Zulishanti - Thunderstorm (Drum+Basstep)

[Talált]

Hey peeps!

im redoing a bunch of old songs of mine, making them cohesive for an album release and i just finished (hopefully) this today.

this is an older song i made, was originally at 150bpm but i felt it was still a bit slow. was originally dubstep. meh, i grew up.

enjoy, and PLEASE please give technical feedback. be picky, be harsh. i must know =]

Your basses are the highlight of this song for me. The percussion could use more depth. Variation in the sound of the drums with some layering, and some more rhythmic work (gotta love those ghost snares) would help. I find some of your lead sounds repeat a bit too long - the change at 3:30 is really good. I'd hope there could be a different element earlier on in the tune as well though.

This is my own issue more than anything else - but there are so many ways to handle transitions that don't involve filtered noise sweeps and machine gun kicks/snares that unless you are going for that cheesy anthem feel, it seems they are better avoided.

Did I mention I quite like your basses?

thanks man! i agree with everything you're saying. just needed someone else to tell me =p

seriously one of the best pieces of technical feedback i've ever received on here man, much appreciated!

I think it wouldn't hurt to add a couple more melodic elements to the song. something to give it more interest as the track progresses and keep it from feeling repetitive. the song in your signature is a good example of what i mean.

I like the melody in your track but it just repeats too many times. and I agree with oatbag, roughly around 3:27 is pretty cool where the other lead comes in.

Yeah this sounding good, variation would be good even if it was just playing that lead sound an octave lower in some bits.
