I just don't get one thing. I've been watching a lot of videos of big producers doing a lot of compression on their synth leads and I just don't get why. The velocity in their midi info is the same so there's not a lot of dynamics in their melodies, but they always throw compressors In there.... WHYY? To glue layers? to make it sound different?

The concept of blues in EDM is really appealling to me. I'm sure it will come out in the industry at some point. I really like the drop, it is a VERY GOOD IDEA don't change it. I love it.

I have a problem with all of the other sections. At the beginning of the song there seems to be nothing I can grasp on, not a real concept in which you are working on in this track, I feel like every instrument its doing it's own thing and doesn't care what the other ones are doing. In terms of volume, there is nothing that sticks out to my ears that says "Oh, ok. This is what my attention should be focusing on".

On the breakdown after the first drop, you use some orchestration for that section that feels out of context with the song. That part alone might be a good idea, but in the whole picture of the track I don't feel it works that well, and taking in count the title of the thread, I think you are going more for the bluessy side of things. I would take that orchestral part and build a different song out of that.

I think you should focus on what elements you're using on the drop and build the track around that. I'm serious when I say this has a lot of potential.

I hope to hear and updated track soon.

I think you can work on the dynamics of the song a little more, so that the parts where there's no beat  there's a lower volume and in the most important parts of the song sticks out.
You could also a bring those synths/horns out a little more in the mix.

Cool music

Yeah the drop is weak, as a listener i couldnt choose to which part should i pay attention cuz it seems like all the elements are fighting . It needs a proper mixdown and sound selection . Its not even about the repetition its more likely about having some sort of a distinctive hook that makes the listener come back to the track . Hopefully u understand lol .

I see. On the drop I want people to focus on the bass, I'll fix it in the mix. I'll see wha I can do to make the drop stronger.

Thank you.

I like the feel of the track. I like how you build it up, nice arps. I think by the time you add the hihats at 0:59 you can play them at 16nth notes straight away. I feel like the track is opening and getting faster and when you add those hihats it feels like it gets slower before accelerating... IDK.. personal opinion.

I really like it, I would like to see how it sounds when it's finished.

Why do a lot of big producers that use FL Studio use a Mac for producing (Avicii, Martin Garrix) instead of just buying some high-end laptop like an Alienware or something else?

Well the thing with modes is the next. Your normal everyday average major scale is the first mode Ionian, and each subsequent mode is just the same scale just that you start at the next note of the scale. So:

Let's use the C major scale as an example for simplicity:

Your First mode (Ionian).... and the scale would go as follows:

C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C

Then your next mode will use the EXACT SAME NOTES. The difference is that you'll position yourself so that the first note of the scale is the next note... in this case D.

So, your second Mode (Dorian) would go as this:

D-E-F-G-A-B-C-D

And you continue the process to identify every subsequent mode with the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh note of of our first major scale.

So... what's the difference? aren't those the same notes? Shouldn't it sound the same?... Technically yes, but when you position yourself playing on a chord progression with a mode you'll see that you have a very specific character for each mode.

If you play a Dorian scale over a certain chord progression you'll get a certain feel, and if you suddenly change to Aeolian Mode the tone will change drastically.

Each and every mode is subject of study. You can find some great youtube videos about each mode and how to use them.

It explains the Dorian Mode in detail, then you can dig around as you please to satisfy your hunger for knowledge.
