RE: SML Feedback Contest Round Two Starts Now.
Here is my thoughts, notes, etc.
I like the melody, the bass line is kind. The energy is there in this track. It has a commercial edge to it. I feel like it has all of the elements for this to be super powerful. it could feel like an idea, a 2nd draft maybe? What I am thinking is I think you might be able to go a bit further with it. maybe record some of your parts out and process them a bit or a bunch, until they start sounding like great sounds you maybe never heard before.
ofcourse what i am saying is coming from the idea, that you wanna make this the track of the night! The closer even. it has that feel and energy to be the last track the dj plays in his set, and he is the last dj of the show, the sun is coming up, and this is the track! but if that was the case, i feel you would for surely wanna extend it to be much longer, have it keep growing, bring in some swelling washes, rises, and make the kids on drugs loose their minfs and never wanna go home!
(Ah the good old days!
And when I talk about the good old days, I made a living as a techno dj from 2001 - 2009, and I was playing 1 - 4 nights a week them years.)okay so back to your tune. if your not looking to be the track of the night, which is always a rad approach casue not ever track can be the last track. some have to be strong supporters that build. and your tune could be that too!
it could go smaller! minimal as fuck if you wanted! the grooves are there, again process some of them sounds to make them all your own, and this could be a mini tech bumper!
i truly see too paths here. and where you are at is fine too. but for my liking, I always want original sounds I don't know iin my tunes.
I hope this helps, and pops your brain to move it the way you want it!
Thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated. I do agree that I could've taken it further for sure, the main reason I didn't is because this is a track for vocals to go over and I didn't want too many melodies clashing with the vocals, although I see your point that I could've went harder with the sounds. I've actually just released a version or a track my group fresh eire did on this track on my channel tonight. I'll follow you back now. Thanks again
i will check out this tune and yeah, i diidn't realize you had vocals coming for the tune! I am sure once you get them in, you will know what you need to do, as i would think the goal would to be to make it all work to support the vocal. that being said, i think you are sitting pretty! for sure ready for vocals! I am looking forward to hearing it with the vocal!! great job my pal! gonna check your groups tune now!
Awesome. I probably should have mentioned in the post that vocals were coming for it. Sorry about that, I clean forgot. Thanks again for taking the time to write such detailed feedback. I've tried my best to give feedback on yours also, but like I said in the feedback, I'm far from an expert producer so I could be wrong in my critique about the sub bass. It's just something I would have done with the track personally but everyone has their own sound
thanks for the feedback! i agree perhaps so more low end needs to be! thanks man!!! and no sorrys about the non mention of the vocal. was fun to discover and find it the way i did!
that's cool. I hope I didn't cause any offence by suggesting it needed a little more low end. I always feel really bad critiquing other peoples tracks when my own tracks are filled with mixing issues, but I always look for the positives much more than the negatives. Your track has basically no negatives in my mind other than a little low end needed. It is an awesome track.
heck no! i wanna hear what you hear. i agree with it! thank you my friend
