Just a small WIP chorus thing
« on: January 06, 2016, 02:01:13 am »
So yeah, this is just a small thing I've been working on for a while.. It's really hard to come up with an intro/buildup for it though.. Just let me know what you think!

kick is really punchy and drums are crisp. the arp is really cool aswell. i think you could improve the saw a little however. but impressive overall

Might need some more "Air" you know ? Try puting some top reverb on your high end it will sound fuller and richer without affecting the spectrum as a high boost could do !

I love the fills you have in there in between the chords. Everything sounds clear and crisp. Maybe after 0:30 change the rhythm of the chords or maybe throw in a new chord in there to keep it more interesting!

this is sounding great !
i think if you were to add in some hi-hats, maybe a small plucky / reverb-y arp playing consistently in the background, and possibly a layer on that lead, it could add a little something that's missing.
just some suggestions, keep it up !

Ok, from what you've all said I'm gonna go and add an accent to the chords, a background arp, and just sorta make things a bit nicer. I'll hopefully add an updated version here soon, but seriously thank you for the advice!

right now your mix is really being dominated by those chords and your sub, i personally think itd be beneficial to turn down the sub and focus a little bit more on your 6HZish range. I reccomend reading up on the Fletcher Munson curve, it shows how we perceive volume and its a good place to start learning how to make your mix crisper :) composition is nice and sound design is cool too!

Ok, I've tried editing it all a bit. I added a bit more in the 6-ishkHz bit, as well as toning down the bass. I tried adding a background arp but I could get it to fit without sounding too cluttered.. But yeah, let me know if this is better or worse or anything!

So, I know it's been ages, but that track I put in this WIP is now done! You can have a listen to it here if you'd like:
But yes, just wanted to say thanks for the advice you all gave me, it really did help out a lot so.. Thanks :)
