Blues EDM WIP
« on: April 25, 2016, 01:41:56 pm »
Hello :) Just wanted to share this cause I don't really know what should I change here. I think to intro is too "light" and requires more things.
The break part with the orchestral might be too long as well, but I kinda like it.

Anyway, hope you'll like it.  8)

I really like this!  I also like orchestral and piano stuff, so the length of that section didn't bother me one bit.  The switch back into guitary sound is kind of sudden though.  The last phrase in the progression (the full one) sounds really good to me.  I guess I just don't like the way you transition into and out of the breakdown.  In both places, it's a bit random and sudden.  The music could end at each of those spots.

interesting vibe. I didn't think I would like it near as much as I do. I do kind of feel the break is a bit long... maybe it needs more of a build to make it feel less long or it just needs to be shortened but I overall, I like where this is going.
The music industry is just a giant fail machine. There are way more broken dreams and failed artists then there are successes to speak of. Therefore, its easy to say the successes are the anomaly and the failure is the product.

I think the track needs some more clarity; it could be soundcloud's 128kbps streaming, but sounds like it's missing some high end and the bass it perhaps a little too muddy - maybe try and reduce a mid/low peak somewhere and see if it clears it up a bit, otherwise I'm definitely diggin' it! :)

The concept of blues in EDM is really appealling to me. I'm sure it will come out in the industry at some point. I really like the drop, it is a VERY GOOD IDEA don't change it. I love it.

I have a problem with all of the other sections. At the beginning of the song there seems to be nothing I can grasp on, not a real concept in which you are working on in this track, I feel like every instrument its doing it's own thing and doesn't care what the other ones are doing. In terms of volume, there is nothing that sticks out to my ears that says "Oh, ok. This is what my attention should be focusing on".

On the breakdown after the first drop, you use some orchestration for that section that feels out of context with the song. That part alone might be a good idea, but in the whole picture of the track I don't feel it works that well, and taking in count the title of the thread, I think you are going more for the bluessy side of things. I would take that orchestral part and build a different song out of that.

I think you should focus on what elements you're using on the drop and build the track around that. I'm serious when I say this has a lot of potential.

I hope to hear and updated track soon.

Immediately raises a smile to my face.
I like it.
The drums are a bit too low on volume for my taste, but overall it sounds great!
Reminds me a bit of Overwerk:
(drop is at 1:05)

Hello everybody :) Sorry for the late reply  :-[

 I'm really glad that most of you liked it. I'm actually working on a new version where I'll improve :

- The intro
- The orchestral break
- The transitions
- Some mixing stuff

I will not post it on SoundCloud, the track doesn't sound really good on it.

Thanks for all your feedback, really apreciate it.  ;D
