Isao Tomita died recently, and I was listening to his music and really fell in love with the first synth that plays in this song here.

It's very very simple, analog, and I'm sure it has vibrato, a simple wave type, etc. I just can't for the life of me figure this one out. Any tips or suggestions?

(RIP Isao)

With the first song, SIXSIXSIX, I think some of the Dow's are off tune at some point. It doesn't sound too bad though. The synth that comes in at 1:40 and 3:48 I am not a huge fan of however. Before hand the track puts off a percussionist, modern trap sound. The synth here almost sounds trance-like, and I think a better synth would have fit here, but the melody it plays is not bad. Also the song sounds like it is pretty much repeated right at 2:00 ish. I'd maybe change the second half up a bit more.


Jurassic sounds pretty damn cool. The Hey's and Yeah's are a good fit, but at the same time they sound too dry, and bright. Maybe if they were filtered (very slightly) and had some reverb on them they would fit better into the mix, but that's just an idea. The hi-hats kind of drown out a bit. The problem I have with the track is that it doesn't really seem to have that much of a structure, and rather it's one solid "event." Maybe change things up, add another melody at some point and a breakdown - esque section to ease listeners.

Pretty cool songs, sorry I can't really delve into them mixing wise too much, I was listening through my laptop's speakers.

I just wanna ask... is the name actually "Untitled 22?" or is this just the 22nd song you haven't had a chance to write a name for. Because that is such a great name, sincerely.

I would agree that 1:45 sounds a little funny with the sidechaining. Also maybe the riser lifting to 2:30 should have a progressing highpass filter sweeping up the low end and increasing progressively, to make the drop (which seriously is beautiful) hit harder. This is a beautiful song dude!

@guppi, what do you mean vocal chops are spliced nicely haha. What vocal chops? The ones at the beginning? Either way thank you very much for the compliments.

@JayDBe, Yeah I was thinking something along that line. I definitely want the song to continue for a bit longer, at least one or two more drops after the part I'm at now. Getting there is the hard part haha. Thank you for commenting!

You should comment on other people's posts before expecting others to give you feedback.

Also your track is weird dude. It starts off with some pretty good atmosphere but that drop is freakin' weird (not saying that's bad). I'm no expert or anything in this type of music so I don't really wanna give you any feedback.

The kick is a little boomy (not bad think just notable) and I think it needs a different set of hihats, maybe a crisper clap too haha. The rides at 3:32ish need to be either removed or changed, it sounds really strange there.

I think whats really holding this track back is the percussion / drums. It sounds very "limited" and really really fake. Maybe thats the sounds you're going for haha idk. If so make sure they are better mixed in with the rest of the track, especially the hihats and rides.

Dude, this is SO MUCH BETTER! This rocks wow dude nice changes! The only thing I would recommend is the "wubs" that come in around 1:45 onward, maybe make those slightly clearer, but they sound really good already so maybe just change it very slightly. Dude this is so much better sounding! Nice work!

How this works is you should be leaving others feedback before expecting others to comment on your own.
