It's been a grueling 2 and a half months, but I was finally able to finish this. Learned lots throughout the creation of this and had a lot of fun moments. Please note that I havent equalized it properly as I am using my laptop's built in soundcard and don't have any monitors and am only using sony headphones to monitor my mix.
Please give me some helpful criticism, I know there a lot of mistakes but that is why I have uploaded the track for the pro's and more experienced producers to flesh out the mistakes and things that need improving.
Also how can i remove a lot of the clipping? I notice it especially in the kick drum and one of the synth effects I am using.

pretty bizarre track, too slow for my liking. I don't think you have thought about the arrangement in terms of the introduction and end of sound use enough within your track. Use some fx to give it some more oomph, work on the break down as you basically just faded out in volume and then faded in in volume. you need to be more creative, if your after something more professional.
think about the big picture, dont run on too long as it can get boring,
yep, thats all |

| What are some techniques to make a more professionally sounding breakdown? The fading in and out of the volume is the only way I know how to do it. Could you elaborate more on the arrangement? |

Eh its wierd hey. Like its so bad its good almost, maybe send it to planet mu. Try having a key next time your writing a song, and watch out on the dodgy snare rushes, they sound .
Still, I'm sure I wrote worse back in the day, have dug up some seriously questionable at times. |

its hard to say except chop/change it up, listen to the music you like (pay attention to their break downs, change in melodies and the like, and follow that structure (in fact analyze a whole track) so you can really understand its composition. count out your beat (position your changes), add some fx's as i said to enhance the nature of the break down and build up/or changes etc. As for, arrangement there is no fixed rule, you practically can do as you will.
surprise people! |
