@Alexandercunningham: nice dude! i like this super chill stuff. reminds me of some of shlohmo's stuff. bass is nice, only thing i'd suggest is mixing up the vocal or not using it as much. it gets a little bit repetitive. dope track though. @dial back: like this man, pretty chill. snare/clap seems a ...

@dotcurrency: i really like the ambient intro and how you slowly bring everything together. this shit gets crazy pretty quickly though, in a good way. drop is fucking solid, mix is great. you got yourself a nice upbeat club tune for sure man, i dig it. @stargazer: damn this synth is groovy man! i th...

willryan042 -- I know what your intention was, I think it can sound good so long that you get them in the right key. I do the same type of vocal processing as well but you have to make sure they compliment the notes of your instrumental appropriately. I like the instrumental. ahhh i hear you. yeah ...

@willryan042 I think your instrumental is not bad, but the fact that the vocals are so violently out of pitch makes it harsh on the ears. You should focus on getting the vocals in pitch with the rest of the track. I like some of the musical ideas though. could you elaborate a bit more? i don't mean...

@HimanshuVikal: Like the 8bit-esque synth in the intro. Nice synth work overall, drums sound a little weird (not sure if it's intentional), kind of distorted. Nice tune so far, I'd like to hear it again when you add more. @jetpack: kick seems a little soft, not quite punching through the mix as much...

Definitely going to check this out. Hopefully I can translate it to produce some results in Ableton.

I really doubt that's true if you need to ask how to make an intro...

Sup guys, it's been a while since I poked my head in here but I'm glad I did. I'm hearing a lot of nice stuff. @npcompl33t: nice job for a first effort. snare sounds a little weak, maybe the synth is just a little overpowering. since it's an electro track, I'm assuming you want the drop to stand out...

Godammit I suck.

I'm trying to figure out how he does that really high pitched, almost female sounding voice. I know it's more that just pitching a clip way the fuck up, but I'm stumped. One quick example I found was about 52 seconds into "Why Don't You Call Me," but if you listen to Blake I'm sure you've ...

Tierex and thisisnot, read the rules

@MikeyP : Dreamy vibes my man! Sensing some bassnectar influence in here, I like. I know you said you're gonna remix it so maybe you'll solve this then, but the snare could use some extra punch. Kick sounds spot-fucking-on though. Really liking this. Shouts from the 708 ;) ohhhh myyy gooooddddd dud...

Thanks, checking these out now!

Been a while since I've popped my head in here, let's see what you guys are working with. (Disclaimer: I'm listening to all these with my cans, so my feedback might be kind of skewed) @Hircine: Not sure what to suggest, but I agree that the intro needs some work. It's either too long or just needs s...

I'd also like to know of any good compressor vsts out there.

Also, what's the {DIV} in that equation chaddub? Everything else makes sense.

Ahhh so it's not really a feasible thing to do. I was afraid of that, but thanks for the info fellas.

I've been making mixtapes in Ableton just by warping and whatnot, but I can only mix stuff around 140bpm (or something close enough to warp to 140). How do I mix in dnb? Is it something with automating tempo?

damn! was just about to check this out too but it's private

so about that tutorial....

oh don't worry legend4ry, i've had city music and rub the ego for some time now
