Thanks for the kind words. You should be able to download from the soundcloud. If it's not working, hit me up and I'll send you a 320.

@TRaffikz: Should I expect the american terrorist ep soon, featuring bin laden's cave and north korea? Cool stuff.

Hah. That'd be a brilliant name for an ep mate ^^. Nah, dunno if i can get these released, i might just give em out for free

Solid, solid track you posted there mate! Love the vocals!

@ Bledbox - Good track mate, production is really top notch. A nice twist on the original. I must say though that the track is too bright. On arrangement, I think you could have brought in a extra synth or a lead bass to keep it a bit more interesting. The dnb track is of good production again, the hats once again sound a bit too bright to me. The drums sound a bit robotic too, maybe a more organic samples could help. I think you don't do anything too interesting to the drum patterns, you either use too many hats in one place than the other or you just stick to one pattern for too long of a period. To be honest the tracks aren't my style but your production is quite impressive.

@ kaiori breathe - Really lovely synth at the beginning of the track, and the reverbed guitar (?) sounds really nice too. The bass is not very interesting, and sounds quite tame. Maybe compress it or add slight distortion to give it warmth, if that doesn't work use a different patch with more weight to it. I think the drums are ok, once again they sound quite tame. No warmth or groove really, I think some shakers or cleverly arranged hats could help. I mean I know what you're trying to do with the track but it just sounds like it's been copied and pasted quite a lot.

@ LTUK - From the intro I can tell that I'm going to enjoy this one. I'm a massive fan of minimal. The use of the crackly sounds is really well done. The samples you use for the drums are really nicely arranged, and has such a groove. The intro synth is absolutely sublime. The synth work in general is really original, same with the arrangement and melodies. Ye man, I really really like this. Mixdown is on point. The only thing I could suggest is experimenting with pads for the track? Maybe it could draw out the track to 5 minutes with the right progression and arrangement technique. I actually would love a 320 if it's going about.

I'm sorry if I come across harsh in the critiques but I would rather give out a paragraph of what's wrong than a line of what's good. I appreciate all comments on my track too, I think I realise where I'm going wrong now.

Now to the literate--

@Centauri- Very cool melody, maybe switch it up a bit more often.

@TRaffikz- Huge. I think you have both the deep and bro heads pleased with this one.

@HomeNoiseRecord- Nice, but I think your wob needs more than just dbglitch. The vox is kinda over saturated with reverb as well.

@LTUK- Besides the mixdown, everything sounds great. Love the rhythm of it.

@jakedubber- Loving your bass. Excellent syncopation.

@ pain- Pro, can't say much else other than that was beautiful. Kaiori is also one of the only people I trust here so good job. Is this downloadable?

@Sinisterbeats- Awesome, love your sub and atmosphere.

@phoxache- Great wobs, and that girl squealing is priceless. This is a rump

So these are my most recent projects. Any and all comments will be appreciated.

To be fair, the rules are still the same as when you used to give critiques.

yea yea my bad bro im new to this forum didnt realize a new thread was posted this month so yea ill be commentin on peoples tracks on this next post.

Dubsac - Loving the drumstep!!! the drums are fresh and crisp the snare cuts nicely through the mix. the basslines are straight gold thats a tight track!!!

Phoxache - Such a tight intro!!! awesome noises a really clear bass. nothing else i can say but just sick sick sick track!!!! =D

Traffix- Loving the slower wobble in bin ladens cave its awesome! was it made in reasons maelstrom? just curious. anyways nice track 320?

Drip-Drop is my collab duo we just finished "BlindFold" i would love to hear what you think! we only use reason 5 and feedback/tips would be appreciated thanks!!!!

Disclaimer, I am listening through laptop speakers so I'm unlikely to be able to give much in the way of production criticism, I'm mainly going to be working the melody and obvious synth mcguffin.

Fo-Shizzle- I love the style man, the drums sound phat (although see disclaimer) and I like the synth business. The drums switch up nicely also. I personally would like a bit more in the way of a melody, but I honestly don't know where it would fit, so pretty much ignore that. Phat all round!

Rat Race Producing - I really like that playful style man, its a good fun track. Love the almost G funk synth over the top. Everything sounds in its own space, but once again see above. Nice track!

Dubberz Crew - I like the wobble variations, they are nice and slippery (if you know what I mean). If I will be honest the main synth does sound a bit generic wubstep, but thats down to preference I suppose. And I like the fact that you keep developing the melodies and bass, however if you could do that with the drums as well you would have a truly sweet track. Nice work.

Sorry about posting more orchestral music, I know it's not really in keeping with the forum, but any websites for composers of orchestral/classical are full of people who tell me huge amounts of music theory I have no idea about.
Preferably looking for feedback in the production area, as in how the track sounds in terms of balance and mixdown (or lack thereof).
Safe!

Thank you to everyone for what you all said about the electro house I'm making, getting a positive response from it

I've got 2 more tracks which I've decided to post, they're in a 'promo' mix of all the house I've done.
The first is called 'Somewhere' and was a lot of fun to make... you'll see why. And the second is a massive party song which samples Tag Teams classic 'Whoomp The It Is'

Also kind of unrelated but wanna get people aware of it, I've started doing 'Bledcasts', a series of live mixes featuring special guests and different styles etc Episode 1 is a dnb/dubstep mix and Episode 2 features Bled Templars Alliance for an electro house stompout! video quality and time limit will be improved from Episode 3 onwards!

