So I've idolized and loved music done by mat zo and arty the past like 6-7 years or so and i've finally reached a producing state where i can create sometihng which sounds slightly like their stuff! I'm totally pumped!

I'm not really there yet, with mastering and stuff, but i'm definitely getting there.

Tell me what ya think!

Posted it here in WIP, took your feedback into consideration and remade it. Turned out kinda cool!

Don't think i'll be fiddling about with it any more, i usually just tweak the songs apart.

Feedback for future songs would be highly appreciated though! Enjoy!

Thoughts as i listened:
0:38- vocal needs more echo
0:52- synth sounds very bland, not very interesting at all
1:20- nice buildup
1:35- unsure if this is supposed to be the break or if it's building up to sometihng

Only skimmed through the rest when i realized it's much of the same.

Imo, you need a stronger kick (i recommend getting Nicky Romero Kick) and you need to look up popular EDM/big house music tracks for song structure. Going into detail with all i'd like to see changed would take far to long time and I can't really explain why I feel some things sound off. Try DJing to see the similarities between the popular songs, because they really are similar and use the same  techniques

It did make sense!

Thanks a bunch man, i'll continue working on it!

Heya!

So I've always used sample packs in order to get kicks, but i just don't feel like sample packs give me the variety which i want anymore.

So, is there any plugins/vst that you guys recommend for making kicks/bass-ish sounds?

Thanks a bunch!

The difference with this site and many others is how easy it is to view a persons posts.

So, IMO, there should be a rule in the sticky which states what OP said (that one has to post feedback at least 3 times) in order to post a track themselves and if it's not followed the person gets timed out and or gets restricted access to creating threads.

And to ease the burden on the mods a simple "report user: not giving feedback" thing could be implemented.

This solution requires like... 2 sentences in the sticky and minimum amount of work from the users and mods, but will yield good results

Well, do you have any suggestions for perks? Some might work!

Personally I think it could lower the standards on the forum, instead of raising them.

For example:  having a postcount is standard on forums, but it creates some issues (especially when titles are involved).  I've seen this in some forums and people end up just posting a lot of qualityless posts all over the place, only to get a higher rank in the post system.
IMO, posting should only occur when one has something to add to the discussion/ some unsaid feedback/ similar. Every post should have quality and should be thought out, to create as high of a standard on the forum as possible. Having a post count makes (some, ofc, not all) people post-crazy, just posting stuff to increase their counter, to get a higher "rank" so they can say "look man! I'm totally a big deal over there!" and i think that a perk system would highly boost that effect.

As long as mods are active and keep an eye on shitposting, additional perks could work i guess. But i don't think that it's very necessary
