Wink I'm trying to make music!!

Hey guys,

while I'm relatively new to these forums, I've been a trance nut for a long time,\.

Well, I recently got hold of the usual Audio software for my mac... and..

well, I would like you to have a listen to two of my creations

I did post this in the production forum, but since I'm an Aussie, I wanted to share them with my local buddies.

These are my 4th and 3rd attempt to make a song... EVER... so they are not uber professional.. but they are getting there.

I would love some feedback, tips etc etc

Look foward to hearing what you think of them!

Cheers

Starsurfer

Aite i've only downloaded Lift of Life because im only on 56k, and am too lazy Its aite, few things you might wanna think about though...

The volume of the bassline is too low, gets lost where it could really carry the tune.

Good layers n key progression n all that which is good to hear.

Somethin i dont like is where you take it down into breakbeats. Sure, do it, but i would try and change the snare - cos in my humble opinion, its a horrible one - and add more rhythm changes to the highhats, maybe even venture into 3/4 for the hihat rhythms.. just anything so its not just the 4/4 hihats over a broken beat, cos it sounds really empty.

I like the synths, i was about to say that the tracks goin no where (because i'm listening as im downloading) but i just got to the change up at around 4:00 which is cool, i like the change in notes and it sounds wicked, especially at 4:18-4:19.

4:35 roughly theres another layer added in which is cool, i think this is where the tune really picks up and shines.

Overall a good track, though i think it needs a bit of help in the bass area, both the bassline and the kick itself. They're both a bit weak and the volume needs to be turned up on both (my opinion tho). If you're gonna have that breakbeat, do it well. There's nothing worse than a cheap breakbeat and i laugh when i hear one So work on that, and add to it. Try this program hear --> http://www.lysator.liu.se/~zap/stomper/stomper5.exe to muck around with ur beats, you can even make those beats which mirco de govia uses where the bass drops n reasonates, pretty cool wait a seccie, ur using a mac no?...well that Stomper program is for windows, so if you can use it, do!


Ciao

lol

i downloaded these two tracks the same night as i downloaded that new paul van dyk set, so i hope i'm excused for completely forgetting about these tracks

Quite good overall, I like Lift of Life

Keep plugging away at it, and your sound will continue to develop. As always, practice makes perfect