Going to America tomo so I'll leave some feedback now

@Shirka I made a comment on one of your tunes in my last post, I can't remember whether its the same one on your soundcloud or if youve changed it but you have done a really really great job with this track. Such a dark atmosphere and the big grimey bass works so well with the kick at pushing the track along! In terms of criticism I'm not actually sure what to say, I cant judge your mixdown (speakers are knackered). but seriously I think this is a really well constructed song, so much depth and so many layers to it, I think the percussion is amazing and i love it when a pad shines through the mix. I wish I could make a track like this, and I have tried many a time! Hats off to you sir!

@Blanx like the idea of the track and the sounds you're using are cool but I'm not keep on the drums to be honest, the track has quite a lot of space in it so i think the snare could benefit from some reverb and maybe get a more consistent hi hat pattern in there to fill the track up a bit

@EDN I don't think theres a rule saying you can only dubstep, otherwise I've broken it many a time... I'm currently writing an opera. sound like such a dick saying that. but yeh it makes me really appreciate your track, you are very good at composing and the sounds are beautifu, what vst did you use to get them? really nice man i look forward to hearing more

will post some more later if i have time but need to pack!! peace everyone

My fault been busy lately with real life distracting me. I'm going to definitely do it tonight though. I'm still pretty fresh to ableton live and was wondering if there was any quick way to export all the stems? Cause right now I'm thinking I may have to solo all the tracks and export them one by one. I know in pro tools there is an apple-shift-K command that exports all your tracks real quick instead of bouncing them and I was looking for a similar feature. I'll google it later tonight when I have time but checking if anyone already has my answer here.

not sure to be fair, have you just got a decent wav. of the vocal?

EDN: This gave me goose pimples. As you want though, I shall concentrate on production. To be honest mate, i think this is very spot on. Sounds very natural, and organic, not over-compressed either. Great to hear life in music. I've often tried to do stuff like this so I know where you're coming from. I think my only issue is that flute (is it a flute?) panned right towards the end, gets a tad loud for me.

Blanx: Drums are very well produced. Love how they fill the mix. Drop was sweet too. Bass sounds are nice, but I think this piece could do with something else, feels rather empty . Need some synths after it drops, or maybe some hats to give me some high end! Its too low ended! VERY well written though.

Donpablo: Absolutely loved this. I usually post bits of feedback whilst listening, but I sat and listened to this ad then had to relisten to give the feedback. Your sub is the best I've heard in a long time. Love teh dream aspect of it. Drop is bang on the money. Drums have life, and punch to them, and are mixed well. I love the breakdown. I don't know what else to say really. I would buy this record if it were a famous artist, its that good.

Right, I've remixed an old tune of mine. Never posted the original here mind, but it's in a mix.
Soundcloud

As ever, MUCH appreciated

At work at the mo so will have a listen and give feedback on some tunes when I'm home.

Here's a new mellow tune I made in the last couple of days:
Soundcloud

@ Max. Sounding good as per usual man

@ debaser1. Nice intro. Kick distorting though. Funky drop, sort that kick out though, driving through my head with headfones on lol. Pull the melody out a bit more, that screechy thing, lower a little. Other, quite liking man.

@ donpablo. Nice intro, mad pads/atmosphere. Diggin it man. Maybe pull little melody synth out a little bit more!

@ EDN. Oh yea man, nice sounds on intro! Could be in a movie aha! Kinda reminds me of home alone when they're sneaking around. Ahok, it is an instrumental aha. Liking it alot!

Here's one I think i've just finished. Vocal sample, melodic, etc etc.

Soundcloud

maxtone - its sounds so clear, and oriental vibes just work beautifully mate big up
Centauri - mixdown was a bit much towards the highs but otherwise a very cool track, reminds me a bit of rustie
Dubsac - I like the groove, it chugs along pretty nice but i think there isnt enough switching things up, gets a bit samey past the middle.
foshizzle - corker mate! mixdowns tight as fuck and it stays fresh throughout.

sidereal 1 - intros boom, then it goes into freak mode i can see myself monging out to this in a corner somewhere, the speeding up towards the end fit nice too
2 - its very rocky, personally its too much bitcrusher for my liking but thats just me. Its got a great feeling about it nonetheless so well done
3 - best one for me, its the one with the most character i think, can see a style creeping out and thats what its all about so big up

dubberzcrew - love the groove of the bass on this, right up my street man



I have a couple of newish ones:

some stadium anthemic dubstep when it drops, i can't help but thinking it sounds a bit too cluttered at the first drop, the atmospheric swooshy thing is just a tad loud i think.

nice feel to the track tho, but i would have liked some more variation in drum patterns. big up tho

Debaser1 wrote:Soundcloud

i like the intro but i think the kicks are just too loud. same thing goes with the drop, the drums and that synth just overpower the intro melody to the point that its barely audible. mite have just been the effect you were goin for but i would turn the drums and everything in the drop down a tad so their roughly the same volume

i like the funky take on dubstep tho
