@izkliegt - I'm loving this so much! Such euphoric feels dude! Reminds me of Cyber/Sylence/WP.. really well done! I'm still struggling to create a nice glidey lead like that :( teach me the way!!

@nerz - the riff sounds off key relative to the bassline.. and your reverse bass needs to sound a little more.. aggressive perhaps? And the lead in the break needs some more eq-ing in the higher ranges imo..

@Fu Xi - Similar to izkliegt, really reminds me of the Wasted Penguinz kinda sound.. I like it! Your kick pitches up nicely - perhaps work on the punch/tok of it a little..

---------------------------------------
It's been a while since I made some music, so I decided to restart a project from scratch after getting everything finally installed on my MBP..

It's a reworked mid-intro.. please excuse the dodgy mix down.. it was late :+ But thoughts on the general idea, or do you think it's perhaps too much going on, or needs more?

@neogenesis, really love what you’ve done here, nothing more to say, just keep it up !
@izkliegt, sounds goods ! A bit soft for me, but a nice summer track :p
@nrx, can’t find your track man :/
@nerz, some good ideas, but your track still need a lot of work, as someone say it before, it’s sound too basic, same for the kick, keep it up !

Here is what i’m working on atm

Beyond:
Basically a pretty cool idea. But at the beginning the kick drops extremely unexpected. You need to fill both buildups more with snares/claps, risers, crashes and other fx. The kick is cool, but could be a bit deeper in the intro it pitches somehow uselessly. I wouldn´t do that but maybe this is just a matter of taste, I don´t know haha :p
The arrangement of the sounds is cool and sound fine all in all. From 1:00 till 1:10 and from 2:00 till ~2:15 the vocals are way too quiet and hard to understand. Besides all that the mixdown is pretty good and I really like the melody! Gives me those 2008/2009 feelings (L)

Happiness:
Partly the same problems like the first track. You need more FX in the buildup so the drop doesn´t come so unexpected. Also I am not the biggest fan of the screech, but thats also just a matter of taste tho :)
The vocals could be more clear as well even tho its way better to understand compared to the first track. They need to be mixed better.

Summary of both tracks:
I really like what you´ve done here :) but work on the buildup more. Thats the only thing that really bothers me here! There are ways to drop unexpected but thats not one of them unfortunately (at least for me haha). Besides that there is not much to complain :)

@Neogenesis

You already said that you need to work on the mixdown so I´ll not go into that :p
Besides that I literally have NOTHING to complain here. This is sooo awesome! I really want to have that finished track! Omg that reversed bass is sooooo good _O_ it´s sooo bouncy and rolling. Allways tried to make a reversed bass like that but never was able to. The sound design is pretty good as well. Everything fits and sounds energetic! (L) :fist:

@NRx Hardstyle

I like it :) Sounddesign is awesome. The kick is good as well. Not much to complain. Not the type of hardstyle I normally listen to but this thing here will work pretty good on the dancefloor! I really can´t think of much to criticise :) well done!

I just leave this here :)

@Sustain
Beyond: Very good idea, just one thing, i think the volume of the drops is too high compared to the other parts of the song.
Happiness: Really like the melody, i would turn the volume of the vocal up a little bit, great track :D
Keep it up man ;D


I leave my first song here, dont be to hard with me pls, just starting in production :)

@Vestritz
Sounds really good for your first production! Sadly the kick is drowning as the main synth and the screech are way too loud... I like the combination of the melody and the screeches but it lacks variety. Nice dubstep-ish part. The melody has this nice, yet old flavour. Really digging this! Keep on doing, mate!

So, it's been a while since I produced music as I'm currently in a mental hospital... This weekend I was allowed to go home and this is the result of being around four hours in my room and producing music. Let me hear what you think! :)

Sounds pretty cool :p , but I think the lead needs some reverb, now it sounds really dry. Maybe even add a layer to make it sound more powerful. And I would before the qlimax create a cool build up, for example with the melody which is at first lowpassed and then slowly envelopes. Then some snares and stuff like that but thats just my opionion :P

Thanks for your honest feedback! As I mentioned, this is the result of just four hours of work. :P
Ofc this track will have a proper build up! Thanks for that

I really like the idea, but i think the space between the piano notes is too small, i would slow it down a bit, just my opinion. The climax is very good, liked the synth, btw, where are the pads of 0:16 from?

The lead needs to be worked on more, it needs maybe two more layers to make it sound full-er. Also, a lil bit of work on the build up, as it seems like there is not much happening between them as well. But nice melo :P
