Help need feedback now with new track

IS this worth finishing thanks

NEW ONE

Journey home richard wilson by Richard Wilson

to be brutaly honest mate , that tune doesnt suit that sound , i would keep everything but change the brutal lead melody , a plucky theme might be better ,

p.s , did you say you mastered your own tracks?

Posted by Sonic_c on Jun-13-2009 13:19:

yeah I master my own but this had had no mastering done this was a raw idea straight out of cubase. You want something mastered im not the best but I can do the whole normalize compress exite thing.

PS I want to use different sounds man !!!!!!!

I dont agree I just came home and had a listen to it again and its ok with all the bells and whistles it will be good tune.

is it me or you seem to have trouble finishing tracks?

try making a 3 minute track, that will force you to be direct and not go "should I finish this" @ 2 minutes

because in the end, its your call...not the people on the forum's call haha

and to be honest, work on the bass sound and a little on the lead (just talking about sound, not melody), this is not bad, you could keep working on it, nothing is ever perfect

No I can finish tracks i just wanted some preliminary feeds and have completely changed tune will update soon but its a really nice track now. Thanks

Something was lol I wonder if that reflected in the chords basically i just kept the skeleton and rebuilt the melodies etc. So not a remix as such more of a do-over but glad u like it. the first melody wasn't great.

sounds very nice, synths sound creamy
not a fan of the pattern of the guitar sample/synth, too simplistic for my taste
background chopped strings/pads are nice though
a tiny bit cheese, but that never hurt anyone

again during the climax the guitar sample kinda ruins it for me...but everything else sounds very good

theres some random volume drops in the track whats up with that.......lol jk

you should spice up the pattern and maybe put some delay/reverb that will make it stand out more

Posted by Sonic_c on Jun-15-2009 14:35:

Nah dude its just not to your taste its perfect the way it is its the first tune I have made that I am 100% happy with nothing needs to change. It does have delay and reverb on though

Yeah but is that not just pure TA sinisism?

All my producing life I have wanted to make a piece like that but didnt know how and didnt have the skills to find out how. So right now for the moment as a piece of art which is what tracks are so long as you dont produce them for profit which in 3 years I havent made any money so not expecting to make money from it this time. It is what I intended it to be. If I look away then change it it will loose something of its identity as an "of the moment" piece for me.

Once you paint a painting if after a month you realise you could have shaded a shadow better do you take it out the gallery and paint over? No, because it is what it is, and sometimes little imperfections or maybe just individual ways of doing things is what gives a piece its character.

I just thought for once instead of making something that I believe, for me, is perfect and then letting some people critisise it against their own tastes forgetting that art is subjective and changing it all round to suit several conflicting opinions on how it "should" sound. That this time I would just say loud and proud "I am happy with one of my productions"

LOL proper street corner rant should have started "come one come all I've a tale of art to tell ye all"
