Best melody according to you, maybe. Little noobie producers these days don't understand the concept of artistic objectivity. FAIL

I completly agree with evolve here, this melody is completly generic. Sounds like something half the people here could pump out in a day or so. I could see SHM or axwell play this out I guess, but I think this sound will pass soon.

Constructive critisism shouldn't be taken personally.

This is a cool melody. Yes its generic but theres nothing wrong with that, its catchy.

I'd be very happy if someone compared my music SHM. I'd certainly take that as a compliment.

Nice track mate.

true dat dude. it shudnt be taken personally. It does seem to be generic to what has been popular. But I think that's more related to the style of music that he is making. It is good to broaden ur horizons to more diverse styles

We kinda already have an avicci, who i dislike anyway, as for the melody, well its a matter of opinion kiddo, its kinda clean, but i'm just so tired of this shit, honestly... And i'm presuming you want some kinda gain out of this since you're posting this to a forum, so i'll say this, Be original...


Posted by Lryso on Jun-06-2013 19:42:

I hate avicii. His set at ultra weekend 2 was very original but at the same time he took it too far and blended too genres that shud have never have happened.


Posted by DJKiDM on Jun-06-2013 20:20:

i dont really like avicii , but i like making this style of music . but all i said was this was my best melody this summer .

Well isn't this a controversial track! Haha

I will say that the melody follows a pattern that several other tracks have charted with in recent times. It may be so that it is similar to others, but they each made their respective authors plenty of money, so I wouldn't hate on it for that reason only. Look at Prydz for instance, he produced 'Call On Me' for a couple of studio compressors. He set up a record label off the back of it.

So down to the actual review & critique:
I don't think much of the melody but the instruments used to achieve it fit with the genre - you certainly can't fault that. However, the section I prefer is the arpeg that begins at roughly 0:33 and nicely complements the chord triplet motif. If you developed this a little further, maybe it would stand out from the tracks that others are complaining about. I can't say I enjoy the strings, they are a little too dry, but then I don't really like many samples of strings so maybe just ignore this. You could add more strings in to thicken them and it might also improve them, to my ear at least.

I would also say that you could increase the lengths of your reverb tails especially on your fill samples. The best example of this is at 1:04, when there are no high frequency harmonics to overpower it's tail and it becomes more obvious. I think your kick may be cutting slightly too much out of your mix. The bottom end sounds a little overpowering, on these headphones at least. (I have also been guilty of this, just listen to my old mix of Man with the Red Face that I never bothered retweaking )

At 2:16 there is a rising lead that I was half expecting to turn into a second melody which would have given some much-needed variation. Maybe an idea you could develop. Arrangement sounds good and, although this is not a genre I personally enjoy, I did appreciate listening to your track.

Remember people, we are supposed to be a community of producers providing objective and constructive feedback to each other, with the aim of improving one another's music.
