WIPs / First draft of a Prog House track
« on: February 12, 2016, 07:28:11 am »
Hey guys,

This is the first track I've actually finished arranging, I like the harmony/melody a lot but the production is quite amateur so I would really appreciate if you guys could critique me to death on it.

I tried using this track from Avicii as a reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFBC2vS8Ej8

I have a few things which I'm not happy with and think could be improved:
 - It gets repetitive after a while and I think one of the reasons is because the chords and melody are 4 bars long instead of 8 bars.
 - The drum fills and FX are really bad, I struggled a lot with them, especially white noise.
 - There are very few instruments (piano, pluck, crappy acoustic guitar from Live and a bassline) and no layering going on.
 - I think some pads and/or stabs could also help adding some variation.

Overall I'm happy with the arrangement and the track's vibe, but I really plan on making it better based on the feedback I get. I'm also extremely open to collaboration on it if any of you fine gentleman think it would be worth your time (I'm using Live).
