Alan Watts + Minimal Tech... very interesting
« on: March 17, 2016, 07:27:26 pm »
Hi all, this is a little different than what I usually do! I went on a tangent but decided to go with the flow. Anyway this is what I ended up creating. I wanted to get full, clean, crisp sounds without much layering so let me know if you think it was accomplished right! Any tips and comments welcomed (:

God damn nice work with the basses and synths.

But, the percussion in this track is lacking, and I feel the track is almost too minimal at times. The percussion feel sloppy and lack rhythm. I'd make the percussion more fast phased and rhytmic, using a volumeshaper or some shit like that. Also the snare and snares feel kind of weird to me. I feel that a strong snare or a snareclap would support a minimal track like this reallly well.

The percussion levels are a bit of too. They're too loud and in your face in my opinion. I'd make them more subtle, but snappier.

Some more FX's and some kind of reverby stabs would also do justice for this track. Also, im not sure about the 808 trappy part, it sounds pretty weird but it's nice to hear some different styles.
