RE: SMA Feedback Contest - A DSound Community Initiative - Round 5 Is Live!
So last contest I left my post with the assumption that I would give feedback later, which didn't work out (complete mental failure on my part), but I am back and this time gave feedback BEFORE commenting this :)
Anyways I'd love to hear your thoughts on this track!
Thanks my friend, appreciate you comin back and giving up some feedback and submitting. :-D
Hey @novili. Thanks for sharing the track! I wasn't sure what to expect with that title, but I'm impressed! It's a super chill track and it's got a great atmosphere throughout. I think the melodies work really well and I'm a fan of the kick drum and the overall trap-influenced drum patterns. I felt like the hi-hats in the background were being drowned out sometimes (like around 2:05), it wouldn't be too bad if they stood out a little more there. But maybe that's also my speakers talking..? Or actually, maybe that was a conscious choice on your part? As usual with these kind of instrumental tracks, variation can become a bit of an issue. I have the same problem often. I bit more of a switch-up in the second half might do the track some good. Maybe adding a synth, changing up the drums, or adding a different melody... Vocal samples might also help in that regard. But these are only suggestions; I feel like overall it's a very chill track that really works well the way it is. And sometimes trying to force too much variation into a track just makes it messy. So in conclusion, big ups for creating this instrumental...it's one of the best tracks I've heard on here in quite a while!
this beat has a nice bounce. the mix feels right. everything seems to work. i feel some of the instruments and sounds good be pushed a bit more. i like the weird horn that is featured in the brake. i think it could be fussed with to feel like it comes more from mars than it does now. i wanna here more outer space sounds and textures. put my right on that beach on Mars. and i think the way to that is just keep fussing with all the sounds to make them more your own. perhaps even the melody loop could have a change. perhaps even another part that feels different than where we are. the track has that nice sunday mellow vibe. i feel that is where you are going with this tune. i get it and like it. just go weirder! and if you know me i normally am asking for more weird! great work. keep going on this beauty!
Greetings @novili, is more to say how much I liked your chill, "Beach On Mars" great title, that transported me to a world of dreams and peace, for those 3:25 min, made me forget all the reality that Sometimes we have to live, but that helps you to be yourself. The audio, very organic, I do not know how the beaches are on Mars, but if they are like your music, they should be great, Thank you very much for your contribution, you have given us a good material, Luck and success!
wassup @novili im liking this groove, simple yet effective, all sounds are clean and hover in their own space. Super chill indeed, this is that top back in a old school impala riding round the city in the summer time music! followed you on soundcloud too! good work
