@ sirminus

cheers for that mate, and yeah thats a fair call about the synths. kinda agree now that youve said it hah.

i like your track, great intro rolls really smoothly. i like the wind up pre drop. dig the bass also. really catchy. might just be soundcloud / pre mixdown but maybe kicksnare a bit punchier when the bassline is rolling.

@ mta, loving what you have done so far, when the beat kicks in you had me hooked haha

@ skydroid, tune is sick haha. i'd listen to it anytime!

@ Skaven. i like your song, very nice.

Here's what i'm cooking up atm. all feedback is welcome! cheers

@nibzdub

good drums ! like how the track flows together.

[nefarious]

ibscotty: I thought the sparse feel of the track and the sounds you've used are really good! In terms of constructive criticism I reckon the drum's could be a little more varied and the kick sounds a little too prominent and muddy (less reverb on the kick/more of a low cut on the eq should sort that out), also you could use some percussion/incidentals to add interest and maybe get some filter, reverb automation to add a little bit of sonic character. I really like the section after 3:09, maybe some more varience like that could come in sooner? Keep working at it and I reckon you'll have a nice head-nodder on your hands!

Ok, this is my first track that I am trying to complete as a whole and some input would be greatly appreciated from some of you veterans. I feel I have a very good ear for what I am trying to do I just need to learn what everything means. I think this has a lot of potential. Thanks for your opinions.

@Fatach: (Fat Cat Morning Stars) Ah I was sooo into this until it "dropped" honestly get rid of the drop the wobble and the horrible high pitched stuff. but if you insist, maybe someone more into that type of thing can help you out with.

haha, sorry for that! kinda into that though...

Build the intro up more, I like the idea of the part after the vocals, need to make the transitions work together, so it flows more. But I like the idea (also following you on soundcloud now)

sirminus

Love the intro, not to sure on the build up with the high pitched noise, but overall a very good WIP.

Grime Syndicate

Really love this track, want to hear the finished thing, Love the fact its more of a lead synth instead of wobbles. Nice pads in there to.

Here is a rough work out of a song i have been working on Great full of the feedback

[Snellvillain7]

Thank you for the response Digi. Transitions are so tough!!!!!!

As grime said, thats allllll mids. You need a beefy sub behind that. When i used to make subs with fl, i used 3x osc... very easy to make beefy subs, here is a vid i just found using fl9, hope it helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_eGsNVHDsY

ez

thanks dude! i appreciate that, i think i understand now, i just need to layer it under the mids correct?

[Chark]

Re-upping. Feedback?

Reworked it all a bit.

[Aez]

@pH-14 Good track overall, awesome vocals, but it needs more percussion!
@sirminus I really like that intro, but the switch up is a bit abrupt. I like that high screaming synth, the track gets boring after a while.
@nibzdub Drums and bass are okay, not much to say here, pretty avarage tune. Keep it up

Here's what i'm working on at the moment

hahaha i just hit that wall man, do you have aim by any chance or msn? maybe i can show you what ive done with the sub and you could possibly tell me what im doin right/wrong haha instead of taking the time to upload it to a site and here and all that shiet. i think the problem is now the lows are overpowering those mids

edit: okay so i put a limiter on it, did a lil more eq'in, and i came up with this, i think i got what everyone meant now, getting the sub to line up directly underneath was a bit tough so im not sure that its right especially with lfo and whatnot, please reassure me ahahaha

I'll have a listen when I get home =)

[Jaegunn]

here's a wip i've had for a while now.
i think i need to fix the into and middle a little.
let me know what you think in general

Soundcloud

[arfus]

@sqwuabblesmynig still not a lot of bass and the notes seem a little random, but I think you've got some potential.
@Jaegunn this sort of also lacks bass in some parts but the note progression of the lead and bassline are pretty good. sounds a little rough though as far as mastering. can't really pinpoint what it is since I'm still a noob too lol.
@aez that intro is sooooo sweet dude.

here's my track. def. unfinished, just want some early feedback.
Soundcloud

the one in my sig is also sort of a work in progress.

[dougriley]

@nibzdub: shit sound sick, needs some sort of drop perhaps?

@Digezt: wow, rythym is great, incredible sounds, really awesome soundscape...

@sqwuabblesmynig: CLASSIC sound

...here's a track i just stepped aside from, def a WIP, still needs a BASSLINE BAD... feedback appreciated!

@dougriley - like the synth in the intro and the squeaky wobbles later on, the drums feel lacking to me and your right it seriously needs a bassline because I found it very tiring to listen to after a while without one. got good potential.

@arfus - like the drums and the atmosphere in this, got some nice vibes going on, I was about to say it reminds me of sigur ros and then I saw it was a remix XD like what you've done with it, not amazing production wise but some nice ideas going on.

@aez - not really feeling your drums in this and the arps feel really generic and are a bit annoying :\ the drop lacks power which is a shame as the synth work after it is fairly good. Overall you've got some elements right but a lot of it is feeling very rough still and needs tightening up. The musical elements are lacking quite a lot!


Here's my latest WIP, anybody know what genre this is? I've been making it loads recently but have no idea what you'd actually call it :\
