Looking for some constructive criticism on this song I'm working on.

Well, doesn't have to be constructive criticism, but I just want to see where it stands as of now. I don't know much about EQ, so if you have any tips, I'm all ears. Also any advice pertaining to anything else is welcome. Just please be honest.
P.S. I do plan to put vocals with the song, but I'm just trying to get the instrumental intact. |

| Sorry about that, it couldn't attach because it was too big. I'm working on getting a link, so I'll get back to you on that. |

The first song is the one I was talking about.
Thanks for taking the time to listen. |

hey. ill tell you the negatives first. not sure about the title. sure about the fact you either need better drums and percussions. hate the piano cliche. the piano melody is weak and does not add anything to your track. need to increase variability and originality with it as well. Deadly need of sound effect for better transitions.
now the core melody is very attractive. if you can make the different synth elements merge with each other better this could be a great non-vocal progressive. synth selection which i assume are presets is very decent. If they are not presets i would suggest you to do small short synth derivatives for one note rythmic melody, or a 1 bar melody that has all notes found on potential bassline.
suggestions: get better drum samples. do more, and simpler derivatives of the core melody (1 or 2 bar melody especially for intro or outro). You could deepen this track massively by doing something really original like just doing a slower (128 bpm) track without percussions or maybe a good simple 4/4BD only, and with slow progressions of various derivations of the core melody and sound effects in volcanic apex pattern (graddually increase ammount of instruments playing to the point of almost being overwhelming). Or you could just add a simple technoish-or techtrancish sections on it but with decent percussions and introing in and outroing out of these several times in the track (in a female-multiorgasm manner :) lol which is 3-6 smaller melodic apexes with very rythmic and monotone sections in the middle) but for this youll need far better samples.
good luck mate. keep it up :P |

| Thanks for all the advice, I'll definitely try to take it all in. Thanks for being honest too. The percussion samples did sound a little better before being played in the entire mix, but not by much. I don't know much about transitions, but I'll work on that. Haha, the name was just something I didn't give much thought to. I think I try to overcomplicate tracks sometimes, when really they'd sound better simplified. I'll probably take the piano out or expand on it, I don't know yet. I think what I need to work on the most right now is structuring my tracks. Thanks again for the feedback, at least I know this song has potential. |
