Finished Tracks / Re: Confesiones! New Track
« on: May 11, 2016, 11:17:40 am »
Interesting backstory. I think you may have meant to spell "confessions" though.

For the most part composition if fine; I know you planned on introducing rap vocals to the song, but in the mean time this song is almost 6 minutes long and does get monotonous. There's not much song sectioning (I singled out 2, maybe 3, parts), which contributes to it greatly. You can keep it fresh just by adding some contrast instead of one long stretch and an ending. Mixing is fine here, but the hats should be a little quieter. Decent song overall.

For Jastun - Down:

It needs a lot of work. The intro leads could use more "movement": sounds like they're just straight sounds. Their sounds don't change at all, so it just sounds flat. More flat than necessary.
- The snares and claps are too loud.
- The open hat sounds...not so good. It's much too loud, and seems to be affected in some -way...maybe a poor filter or distortion. I'm not sure.
- The arp that enters at 2:35 is repetitive and slightly out of tune. Annoying.
- Is there a melody or hook that holds the song together? It could use one.
- Maybe the snares could use a little reverb.

For Jastun - T.U.N.K.:

This one is a little better. The kick is took clicky, and a little too quiet though.
- Claps are too loud again.
- Again, feels like it's missing a proper main melody.
- The lead that appears at 2:01 sounds out of key, and it's annoying because the rhythm it's given is repetitive and clumsy. And it's too loud. It sticks out.
- The ending could be a little better...as in, more finished. Maybe it could be more melodic. Your melodies are very "vague". They don't create an impression.

So, in summary, you need to work on your mixing, sound design, arrangment, and composition. And if the feedback sounded like a roast, don't worry... I probably need to work on my mixing, sound design, arrangment, and composition, more than you do.

There's nothing here. Are you talking about this?

Well, it sounds pretty good. Mixing is short of almost perfect, the kick is too quiet and I feel like the song has either a weak sub or is missing one altogether. I'm a little disappointed that the second drop was identical to the first; you could have changed somethings, or gone for something different, because you had an opportunity to.

Good job though.

First off, welcome to the forum. I think the musicians here will be happy to answer your questions. About your song:

- The background vocal chops are at right angles with your vocals. They're incoherent melodically in places. It creates a mess. Luckily it didn't hurt the song that much.
- The audio clip you threw in at 2:08 actually feels like you just threw it in with the other things. It doesn't fit.
- Mixing is fine for the most part; kick could've been a little louder. Usually I want the kick to be louder than the snare and hats but not overpowering.

Other than that, good job. Hopefully you get a few more opinions.

Noted, thanks for the feedback.

Also, I don't mean to be that guy, but do you know how to edit your signature?

The arps in the drops stick out too much. The kick fits the style, but it seems a bit loud too. Looking past that, the arrangement, section contrasting, and sound design are very good. The bitcrush ending completely made the outro for me. I was thinking "I hope he used bitcrush automation for his ending" and you pleasantly surprised me! Good remix.

Also, did I hear a "twirl" at 3:23?

There's too much repetition, especially in regard to the bongos, strings, and vocals. Don't worry, I'm a victim of this too. For elements like strings, try automating it every now and then to keep it from getting monotonous. Your listeners will lose interest if you keep constantly repeating the same hook/melody. Also, I think the vocals should have taken mixing priority over the strings, not the other way around. And your intro is a bit too sudden on the end...Well done overall though.

Finished Tracks / Re: Future bass Remix track
« on: April 26, 2016, 07:21:29 pm »
Nice and chilly...

Everything was very well put together for the most part. The song had a good amount of repetition except for the drop. Just some little changes in notes could change that though. Also, the intro piano seems to be "clicking" a little, at least on my speakers. Your mixing is good but seems a little "underdeveloped"; it's not really a problem though. I wouldn't give it much thought unless you want to make a career of your music.

It sounds a lot like the original. The mixing was okay for the most part, but I feel like there may have been some minor clipping. I'm probably wrong though. Good arrangement and composition, but I feel like you could have done more with the vocals. Lastly, the ending was a little sudden, but I'll let it pass.

Funny, I thought there was enough contrast (if that's what you mean.)

I agree with you on the x4, repetition, and mixing points though.

Does it remind you of any particular video game?

Thanks for the feedback. It helps me very much.

WIPs / Re: Chillout Melvv/Attom style tune in progress
« on: April 24, 2016, 11:28:40 pm »
You've captured the style very well. I like it. A note:

- The kick needed some work. Starting at 0:39, the kick really stuck out. I don't think the kick you used suits the style. It should sound "deeper", as in, a little more going for it in the bass area (ex: Direct - Tranquility starting at 0:54. I couldn't find a more relevant example) like that. Then in the second drop (I'm just going to call it that) I was straining to hear the kick at all.

Roughly speaking, well done thus far. Nothing jumped out at me in a bad way except for the kick.

Samples/Plugins/Software/Gear / Re: what synthesizer are you using right now?

I think I'm slowly learning more about Harmor. Generally though, I use most of the stock plugins on FL.

WIPs / Re: 80s sound wip
« on: April 23, 2016, 05:49:03 pm »
Sounds good so far. I used to listen to 80's music a whole lot more than I do now, but I can tell. That does have 80's vibes. Really, it seems a bit early in the production to give much feedback. Are you planning on maybe doing a smoother, laid back section with an eighth note bassline?

Thanks for the remarks. =3
I have already started work on my next song, and it's somewhat similar. I will keep in mind what you have said when I make it.

WIPs / Re: Fewchure Baes... Searching for a rapper person who can do some chill vocals !
« on: April 23, 2016, 05:37:47 pm »
Your intro feels just right. I like how you used a mix of bright and dark sounds in your opening. I'm assuming 1:02 is where the rapper would start rapping...If you can't find a rapper you may have to fill it with something else, because that saw can only hold attention for so long on its own. At 1:34, when the drum come in, they're overpowered by the leads, especially the kick. That should be not too hard to fix though. Also, it's a WIP, I know, but I feel like it needs an ending.
