The bang in the intro immediately drew my attention which is good, also the tension brought about by the dissonance in the filtered chord is a nice touch. Some fizzy saw is playing around 40 seconds and I think that part can be mixed better, I feel like you wanted some type of tightness out of it (just an assumption) and I didn't feel that when I heard it, the sound felt a bit stripped down and didn't have the body that I was anticipating, plus it was competing a bit with that intense pluck you have. A little filling in some mid range frequencies with your bass sounds and cutting of those fuzzy highs (maybe by reducing noise) can help. Soundcloud's dithering tendencies may also be mucking up your track a tiny bit, but if the mix and instruments were tweaked just right this song would be killer! also just a few more transitions would sound stellar

All...The...Time...

Ive found ways to get around it though, I can share with you a sequences I use to basically keep me from hating music...

Step one - Take a walk in the neighborhood. Get some quiet, enjoy nature, even if its late at night - the world is your oyster.

Step two - After you take said walk, cook up some food - not sure about you but I find standing over a hot stove and enjoying a good meal is as calming as meditation (maybe I'm just weird)

Step three - Make some coffee/espresso (drink that strong stuff) and actively search for the shittiest, poorly written and produced music you can find... think about why you hate it. This should both help your diminishing ego, and teach you a lesson on what not to do with your music

Step four - after you've analyzed some pretty bad music, listen to a few songs that really inspire you, and focus on what makes those songs appeal to you, along with their subtleties.

Step Deadmau5 - hopefully you will feel some level of inspiration now and can work on your song without being too bored. If not, at the very least you got some exercise and a good meal lol.

I wrote a melody out the other day and did a little bit of fun ambient stuff in the background! Comments/criticism or whatever else you want to say is always appreciated

Hey, nice song! Very long track so its a bit of a slow burner (which I don't necessarily dislike, but are sometimes hard to pull off). You introduce some different instruments throughout to keep things fresh and I like your choice in melody/harmony when the stringy synth comes in, but I feel like the instruments could be better produced. A lot of the textures you have in here don't seem to change enough for how long the song is. Listen to Strobe by deadmau5 as a decent example of a song that slowly progresses while remaining interesting- this song has potential, but should vary a bit more. Along the lines of mixing, the track seems very spatially narrow, frequencies sound like they were cut out of instruments to make things blend better, but it seemed a little excessive Especially for how low the sub is thats playing under the kick (consider exciting your bass sounds with different types of distortions that way upper harmonics translate better to different sound systems). Try adding different sounds or play a lot more with filter modulations to keep the sonics from becoming too overbearing, its a bit too stationary for how long the song is. Hope this made sense lol, enjoyed your song but thats just my two cents - happy producing!

Hey! Great track, nice mixing and cool composition. I think the various textures you introduce throughout the song fit very smoothly in the arrangement and the melody is fresh and prevents the music from becoming boring. One thing I would consider changing is the snare buildup into the first breakdown, maybe by adding another roll underneath but at a faster speed (Possibly in triplets) lowered and filtered a little to draw out more intensity. I feel like there is enough room in the track to just add a little extra (Like drums or maybe just a few more melodic layers) in some parts as well

I'll give you some real genuine and good feedback.

Great composition. It definitely does stick in your head (idk what that other guy is talking about.)

I'm assuming based on this that you haven't had much experience mastering. You DEFINITELY need to do some hard work and learn how to master well. It's so crucial. I can help you along if you want just message me and I'll help you with what I can. Song is catchy, positive, with a little bit of funk in it. I like it.

Mastering is a huge thing to learn right off the bat. I can't stress enough how important learning to master is!

Sounds design is good as well. (Idk if you did it yourself or presets, but the sounds all fit eachother so well done on that.)


Sorry that guy above me was such a downer. Let me know if you want/need help with anything! I'm willing to do what I can.

Thank you! I like creating 95% of my sounds from scratch, so no presets in this one. I think the only sounds I didn't design myself were the kick and snare, which were from a random sample pack I used. Sound design to me is one of the most fun parts about making music

Hey everyone! I'm a new member to this forum and thrilled to be a part of this awesome and talented community of producers!    Anyways, I'm working on a new track, not sure what to label the genre but I would really appreciate any kind of input on the composition so far ( How it is, where it can go, what I can do better etc...) I would rather not discuss the mix because I'm really not at that stage in the song yet, but any helpful advice on the music itself will be greatly appreciated
