welcome to the forum!! this is cool, the fills (like at 3:07) are cool and the drums are very nice.

i think that it mostly sounds good, but is a little heavy on the high end. specifically, the FX during the drop, along with the supersaw hits, sound a little bit harsh. or maybe its that the bass needs some more presence. im not super well versed in melbourne bounce, so it might be fine, but it feels lacking in low end.

this is really clean overall though, best of luck in the contest.

this is the same one from your last thread, right? sounds like its progressed a bit! the drums sound cleaner, which i like.

the vocal chops that come in at 1:20 sound like theyre kind of out of key, which might be intentional but id' be careful there. more than anything, again, it feels like it could still use some more layering and atmosphere. the little drum fills are nice additions, but i think more synth layers could really bring this to another level.

keep at it!!

phuture doom is back and

AHHHHHH its so insane. electronic music needs more angery and he does it really well.

sounds like youve got a good starting point, but it also sounds pretty empty.

i would try referencing some other trance songs you like. a lot of the genre's complexity comes from the layering of different sounds to create progression. that can manifest in poppier tracks like ilan Bluestone's stuff, or in more psy-trance-y stuff like Tezla with just a kick, basses, and ambience. or really whatever inspires you! pick it apart and find the different layers, maybe even try remaking it. it helps a lot. good luck with this, make sure to keep us updated!

i definitely agree with a lot of this.

however, i'd also argue that the other 80% of input does definitely have it's value! for me, that's learning new things about theory, production, and collecting inspiration. while the actual songwriting process only takes up a short portion of your total time, there's a lot that goes into it behind those sessions.

also question for y'all: who is your article is targeted towards? at first it seemed more helpful for someone trying to "go pro" with their music, but now that i think about it i wish i'd had that discipline since day 1 haha anyway good article, thanks for sharing!

i agree with what marrow said! i just recently started layering sub kicks with more mid-high end kicks and it helps a lot. usually just an 808 will do, but using a synthesizer will give u a lot more control versus trying to tame an unruly sample.

wow.

i agree with what marrow said, you've been through a hell of a lot, don't discount the toll that all of that takes on you. at the same time, i hope you keep fighting to create, i believe that you can make it through.
