WORKS-IN-PROGRESS for OCTOBER, 2010

[LordBid]

@DLOGREZYRB - Your track has a very interesting feel, the mixdown sounds pretty good, those bass noises seem like they could use a little bit of work. I think the problem I have with this track is that it just doesn't seem to have the energy that some of those samples and noises suggest, Your overall groove just doesn't do it for me enough perhaps I think the drums could use a little more variation cus that strait kick on one snare on 3 doesn't seem like enough to keep it going. Just my two cent's though, hate to sound like a dick.

@Wabble - Yea I agree with previous comments, your wobbler guy does not have enough presence in the mix somehow there is some weird compression stuff going on for sure not sure what that is. lovein the drum work though obviously you spent a lot of time on it and it is well thought out. I think some more time spent on this and it will be goin pretty good once it has an intro etc... Overall mixdown probably could use some work.

@Erebus-7 - sick drums man, they have a great feel and that re verb is just right. I guess my problem with these more ambient sounding tracks is that they really need to have groove to keep them going otherwise I think people tend to get a bit bored with them as they don't have all the crazy variations and stuff that your standard "banger" tune does. Thus I think your low wobbly guy is not helping out those awesome drums as much as I would like to hear. maybe give it some breaks, play around with the speeds and stuff and get something sick going. As this is obv just a start on the song ill stop there but maybe give that bass idea some thought because when your going for low and subby with those shuffly drums you really need to get ya groove on.

@projekt - I think maybe your hihats are a little bit loud and piercing, and there is a little too much reverb on your drums overall. This song has a lot of hi-end right now. while your various melodies are pretty cool very chilled out but do not really give this the vibe or drive of a dance song, if you don't care about that then that is cool too!

Ok im re-upping this wip for some more feedback. I know the levels are not all 100% correct right (edit* is there something wrong with my sub? it sounds fucked up like there are upper level frequencies on soundcloud but I do have a cold right now and some extra ear gunk so im not sure.) now but they are being constantly fucked with. the last 16 bars are new addition and I just threw them together. Tell me what ya think! I hope you like your techno fucking hard! And ofc ill gladly return feedback!

@ ogunslinger - dude that sucks sorry i missed you but here is my two cents on your track. I really like the melody and that synth you got going there. I think those radical volume changes in the beginning are a little bit distracting and could be toned down. I think your drums get lost in the mix like your (midrange)bass is a little bit loud in the mix and as a result the snare doesn't really stick out and the kick is almost lost except for the really low freqs, try giving it a bit more clicky UMMMPHHH. And that synth that comes in around 3:35 minutes sounds atrocious and out of place, do something about it. There are also parts in this song where the same thing plays over and over again for way to long and gets kind of boring, switch it up a bit with some interesting drumwork or something. Its a great start and like I said that melody is a great hook, its still playing in my head after the song.

Here is one i've put together in an hour or some ni intro or anything, just the main bits feedback welcome good or bad.

Thanks

Sounds quite interesting, I like it. Seems like you've worked hard on it because everything fits well. Maybe throw in a low sub and some light complementing melody?

Cheers mate, There is a low slow in there with a fast lfo. Level maybe too low :p

I'm working on melody just finding it hard will post an update soon!

Thanks alot for your feedback

[ogunslinger]

lol the synth that comes in at 3:35 or w/e is a new window for massive that somehow was left on and just the defualt preset i think funny that somehow i left it on

and thanks, basically just started this yesterday, the drums may sound that way right now because its just 1 big drum loop :p

hopefully over the next few days I'll adjust volume levels n' tweak everything so it sits nicely in place and then finish up the drums

edit: did some stuff to it, cut some stuff out + added some bass n stuff :p

[amphibian]

this is my newest wip, had abit of a break from production lately due to alot of shit going down and not much time/brain power to spare but yh, lemme know what you think !

Soundcloud

cheers guys !

I disagree what has been said by others in that the piano.etc. doesn't fit. In my mind - it doesn't fit perfectly, but to say it doesn't fit at all I think is incorrect. However, the bassline is a bit flat (as has been said), but I didn't find the drums muddy either - but then could be the headphones I'm listening on.

[CBK81]

Easy guys, been a while since i posted a preview! Just started this Gold Dust remix for the competition. Going for a DnB / Drumstep thing, any thoughts, good or bad

I fuckin love it!

Really could use as much feedback as possible on this one, im stuck :/

[Nacklewicket]

everyone skipped me too lol

id rather hear my shit sucks ballers than no feedback at all,

[ironik]

@ projekt: nice chill song loving the drums.

@remokari: you got a beast on your hands there 2.55 onwards is unit loving it, would love to hear this one finished

@ponte_ricky: real chill ay something for studying i supposed? thinkin mode? maybe turn the drums up a bit otherwise real mint tune it must take some thought making something that chill

@ogunslinger: real evil soundin tune, i quite like it, maybe change up your drums a bit and put some sub bass in?

