Hey man, this is a nice tune but I don't think it would have done any harm to lose the plinky plonk synth on the first drop and just have the drum, bass and little fx motif sounds for a while... Other than that, nice track though!

Thanks for your honesty! I actually made a version a little while ago that did just that, and was also about 45 seconds shorter...I think I might just upload that one and give it away for free, since I don't really have enough confidence in the tune to give it to any labels.

Any thoughts on this? It sounds kinda amateur to me, but I can't tell if that's because I've just heard it too much, or it's my first tune in Cubase, or it was pretty much conceived as a tool for my live sets.

Thats siiiiick man!!

Wasn't expecting that! Thank you! Always good to hear something like that

Its a little bit short... I made it for the days you want to lie down with your head against the sub

BTW im pretty new forums so if the soundcloud doesnt work, its just me being a tard.

I like the intro, the piano rhodes sound is great, and I like the wobbley pad in the background. I like the drum sounds, and the general ambience. I think you could maybe flesh the bassline out a littleas goes... Oh yeah to do a bit. I also think you could change the piano a little, maybe even just drop it for a while and re-introduce, just to keep things changing a bit. Also with the drums I recommend not panning to widely, and to reduce the stereo of the snare - this will make the drums sound a little bit tighter. But overall a good job, especially considering you have been at it for 6 months. My 6-months beats were certainly not post worthy lol!

Your track was very interesting. I do like some wobble but I am not the biggest fan (just to let you know )

I thought the speed and the notes of the bass were good, and the simple hard drums suited the style. I thought that the actual sample of the wobble, while quite good, could have been a little "juicier" - I thought it sounded a little bit dry - but I guess that is what we're all trying to do: get nicer sounds. But also that could have been the exact sound you wanted! The best part of this track was the change to the b line which I pointed out in your soundcloud - it probably sounded extra good because it had the other wobble in front, it was a good progression of the sound. I think you could possibly put a little reverb on the snare (or a little more if you already have) - just to make that sound a bit fuller too. Overall though nice work, definitely getting those wobbles undercontrol

I really liked the drums and percussion on this track - with that little drum playing it's own melody, and I'm always a fan of shakers for a shifty feeling. ANd the night noise sample is fantastic - great choice of sample there. The sub was very solid too, although I was not so sure about the wobble over the top - it sounded to me like it was supposed to be it's own part (as in not following the sub bass) - is that what you were thinking? Anyway I thought that wobble sound could be developed a bit more - you could put a little bit of reverb on it, or distort it with overdrive or a bit crusher so get some more harmonics in there to make it sound a bit fuller maybe... Good job for your first full length tune, that is a serious milestone

Here is a track I made about 6 months ago. It's not my best work in the production department, but I did enjoy trying a long progression with an orchestral type thing going on

yo this is one of my first complete tracks.....gets very chill in the middle....please take a listen and give feedback.....greatly appreciated

I like this... the main 'wobble' could do with some eq'in tho. Maybe you could automate some delay on a few parts like the snare - but don't go OTT (or do, if thats your style lol).
By the 3min mark its got a bit repetitive, maybe introducing a new synth to complement the main one, or make it take over the main link. Either way, it definitely needs some kind of change up.
The breakdown at 3:30 could do with some ambiance on top of it - like more of that heavy reverb'd sound you got goin on in this section.
Overall tho, I'm feelin the vibe - just needs more variation and additives.

Here's something I've been working on this week and I feel is finished, its a bit more chilled and progressive. I'd appreciate some views - feedback will be returned. Cheers;

I have to agree about the over all structure, it gets boring after a while with that wobble... I have to disagree about EQing the wobble though, I think it sounds fine, IMO the track just needs restructuring to stop it getting repetitive... Wobbles are naturally fatiguing to the ear so when the track is 4 minutes of wobble with no major variation other than LFO speed change, it starts to be like 'damn man, break down already'...

Whats happenin Forum!

Just finished this. Tried to make it a bit oldschool and give it some hype. The tunes called 'tough love' if you follow the link to my soundcloud cos the player isnt workin

See what you think. And if you comment on mine I'll comment on yours

Soundcloud

Completed version of a track I made when I first started out, and it's 10 times better now,

Hit me with some thoughts.
