Originally posted by madmuso Great song. The only two things that stood out for me was the attack on the main cho synth, for me it sounds a little too clicky, and the choice of sound for the cho melody synth that comes in around 2:28 for me sounds a little cheesy? Mix is great though! Hope you get a good vocalist that will do it justice! Btw, where's the piano sound from, sounds really nice?

You know I actually sort of was going for a cheesy vibe at 2:28 as it is an EDM song. The piano is PianoOne vst!

sorry mate, bit of a typo there, yeah i think you could cut a little more out of the low end but its not bad. i think if you played that on a big system tho it could be too much

Originally posted by madmuso Hey guys, heres a song I did a while ago, am thinking about reworking it to bring it up to date. Im so used to hearing this the way it is (because of listening to it a million times) that im finding it hard to get creative with it again. Ive lost that "fresh" listen aspect. So im after mainly songwriting, arrangement sound design advice, etc. Not really mix related stuff cause its a rough mix. Thanks guys,

I think it is a bit dated in style but that is just a taste thing. Are the vocals original or from another song? I think you have a lot of good musical elements to work with. I might use the higher second vocals in a few less places. I like it overall.

You change your tracks so much I don't know what the old one was! This sounds like a techno banger straight out of a Carl Cox set. I don't really have any feedback other than I notice a lot of variance in your tracks (like elements that only get used once or in one part) which is fine, I think that is part of your style. Though, it is harder to a get a hook with a lot of parts coming in and out I think. Really great track though. I could for sure see some of the techno guys playing it.

I still have some extras/automation to add into this one, but the majority of it is in here currently. I guess I would call this deep, though it has elements of prog and trance I think. One of the more unique things I've made.

By far my fave track of yours, absolutely smooth as hell. You have the deep house sound perfected and melted with wonderful breaks.

I do not like the part just after the break, it's incongruous, just instead go to the deeper sound you have that follows that part.

Hat off to you, this is killer.

All original, Im not sure I will continue working on it right now, common advice is that it's dated so best thing to do is move on and work on some of my other songs. Maybe one day the work put into this may come in handy for another song, etc! Thanks for the advice guys and honesty guys! Onto next song!

So, ive canned the other track, common feedback was that its dated, not gonna waste any more time on it, maybe one day I can use parts of it for something else, in the meantime, onto other songs!

Heres another ive been re working. To be honest, I dont even know what genre this really fits into it, I come from a classical and Rock background originaly (please dont roll your eyes!) so im not really up to speed with all the sub genres in the electronic world, all I know is I start creating and these are the things that come out.

feedback away! thanks guys,

Cool song, dumb question, what genre does this song fall into?
I like the song dynamics.

On first listen the only thing that my ears were unsure about is the tuning during the organ/string chilled section. To me it sounds like there are a few elements slightly out of key, Obviously the organ is the key element in determning what chords are being played and which key they are derived from. It sounds like the kick note (its producing an note not just a thump) and strings are slightly out of key i.e. maybe just one note of the strings is out. To me it was creating a dissonant uncomfortable feeling. Maybe also matching the kicks tonal note to the root/tonic of the key would help also? Or maybe you are going for a dissonant vibe and I should just STFU!
Thats my ears anyway, just being honest. But overall a cool track. I like it.

I'd call it a mix of deep, prog & trance. I didn't intentionally add dissonance and haven't noticed it myself. However, the breakdown is quite a wash of delay, reverb and a bunch of synths which I was going for.
