ok so did you play the track?

man 80 views and no feedback

Too repetitive Some nice sounds later in the track, but, many do not fit. The best part I would say is the breakdown. Everything leading to it, just doesn't sound right to me. Out of key? Wrong Sounds... I don't know. I think the bassline needs to change. Some of the panning is good with the hi-hats but, it lacking a bit, in the mix. Some of the sounds you choose can very well work, but, it seems you just need more practice. No hard feelings- its just my opinion.

none taken i like my track the build up was ment to be diverse and strange as the hole point was to make the track moody and weird as possible i have a techno influence hence the repetitive parts in the track. thanks for the time dude

I'd cut it down a little bit, if it's that repetitive no way can it be almost 10 minutes. You have to either sacrifice some length or there needs to be more progression and change in the track.

yeah when the track is finished i will round it off some more.but it was made to be that way so did you like the track?

that was weird, those vocal samples are crazy. at some parts it sounds like some weird goa and then there's like a trancey element to it and...

it was weird.

haha yep i like to mix things up it was a personal track really. ive been using fl and man its hard work to get a tight production out of it. but i like my shit and with some minor changes to it it will be a good tune

The two most oft-quoted and despised new-producer responses to criticism:

That's the sound I was going for.
No shit, if it wasn't the sound you wanted then you would have made a different sound. This is the musical equivalent of "it's not a bug, it's a feature!"

It's got a few rough edges, I just need to put on the finishing touches and then it'll be awesome. (Alternate version: It just needs to be mastered.)
I know you put in a lot of effort, but those little finishing touches are about 50% of the total work, for a typical production by an experienced producer. Those of us who actually know what we're talking about do not really appreciate these things being brushed off as spit-polishing.


I don't want to be rude, because I don't see you being defensive per se, but you're also not listening to people, and that is the whole point of posting your track and asking for unbiased feedback. We already know that YOU like your own track! What matters here is how other people are reacting to it.

I'm sorry to say that the track is repetitive, discordant, and generally aimless, and you won't learn anything if you rationalize this by writing it off as "diverse and strange." The track is also muddy and in some parts shrill, and you won't improve if you brush that aside as just needing a little "rounding out."

A good tune needs at least a few elements, which you haven't provided here:
- An original hook or groove that listeners won't mind hearing several times over;
- A general musical direction, that will make listeners want to find out what happens next, so to speak. This applies to both individual elements and the overall structure.
- Smooth transitions (or very strategically placed sharp ones), in order to give some cohesion to different elements.
- A particular style that defines your sound. This is a less tangible but still critical quality, and you can't achieve it by throwing everything but the kitchen sink into the same track.

That's all I have to say in reply - take it or leave it.

"An original hook."

I Lol'd.

I am just a noob at producing but, from an inexperienced producers ear, I would have to agree with the above comments. I would suggest cleaning out the lower range sounds, especially if you are after a more tech feel. It seems to lack some identity in terms of style and it may be improved by going either a bit more techy with more layers of sparse rhythmic synth sounds/loops, or more progressive with better defined hooks that develop at least in timbre. It could be improved with more variations - something new happening at least every 8 or 16 bars.

Digi Nut may have come off abrasive but it's the truth. We have all been there. You've been working your ass off and you're ready to share your first track with your peers and hoping for a good response to validate your work and it doesn't come.

It's only a small let down. It should open your eyes slightly. You may not understand what they are saying so the best piece of advice is look at one/some of the inspirations of your style you're trying to create in the track and listen and see differences between your track and theirs. It will come. Just keep plugging. You'll get there.
