AnnieTP - Experiment_6 (Looking for some advice...)
« on: May 31, 2016, 08:06:53 pm »
Hi again.

I recently finished a song and I'm wondering if I could please get some thoughts on it? What needs to be improved? There must be at least one thing. Like the repetition, for example. I think there's too much repetition in this song.
It's a sad little progressive house song. It ended up sounding a lot like _5 so I decided to wrap it up.

Thanks in advance.

-Annie

Pretty much all of the problems in this track are just due to inexperience. The kick needs to hit harder. Learn how to sidechain and compress. Also learn how to gain stage. Keep producing man. Sample selection is also important. Learn how to EQ and automate a little bit more.

i would definitely want to hear more variation in the sounds so it doesn't sound to repetitive also work on your mixing a bit i feel the bass is a bit overpowering

Yeah I agree, the bass is definitely overpowering.

Thanks for the advice again. I'll try to make my next song less repetitive.

The kick needs to hit harder.
Which version of the kick, the layered one in the climax or the kick that plays everywhere else?

Both kicks. I would suggest finding a good sounding kick instead of layering. Sample choice > layering/post processing
