WIP. it needs more. Im trying to go for less of a song, more of a banger this time which is a little uncharted territory for me. Any thoughts very welcome
|
This is very cool and mix is clean and strong. Needs more, but it's promising. |

Latest one from me, another one that sounds a bit progsbreaks-ish, I think... |
Very nice Woony. I've always like the sound you have, but must admit that latest track you posted were pretty lookalike, this one is unique. |

Warning: more weird music :p
Friend asked me to make some instrumentals for him to rap over. Not sure what happened but it ended up in some kind of weird trip hop / dub / trance fusion.
How is the idea / execution? Not fully mixed yet and no vocals.
|
Yeah, it's a bit weird :) thanks to phased voice. But everything is working - bass, nice arp and drums. I like it. Mix sounds good to me, but i'm really not an expert. |

Its got a nice balearic / Ibiza type vibe :cool:
Main thing I would work on is mixing, the chords are trapped behind that wall of sound, need to bring them out a bit with EQ, and sidechain the kick to compress the big pad a bit.
This one has potential imo. |

yeah lovely vibe, just one of the chords isnt matching the bass or something, this has potential if the arrangement is tweaked a little, imho |

Hey, thanks guys! I'll try to clean it up.
Evo, can you please give me some track timepoint where you feel that chords isnt matching the bass. Is it by position or pitch? |

think its just pitch, in work so cant listen back, i love that bassy synth but the rest just doesnt fit around to give it that big feel if you know what i mean |

I think it's just that all of the sounds are very wide in the EQ and stereo spectrum, so the end result is that they all mash together and nothing stands out. If you cut the stereo spread and frequencies on some of the synths you'll get a much cleaner and balanced sound.
The track itself is definitely worth further exploring, as the others have said. Very interesting. |

yeah really nice mellow vibe. sounds real nice
i think the main problem is that your music is in a minor, sounds like your main chord is a/c/e minor triad
your bass (which isnt really a bass, more like a low string) is suggestive of E minor. Its moving from through the root, third, fourth and seventh of the scale but always moves back to the root of E (which is the 5th of A minor, or the top of your chord)
This gives the kind of clashing/dissonant feel. If anything its usually better to have the bass instrument play the root of your chord (not always OBVS)
If you want to keep the sound just write a new part for it based around the scale of A (and go low A not high). that would prob work v nicely but then your kick will need to provide all the low end energy to the mix (unless you add a sub too)
then you need to sort out the mix as suggested :) there is a lot going on in the low mids IMO but this is mostly just to do with pitch
