HOORAY FOR LIMITERS

lol having fun with limiters are we? sure helps.

but WOAH melody sounds weird??? sidechaining does not help you here man. take it off and EQ the lead.

kick sounds off. kicks should make a kicking noise. this makes a bouncy, limited punchy noise.

need some work. i think the only reason this got t5 is because of....blah.

i'm no zerobomber. but i will say i expected better. vocal needs work too.
clap is ok though, just dont draw lines with it (put 4 in a row fast). same with the kick.

if you're using fl, disable circular panning law. not helping here.

DanceNation responds:

:/

yea... um...

-also lets keep in mind, i've been making for only 5 months, kk?

give me a break..

watch your octaves

sometimes raising an octave /eqing down can make a difference. try it with some instruments

FairSquare responds:

I will, thanks!

decent job man

strings are good, intro is nice.

bit repetetive though. double up the strings and turn up those background FX a bit.

drums sound kindof intrusive, change them a bit.

veteranpie responds:

I know it gets repetitive but i like this one. i was trying to make this go with a sea type setting.

trance .....

clap is way too loud and undercompressed, sidechaining is random, chord progression is awkward, hi-hat sounds generic, clipping, bass is too midi sounding.

trance aint easy, keep trying

kjhsdgf responds:

lolololololol
it was a mockno, anyways, isn't it funny, how all 3 of you guys' names start with "z"?

good ideas

you obviously know what you're doing with the clap. well placed! most people mess that up badly. hi-hat needs EQing. put a lowpass and a highpass on it, then compress. synths sound kind of depressed. turn up the resonance on the leads. kick sounds decent, but a kick like that should be used in a faster song. impact FX are good. if you're going to have a weak-ish bassline, you really need to go heavy on the pads. there's a gap in your song where a strong orchestra pad should be.

bit around 4:22 was artistic, but didn't fit. percussion sounds overcompressed there.

message me if you have questions! im looking to meet some people. i make techno too.

veteranpie responds:

Thanks! i tryed to do good with the clap. i will do better on my next song with the passes. I understand i should have made the tempo faster, but i needed a long song now.
Thanks for the review.

fix the bass

4 notes at a time for offbeat bass. otherwise, try 4 notes, 2, 4, then 4 again.

buzzy basslike this can't be overcompressed

are you using FL?

syphonmax responds:

Yeah I'm using FL Studio and this is still a work in progress, so I'll look into the bass

aalright here we go..

now this isn't really my kind of music, and honestly i think you could have benefited from some bassy FX. some distorted square bass would have sounded nice under there, also. I think that main chime-ish dreamy bassy synth thing that you used was just a little bit thin. maybe double it up with a 5th note enhancer or something.....

how enjoyable do you find this yourself, on a scale of 1-10?

BrokenCrossfader responds:

On a scale of 1-10 of my satisfaction of this tracks is equal to the score you gave me on this one, which is about an 8/10. I'm never completely satisfied with some of my work because there is always something I find out later that should have been done before to improve it.

About the distorted square bass, it isn't a bad idea, but it would contradict my lead and throw off the frequencies so I filtered the bass to be a little more subtle while still having a presence in the mix. Plus distortion is something I save for my Electro House work.

I agree with what you mentioned on the chime being a little thin. I was trying to go for something not completely up-front to maintain the atmosphere, but I regret not adding a 4th or a 7th note to it.

I'm satisfied that you took the time to listen.

-OB

you have my 10 and 5

you obviously know what you're doing more than i do.

really good

dude this is one of those songs...

you hear it...

and you know...

somebody did something right...

nice drums.

i'll give this a 10. but i'm wondering. is that supposed to be a guitar? or are you trying to make a techno-ish DnB?

Lycrios responds:

techno-ish DnB, just I made a cool bass riff so I added Drums :P

I has Recon armer.
