They're pretty good for the price, but when it comes to the low end they're inaccurate, it becomes boomy the more you turn it up. I check my final mixes on them though, and it helps.

My friend works in a professional studio, so he'll be mixing it down himself for free.

Great original man! Old progressive house mixed in with the new, Audien feels :D Great job! Downloading it right now!

The intro to Colonia reminds me a lot of Pryda, same kind of bass/bassline. When it gets to the main part, it sounds really dark. The nice sounds you add in there just make it perfect to listen to at a club, afterhours.
Stairways sounds more EDM-ish, aimed for the mainstage. I could see Steve Angello dropping this in a festival/club set. It's just pure straight up energy, we need more tracks like this.
Definitely enjoyed your EP man, downloaded the tracks, will use them in my live sets!

Interesting tune mate! I really enjoyed it. To be honest with you, this sorta reminds me of the Matrix soundtrack. Same sorta sounds haha

What makes me different as a producer is the melodies, the chords, and emotions I put into my productions. The thing that I bring to the table is my experiences throughout my life, I've gone through a lot of negative moments, but instead of letting those moments go to waste, I express them in my productions. Every chord, melody, idea I have reflects/references different moments in my life. That roller coaster of emotions I've experienced the last 10 years allows me to create music that uniquely reflects who I am.

Very bright tune mate! Drums sound really tight, lyrics are really happy, and instrumentation is very on point. The only I'd suggest is add an effect or two to the arpeggio. This tune definitely captures some of the funkiness that Madeon's tunes have, maybe not the exactly same with the bass, but the vibe is there. Did you record the guitar yourself? :)

I used to be very into playing instruments. I played clarinet in middle school, and before I quit playing I was playing college level orchestra music, Mozart's clarinet concerto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3EJqvKhYzY
There came a point in which I felt that the clarinet required too much discipline, so in 7th grade I decided to play saxophone and double bass. In 7th grade jazz band, I played double bass, it was really challenging! I actually was pretty small compared to the bass, but I spent many hours practicing to get my hands adjusted to it and know where every note was. So I did that, played double bass and bass guitar up into 10-11th grade, at that point I discovered deadmau5, and as you can guess, I decided that I was going to spend all my time invested in FL studio. And now I'm here, producing all kinds of stuff...it's been a fun ride, wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world :P

Here's an original I've spent a lot of time on, started it about 2 years ago, and now it's finally coming together. Let me know what you think. I'm sending it to a professional studio to get mixed, so the mix issues will be fixed :)

Wow...I really enjoyed this tune. It's very emotional, ambient, you created a atmosphere with it. What's your soundcloud man, I wanna follow you :)

This has a ton of potential, hopefully you find the right person to collab with. It could go tropical house, or progressive house, like Martin Garrix's style :)

Alright, so it seems you're trying to make a old style rap/hip hop or trap beat. What I first recommend doing is coming up with a chord progression, and decide on the key signature. The one you have I can't really tell what key it is, but load it up on a piano so you can hear the actual notes. Then, from there, try to add variation every 8-16 bar phrase near the end, so the listener doesn't get too used to it. If you don't know key signatures, read up some music theory on the basic scales. It'll really help you figure out what key you want to make it in, go off what you feel :)

So far, sounds very good. Reminds me of old Avicii :) Smooth guitar with synths. Add a riser in the build, that goes up two octaves. The drop is a good basic idea, but if you want it to stand out, try to get the leads to sound very powerful.
An example of a track that you could use to see how you could get your leads to sound is this one: https://soundcloud.com/flashoverrecordings/nobra-evelyn-download
Good luck perfecting the track mate!
