WORKS-IN-PROGRESS for OCTOBER, 2010

[tripwire22]

Here's something i've been working on of late. I'm a newbie producer, have been dabbling with it for years but have never given production the time required to actually get good. I have about 20 unfinished tracks i've been fucking about with over a few years. Any tips or feedback of how to get my stuff sounding "tight" is much appreciated.

Hoping to crack down in my free time and get a few more up I also have the world's worst monitors. I'm going to invest in proper ones soon, but is it worth Eqing etc in my Senheisser cans too?

Be gentle please

any feedback would be great

tripwire 22 nocturne-wip :I like the choird in the intro , the drums fit good with the feeling , a little lo-fi but good .

swangsong :creepy intro ¡ like the noise that you add , not so much the chords in the synth , maybe you could do something more dark to fit with the background noise . i don't like the vocals samples too , i don't know , dont feel your tune too much , sorry.

trafikkz: i don't know what to say , not feeling the sounds you use , you track leave me with a sad feeling after hearing , that not good i guess.

hakka :wow a song based in Lovecraft can't be bad ¡¡¡ , well done mate , really like your tune.maybe the lead line is a little upfront , maybe add some delay , chorus o turn down the volumen in that.

gonzodj:don't like the intro , sorry , is too boring for me ,maybe add a little something to it , and man your snare is way too loud ¡¡ , maybe put a bass line in some place , keep working , not feeling your tune too much , sorry.

@ Quasy - Thought it all worked well together. Not usually my kind of track but i enjoyed this. Nice melodies. Definately think another couple of leads will compliment the harmony of the track.

@ Sparxy - Nice dark tune mate. It might benefit from a lead over the stab bass, or a little more variation imo. Sounding good so far.

@ Zuta - Love this track dude. Really cool vibes. Love the builds.

Here's something i've just started working on. Kinda going for a harder vibe. Still much to do but i'm keen for feedback before i start work again. All appreciated as usual

a new drum loop im crankin out alot of things lately

[hakka]

@ Mind Control - Nice Ambient beat man, sounds like some dark chanting music. Got the Ambience down to a t. Cant wait to hear more!
@ Zuta - Amazing FX on the track! Wish i could make stuff like that, design and production is top notch. Great Track!
@ Tripwire - Nice perc in that mate, drums sound crisp and bass is weighty. Top job!

[a.paul]

@tripwire thanks for the tips! will be working on it some more today. never thought of compression haha but techno stabs bit would probably fit well!

Unmixed/mastered, sounding priiiiddy terrible mixdown wise at the minute but some EQ and drum variation will get it banging, thoughts please, my feedback at 10 when dinner isn't cooking/United have played!

love where this i going got a nice hype feeling to it

[hakka]

Nice track Jaydot, definately got some energy in there!

[reignstep]

- Jaydot: just abit too many kicks for my taste , otherwise it's pretty cool mate, sort out your levels and i'm sure i'll go right down on the dancefloor.

- tripwire: it's nice man, but not one of the best things i've seen you make. defo something you could work out though

- Olux : the bass reminds me alot Distance, good job on the drums too. The automations are next level man but the flow is totally missing. I couldn't really imagine myself going wild on it. Work on that and it'll be damn good

- Zuta : I like your idea, but your midrange is dominating your bass , and you don't want that the energy/darkness is really good but i'd turn down those higher pitched synths abit and let the bass do the talking. on a second note , this reminded me alot of psytrance tracks i've listened

- Sparxy : I agree with what tripwire said, the snare sounds too flat. also there's some clipping midrange which kinda hurt my ears while i was listening

- a.paul : off to a good start for a nice laidback tune, needs some filling up though and abit more flow in it

Worked abit more on my remix , imo it's starting to sound the way i intended it

tripwire: nice, gave me goosebumps

[willg]

cheers

@ Reignz: Still a WIP? Sounds wicked already. On a technical level there isn't much i can advise you (also,
that'd be a bit awkward). Wobblz are great, vocal is pretty nifty. Only element i don't really like
is the sound @ 1:01 (the one that stealth elf likes). Overall superb track, finish it!

@ Jaydot: Loving the ideas. For some reason i feel that the track could use some more vocal samples. Also,
i'd cut down on the amount of kicks. But i think it's dope already!

@ Olux: Wow, filthy yet such a clean mix. I like it very much, but it could use some more elements imo.
Feels a bit empty at times. Not a big fan of sung vocals, but i guess it works. Good one.

Here's my updated wippy, produced with 1 hand, as the left box of my headphones lost contact, and i had to
hold the wire twisted to keep it stereo. Anyways, would love some feedback!

is the same shit that happen to me



reignz .wicked tune , nothing to say i really like it

[jaydot]

@Reign: Love it man, heavy shit

@Traffikz: I'm a fan of those kinda basses, did you use Massive's performer on that? Nice track though dude>



Remastered version of mine^

About the levels I tried automating the filters for different kinds of sound every half-bar on the bass, it just makes it muted at points though :/ Anyway I'll look into that.

[TRaffikz]

Used Massive, but not the performer. Just the basic LFO technique.

[zuta]

jay dot i like the police sampler in the intro , and all kind of reggae stuff , maybe too much kick drums , and the synth line is too loud for me , keep working

willg :like the fxs , like you say a chillout tune , well done i think , i like it man , great use of panning too

olux: i really like the intro , man your shit sound GOOD , love the sounds the vocals are fine too , well done , the best tune on this page

almost finish , any feedback is welcome

[kikaruu]

@Zuta: Dude, nice percussion. The intro was interesting, but it really took off for me when the drums came in. Nice synths at 2:46, too.

@Willg: Loving the vibe there. I think you should watch your high frequencies, though.

@Reignz: Ah, you teased me in the intro. I took my eyes away from the page long enough -- oh man, that drop is sweeeeet (I'm typing as I listen). Nice synths going on there. Snare fill? Nice. And reversing? Double nice. I'm looking forward to the finished version.

So... back again. Haven't finished the Calypso remix, but I finished this:
