I havent made anything in months, im trying to finish this so I can send it in and forget about it. I cant get the bass or the lead to sit well, I gotta run some more passes.

this is nice, particularly in the break. There are some weird pieces of melodies here and there that dont really fit imo, and i also dont think they add anything to the track

I agree, basically had to throw some in though - Moshic remix pack. Totally doesnt sound like the original though. The break is poopoo too.

Unfortunately I have to agree with Paul (evo8) on this - some places I got lost in sub-melody part and couldn't recover quick enough to put it back together lol (if you know what I mean )

Cheers man,

Darek

Awesome Rich. Reminds me of the stuff some higher end clothing stores are playing these days (often a playlist with popular EDM songs).

yeah it kinda sounded like that with those samples appearing a bit off

if you were keeping it id work from the break which i still think is pretty nice, the progression works

Im trying to brute force this so I can hand it in, some dissonance will remain probably, fuck it doe.



Probably what im going to leave it at. Didnt include the breakdown/post but ill leave that the way it was to add contrast and I resampled in some choirs in the ending part, didnt snag that part though.

Either ditch the vocal samples at the beginning or push them down in the mix. As-is, they sound like there's a great track and someone plopped them down on top.

Other than that, I really like this, musically speaking (someone with more knowledge can talk about your mix); it just needs a little more oomph, something that progresses from one phrase to the next and has movement to it.

Good track, don't get me wrong; just needs some little tweaks to push it over the edge into great. Love the bassline.

I agree, maybe try and compress them harder into the mix so that they blend well. Right now they feel stacked on top as if they don't belong there.

Also I'm not fond of the dissonance myself.

Thanks! Need to add some diffusion and lower the levels a bit, gotcha. Its pretty impressive how loud they sound lol. Definitely not close to my best work, just trying to get this one out the door, more work ahead. #shitproducerlife

Great sounds here, you always have good individual sounds, I'd be interested to know your go to synth (I could tweak forever with the synths I have and not achieve those choir sounds for example).

Really like the kick and the unusual sound and timing of the bass although the dissonance does deter me some. The kik n bass alone have the makings of a great techno track.

Originally posted by kadomony RANN told me i should post in here more, so here's a revision of the previous WIP i posted. went with a less intense bass and diff chord structure and feel. kinda loop-ish at the moment, but will be working on transitions and automation

Decent groove. As you say you have work to do, if you are interested in my input I would suggest a shorter less loud style of open hat to help the groove along and also really tight drum sounds overall to compliment the bass. The clap is nice n tight. Like the little almost imperceptible vocals in the background.
