It's a deadly tune. I really like the piano and the vocal sample. And the arpeggiated synth that comes in sounds deadly. But I have to say I just hate that snare in it. I just don;t like the sound of it, there's something a bit Stock Aitken Waterman about it. And I'm not mad about that off timey fill that it does. Having said that, everything else about the tune is deadly.

Hey man thanks for taking the time to listen and review,i was going for a mix of 70s/80s disco house feel to it but not of the pete waterman variety :pac:

done a quick vid for it with some soul train footage

thanks again man

What did you use to make that?

Where you using instruments external to the DAW?....Some of the notes sound a tinsy bit out of sync.

yeah i played the piano and bassline on a korg m3,the synth riffs were done on a novation ultranova and the rest in the box on protools

This was my most recent track I finished. Went for a chilled vibe on it. The mix itself is the final version but is currently unmastered. Any feedback appreciated!

Nice atmosphere in this,mastering will round it off nicely.

Funky techno? I can't think of another wya to describe this - i don't really think it's house. Anyway, nomenclature aside - I would appreciate your input on this one

I love the drums on this. The opening bars have a kind of 'Rex the Dog' vibe which is cool. I really like the glitchy vocal sample as well. The one thing I would change is the bassline. It rolls along a bit too continously for my liking. I think if it was a little choppier it would add some real groove to the track (maybe rough up the sound a tad as well, it's almost too smooth). But hey, that's just like, my opinion man.

It's quite a laid back dnb track, not as aggressive as I was expecting. There is good foundations for a great track here but I don't think there's enough progesssion over the track to keep interest going for the duration. Maybe you should introduce some more elements, like a stronger lead line or even a couple of stabs now and then. Also at around 1.50 mark the snares and hi-hats seem to be playing double if you know what I mean. Is this intentional? For a while I though there was a second tab open playing the track a fraction of a second behind.

Hey guys,

First of all,i love what you are doing.

I've recently produced a house track and trying to understand if it's solid and/or if it needs anything to make it better.

Could you please check it and let me know what you think

The basic elements are sound but it does get very repetitive as there isn't much variation in the lead piano sound. The parallel synth that comes in after the break sounds very old skool but maybe that was intentional.
I really think you need some hi-hats in there somewhere and during the build-up you have a nice snare roll going an then nothing after the drop. You should considet instroducing a snare pattern at that point.
Well that's my two cents
(I've been doing nothing but commenting on people's tracks of late but I do have one that I'm struggling to finish so I will have my own work in the firing line soon )

Thanks man,

When your track is done, if you are looking for an opinion just let me know

Cheers,

I've just completed a track for a Beatport remix competition.
It's kind of a trippy deep house tune. I'd ultimately appreciate it if any of you lads could share it around on Facebook or Twitter so that it will be more visible towards the voting stages.

Here's the track: http://play.beatport.com/contests/art-department-robot-heart/51059b632cf670067bead2b2

Had loads of fun doing this so I hope you like it!

Cheers

Something different I knocked together on Sunday morning after a session

I'm new to the boards.

This is my first new original production in six years. Made while getting up to date in the studio, with a new DAW, new softsynths, etc. It was a bit of a surprise to find the new issues that presented themselves working on a 64 bit platform. Had to drop my old DAW for one.

So, this track is what I'd call Progressive House, much of my old style in it, though I'm trying to move toward a more modern, clubby tip (not quite at that place yet).

I think my sound quality is still pro. Not sure how the track would fit the current state EDM though. You can let me know what you think.

Find it here:

https://soundcloud.com/stroud-spins/stroud-shiba-inu-original-mix

Download enabled. Feel free to use it however you like, if you're inclined to do so. Not sure if I'll be firing up my old record label again, or even shopping any of my stuff to labels, so I'm figuring for now I'll just be throwing stuff out there and see how it's received.

peace,

stroud

As you mentioned in your post this tracks has elements of your previous style and to be honest it sounds like it was made 6 years ago. I don't think the hook on the main melody is inventive enough and the choir pad used in the breakdowns is very old skool. I think you need to shorten the decay on the kick during the main body of the song as well, as it gets a bit muddy at times.

Lucious pads on this track and I like the panning on the hits at 1.05. I think the snare is a bit wishy washy though and could use more presence. I'm a big fan of the disembodied voice samples though.
I thinnk the pads are so full sounding that you should try for a more aggressive version with maybe a D n B style percussion or breaks even.

I hear what you are saying about the snare, I will play around with it an see can I get a better sound.

HA sure why not I'll try a DnB remix, it's something I never tried before. :pac:

This is my latest track, has a kind of chilled out/cinematic vibe to it. I'm not sure what it is but I'm finding a lot more of the tracks i start work on these days are just veering toward this chilled out style, probably old age setting in Any feedback is much appreciated.

Very nice work. Only thing is that the snare volume seems to fluctuate a fair bit at times, not sure if this was intnerional or not. Apart from that it's very nicely produced. Could easily be a background track for some kind of tv show with nice visuals.

Nice punchy kick and the glitchy vocals at the start of the track are great although I think they are overused throughout the track. Not sure of the piano line though as it seems a bit 'clean' compared to the more aggressive sounds that formt the rest of the track. You have an absolutely stonking like 'wobble' bass hit at 0.56 that nearly made my cream my pants! Would loved to have heard that develop a bit more

Thank you. Yeah I try to always have something going on. Hate that "dance music is repetitive" stereotype :cool:

Thanks I wasnt sure if i was overusing them or not, i kind of based the track around them so couldnt leave go. It was a very different track when i started working on it, 97 bpm, heavy pretty lights influence. I sware I blanked out for about 8 hours and when i realized what i had done, seems knife party got a word in and all

I took some of the best instruments from my last track and used them in this, and ill be doing the same for my next one. The wobble bass will probably be used I loved it, but didnt want to change the track so much that it was like listening to 3 different songs in 5 minutes.

Mastering took the most amount of time though, trying to fit the frequencies comfortably together, easily 15 hours of listening to it over and over. Anyone have any tips?

Appreciate the feedback chaps

Hey guys. I'm just starting out getting to grips with Ableton, and I've managed to put together something resembling a complete track. If any of you like r&b, neo-soul, or 80s synth instrumentals, you might like this track. Inspired by Onra's "Long Distance".

I know most of you will probably be used to listening to EDM, but if you've got any feedback to give me I'd much appreciate it. Starting out and could use some criticism, constructive or otherwise.

Well it's not my scene musically but for what it's worth I would lower the volume of the kick slightly and maybe introduce a little bit of variation every now and then. The main pad is pitched very high and kind of grates a little. Might be worth consdering layering another lower frequency pad with it maybe with a touch of reverb or chorus to fatten it up a bit.

Thanks a million! I would love it to sound more full but I haven't really got much of an idea how to do that. Will be trying out your advice as soon as I get the time.

Thanks again

Hello

Thanks for the feedback on my previous track, implemented some of the changes you'd recommended and it did sound better after,

You should create a consulting business or something

I have a new track, have not made it public on Soundcloud yet but here's a link:

https://soundcloud.com/stan-soze/mind-your-dance-louder/s-WjzIo

Could you please check it out and let me know what you think

I think the kicks are a bit to loud

Thank you in advance,
Stan
