Right people, my first posting on this here forum regarding one of my own tracks, a little nervous so go easy eh? ;)
Nah, just please be honest about what you think if you do stream or download - I would relish any feedback good or bad. I want to get better and that ain't going to happen by me listening to this one....more....time....:crazy:
It's a soundclick account so hope that doesn't put anyone off. Not sure how to mask the link so it's here as it is. Account at IUMA will be active soon so direct downloads soon poss.

It's called Encapsulation - just download and peruse.
Cheers one and all

beginging sounds nice, I like the roll fx you use for the transition, I also really like the notes you used for the baseline they flow nicely.
Nice melody also, kick sounds pretty good,
I think it could use more drums though. More hats would help it push along better.
I don't think I really like the piano melody, maybe using a different sound would help, or maybe complicating the melody of it a little more than just on the off beats.
Still nice sounding track, keep it up : ) |

| Thanks Airyck! Appreciate the feedback. I hadn't considered the piano being more complicated - something I'll look at for the next revision, drums as well deffo. |

sounds nice! really liking the melody. synth could be a bit phatter perhaps, but i suck at creating phat synths so it's not for me to tell you that:D
definately needs more percussion.
i also agree with Airyck Sterrett on the piano melody.
the bassline sounds a bit muffled on my stereo (so that's probably because of my radio hehe)
like the nice flow of the bassline too!
anyway, i like it! keep it up:)

Cheers John, that means a lot!
This is quality, it's getting me well excited to go back to a tune that I'd run out of ideas for. Nice one. I'm going to overhaul the piano area I think, maybe get some more rhythm in there, or try a new synth voice.
Oooh the possibilities :) |

Hey bassangel nice work man, few suggestions though.. it would sound much nicer if you put a nice clash at about 1:50ish when the beat hits and its only the synth solo, maybe a snare roll also but a very light one in the background.
-For the piano noise, I suggest using a differnt type of sound because getting a real nice sounding and authentic melodic piano tune isnt so easy, try finding another type of dreamy synth or something that would sound good, and make it a tad bit louder.
Around 3:45 it seem's like something is missing I'm not sure what it is.. but it seems like its to dull cause it doesnt have depth.. see if you can get rid of some of the effects and the other stuff that youve put and have a more outgoing and melodic feeling you know what I mean? .... it seeem's like all the sounds are in your face.. try messing with the volume of bass/synth and kicks.. see how it sounds when you lower them and such..
But anyway this is a nice structure you got going and you got the talent, you just got to work on a few things. GOODLUCK!;)
BTW dont take this in any other way then a compliment, everyone is always trying to improve! |

Sounding pretty cool... couple of simple things i'd add to make it sound better; sharpen up the bassline a bit... would be kewl if it had some higher end in it too, kinda like an old rank1 style voice kinda agree that it sounds a bit muffled. The bass pattern is sweet though. Main synth I'd add alot more delay & maybe some reverb too.. the main synth from plastic boy - silverbath springs to mind when I think how it should sound :) .. doesn't really fill up the mix at the moment. I don't like how it's always LFOing either... sounds good in the break but needs to be constant during the main part of the track if you see how i mean. As for percussion... maybe a longer hiss-hat would work well in there as an addition.
Sounding promsing though :) |

IT's funny - once someone points this stuff out to you you can hear it. I wish I'd done this sooner!
MidaV> Thanks so much for the honesty bud, that's exactly the kind of stuff i was hoping to hear cos as you say it helps me improve. I hope I never get oversensitive about the music I write and I know how tempting it is to not say stuff you hear to be nice. It's really valuable what you said, thanks!
Isoterra> Thanks mate, I'm cracking on now with the suggestions.
Soon be updating this baby!

| again, it definitely has the amateur sound to it, but overall great work. ;) |

| What is it to your ears that makes it sound amateur? Could you be more specific dude? Helps to know specifics. |

| The amateur sound is there only due to lack of atmosphere. Its a very nice sounding track with good sounds, but you need more ambiance. Some more strings, filtered noises and such going on. Good work so far. |

Thanks SOM. Good to hear really. Without kissing arse, that means a lot coming from yourself cos you've got a very polished sound and I respect your stuff.
That's another thing I can work on then. Groovy!:toocool:
EDIT: Damn nice work on Sapphire man, very tasty indeed |
