I am working on a new track and taking my time and shit...but I am struggling. I have a collection of ideas which aren't 100% cohesive at the moment. There are sections sure to change (part of the melody which will deffo go but I left in this mixdown) and I was just wanting a bit of constructive feedback as to what you thing. Note: Unlike most of the stuff I spam this is almost full track length in its current form (about 3 minutes). Cheers. |

Hi Brian Dance - just finished listening. I think my favourite parts were the background parts... I mean, I thought the rest was well produced - although a tad static - but I liked those bits the best. May I suggest putting the background parts through an LFO Detune Trigger, and maybe adding a nice hip-hop-type beat and, perhaps throwing in a track-length sample of David Attenborough narrating about sea cucumbers? :D ... I liked when the bass came in, but thought it went too long without changing at all - maybe consider putting it through some kind of filter or gradually changing the notes? I liked the beats - again, maybe need to be shuffled as time progresses! ! |

That was cool. i think some of the melodic content could do with a little shift around. maybe a few extra little melodies would not go a miss. Apart from that the only advice i have is that you finish it. |

the drums could benifit from being a bit 'tighter'. and the plinky synths at the beginning could be dropped maybe. other than that it just needs a really good mix down to bring the track out fully. |
||||||||
|
|

Thanks for the comments...you have all just said what I was thinking I needed to do with the exception of Paul's David Attenborough sample :P The drums I am planning on tweeking at the end once the structure is there, the plinky synth is what I was referring to as needing to change at the beginning :) |

i like it. dislike the repeated melodic notes, until the ones that appear at 1:14, they're sweet. over all i really like it :) this is the first track of yours that i've listened to, do you have any favourites that you could link me to, lee? |
||||||||

Cheers :) The only two possibly, remotely, worth linking are: and |

i love where the fatter sound drops in (*contrasts great with the nintendo ish sound sof the start) but this tune seems to cycle to obviously if you know what i mean, i think its the beat it seems to stay the same with predictable fills, i think maybe if the beat built up more and droped away some what with the melodies rather than off and on, other than that i was really impressed got some lovely stuff going on, the levels are great imo and id deffo go buy it ;) |

i like dead of night better than the cheesy shit i write :) snapshot is wicked u should turn it into a longer song unles sof course thats just a clip? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really liked it, i liked the way it got bolder and bolder, more and more swaggering, perhaps like I imagine Ecnad himself as the night goes on. I didn't think it was repetitive at all, and the sound was crisp! |
||||||||
|

id idnt eman to imply it was reptative im having trouble explaining what i mean. the sections of the song seem to obvious i think it needs a lil more flow is all! meh it dont matter its great anyway i really like it |
||||||||
|

|
|
Cheers mate that made me chuckle :) Taff I know what you mean because I agree :) |
||||||||
|
|

|

bw thanks for the comments on the other two tracks...sadly I no longer have the source files for snapshot so can't continue it :( |

i didnt like the beat, it distracted me away from the melody plus it sounded a bit like a stock sample, the sounds not the pattern |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks for listening, but I am having some difficulty in understanding what you mean by stock sample...what sounded like a stock sample exactly? And at what stage does a sound become a stock sample sound and for what reason? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i always thinks a stock is one of the ones given in the music software, they tend to be flat and sound generic. i couldnt awnser the question when a sound becomes a stock sound with a reasonable awnser, so i wont. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well what part sounded stock then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the snare, bass drum and clap |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There are 4 independent drum tracks being used I think the "stock sample" sounds you are referring to are the 909 (which is the only one with a clap) which is sort of supposed to sound that way otherwise it wouldn't sound like a 909. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the drumtracks sound uninspired. I kind of like that weird melody thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Thanks for listening yo. Drums being worked on at this very moment... |

goddamnit you're RIGHT on TOP of this..! |

I am hoping so. |

not bad deffo finish because i actually half like this one |

Cheers, although your opinion obviously means nothing. |

One last bump before I disappear from the board again for a few days :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like it! The only comment I can think of is in the mixing. At the moment it's a good balance of everything but it'd sound like one piece if you used some fx to glue some stuff together. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cheers :) I have done some more work on it (not uploaded) and I still felt something was missing. I assume you mean like transistion effects? because I think that might just work nicely. I'm off to give it a try. :) |
||||||||
|

and.. he's.. OFF ladies and gentlemen! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

First of all its a nifty tune. I would say lower the snare in the mix or tweak it so that it compliments the rest of the track's elements instead of standing on top of them. |
||||||||

I didn't like this very much but have liked some of your other stuff posted in the past. Despite seeming to have the right software and knowing how to use it to have strong control of the sound, the general composition is a pretty weak aesthetically unattractive mess. The sound quality is good though. Those bell things early on sound like an impotent melody rather than part of the percussion/beat. Also the end didn't sound like a minimal encore but rather a "yes I'm still playing" while I was waiting impatiently with my mouse on the "clear" button in musicmatch. I have little idea how the software you use works but more interesting/complex/intricate beats can be made in trackers.. though not easy with that sound quality. |

Thanks for listening (brokephones too), it is one of those all too rare but pleasant occassions that I completely agree with you wMw. The end bit wasn't really meant to make it into the mix down and was something else I was doodling with. I completely agree that it is a "weak aesthetically unattractive mess". I have spent my time so far getting to know the software packages and being able to work with a sounds the way I want to work with them...now I have a LOT of work to do to get the composition right. Thanks again. |

I liked this, the rave stab made me smile....at 1:14 it really gets going and then the eerie synth towards the end is great. The only thing I wasn't so keen on were the drums, The patterns were good in places and so were the sounds (did i hear a slice of a famous hip hop break in there?) The bit I would work on is the dynamic. Turn down the snare a bit and use some modulation like auto-panning let the beats breath a bit. U should try and get this finished tho, its a good track. |
