Everything I post is not even 50% finished
So, first off.
Be prepared and able to take criticism. Music isn't great for the ego and the only way it will improve is by facing up to the rough edges.
If you want honest feedback, then you'll get it - up to you of course if you take it.
This also being a production forum - why on earth would you post something finished seeking advice on it? - as you've finished it?
Like you could even just post a section/loop of the meat of the track - or half of it.
Soundcloud is also letting us all see what is going on (when we get the time to look at material)
Sorry for dragging this out. Don't be shy

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on Koyo, much appreciated lads. This is my latest one called Static Blue, worked on and completed over the weekend. Went back to the trance vibe for this, with an orchestral breakdown (a first for me
). Any opinions or feedback on it are much appreciated as always.

Some nice ideas. Would like to hear a bit more happening after the breakdown. You should definitely finish it off and let us hear it.0 -

Some nice ideas in there. The orchestral break is nice but it felt like it needed a bit more presence, a bit more oomph. And it would be a good idea I think to introduce it into the track after the breakdown because at the moment it nearly sounds like a track where an orchestral break was mixed in and then mixed back out.0 -

Something for the weekend.

i'm enjoying your new tracks Android. nice to see/hear an evolution of ideas from earlier works evolving into more complex tunes.
Fortified Wine is a slick piece of work. nice oldschool feel to it without being too retro.
Onwards Again, Bam Bam and Code Of The Caribou are great too. some cool funky break-out sounds in Bam Bam.
if you don't mind some... uh... advice, i think it is a shame that your levels are a little bit off, imho. some sounds seem to spike uneasily while other more important sounds get a little submerged within the mix. i know you are using Reason (and getting some amazing sounds out of it) but the sooner you incorporate Logic/Ableton/DAWofChoice into your workflow, even just slaving Reason into individual channels, and getting the hang of some basic mastering techniques, your tunes will sound more cohesive and sounds will sit better in the mix.
that said, i hate giving advice. it always feels like backhanded criticism. which is worse than a backhanded compliment.
btw, not too sure about Love The City. i hate tracks that use Siren samples in 'em. 0 -

There's no compression on this one so you might have to turn the volume up a bit, just like the old days.
seriously great tune there. like the old days indeed! 0 -

Just checked there and I forgot to put a compressor on it though...seanash wrote:hey grimey a better way for you to get more impact is to lower the volume of the entire breakdown by around 2 dbs overall.once the drums come back in at normal volume theyll sound louder because of the volume drop in the breakdown
that's a lovely taster of what's to come. i agree with the advice offered by the lads regarding the mix. things need to be pushed up and sidechained. it's shaping up to be a great tune.0 -

I don't know how to Eq. And my mastering is guerilla shareware mastering.
i'm not up on the technicalities of eq or mastering myself, but at the end just try to make it sound the way i want it to i guess...
"guerilla shareware"? is it extra mastering plugins like shareware versions of WAVE? i'm using the mixer in FL studio (and Spectrasonics)
i think some of your tunes sound very high quality for sure!!
the main difference with the sound quality in mine is 100% due to the monitors i bought. what i thought was finished sound before i got the monitors and after were worlds apart.
stuff i done before is on my myspace: http://www.myspace.com/reddaveproducer the sound is terrible [edit] just browsed there and the music player is not appearing. could be the link here from work or could be myspace been total cackMy production skills may be very poor

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyZrXTNvue0 what a great tune and video. work really excellent with each other... how and where? 0 -

I can only guess that she's just done some smack and then doing her performance art of 'how to open a can of food after scoring some smack then forgetting it's food' - unless it's a canned thrush cure and she's doing a show to show locals how to apply it. 0 -
