WIPs / Re: Electro house

This is really nice man, I think some reverb would really bring this track alive.

I'm not sure if I agree with the comment about the samples used, I think it suits the track in not sounding like newer electro tracks. This is like those old school electro tracks, I wouldnt change the samples :) just me 2c

love the ideas mate, personally I think the bass needs another layer to make it stand out a bit more. I see what sound you are going for, but it just needs another layer to brighten it up. With that layer maybe add a reverb with predelay or sidechain the reverb to the bass. feel free to PM me if you need further details :)

as for the break(s) fitting, i think it does. as suggested above try layering the chords with a piano, and bring the sustained lead in later. On the 2nd drop maybe try to get another layer going with that sustained lead to add variation to the 2nd drop.

You mentioned the mix is not priority at the moment so I wont comment on that now. Best of luck buddy, hope to hear the finished version!

I might be crazy but is there a change in the synth from 3:28 to 3:31? Just a subtle frequency shift?

And as for personal taste, the track drops off pretty abrubtly, but maybe you are going for that style.

Reminds me alot of how Matt Lange - High Noon ends. Everytime I listen to that song I cry that there isnt more after the end of that track.

Thats deep bro, and I totally feel it!!!  ???

Hey guys,

here is a little update..

https://soundcloud.com/areszofficial/dec-28/s-nTTeL

Things fixed:

1. Kick
2. Vocal - added lil compression
3. Break - added pads
4. Build to main drop - snare roll, fixed lowpass kick
5. Minor transition stuff - still need to work on it some more

I also played around with the groove of the bassline, need to spend more time with it. Hope it is an improvement from the first link!

Thanks for the help :)

There's definitely something wrong with the kick, you really have to fix that Check your EQ so youre not boosting any weird frequencies and if thats not the case, just get another sample. Not sure about the build-up at 3:15, I think the kick is too lowpassed and it needs some kind of snare roll before the drop, which feels a bit empty imo, needs some pads and stuff to make it shine

Yeah i fixed the kick, there was no processing done. I just eq'd that click out. Will take a look at what you said about the build. Thanks for the feedback :)

Thanks for the great feedback Rob. I couldn't agree more about the groove, just trying to get it right. will take lots of experimenting. Will give it another go over the weekend

All of that is coming from a white noise layer? That's crazy. Also that's super cool of Johan.

Cool track.
Not all of it, I would say about 60%. Will upload a clip with and without the white noise later.

Glad you guys like it. I am just working on transitions now.

Please let me know if you would like to know how I made a specific sound, will be happy to help.

Cheers

Thanks for the kind words guys.

I got the idea for the piano chords from Johan Vilborg, he actually helped me out after asking him. (cool guy)

As for the bassline, I am trying to find the right balance in the mix. There is a white noise sample playing the same pattern as the bassline which gives it that distortion, another idea from him. referencing this track




I am still trying to find that sweet spot in mixing the bass with this white noise layer.. I have it going with the Saw Lead as well.

Just to add onto the above mentioned.

Learn how to use the software you have, there are tons of tutorials on youtube which will help you learn. I wouldnt invest in and hardware/online courses yet, it is better to learn from the free tutorials available on the net first. Once you have a good understanding and have a few tracks under your belt, you can then sign up for the more advance courses which will be worth the money you are going to spend (you can find everything on youtube though)

As you go along you can then spend money on hardware. Better than finding out that music production is not for you after spending money.

start off with the basics, how fl studio works. Then find tutorials on tracks you already know (Youtube).

Here are a few links to get you started:

Hope this helps

Good luck :)

Not to familiar with the genre, checked a few tracks out now. However, listening to your track, mix is great, only thing i  feel needs some work is the bassline. It gets kinda repetitive and boring (compared to other tracks in this genre I've heard). maybe use a bouncier pattern.. not sure how to type what i am hearing lol

nice ideas, will be a great track when its done.

I think for now you need to work on the mix. Currently the mix is all over the place. Take a reference track, something similar to yours then try to adjust your levels to match the reference track.
