New MIKE-like track - Please Review

Heyy all!

I have a new track online and was after any relevant feedback possible.

It's quite MIKE/Armin-ish, but please let me no your thoughts and any possible improvements i could make.

WHITE SPACE

Regards

I quite like this, the lead is good and the strings work well with it. Nice bassline as well although it might benefit from a second 'sub bass' bass layer. Don't like the synth that comes in around 3:15. The perucusions are ok but the kick is way to quiet and gets lost with all the other instruments. Don't like the 'clap,' sounds more like a snare in fact, and doesn't work well.

Overall nice track, keep 'em coming.

It has a lot of potential. Its good and all... Just nothing too exciting. I think u should play around with it more to get the song structured better.

its good stuff
not really mike style but i see how u think it is...
i think you should work on the beets a little, add more hihats maybe
and maybe change the kick, just test different ones,
and can i ask what u made it on?
if its reason maybe i can remix it?

let me know, thanx

thanks guys for your feedback so far!

Gingi, i actually use fruity loops. what is your best track, I'll check it out and let you know whether im keen for a remix...

i can't hear very loudy, but it sounds fruity...
i don't like the main synth used for melody that comes at 2:20. I like the fx in the track.
and i don't think this is mike style.
keep going, you are on the good way!

Definitely an impressive FL track. I've been working with FL for about a year now and haven't ever been able to create a track quite as polished sounding as White Space. Good work.

I'd have to agree with some of the others though in regard to playing with the kick a bit (I know the kicks in FL are weak) and maybe some hat work, but overall it's really good. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind posting the actual Loop file (.flp) at some point so I could try and pick up a few tricks that I've been missing...Thanks.

Greenfoot,

Thanks for checking out my track. It's taken me a little over 2 years to have learnt what I know of Fruity.
Im also a Sound Engineer, so from I learnt a great deal with that.

Im sorry to say though that Im quite secure about the way I do my tracks. So I dont fancy giving anyone my recipe book if you know what I mean!

Cheers again though man

A nice result using fruity there.

I really can't say too much about this track. It is one of those track that if it came on in a club you would listen to it but it wouldn't want to make me get up and dance.

I still like it though...good effort...

Darrax...

the percs are good + mike-ish, the idea is mike-ish, but the production is fairly weak and mostly soubds like a ts404 has been used for everything, try some other synths, potential is there

nice tune
I'd make the bd a bit punchier, maybe layer with a 909 or something.
overall, good job
