I think you can make that piano melody better that comes in at 2:35, especially the way it comes in. It could be better.

I had to be nit picky because this track is great! Ill have to listen to the original so I can see how it compares. GOod luck in the comp! 8)

good job! I know what you mean about sitting on a track.

I love the journey of this track, and the way it makes you think.
I think this track maybe started to sound stale to you after a while and it became hard to finish it, I have that problem all the time. Anyways, I think you could have a big tempo slow down section somewhere and change up the drums just in the one section to switch it up a little.  wouldnt hurt to try.

The drop at 2:12 could use some white noise to bring more energy into it, and maybe a couple of other elements for the same reason.

I think you should try to finish this so more people could hear it!  ;D

damnnn. I could learn a lot from you.  Sick beats.

the big lead takes up a lot of space on the frequency spectrum and its drowning everything else out including the kick.  It also might be too loud so lowering the volume might solve most of the problems.  but, if you cut some of the harsh sounds, and also cut in places where the kick drum hits so the kick has more room to kick, then it will sound more punchy.  Cool intro =) nice job overall keep working

Hey everyone!  Hope all is well.

I need help.  Im really excited about this track and I am really determined to finish it, but lately its been hard and discouraging for me to finish it because I've been listening to it over and over and its losing its impact on me, and its starting to get stale. I may have to resist listening to it for a couple days to get a fresh perspective, and thats what im looking for from you guys.  8)

So anything that you feel like would positively contribute to me finishing this track would be much appreciated! I welcome all feedback except the douchey kind  :)


UPDATED 3/7/16:

So I've been squeezing in time to work on this track these past few weeks and im experimenting with a new guitar I added as well as several other changes.  This school semester in combination with a girlfriend makes it pretty hard to finish this BUT I MUST! With the help of everyone hopefully!

soundcloud really ruins the quality of your sounds sometimes. oh well. please excuse the sloppy mixing as well!

WIPs / Re: Need some feedback on this, feels like im stuck in a loop
« on: January 19, 2016, 02:15:09 am »
nice job! good idea..this can make people dance and this melody gives me a nice feeling  :D

but, lets put it this way.  it sounds average because if you break down the track and criticize every element, everything is mostly average sounding.  The build/drop, the melody, the sounds/samples you chose, the drums, because its just a kick by itself.  Of course we all assume that the track progresses with more drums, but since you gave a very short piece to use, its hard to judge that.  If you want to be above average you have to put more attention to detail, not be cookie cutter, and find a signature sound or something that is consistent in all your work.

Finally, theres no way to judge how the track got to that point or what happens after. how you bring in different elements makes a big difference in the track being hot or not.

take care  :)

congratulations on finishing your first track! I have had the same problem for years, and im sure we're not alone. Its one thing to make a great idea, its another to take the listener on a journey and tell a story for 4-5 minutes. good job!

im not gonna try to nit pick your track but ill give one recommendation.  The new bass that comes in at 3:24 needs to have a different rhythm so it can be more dancy or catchy. It sticks out like a sore thumb in the context of the track because it sounds kind of lazy, because I know you can do better than that based on hearing everything else you created.

great job again and take care  :D

In 2007 I purchased the compilation "In search of Sunrise 6" compiled by DJ Tiesto and it changed my life. I've always liked electronic music but here in the U.S. I was only exposed to Prodigy and infected mushroom and stuff like that.

With me being extremely creative and artistic growing up, I've always drawn, played the guitar, wrote lyrics, etc but it was until 2008 when I started composing electronic music that I finally found my favorite avenue for creating and expressing what words simply cannot.

Great, catchy track! I think that the track progresses way too fast in the whole 1st minute, at least.  Also you could bring the main lead in at a later point in time to increase the impact of it, and use pieces of the melody early on to tease them, not even necessarily using the same sound either. Good job again!
