@optik, the track tshark - first class is a good track from what I heard, I would suggest some sound fx in the beginning and maybe the background pad mixed in with the bass, overall good job, keep up the good work.

really nice, cool track, i really like the high pitched melody sound, its a pity it gets slightly drowned out by the other synths that come in - maybe try and prioritise it in the mix a bit more?
Which one? The arp-like starting at 0:48?

Me neither lol I'm very confused as to what it is classified as. Did you enjoy it or was it too generic or not your style?

To me, the sound is relatively raw overall, what with the rumbling kick sound, the somewhat basic hihat pattern, the bass/pad synth choices, and the extremely sparse fx work. That's not a bad thing per se, but I think the track could benefit from a little smoothness somewhere, if only to create a contrast against which the rawer elements sound even more paleo ;) Maybe one of the existing elements could be adapted (I think the kick or the pad would be good choices), or something could be added (like an arp, or some more flowing percussion). Does that make sense? :)
I've been away for a while so sorry for the late reply. I don't really know what to make of your criticism. It sounds like you don't like it that much ;) Kick and drums is what I have most problems with, so I can agree they may not be top notch.
The raw sound was what I was going for with this one. I kinda like it, but maybe your right about creating some contrast. It gets even rawer later on :)
I think I will give this tune a few more hours and then move on. Can't work on it for ever. Thanks for your comments.

Here's something I'm working on that I'd like to get some feedback on. This preview isn't an arrangement yet, I just threw together what parts I had without any transitions or song structure.
What I'm looking for is feedback on whether it's unique enough - after the initial session I suddenly noticed that it felt a bit like I had unconsciously replicated a specific track (although I couldn't say which one).
And if you have any other, more general feedback (on sound choices, composition, whatever :)), that's very welcome too!
edit: oh yeah the reason why it's called thrillipreview is that i made the drums almost completely with the preview pack from the new thrillseekers samples from freshly squeezed ;)
Maybe a little late to comment on this one now, are you done with it?
Sounds like a nice track to chill to. I like the bass and the melody is good to. Don't know about uniqueness, but in my opinion it doesnt have to be more unique then this to be enjoyed.

I like the beat. Not to happy about that high blip though, gets distracting for me. Would prefer something totally different to be honest.

Don't know what this is, cluttered psycho house maybe. Cool use of the vocal samples. There are elements I like in there, but it gets a little bit to much here and there ;) But yeah, some cool stuff.

It's all good. Tbh I didn expect many to like it. I set out to make something different and that usually comes with people not liking it. Everyone has a right to opinion especially with a track as experimental as this haha

I actually like this. It sounds cool to me. the mix down doesn't sound good on my speakers tho. The bottom end is a little muddy.

Well thank ya! Ya I don't own any monitors yet and my landlord is pain in the ass about music being played. I need to take it into a studio and correct some frequencies and mix. Thanks for the heads up
