Feedback thread

Thanks, man. I'm still pretty new to production, but this is the first song I'm comfortable releasing as part of an EP. Still got a few tweaks to throw in and gonna do some switch ups for the rest of the song, but thank you for the feedback!

The only feedback I generally get is from a few good friends who don't produce and I feel like they sometimes just tell me what they think I want to hear, so it's good to get some outsider feedback

brutal man. No knowledge of the original, but that buildup is sick as hell. Drop is sick as hell. Bass is deep as hell. Really can't pinpoint much wrong at all, finish it!

This is 'Synth Story', an electro house tune I finished up today:)

tncee: that shit is.... omg. hahaha. so crazy. I love the horn samples you use at the beginning. So intense. The only thing I think might help fill out the mix a little in a couple of places is if you used a downlifter after the drop to kind of keep so background noise going. real low in the mix you know? Other than that its dope.

zdubz: I love the synth during on the drop. its a phat synth. I like it. I think maybe the drums could come forward in the mix a little more? Same thing with using a downlifter. The uplifter into the drop worked beautifully. Try the downlifter to follow through to keep a bit of the consistency and fill the mix.

Keep in mind these are just my opinions. Hope this helps (approve)

Oh and also click on the any of the links in my signature and let me know what you think?? they're all mine. Diamond Cakes is the newest if you've already heard the other stuff.

Diamond Cakes is the newest if you've already heard the other stuff.

Love the lead synth around 1:08 man, and the melody throughout. It's a really clean mix. The lead before that I think should be spiced up a bit though. Sounds kind of generic midi-ish. But that says nothing about the track as a whole, really professional.

And thanks a lot for some honest advice dude. The changes are pretty subtle but I brought out the drums more and added them to a couple of bars, also put a nice downlifter after each segment in the drops. You're right, it was pretty bland without.

I re-uploaded it to my soundcloud with the edits but they are pretty minor so no need to comment on the same song again(whoever the next person is), I'll just post a new track.

it's a remix of HVK Music - 'Trick This':

Zdubz : Wow thanks so much for the compliments on my track man. Leave me a thanks on there!!! (approve) and also I totally feel what you mean about the generic first lead but I messed with that dumb thing forever. I just figured out some new cool tricks that I'll be using in the last song for the EP that I create when I start that sometime this week and it'll really spice up my synths. And as for the melodies... I've always leaned towards a melodic sound. I personally LOVE listening to really intense synths even if they're atonal. Entire atonal songs are fine with me. I love riddim in that regard hahha. But I just always produce with melodies and chordal structures in mind. So thanks :)

Im glad you were able to take something from the advice I gave. I never used to use up and downlifters until a couple of months ago and they really just change your whole mix. They just completely fill up a mix without distorting or overshadowing the main elements. Its a great way to add subtle energy. And yeah I personally just like to have my drums out front in a mix. You should repost the edit for us to hear!!

Thanks man ! I'll do for sure , crowd would go crazy if someone would be dropping this right after the original one :D (which i got in mind next time im spinning)

Thanks for the Feedback! :) Actually i didnt edit anything at the Intro - these Horns are Included in the Original One too , but i Remastered the whole thing so the Overall Transients come out much Clearer and Deeper - which gives the whole thing a more Natural Feel :) I know what you mean , i thought so too theres many gaps in it where you can hear no Background Atmosphere - thats kind of temporary right now but i'll add that later ofcourse ! the more atmosphere it gets the less it'll sound like an edit :D

Whats up guys, I stumbled upon this thread the other day and thought it would be a good place to post my first track ive been workin on. Literally just got done mastering and uploading this, keep in mind that this is the first "song" ive ever made, so I understand it doesn't sound properly mastered or mixed and I know its mediocre at best but I wanted to post it here to get some feedback and possibly tips/suggestions
