Great picece! To my ears it sounds lil squished by compression/maximixzing though. Just a lil too loud mb.
This stuff is still solid!
----------------------------------
As xmas is around the corner and home with family and all that jazz, i had some time too play around and today i got started with this. Just a short loop, as put together today, but how does the mix sound so far? |
Cheers man might be pushing it too hard will look at that nice one ;)
Liking your track, very short loop to really comment but the mix sounds good so far |

Giuseppe Ottaviani style.
The track is too monoish. Spread it out, open it, make it breath. Low end is ok.
Adjust the attack of the pad. Is too abrupt and noticable.
But you definitely got a sense of a rhythm. And that's not a detail. Is actually the foundation of any edm producer who aspires to become something. You can be the best engineer/mixer, but without that it remains aesthetics. |
Cheers for the feedback man, Think the hats could be wider and pads aswell so will check them out, nice one :) |

Good melodic elements (lovely little background arp), but no deep bass freqs and the sidechaining is overdone. |

Thick, powerful foundation! Nice transitions too. The trance bits are a little generic in their composition maybe but it's a nice kind of generic and nothing embarrassing. The clap is too silent for my taste when things get going. |

Not been making much trance lately, but that is the direction this song took. Any feedback is appreciated:

Volume balance between hats and bass is a little off (hats too loud). The introduction of melodic elements could be either less sudden or more accentuated, right now it just kinda happens. That clap is pretty ballsy, but it works! Sub bass is there, but then there's a frequency hole in the lower mids. I feel like the song structure takes out more energy than it puts in. There are relatively frequently bits with no driving force. The main melody is nice, but not super nice ;) Climax sounds a little washed out maybe? Overall cool! |

Lovely sound in the intro: spacy pad, groovy shakers, cool kick, growly roller bass. The sub is maybe a little too siney for how high you're playing it? The vocal sample right now is just irritating... if you want to give the song a speech hook, you may need to focus one one memorable bit and make that more distinguishable perhaps, not play it so continuously? It's kind of hard to listen "around" the speech, but I think I like the percussion you have. The breakdown feels like the tune is ending, maybe you can start the buildup to the next bit while you're fading out and not after everything is gone (if there IS a next bit)? When the piano sets in, it's like a completely different track. The whole atmosphere is different, reverb space, bass character, melodic feel etc. The low line without the top does not work. Not sure what exactly you're doing there at the end :) |

Sorry I have not been around as much as I would like lately. I am in the north of Canada working in the oil patch. takes most of my time. I still managed to Hammer this track out on a few nightshifts tho.

This has many nice bits that don't seem to have much to do with each other :) It feels more like a soundset demo than a real track because you keep restarting and building up very quickly. There's no time for the listener to build expectations that you then can fulfill or subvert to create emotion. Melodically, you're quite solid. Maybe you could check for repeating notes in your synth lines and try to do something else with them - filter, phase, length, octave... |

Cheers for the comments dude. I know what you mean saying its generic as when you make a simple enough progression with a pluk it can sound that way! Still have a lot of work to do on the break was just getting the general layout of it going. Will check out the clap, nice one ;) |