@nacklewicket: intro sounding good with the chimes coming in slowly. liking the chimes tht come in at 1.23, nice percusion through the track loving the shakers.
the whole thing seems real clean which is nice, this tunes great zone to out to huh not really feeling the synth that comes in at 2.25 but you could probably just put that down to preference so don't mind me.

as for me heres something ive been working on for past few days
Soundcloud
be as harsh as you want and the outro has some static which will piss you off so maybe skip that part 3.29 onwards thanks

[Craggle]

@ ogunslinger

Liking this a lot, it flows really nicely, has a good melody, and the bass sounds are nice ! if i were you id focus more on making everything mould together a bit more, the drums need to be brought up and made a little more punchy, and while the bass sounds are really nice, they aren't as in your face as they could be ! but overall good work bro !

@ lordbid

Loving this one, like you said the levels on it need working on ! but apart from that its sick, good build up, good drop, good flow, hit me up when this is finished ! oh and the sub was sounding fine to me !

@ jak-a-tron

The intro to this is awesome, has a really nice flow to it, proper reminds me of Meta-Lick which is good thing, the bass is really nice, like the way you switch the automation on the wobbles up al ot, keep up the good work !

Here is my track, don't normally make heavy stuff ! so curious to see what people think ! cheers guys

i kno its hard to say much from a 8 second clip but what do yall think of this drum loop?

[Steeple]

@ jakaton - the tune sounds dirty and grimey just the way i like it nice work dude ,,, and it does remind me a lot of meta lick but with your own twist pon it

@ nicorisone - my type of track buddy ... minimal its the way forward!

@ craggle - not feelin the bro step sound mate ... its not bad , but not a fan

@tripwire 22 - drum pattern sounds neat bro likin em electo sound in there nice work

[drummerpig]

@Craggle - I like the wet-sounding synth you got going on, but at the same time I feel it's a little overkill. Once you start mixing up the sounds toward the middle and end of that clip it feels a bit better to me.

@tripwire22 - Nice loop. That would sit real nice with an atmospheric track or something to veg out to.

@Steeple - I'm digging hard on the dark vibes you have going on. Very simple and pleasing. I'll keep a lookout for a finished version.

This is a House song I've been working on. Let me know what you think.

[HAACK]

@Olux: Quality production, proper remix, dirty tune.

@Kievccs: Really enjoyin your tunes, tracks sound very warm. If you'r concerned about your bass being muddy try putting a limiter on it just so you dont exceed the dynamic content of the lower frequencies, this should give you head room to work while still gettin a proper bass.

@Remokari: Easy girl, good to see more Russian dubstep producers comin around here, track has a lot of potential but definitely needs some bits eq'd/compressed, snare sounds really far away.

[Lazure]

@@ogunslinger def sick start to a track! just feels a little cold and empty try throwin in a pad or a gated something or other you know??
some background texture to help fill it out casue it just sounds like a few sounds ontop of eachother.. just my opinion thoo nice track!

@amphibian illll deff some underwater jamzz break even is a sick track all around i could def get sloppy or lifted or just chill to that track very handsome lul
keeeeeeeep atit homie

@tripwire ill drumloop nice hats love it everything sounds good

@drummerpig throw som reverb or something on that flute to soften it up and give it a little flow and get that kick a bit more punchy but otherwize
sick tune! love the bass

alright work in progress bassline is gona be changed up casue its shitee and whole tune kinda in bits but still i would love some imput Plezzzzz

@ Haack - mate your tune is sounding awesome MY TYPE OF SOUND ... went on your soundcloud and got on the dl ... you need 2 send your stuff out to people ... especially distance as he dedicates n hour of his show to new talent ... but yer feeling your sound mate keep it up

@ lazure - the vocal sample is sick ... but the track aint my cup of tea buddy

@ drummerpig - the flutes are sick ... but you could make it more housey ... more punch on the kicks mate defo!

@ jakaton - the tune sounds dirty and grimey just the way i like it nice work dude ,,, and it does remind me a lot of meta lick but with your own twist pon it

@ nicorisone - my type of track buddy ... minimal its the way forward!

[jak-a-tron]

@Lazure - Love the intro although maybe you could of cut the drums a couple of bars before the drop for a more dramatic drop but thats just my opinion i guess. Was expecting some real deep wobble to come in but sounding good.

@tripwire22 - nice flowing loop there, has a nice groove to it sounding nice along with synth

@Craggle - i quite like this actually, nice drum layout fits well with your mids. some nice switching up of the bassline keeping my attention. nice work.

@Lordbid - Not bad for the sorta style your going. not sure bout the wobble at 1.20 just doesnt fit well i don't think. Maybe add a few more effects give it a bit more atmosphere. Drums sound pretty good throughout.

Check my signature please wanna get this tune finished up so need all the feedback i can get
