Hey guys, just finished another track over the last few weeks and it'd be awesome if you could check it out and let me know what you think!

Love the vibe! I'm with ledezma on this one too. I think if there was some brightness in there this tune would just "pop." Just my .02 though!  Sounds good

Thanks so much! Makes me feel really good hearing this positive feedback, I appreciate it!

dude this ones nice, i like the mixdown. id say the chords could use a lil more life, w/ an lfo or something. those drums kick hard n thats my favorite! nice job man

Thanks heaps! I'm pretty happy with the result so I'm happy to get some positive feedback too!

dope i love the vibe on this. If i had to suggest anything it would be to add another synth something bright and wobbly and maybe bring out the vocal cuts on the second part they are really cool

Hey thanks! It's probably the best I've ever layered synths and what not so I was pretty pleased, but thanks so much for the suggestion, I'll keep it in mind!

Cool tracks Shannon, digging your style. Keep up the good work

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the vocal track for 'Get Free' from?

I've wanted to do some remixes for a while but always struggle to find decent vocal tracks.

Peaceeeee.

Thanks so much!

I got them from here I think: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6_yM5r9ie0xMWZCY1JzeGFvVm8/edit?usp=sharing. You can check out r/songstems on reddit though, they have heaps of quality stems you can browse through!

Hi all,

It seems that every time I start producing a song, I draw out 4/8/16 bars, and then I stick to the grid at 4/4 usually. I notice bigger producers seem to variate off this a lot, but still match drum beats, other synths, and bass to the main chords/lead. I think my music could benefit a lot if I could snap out of this habit of just drawing one chord per bar. Any suggestions on improving in this aspect? What should I do?

Thanks!   

Massive Flume fan and a massive fan of this song. 

This is really cool! I really like the main synth you use, very well done.

Refer to the frequency spectrum. If there is a space on your spectrum that is fairly empty, your track won't sound full. when using reference tracks as mentioned above, look at how that track looks on the frequency spectrum compared to yours. you can view the frequency spectrum with most EQs by enabling the analyzer. Metering plugins also usually have spectral analyzation modules.

So for example, say I'm lacking in the mid and highs by a few dB, what would you suggest to flesh them out? I guess it depends on the track and the sound you're going for, but any ideas?
