Well, I like the main pad sound, creates some pretty nice harmonies, on the other hand I do not like the vocoder thing at all, it sounds a bit too fat and muddy, the amen sounds pretty nicely mixed but the other breaks is a bit weak in the mix, at least in comparison to all the synth sounds, try panning some of them out alittle or use a stereo splitter of some sort. the bass sound is not of my taste but it's sounds good in the mix. I'm not sure what to say about the arrangement, the melodies or the track itself, it doesnt keep me very interested sorry, the harmonies feels a bit repeitive and dull and even if theyre pleasant it doesnt quite cut it for me in a 4min track. Same with the drums, the way they start out is pretty nice but it's never really taken to another level and the track is a bit to soft and attitudeless to just be an head noddling/dancable track =/ sorry if it didnt came allot of constructive or positive critism out of this post |

Potentially nice but with the cliched breaks it's just .. annoying. For people that find "Hello Everything" too hardcore. |

well i love cliched breaks and have used them dilligently forever, so i'm not too put off by them. not worse than using a roland drum machine in your tracks, really. all in all, it's quite enjoyable but a bit static. tune down the bass synth a bit, too loud! and the vocoder bit could do with a bit of highpass filtering, nothing extensive though. i think you should work more on the structure, not keep the same drones up forever. more dynamic stuff, like dropping out frequency fields and keeping the pace more interesting. yeah. but like i've said just about every time i comment on music, it's a subjective thing. it's just what i'd do, and no one's really correct here, so keep up! i actually miss the melodic oldschool amen stuff, and have been working on some myself lately after a few years of, well, not really touching it at all. no matter what people say about regurgitating old stuff etc., it's one of the niches i like to work in and i enjoy most of that music immensely, if done well. |

thanks, I couldnt have asked for much more constructive criticism. i think some mixing will solve a few of the issues but its hard to do since it clips and cuts out when I play it in the sequencer cause of the cpu... vocoder does need improving too. im not sure if i'll be able to salvage this :[ thanks for listening db, i like cliched breaks though |

yeah well Im really more than happy to just make music i'd like so db will never be in my fanclub. but I dont think ive managed it here, it sort of never goes anywhere after the first drop, im surprised i hadnt noticed how dull it was |

yeah, i think you should try alternating the melody more. |

I like it, I honestly do, I think it's a nice, moody, atmospheric track, it's just a matter of taste for me regarding the "breaks" aspect. I get the same thing with "Hello Meow" on the Squarepusher album, it starts out good and then as soon as the first "duh duh dssh dssh dssh duh dih dsssh dssh" break comes in you know exactly where it's going and you can safely skip to the end. And I don't agree it's the same as using a Roland drum machine (or sample pack), or indeed any drum sound, it's the pattern that's the stickler. But that's me. Dannn_'s said time and time again that innovation's overrated. That's fine, that's his view point, this is his music. You know, I'm just saying, in my opinion, aim a little higher, could be really good, but at this level, it's Track 18 on a LTJ Bukem mix from 10 years ago. I guess it just depends what you want to do with music, and there's no right or wrong. I must get off this fence, it's getting right up my scraggy arse. |

thank you for sharing your music with everyone dann_!!!!! |

i was thinking of the sound, really, and how original you can get there. as far as the sequence/pattern, there are natural constrictions, but yeah, all about taste. i get a little fuzzy inside when i hear the amen wrenched well. |

I suppose when I can make tracks like this that sound good enough, I might start aiming higher *self deprecates* |

it's absolutely lovely! I agree on the drums, though.. you could do something a bit more imaginative with them. of course, they work the way they are now and they fit nicely with the track, but you said you want to "finish it up better" so... |

actually, can you just send me everything but the drums and I could have a go with some microbeats and beatboxing.. and maybe a tuba and a didgeridoo... |

thanks my main man |

is a good track. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
my thoughts exactly. the beat machine used is not that disturbing. there's good flow which is more important imo |
||||||||
