    Yeah. I would be interested.

    You don't have print all twenty stems or whatever - just a few stems from the mixdown.

    Good man! I got the vocal stem today but it's the original with no effects over the top of it. There's four our 5 other stems like, drums, guitar, bass, and both synths so it's not to many like. Send me a pm with your e-mail and i'll send them to ya some day this week.

    I like it.

    But.

    Don't bring the snare back in at 0.40.........let it build

    You've got all your drops in the wrong places - I love the way the way the melody builds and goes "bum bum bum boum" -

    It's a really good tune - but the arrangement is all wrong. Where it starts about 1.34 - that's where it's heading into the madness - you only take that section to 1.40 - that section should 4 to 8 times longer.

    It's actually a really good tune.

    Thanks man, that's really really helpful. and appreciated. You've given me a lot of good pointers there. It'll probably be a few days before I get back to it but you've given me a lot to work with. Thanks again. I do need to do a good bit of work on structure. I'm still not too great when it comes to that

    Have to agree with KRD here. I wouldn't bring the snare back in until 1.08 maybe building to the drop with a snare roll controlled with a volume envelope. I also think the snare is a bit on the tinny side. I also reckon you need to add something extra or else vary the main hook after the drop at 2.58. Other than that its good work. There's a bit of popping going on but I think that's down to Soundcloud. Happened on the last track I uploaded as well :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 552 ✭✭✭whiterob81


    Thank you very much. Aye, Sound cloud did give me some extra popping! Maybe I just need to look at levels and stuff too. You've givin me a good bit to go on there. Will try and sit down with it soon and sort out the stuff you're talkin about, beef up the snare and the like

    I think it could do with a slower tempo - about 128 would give it a nicer feel imo. It pelts along a mite bit too fast for my blood at the moment.

    Latest one from me, something summery for the weather :D any feedback is much appreciated.

    Yeah man good track. The only thing I could say about it is the feedback like effect on the sine, is it you used?, its like it has to much resonance on the filter. It takes away the feel of the track imo. Could get away with being longer!:)

    I like the drums - I like that double kick on the kick thing - judicious.


    The breakdown: you should have dropped the volume down more and built it back up . The stabs after the breakdown, are crying out to be more funky and stabbing - I don't know what you'd have to do with them - accent them or something. I think you have a side chain on them, that might be clipping bits back that actually need the power.

    Thanks . Might have a look at trying to slow it down a bit when I'm doing the other stuff

    I don't know.......the tempo you have is actually really high - but for that music - and who will play it, it might be the right tempo.

    If you could find some DJs who play Indie Dance - and maybe play stuff at that BPM - they're a completely a different kind of track to stuff that would be 120, housish.

    At 120 it would be slow and woozy - maybe not a bad thing. 128 it's getting faster - I've heard that's the preferred Indie dance BPM.......Higher.... you're entering a different territory. Once you go beyond 138, you are in nutta country.

    I've been playing around with the MP3 in Ableton - because I can hear the potential in there....And it's fun. It would probably been better had yee recorded it at 128 - less artefacting should you take it in either direction.

    As I was writing this - I was listening to a cut up loop, I've done - 32 bars of the track - it's a lot of fun.

    Send me those stems. I'll give it a rough crack - then maybe yee go back and record at 128 and do an Indie-Pervo classic - Something people go "fcuket, I'm getting laid tonight" when they hear the first few bars kick in, and the girl they're dancing with mouths back the lyrics - everyone here's got....


  • Registered Users Posts: 552 ✭✭✭whiterob81


    I think I'll have a go at trying 2 different versions of the track. One at the same tempo with all the changes you were saying and a slower, sleazier version to see how it comes out. i've never done a track below 135 before.

    also, krd. I'll send those stems on to ya later

    I really like it. think it sounds really good. i really like that xylophoney synth that's coming in towards the end. if i was to do anything different, i'd probably put a bit more delay on the stab synths that come in at the breakdown.


  • Registered Users Posts: 543 ✭✭✭WasterEx


    My latest production, it's just a preview to get some feedback to see if I'll continue going on the path/ flow it's currently on.

    Feedback would be sweet! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,325 ✭✭✭iLikeWaffles


    Started this other night not sure of the breakdown synth and outro needs working on some feedback would be excellent.

    Nice start, you'll need some sweet synth line now go over the top. Has a good summery feel to it thus far

    I think the bass and precussion are good although the kick seems a tad overpowering in the mix. The acid line is a bit weak sounding and could do with maybe adding some distortion to rough it up a bit. The main synth is very abrasive (although I like that :)) and as such doesn't quite suit everything else up to that point. I think you could keep it as it is if you made the acid line a bit edgier.

    I had a different boards account and closed it but here's my new one and some new tunes I done:

    Thanks for that was thinking break synth needed more air. Kick: did add some more EQ will gain it down :D Will do Another mixdown! want to have more of the piano bleeding through on acid line will defo add some dist to it. Nice one.

    I dunno man. There is obvious quality to your productions but I think they seem to be sitting in the middle of minimal and full-on techno. I think you should push a bit more towards either and the tracks would benefit. As I say the production is great but not really my bag. No offence man

    None taken, the whole point is to get feedback good and bad. Cheers for listening.
