Well I will do a quick introduction about myself, then get to my tracks.
I am Curtis, from Texas, 14 years old, I started producing music about a year ago. It all started when my brother got me a Daft Punk CD for Christmas, soon I got a keyboard and Reason 4. There began my musical exploration. Now all my money goes straight towards music, I have a Korg Radius Synth, a Kaoss Pad 3, and a set of decks. So I am still a beginner but I feel as if I am progressing very well and starting to produce quality songs now.

Hi Curtis, welcome to TA.
Listened to your tracks, so here's some feedback.
3rd RPM Track; Whole mix needs some low-end EQing. Like the bassline. Not a great fan of the percussion, doesn't really follow a suitable rhythm. Synths sit well, but you introduce the main key far too early, which means the general build of the track doesn't have any impact. Very clean sounding, for only a year producing! :)
Paradise-Take 2; Love the sound of the main synth. The key is also nice. Not sure the counter-melody works well with it, though. Feel like the bassline sounds slightly cluttered and muddy, compared to the other elements. Better percussion in this.
Pure Zen; Really like the tone of this, and the overall sound. As far as constructive criticism goes, I have to say it doesn't have great presence, due to other elements lacking. As a baseplate for future work, that has massive potential. It needs a lot of EQ work and a more solid foundation though, to be completely honest.
Just my views and comments. Hope they help in some way. :) |

Thank you! I love criticism! Now to ask a lot of questions!

-Low end EQ'ing in what way, more bass? Less? Are the hi-hats the part of the percussion that sound weird? The way I use them in the intro? How would you recommend I not introduce the main key in the intro, get rid of that square synth that that plays a little riff like every measure?

-I have ton's of melodies going on, the counter melody I am assuming is the super saw? I understand the bassline being muddy though.

-So a little more solid, something to go on during most of the song, some sounds that aren't so whispy all the time? What kind of EQ work also?
Thank you!
