Never mind I worked on it some more and sorta pieced it together a bit but ultimately I realized I needed to take a break on that song lol

Me and my friend Revibe tried to make a song combining elements of Moombahton, Noisia (that crunch), Odesza style intros and pads, and Griz style basses (I will be adding more Griz elements soon).  The song is not very well mixed/mastered right now (the subs sound horrible I will get to that later) because I'm trying to get the foundation down now and will go over the rest later.

I'm not sure if this song is actually good or I'm just imagining it to be

If you're using sylenth try turning the retrig off for some of the oscillators while leaving some with it on

Oh that's actually a pretty smart idea, thanks!

Hey nice song!

I really like the vocal chops.  They sound awesome, and are perfect for this song.  However, I do think that the drums need to stand out a little bit more.  Also the transition at 1:20 seems very random, and almost like a different song.  I would try to put some similar pieces from each part to make these two pieces seem more uniform.  Also the drums in the second drop are different samples all together, and it seems a little bit strange.

That melody jingle at 0:20 is good, and you should expand upon this in your song.  I would consider making this synth stand out a little bit more to give people something to grasp on to.

Also one final thing, I would recommend putting some bass/sub bass in the song somewhere to make it seem more full.  Those vocals are awesome, and I'm excited to see what songs you make in the future

Here is a track I have been working on for a while now, but there is one thing that is keeping me from finishing the song:

I cannot figure out what to do for the drop.

I have tried countless things, and I just cannot work out what to do.  If you guys have any suggestions I would be more than willing to try them, and post what I accomplish for each suggestion as long as it makes sense in the song (no big room house or trap though).

This is a sound that is actually very easy to make, but many people seem to struggle making it.  The Flume sound that I'm talking about is at 3:20 in Some Minds

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 1:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make some white noise, and cut off all frequencies below ~350 Hz (change this depending on how much noise you want).  Then make a basic sine wave and put it on a low note so that it makes a sub bass.  Then put a bitcrusher on the sub bass, and downsample the sound a bit.  Then cut off all of the audible low frequencies, so you are just left with the high pitched noise.  The sub bass is only there as a carrier for the high pitched downsample noise (there is probably a better way to do this).

Layer these two sounds together and you have the first way to make the Flume sound.

Method 2:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the second method I used a Fruity Free Filter, and some white noise.  First get the white noise and put a filter on it.  Make this a high pass filter, and turn up the Q (or equivalent knob) very high, but not quite at the max.  Next bring the Frequency of the high pass filter up to around 8000-16000, the only difference here is the pitch that you want.

Personally I prefer the first method more, as you can adjust the individual white noise and the high pitched noise separately.  If you have any better ways to do this, I would love to know.
