1;
y=getosc(i,0,0);

Click the expression help button and have a read through.
