Hi

http://users.pandora.be/dj_vylix/Dj...nished%203).mp3
(right click, save target as)
made with Reason 2.5
It's taking about 5minutes till it reaches for the break.. is this too long? what about the instruments? do they fit with eachother? Just help me out with it :) what's wrong? what's good? what more can i add, re-arrange, delete, ...
thx in advance!

| You're off to a pretty good start. I wouldn't worry about the instruments, they seem to be working together pretty well. The only suggestions I have are maybe try to work on a more complex beat pattern, and try to shorten things up a bit. As I listened to your song I found myself wanting to fast forward to get to the next part. Like I said, everything works together pretty well, and it's a very pretty song...but it progresses a little too slow to hold my attention. Hope this helps and keep up the good work. |

Well, I think it's great! It really has that laidback, trance sound from a few years ago in it. A bit like the first ISOS.
But the track definitely needs a bit more variation/energy building up, because otherwise it will get boring.
I'm really curious about the result! |

thx both! yeah i know that it's a little bit boring :)
but what more can i add? some effects?

You can add more effects to make the track less boring, but you can also build the track faster.
So instead of 5:30 to the break, make it 3 or 4 minutes. You can also add a bit more percussion, because the beat is kinda empty, although this does sound nice with this particular track. |

yeah more percussion indeed :)

| Hey great start man! You've got some nice full sounds. The flow of the track is great for the background. It does need something more I can ride from start to finish to keep me interested. The thing that I kept wanting to hear is with that whistly-airy-synth sound. It only comes out for a couple notes here and there, but it really kept me hooked. I love the sound, but I wanted to hear it more than what you used. Is it possible to make more of a melody with that sound? |

yup i wanted to do that :) nice synth eh :) Malström power :p
anyway still working on the track.. so I got to go :)
keep you all updated :)
cheerz!!

ok first of all it has potential but right now...I don't know...there's just no energy in it right now I'm afraid...
first of all the kick is way to weak, add more power to it, make it harder and more distinc so it can drive the tune on better...
second off all, you need to do way more EQ'ing work on almost every instrument, feels like there's only midrange in the whole song and no hi's at all...fix that and it will sound more proffesional right away...
the percussions you have right now is a good start but add way more stuff to it, the beat right now goes like boom - tick - boom - tick...doesn't drive the song on at all, just sounds thin...
the bassline is good, keep that one as it is...a tip though to get the bassline to drive the song better is by adding a highbase to the song with a little more speed in it (thanks envio for this tip ;))...
well I feel like a total complainer right now but don't get this critique wrong now...I'm not totally bashing your tune coz you can do something good with it, you just need to put down more work on it :)
It's a good start that has potential to get even better in the end :)
good luck and keep the good work going :) |
