On the kick build up you should toss an eq and automate it as a frequency sweep hi pass going from low to high back to low again.it will add a cool effect.just turn it on when the kicks start building up..At t he end of the 4 measure of your drop you have three arpegio stlye baslines if you take out two of those you could find space for something else. just do it once every 16 bars i find the best way to add new stuff is just to tear down what you already have keep some parts you like and just redesign a new part with key elelments of the first drop(now i havent done that in many of my tracks because i just analysed this from songs over the last week)Also if you go and take all the synths from the intro and cut them out before you build and add a totally new sound and a new pad thats very refreshing the ears.

Aside from that your tracks is sick! in my opinion.

here's two unfinished tunes big feedback would mean alot the first one is a deeper tune I've been working on and off on for, Im liking the way it sounds on my laptop and speakers so I tested it on different systems and speakers and it came out sounding odd to my original. Sorta off beat, not enough bass either, so please LET ME KNOW :| how it sounds on your system(s) and what you think. The next tune is just something I made for fun at first with sound design then progressed it with a percussion section, then added a quick SECOND DROP just for measures and evaluation, Its more of a "party type" like with Kromestar 'Monster Dub' or Coki 'Goblin' . Thanks for you time And sorry I made it so much for you to read : I hope you enjoy it and thats its not to much of a bother..

@Klesherdubs: sounds great, but no kick drum?
@Sydious: entire song sounds perfect to me, love the growls
@xistenzbass: personally not my kind of track, but I still enjoyed it

alright so I am at the final steps of a new Electro House track. The past few tracks that I have made I have gotten mastered by other people. For this track, I tried mastering it myself, even though I do not know everything about mastering. I just used an EQ and the Dada Life Sausage Fattener. I need advice, does my self-master sound good? Or would it be better to get it professionally mastered again?

@daftendirekt: I honestly enjoyed it , I don't quite often listen to electro house but im always open to alls types of music, and imho I really enjoyed, I was bobbing to the beat right at the start lol(: and your tune sounded clear and fluid and not clamping and clashing together so mastering for your first time in general it was good quality none the less. For the second track though its up to you but you don't won't to damage the listeners ear with the kick drum, its sounded nice just really intense but good.. Another btw is on my track idk if the kick is loud enough but yeah its there lol, im thinking of starting to practice and sidechain my kick and bass so they don't collide together..

Second track as in the one in my sig? If you are referring to the one I posted then what are you referring to about the kick sounding intense? Are you referring to the bass or mid frequency? Or the volume level? (sorry I can't tell which track you are referring to about the kick drum)

I like it a lot, maybe try adding a phaser effect to those synths in the intro and see if you like it! I'd also try adding a bit of reverb to your snare and see if that suits things any better.

I like that second song, but I think that ring type synth you have going on can be a bit irritating to the air when the song is played loud, or for me at least. I'd also recommend changing the speed of your synths to make things a bit more interesting. :)

I liked this track a fair bit! Had an interesting atmosphere to it, and those basslines were really catchy. :p
Great work!

Looking for some feedback? I'm extremely new to producing, don't know too much at all, probably about a month or so into producing and this is one of my first creations.

Hasn't been mastered or anything yet, this is not a finished track, just want some ideas so I have a basic grasp on where I want to go with the track from here.

Trying to make this a rather deep track!
Give feedback to 3 others before posting your tune.

@daftendirekt i am not to much aware of the genre but as far as i know you hit this pumping groove pretty well. i like the funky melody its not to commercial more like wonky. mixdown is nice hm only thing is the vocals they dont seem to fit in for me kinda cheesy maybe try something different to see how it works?

@sydious the volume is very low at this stage but i definitly like the short arpegiator sound thats gets longer until the break. the bass is kindy datsikesc when he was cool defintly nice maybe little bit more breakdowns and spaces to let the sound breath

@darigan pretty spot on! hm the low end is very nice did you try to let the bass come more in the midrgange occasionally? i mean it works nice this way but i could see this working out nice.

this my wip atm just a short fun tune for now but i want it to get it to the 3 min mark at least so some ideas how to get it tiny bit longer would be great

i like the bang your drums deliver, and your bass has some real feeling.

I would add some filter sweeps to your gameboy sound in the middle to give it some space and build-up qualities. maybe a riser right before the drop to bring it somewhere

really digging the vibe on this though.

Your low-end sounds a bit full in your mix and it sounds the very slightest bit fuzzy. If you have the chance, I'd try to sit down with someone who knows mastering and see if you can sponge up some tricks for yourself.

You could try adding some more instrumental stuff to your break in the middle, maybe some strings or something that rolls with the hip-hop of the vocals. Your sounds are intense though!

@BudSpencertron - Loving the sounds man but it sounds to me like the vocals are fighting the bass for space in the mix but overall awesome work mate.

@Sydious - sounding good, think your drums could be made ALOT punchier though try laying another snare that hits at the lower frequencies around 200hz, as for your kick, try some compression and EQ to help push it through the mix a bit.

@Klesherdubs - im liking the experimantation side of your track its a nice chilled vibe man, think if it had a kick drum though it would give it more of a groove

This is my latest WIP, would be nice to receive some feedback! thanks muchly :corndance:

@BudSpencertron like the comment on your song says, your sound design is out of this world. maybe turn your main sound down a tad. i like this song though.

@obzen i love that first drop. the way the bass drops with that airy wobble is so sick. your use of the vocals throughout was awesome.

@jaktonik try adding some variation in there. a drop with very subtle bass wobbles would be a cool addition in my opinion.


I just started this today cause i was really bored. i like where this one could go.
