My entry in the remix contest for Creepa's track "Anata" put on by Zen Supremacy.

Any and all comments/criticisms are welcome and encouraged.

Hope you all enjoy <3

This is beautiful, I really love it!  The soundscape that you have created is incredible and it took me to another place! 

It was difficult for me to come out with anything right off the bat for critique, so I put on some Mat Zo and used Time Dilation as a mix reference as I love how that overall mix sounds.  Please keep in mind that this is just a stylistic preference, though I'm curious what your remix would have sounded like with a more evident and harder hitting but quick and tighter kick with some quick, chest hitting subbass and a bit less boom.

This is also stylistic preference and I love how 3:05 and on sounds, though I would have preferred less sidechain (lfo?) ducking for a bit less of that pumping effect as it was a tiny bit distracting for me in this mix, but again that's just my personal taste and pretty subjective.

Excellent work, looking forward to hearing more of your songs in the future!

woops sorry,there you go      https://soundcloud.com/cronix-dj/id-take-it

This is awesome, I really like your style!   This has a very bass house type groove to it that reminded me of Ephwurd/Hi-Lo/etc, so good job!

I think that figuring out how to make your percussion, specifically your hats more audible in the overall mix and focus more of the mix attention towards them should improve the groove even more and get it sounding even closer to those producers above (if that's what you're going for).  I would check your panning and stereo wideness on your hats, as it may help a lot if you can get them more off to the sides and away from the center part of the mix with all the sub bass and basslines.  Also, if you can make any EQ cuts in your bass synths/others to try and free up even more room for those hats to come through, that will likely help too.  Please keep in mind that I am still learning this genre myself as well and I'm no expert, but I think this should help you

If you would like to give a listen, would love to hear your thoughts on my new track below, which is also bass house

This was a really cool track, I liked it!  As a basshead I am really digging your monster sub bass lines, good work!

I think that this track could benefit from some some additional groove, specifically by adding some more drums such as hi-hats or other percussion sounds in there to create some additional movement. 

If you haven't heard of his music before, Snails has quite a lot of groove and drums going on in his tracks, which may be helpful for a reference.  You may be going for a different sound/style than that, though still hope it helps.

Looking forward to hearing more of your work in the future! 

I'm about to post one of my own songs for feedback, would really love to get some from a fellow basshead if you are interested!

Lovely house song, the second drop with half tempo is really sweet, just got the feeling it's kind of empty there and there, which makes it quite repetitive for me. But you made really good work!

Thanks so much for the kind words Hirtone, makes me so happy to hear that you enjoyed it!

Really appreciate your critique as well, that is very good to know.  On filling out more, do you have any methods that you like to use for your own music?  Would love to learn if you are willing to share

Thanks man, I'm glad it sounds good on your end.   Really appreciate your feedback and critique as well, it's very helpful.

I would love to start incorporating more atmosphere into my music, what are your favorite ways to do this for yourself?

I'm feelin this one. It's got that mainroom vibe but with some freshness to it which is great. The drop is dope I love the acid style bass. I think it would be slightly more powerful with the sub tail of each kick sustained for a little more. It would help kind of suck that bass back in and out and provide a deeper foundation for the track overall. Otherwise claps and percussion sound good and your use of the stereo field is pretty clean to me.

So glad you like it man!  Serum was extremely fun to use for the drop on this one

Thanks so much for the feedback, that's very helpful and happens to be the one area that I spent a massive amount of time on trying to get right.  I used LFO tool on my kicks to better blend with the sub bass layer, and at one point did have LFO tool set for a longer sub tail on the kicks, but kept running into an issue where I heard a double bass hit when combined with the sub bass line, even with side-chaining.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this if you have any ideas on how to approach this, thanks!

Also, happy to give you a listen or feedback on any of your tracks if you need

Hey Danz, this is awesome!   You may think that you aren't good at making intros, but I gotta tell you man, you hooked me in from the first second based on how much I enjoyed the intro!  I think you are awesome at them judging from this in my opinion, keep it up! 

The song in general was great from my end, I enjoyed the arrangement that you put together so far, it kept me interested the entire time.

I know that you are still putting together the mix and arrangement, so don't want to go too deep into that as you may still need to do a lot of that work.  One thing I noticed is around 1:15 - 1:19, it sounds very filled out here frequency wise, but something seems to drop off after from 1:20 - 1:29 which is making it sound like you have some frequency gaps or something missing here element wise that wasn't before.  Hope that makes sense man!

Looking forward to the finished version of this, this sounds huge so far, great job!

Would absolutely love to hear your feedback on my track if you would like to listen

Hey Hirtone,

This is a cool idea, I like it!  As said above, the drop is very nice, I really enjoy it.    The part that came after as well sounded great and kept the vibe going for me.  At around 1:46, flute part came in again and I started to lose the vibe a little bit.

I really think you nailed the drop, the sound and the way everything blends together sounds really nice, and I love the unique vibe that you created. 

I wasn't a huge fan of the higher pitched synth which I think is what you were concerned about as well, as it stuck out in the mix to me above all of the other elements.  In addition, you may want to double check all of your chords and notes to make sure everything is staying in scale, as that may be playing a part as well.

Rather than trying to tweak this and spending a lot of time on making it work, you may be better off trying a new idea or a few new ideas and seeing which ones complement the rest of the song.  That drop is seriously awesome and I think the song would really benefit if you structured the entire song and vibe around it.

Anyway, this is all my opinion and at the end of the day you should absolutely use your own creative discretion to make final decisions, but I hope this will help

Keep it up! Looking forward to hearing more of your tunes

Would love to hear some of your feedback if you want to give my track a listen
