RE: SMA Feedback Contest Round 7 - A DSound Community Initiative
I like the direction of this tune and where you are going with it! It does feel like i is in very early stages. And knowing your production skills, i am sure as heaven this tune will be fire.
I love love the background animals. always!
The drums, the rhythm, the melody, all instruments support the theme strongly.
So how can we improve on this rad little number who wants to be a boss!?
When I think of this genre think dirty, I think old, I think organic! And I really want that horn to feel more organic. It feels to dry and straight for me. perhaps some reverb would be nice. and or if you have some on it, a little more . Same goes for the keyboard. I want it to feel more organic too. if you are working in Abelton, try putting a "groove" of the instruments to loosen them up a bit. i think experimenting with the grooves on all sounds, might help.
And making this tune feel more organic is my one and most important note!
I love the panning you have going and all the sounds are fitting very well.
I have now listened to it about 6 times and it continues to grow on me. it is really grand.
RIGHT! The dirt is missing! Now that you mention it it could really use some dirty old cloth type of character to it. A good oint, will definitely go for more organic sound atmosphere should I go and make another track with a similar character or setting. Helped massively dude, I will go and check out how to achieve that tomorrow, thank god I save all my project files^^
I am scared using too much reverb but the right one with the right amount could probably change the whole track's impact huh? I work in Bitwig but they have a similar option called "shuffle" and I ought to use it more as it is, good point.
cheers for your feedback and all your attention to detail, I can really use it, especially in styles where I normally don't go.
Need to expand my horizons ;) and some more. and some more
