Festival Bounce [Updated]
« on: January 18, 2016, 02:15:19 am »
Added a new version I've been working on. Still have a lot of EQ/compression/limiting to do, but I'd still love any feedback.

- Added some bass to the drop, have to still limit and add Kickstart
- Gonna fix the bridge

Leave a  track and i'll give feedback and ty

----------------------------
This is a track I've been working on for a while, and at first I wasn't gonna upload it but fuck it I'm curious as to what people think. I have about 10 tracks semi-complete.. but I have a horrible time actually finishing any of them. For whatever reason I seem to just give up and say it's not good enough.. but this one I want to finish even if it's just for pure experience, which I really think I could benefit from.

Anything after the drop is just future ideas and possible arrangement, haven't got that far yet as I wanted to finish the first half of the song before moving on.

Questions

- Is the song entertaining? Yeah, I know.. "big room" but I personally like big room and almost all other genres too

- It's not 100% mixed, compressed, EQ'd and all that but I'd love feedback anyways on what you think can be EQ'd to give more presence or has too much presence

- Stereo field? I'm thinking about panning a few drum instruments

- General feedback?

I'm going to upload a future house song I wrote the other day as well, maybe in a week or so once I complete more sections of the track, as of now it's just a drop.

Thanks guys!

Comment a song of yours and I will give you a complete and thorough review!

Some of my own quick points

- Going to fix the supersaw layer so the flanger isn't so strong
- Needs more warmth in the drop supersaws
- There is no reverb on the drop supersaws yet, will play around with that
- Fix snare build volume level/ lower other layers/ reverb on snare-clap layer
- Tune the volume automation of lead

Hey man, I like the idea but could def use some EQ'ing like you mentioned at the top. MayB throw a top kick or a small pop over your kick to bring it over the mix a little more. Def Eq the shit out of that lead and get the lows out. That way it'll give your kick some room to break through. I'm no expert on EQing but it's what I'd do! Utilize a ride in and maybe a clap at certain point in the drop to make it more interesting! Def has potential if you give it the time. keep at it man!

you could work on ur volume, and on the drop, ur bass is not powerful enough. it needs to be harder.

Been working on every instrument's EQ, will continue tomorrow on my day off and I'll probably finish it up. I'll be sure to upload a revised link and thank you for your feedback brother I appreciate that.

I like your suggestion to add a pop over the kick, the ride and clap, and of course fixing up the lead. Gonna work on implementing some of that asap

Thanks again for your feedback it's beyond helpful

I recently put on a few tracks by Blasterjaxx, Showtek, W&W, and cranked my speaker volume up to 25 rather than 10-12 which I mix/produce at.. and I noticed my overall track volume is really terrible.

A large portion of that probably has to do with EQ/compression which I haven't really gotten into yet, but these 'professional' songs absolutely kill it in terms of utilizing the entire frequency spectrum and getting the most out of each instrument.

I also found a good bass for the drop (you're right - the current drop did not has a bass synth yet) so I'll put that in and work on that for sure.

Thank you for your feedback and I'm gonna listen to both of your tracks on Wednesday and review them! Unfortunately I won't get to it tonight between work, gym, and brother's birthday.

Thanks again

I actually just bought Kickstart yesterday, haven't installed it yet but I'm excited to see how well it works!

I'll play some new lead layers, thank you. Have a song you'd like me to review for you?
