Do you think this one is worth finishing or not? Be honest as I'd hate to waste time on it if not good.


Cheers

Finish it. Don't endlessly fuck with it .......finish it.

Red Dawn - So you are with dnb right now... i like the strings a lot, percussion/snare... the whole dnb thing is what doesn't work yet i'd try a more powerful snare and shakers very promising.



This is a new experiment i don't feel very motivated with this track in fact it's getting to long to finish it. For me seems a bit crowded like everything i do i am thinking of removing some stuff.

This is a great groove man. I don't feel it's overcrowded - in fact I like how you manage to work in several percs & perc FX. Also the kick and bass work really well together. The only thing I crave is more variation as the track goes on. There's a lot of adding elements, but not as much subbing stuff. Take some of those awesome delayed bleeps, drop them, and make me miss them for a while. You've got me reeled in, but I keep waiting for something unexpected. I'm not accustomed to this genre, so I could be talking out my ass.

BTW I decided to hop back on the forum solely BC this WIP thread got me excited about producing again after hearing all the refreshing stuff you guys are working on.

I don't have a WIP myself I just want to leave feedback!

imo this is the most cohesive piece of music i've heard from you. the added percussion hard panned at 3:35 does feel a bit overwhelming but it doesnt take away from me enjoying this. you could sit the entire mix except kick/bass back a db or two and this would be very, very solid imo.

thanks for compliments i just had some extra work to do on the breakdowns filtering the bass and this things looking for more contrast in the drops and a vocal loop to act as a hook.

this is cool from about 4 mins 30 onward? theres a nice little 2 note thing going on there, couldnt hear it in the earlier section - really grooves along nicely!!

if you took from 4:30 to the end and made your track from that youd be on to something imo

Rodri that's your best work so far, get it finished.

Thanks for the comments on red dawn - tbh it's not really dnb, but in any event your comment got me motivated to make better dnb beats on other tracks as I haven't cracked the drum side just yet.

Great thread this fellas, eh.

C'mon Looney, get some shit up.

I like the theme from about 3 to 3:30 including the pause leading up to the drop. I am listening on laptop speakers so I am not getting a full picture right now, but I think it might be a bit too crowded. A lot of driving percussion can work in Techno, if it is done right, for example:



At the same time, the more minimal approach, with a few big elements is sometimes the best route.

I know I recently posted in this thread, but I have another one I have spent two days on. Nothing is final on it right now and I will probably add some more minor elements later but I wanted to finish an entire 1st draft. I am going for festival house music in this one. I want it short and drop driven for a general audience. I actually spent more time than usual getting the programming and arrangement down. The part leading up from the melodic breakdown section to the bassline drop was tough to bridge but I think I am happy with the general layout now. Any feedback is appreciated!

Trancelover - fantastic breaks - what a melo apart from the 'off key' part (a taste thing probably).

Really cohesive effective structure and elements.

1 thing to work on imo - the drops. They are fine but I think you will get more bang for the buck by layering that bass lead thing with an ever changing syncy / dubby sound to keep things engaging.
