I want to send this one out so if you can help me with any 'advices' that would cool
For example is the verse after the first drop too short?
And the second drop too repetitive?
|
tbh i think version you posted first was better. That plucks on start are nice, but i would rather use them later, or on the end. You had punchier kick before?
I don't know, maybe try to make a shorter version. |

A couple od people asked me what the JD XA is like
Here's a quick demo I just made of some pluks I made from scratch - on board fx only
|
Love the musical idea, on the technical side the plucks may be a bit too drowned in delay, especially until 0:39. |

i guess so? wouldnt get hung up on genres, lovely track, wonder how some epic strings in the background might sound towards the peak of the track?? |

Production wise the sub and kick are not blending and would recommend some sidechain compression.
Some of your higher frequency tones (as in the white noise splashes, cymbals on the shaker) are to bright and when the splash hits you kinda cringe away.
The overall feel of this track I can vibe on. I see more clarity than your first attempt and you capture some very nice atmosphere. Blending and normalizing each tone will go very far in this mix.
-------------------------
So, keeping to my goals for 2017 in creating originals and backing away from remixes, I decided to approach things a little differently.
I am wanting to work more on my leads,synth work and doing more sound design.
I found myself looking back into the library and pulling out tracks that didn't make the cut. Took parts and re worked them into this track.
Not sure what this is really but I keep finding myself interested in working it.
Very raw with a lot of placeholders but kinda digging the feel

Thanks. I didn't like the kick too, but it was late already, and i was more interested to findout if this work as a track. Did some sidechain on bass and kick but the kick is just not right. But yeah, it's better now, thanks to Richard and Evo hate on first version :).
I don't know, i've listen a couple of times. Sounds good technicaly, and i can listen to it in background not bothering me, but i think you can do better melodies. Nice... but not thrilling :)

If i would try to do such a thing a little Frankenstein would come out for sure, so what you did is pretty good |
