WIPs / Re: Who I Am - Almost Finished Progressive WIP

Sounds great, very Zedd-ish. Arrangement is great, melodies are great. Probably just needs some more instruments to add some depth/variation. The vocal humming (?) at around 3 minutes I don't like so much. Would def listen to this song again though, good work.

WIPs / Re: 2ND RELEASE OF THE YEAR! Future/R&B/Electronic

Like the beat and originality and overall arrangement. In terms of the sounds, something funky is going on with the vocals - they seem to be low-passed or something? There is too much mid or low frequency going on. Sounds like they were recorded in a phone booth and really low quality. The drums need to be snappier and have more variation. Love the other instruments and sounds and wish they were featured better/louder in some parts. More energy needed in the chorus, could use some kind of epic pad or something with more build ups etc.

Overall I liked the groove and chords and melodic ideas. Didn't like the instrument with reverb or delay that came in at 2 minutes. Or maybe its the envelope I didnt like. Starts out weak and increases in volume and then fades out each time it plays with the reverb a little off-time. Also not much bass going on in this song it seems. It sounds like the song is missing a melody or a hook. Good start though.

Like it - cool sounds. I like the juxtaposition between the contemplative mood in the intro and the upbeat synth melody starting at 1:09. It caught me off guard, in a good way. I like the waves crashing (?) in the background and the weird bells chiming reverb at the end.

Finished Tracks / Re: New track I made I would love some feedback! :)

I like the timing of the chord changes, makes the song interesting. However it sounds like its missing a lead melody over the top of this. Drums need more variation along with transitions, buildups, drops.

Overall I like what you are doing with it. The male vocal is a little cheesy - needs some effects or vcoder or something. I would also introduce another couple of elements (harmony with some other kind of instrument), maybe one at the second verse, and a different one after the bridge, to give it some variation.

Finished Tracks / Re: Feelings | one track off of my mini EP

You've got a groove going, so that's good, but there is no melody, harmony, chords, etc. There isn't much variation in instrument type. There isnt much in the way of transitions or different parts to the song like chorus, drop, verse, etc. The song at 1 minute switches into something completely different  there doesnt seem to be much continuity. Also the song fades out quickly at the end. Long story short, I would try to come up with a lead melody or chord progression or something to go along with the nice groove youve got - and try to give it some structure.

Love it - I could see how with a bit more mixing experience this could evolve into something really special. good work!

Any idea how SOPHIE creates sound effects like latex gloves, balloon popping, bubbles (?), etc. Do you think he analyzes the wave shape of a recorded sound and tries to recreate in a synth? Any idea what VST he uses? Thanks.

Curious if anyone here has had success with Logic's Ultrabeat for their kicks? I am totally new to producing and haven't looked for any samples yet. I just worked on my first track and layered 2 Ultrabeat kicks using the kick bank - one for the top kick and one for the bottom, and EQ'd them to fit together. Is that dumb?
