Well made, therefor not much to say, except that the kick gets uninspiring as the track progresses, it lacks both atmospheric and lead elements at that point too, but that's because you probably haven't gotten to that part yet when you uploaded. Good work man.

Originally posted by Andy28 So here is my wip of yet another track I won't finish (still aint broke the habbit) :/

That's actually pretty damn good man. Finish it!



Here is my latest wip, very unfinished. The mixdown & limiting are probably terrible, will fix that when I get my KRK phones.
The main focus here was creating the drum loops. Working with sliced downtempo samples is awesome! Also, drum and chord variations will be added later.

Also, whoever tells me which genre this is gets imaginary beer, honest!

Originally posted by Raphie Me too! took some feedback with me and here is V2

its gets too heavy for me raphie around the 4min mark, too much mid rangey stuff, i think its the reverb/delay on the acid line thats killing it - its drowning out the bassline as well

also its a bit treble heavy for my own ears - but i do like the overall groove!

thanks man! - ive reworked it since then, kick was a bit low etc etc - i will upload the finished version to my soundcloud soon, i think ive spammed this thread enough for now

I like your track but it sounds a bit harsh to my ears - i think its the drum loop as it sounds sweet at the 3:30 mark! yep its defo that drumloop and distorted sound, dont like that personally

overall i know i could like this track pending some tweaks - nice to hear something like that for a change! good stuff

I like the idea, but i don't like the drums, they are sort of repetitive and are not 100% on the grid which emphasizes the sample effect, maybe replay them yourself and add some variation in them? the rest of the track deserves it, genre wise it's easy listening to me.

Thanks for feedback! About not being on the grid, is that a problem? I like the groove that creates, but you know, neutral ears are better than the creator's.

As I said, the drums are not finished yet, I have only made single bar loops for every one of them for now, but I will definitely add variations later.

And the sliced downtempo samples, yeah, I'll have to re-do them.

This is useful, love this thread.

Thanks for the kind words Rodri and Vernon. Been trying to get some chords down but nothings working for me atm but we will see. Would also love any comments on the mix. I try and reference it with similar tracks in style but I don't have the greatest of headphones so can never really tell....

@Raphie

I agree with whats been said, the track gets too busy. You're trying to cram too much in and it isn't working for me. For example after the break 5:46 sounds fine but when you bring the side chained pad and the other thing in its just too crowded and doesn't need to be to work. Also the crash is too repetitive but that's probably me just being too picky, sorry


@Vernon

Same again agree with what people are saying. Don't think much of the distorted drums, spoils it for me. Would like to hear when you have had another bash at them with more variety. Overall its a nice track to listen too, very chilled and laid back.

I am listening with terrible headphones at the moment too(getting the KRKs tomorrow ), but the mixdown sounds cool, all elements are clear, everything seems at place. Post a longer cut, with more elements when you can, I can't really tell you much now. Sounds good so far.

And about the chords, sometimes even the simplest solutions, like a two note pad can do wonders. Lay down something basic and move onto other things if you lack inspiration.

Nice track, I really like it
You have to improve you mix quite much, as you said.
I am not into that genre so much but I think you could try to make better transitions when something happen, I mean around 2.33 and 4.48.
Overall it was good with a nice feeling




Here is my "Melodic house progressive". No mastering and just slighty mixing. Sorry for the low volume-output

Originally posted by Andy28 All this needs is a banging loud in your face kick and snare, then job done! Are you planning on finishing this Rich? Hope so.. Sounds quite nice would love to hear more of this. The snare needs to be brought forward more but overall has a really good groove. @kadomony Not my thing at all but it sounds very well mixed, nothing sounds out of place and levels all seem fine to me So here is my wip of yet another track I won't finish (still aint broke the habbit) :/

I like this, the mix is good and like the melody!

^ Yeah me too, it has a an awsome modern sounding kick with great melodies.

My turn.

not sure on the melody progression, kick and bass are nice!

none of the elements are in same key. is that on purpose or did u just press random-generator hoping for the best melody?

what the fuck happens with key/pitch at 4:18 lol

Thanks for your input Evo8

@ Clay everything is in F Major.

Originally posted by itsamemario yeah i gotta say i agree with rodri here. i mean the groove that kinda gets going towards the end is cool, but at least an octave lower, and i'd definitely think about bringing in some organic percussion into the mix. and yeah, the kick is pretty horrible, sounds pretty SID'y. And there's a reason why you never hear them outside of chiptunes, they just don't have that solid sound you need in a proper track. And that especially goes for the kick. You could maybe beef it up with some eq, but what's the point when you could get a different one that just works out of the box? My 2 cents.. And as I'm 5:2 on the give/take scale, and as I'm really keen on some feedback, I'm gonna repost this as it seems to have been overlooked the first time around.

only dude here with some sort of skills! pretty awesome stuff. send it to speedyj :P

Man that kick is golden. The bass is nice too. The chord progression (& melody) is just unispiring, doesn't lead you on a journey(sorry for hippy language). You really need to change the piano sound, it just sounds cheap, same with the plucks. The flute is alright. The breakdown is executed pretty well, but should have some dramatic and/or driving events. Also, get rid of the pitch shifting in the breakdown, at least on such tonal instruments, that sounds just awkward, doesn't provide that rising effect, it just throws everything out of key. You can perform the key shifting via piano roll if you want, but don't use the pitch slider. The mixing is pretty good especially when the drums & bass are active. Just clear out the sub area. The plucks however get kind of lost in the latter part of the breakdown.

Generally it'll turn out good, just fix those issues and you're right on
