Candi Crush - happy funky EDM/trance thing
« on: February 01, 2016, 12:23:57 am »
'sup peeps.

I'm starting to hit the limits of my production knowledge with this so I'm gonna shelve it for a bit while I go to synth school.

I could really use some detailed feedback on this, in particular which bits of it sound good enough to be part of a professional track and which don't. I've been working on it so long I can't tell any more. I've been working pretty much entirely in headphones too, so people with decent monitor setups.. hello :)

The second buildup is gonna get changed out and I know the panning/stereo image needs some work.. apart from that, shoot.

Also I can't decide if the title sucks (it's a reference to the original inspiration for the track), or if it's just corny enough to get away with :D

I'm thinking of putting the stems up if anybody wants to copy, tweak, remix or just downright steal bits of it.. let me know

Thanks y'all!

If you're trying for a drop around the 6:17 mark, consider working on the release of tension around there, because that's a large part of what makes a drop work. As is stands right now, the most detectable tension is the high pass filter on the white noise which doesn't really go anywhere. The progression is really great, though!

Interesting, nobody's commented on that drop before. Will see if anyone else brings it up, cheers
