Sounds a bit like the clean prog from 2009-ish which I think was done by David West and Jonas Hahmo at the time. It is a fun listen, sounds a bit dated, and could benefit from a bit more low end on the bassline. I'm a big fan of these type of stabby chords, so that's a plus ;). The chord progression works nicely. Nice sound overall. |

Honestly it sounds like pretty much every WIP you post. Beat, pads, rolling bassline and/or mids. Mids in this case. Nothing really graps my attention. Try putting some melody or chords on top of this, start experimenting way out of your comfort zone, it really seems like you're always stuck on tiny things taking away from the bigger picture. |
Thanx! |

better on the low-end but you could still roll off a bit more of the sub bassline
main problem with this track is that the lead is just way too loud and harsh. Noticed around the 4:55 mark the track starts to open up as the filter closes on the lead, the space becomes apparent then and you can actually hear the other elements in the mix.
Mixing is about a balance between everything - you cant have 1 element completely dominating everything else!
hth
p.s. also that clap is a little clichéd to my ears? |

ok so i wont open the filter as much when the drop comes in but was it ok in the breakdown? im doing the env with the mouse so its tricky.
i will cut some of the bass not alot but just a touch.
i will scrap the clap and sort a new one :) thanx for the info |

As Evolve said, the kick/bass combo doesnt stand out from each other that well. Kick sounds really weak against that kind of sub bass which just pounds and isnt well binded. At the end, where you just rose the octave on your bass sounds pretty weird. The pads could be also tighter and the high frequencies are little out of place.
Composition vise it does better.
Your other track sounds really clean. I kinda like it. Sounds lil bit empty and relays much on the lead.

Good points by Matt (Storyteller) about Bass and kick - also this pluck which is use from 0:42 could use some additional layer or modulation on it for more sound dynamics impact - overall really like what I'm hearing ;)

my point is that the lead is too loud - use the volume fader first, then maybe eq - use your ears :) |

Atmosphere sounds good Juan and I think you made an improvement on incorporating some more melodic elements and backing pads matching in key. Keep working at it, try to get it to sound even more defined.
My first track I made since I got Bitwig... Attempting to a kinda atmospheric 909 techno track utilizing alot of rhythmic elements.
EDIT:
Thanks for the feedback AlphaStarred, I got a few ideas to make the track less repetitive percussion wise and overall. Going to add some spice to the peak energy section. Uploaded a new version with some flow issues fixed. |

Hey All,
comin back with this track as it is nearly completed. I did some major overhauling on the EQ end and as Richard B. says it took the "fried egg" feel out of it. I think..
Added some bass in areas but I am having an issue with the initial bass at 00:51 sec. When that saw hits it seems as if it is out of tune,but when the sub comes in it seems to work itself out. Not sure
As well, any thoughts on the build leading to the drop...I am not sure I am vibing on that drop at all (even think my sub kick is out of place.
----------------

now that is sounding cool near were the bass drops though the vox gets tidius but might just be me.
the bass does seem to need more or it could be my speakers!
great work though |

Nice...sounds very cool!
for constructive sense, I would have liked to hear a bit more percussive work from 1:00 on. Something variating the progression. High hats perhaps? |
