Progressive House WIP - need feedback.
« on: January 17, 2016, 12:18:49 pm »
Hi everyone. I have been working on this track for a long time now, and I decided to post it here to hear what you guys think of it.

I haven't done a proper mastering yet.

Thanks in advance!

Try add some more elements in it. To me, it sound kinda empty. The idea is cool though, but it need more work on the "design" if you know what I mean, keep it interesting! ;)

I think the synths need to come down in the mix a little. Also the last lower note on that synth riff (at 2:26 and 2:33 for example) is clashing with the others.


More generally, the track is a bit bare as matey said above. It needs moar things. I like that bassline though, and the beats are solid.

Nice one!  First, what I like:
The supersaw chords are awesome.
The bass is nice and thick, and the syncopated rhythm is very energetic.
Nice sidechained risers, good buildups.
Overall a good mix -- not muddy or too busy! Sounds really good.

What I'd work on:
As others said, more elements. The first 1:30 especially, could use some melody OR pad OR arpeggio.. something besides the bassline.
The silent moments at 2:00 and 4:00.. I'm torn on that. I like it because it leaves me hanging, but I feel like there could be a little something in there to tell me the song's not over yet. Maybe a reverse reverb of the synth line that's coming, a quiet little riser, a sample of something/someone...

Overall, great work!
