K thanks npcompl33t and BudSpencertron and everyone and sorry about not giving the critiques,
npcompl33t I think your probably right about the compression. I added light compression on the master so ill mess with that more. but it could have to do with the side chaining on the kicks not sure, Its just odd because i don't hear that scratchiness when its not on soundcloud but rather this other feint sound of dirt that i didn't intend. I've also never had this issue on my other tunes.

Anyhow,
@ Klesherdubs- Really dig the drop, perhaps make the kicks shine through more but i dunno, the reverb and echo are also cool. :)
@The Other Drug- Awesome song, perhaps get it to sound even wider? :? Such an energetic tune though! 8)
@ Sinestepper- Already sounds really nice and clear, that one in your signature also is crazy, loved it.

Clodmeister that squidbass track is so wired haha, I think the mix sounds fine to me though. if it was me I would remove that white noise but that's personal preference :D I would probably put a reverb on the snare too but thats just me :P
Edit: Ps thanks for the feedbackssss

So I only got feedback from 2 people even though I gave a load to others, so I figured I'd post some more for people in an attempt to receive some more :P

@dougriley: Nice dark intro and a good use of samples. Your main bass is nice too. Not really sure to suggest for this, the only thing for me is it sounds a little empty - I know it's a deeper style track but perhaps a sort of ghostly piano lead may sound good as a progression towards the end of the track?

@Paradoxx: Yeah the intro isn't great :P If I'm honest the drums are uninspiring, try and liven them up a little with some more hits and panned hats, maybe play about with some tom fills too. You have nice variation, but the basses and synths need glueing together better to improve the whole overall feel - try bussing them together with the sub and maybe applying a saturator and/or comp.

@4rantare: Track's unavailable?

@Udyret: An improvement for sure, not really sure what to suggest- perhaps try and work on bringing out the drums and lead melody.

@The Other Drug: Intro sounds like a hardstye track :P Love the samples aside from the siren - that gets annoying quickly. Bass sounds good albeit slighty over distorted, perhaps to add further variation you could mess with stereo width of the mid region of your bass. I like the tempo switches and the drums sound fairly clean. Quite a cool track man.

@VirusTI: I still standby what I said before about the reversed perc on the intro and the kick/snare - they need work. The drums really need livening up to get the track pumping - even consider sidechaining your synths. At 1.45 the synth sounds distorted - not sure if thats intentional? Try and get your synths sounding cleaner and mix the drums better as I mentioned to get it sounding tight.

@Burgeamon: I like the original of this track, so it's hard to for me to contrast your remix however the drop was surprisingly good - like the KTN "ahh" sample you've used too. Really nice production man, I'd genuinely suggest sending it to KP via Twitter or something - they're notorious for playing good fanmade remixes in their sets.

@BudSpencertron: Definately sounds cleaner - still think you should consider some more perc hits like toms/bongos and panned hats. Good job though.

@Clodmeister: I wasnt going to comment on your track since you gave no feedback, but then I listened to it, not wanting to sound like a dick but your lead synth and melody is genuinely fucking annoying to listen to, I just don't like it at all, just personal preference I suppose.

@Tad: Nice and clean intro - sounds good. Nice drop too - I like the droney bass a lot, however it needs more sub frequnecies (perhaps even slightly saturated triangle based sub). Not much to suggest really as all the elements sound good, finish this track up!

@npcompl33t: Nice into, the synth and drums sound full and clean, good buildup too. Love the Glados samples :P Since this is electro house, I would suggest at some points chopping in an ultra heavy saw synth that isn't as stereo spread as the saw bass you're using and cutting the lead synth at those points. Also you need to work on your kick, snare and hats - the kick gets lost, sidechain it. The snare/clap needs more snap - bring out the top end. You need more hats to make the percussion swing, perhaps use two slightly panned apart on alternate hits. Good effort though, it's got solid potential :a:

Sinestepper: Those drum hits on the intro are nice, really nice - the whoe perc on the intro is spot on. Although after the drop the "clangy" drum gets slightly repetitive and annoying, perhaps every few hits use the same sample but down pitched to add variation? Nice job though.



My track again, hoping for some more feedback :P

@sinestepper
Haha thanks man, but do mean that white noise at the beginning, because the noise on the drop is what im trying to get rid of ha. Il see how the snares sound with more verb to, thanks for the advice :corndance:

@mthrfunk
Sorry you didn't like it man, I posted feedback later, but I should have posted this when there was more weird shit ha, I don't usually make tunes like that but it was fun to make

@mthrfunk- Anyway the leadups pretty cool, perhaps i would maybe lower the bass in your drop and gets some more air in there but thats just me. I dig your blackout-wip in your sig though. :)

Left feedback on some soundclouds: GNRL, mthrfnk & clodmeister.
My track is in my signature, like I said in the signature please forgive the kick distortion, the WAV does NOT sound like that, and it is entirely soundcloud's doing. that said please enjoy, leave some feedback
Demo, forgive the distortion, it hasn't seen mastering and it's soundcloud:

@Krinj
Mate Thai track sounds pretty sick if i imagine the kick without the distortion, are you sure it isnt clipping? either way i love the mid range bass and the sort of stomping rhythm you have its very half time :)
all in all you just gotta get those kicks in shape :P
Thaks for the feedback too mate

I'm pretty sure it IS clipping, I'll have to render a quieter version, I have bad ears and shitty headphones so I work really loud. Thanks a bunch man.
if you guys will wait around a bit I'll play with uploading a version that doesn't clip.

Yeah man, when I first started out, I used to have a nice monitor set up but I've moved and no longer do, and it's harder to get the right sound on blown headphones, I haven't even heard any of my recent stuff on anything half decent, I appreciate the feedback, once again.

Thanks a bunch man, putting this and a couple tunes together on an EP for release soonish. I liked your tune too, like I said I think I'd have to be in the right mood but you should definitely go somewhere with that wonky sound of yours, clean it up and add more automation, it's pretty cool, like I said, mad blunts to that.

Right fellas, new one has significantly less distortion, what is there I might leave just to keep the quality down off the EP. but it's the same URL.

@krinj - have you considered changing the synth? i like the track overall (i dont usually like that style but it reminds me of 16bit haha). if the main "wobble" was a more percussive sound (like something Jakes or Coki would have) i think it'd have more effect, just my two cents. great track anyway.
