Tech House | Matt Lange/Deadmau5 Inspired
« on: June 23, 2016, 02:40:42 am »
Hey everyone I've been working on this track lately. I've been in a very strange creative space the past few months. And I'm really making more minimal and tech house work. I'd love any input on this! I know it's not the most popular genre on this forum but I'd love any feedback on how the mix sounds and flows. Very inspired by Matt Lange lately and of course Deadmau5 always.

honestly not much bad I can say about it! I think you definitely hit your target. Very Deadmau5'y It is mixed well and the tune sounds very balanced. Obviously it's a WIP but maybe add a few more layers? Get some pads going, maybe another arp. Aside from that, good shit :)

Really diggin this. I've been on a Matt Lange binge recently. Nothing really stands out as "bad" to me. However, I think I can add some input to a few ideas to make them better.

Your chords are great. Love how they build up through the entire song. As you get to around 1:20, its starts to sound a *tad* repetitive. What would be could is if you automated the attack time on the synth amp. For a few beats or whatever, bring up the automation, then bring it down. It adds interest, and it (might) sound cool.

At 2:15, maybe add a filter on the kick to cut out a few of the lows. It (kind of) sounds strange when the kick has bass, but the sub isn't there.

Also, maybe add a few ambient/dark synths with high reverb to put them in the back. It could add tons of depth.


Again, GREAT work. Love this a lot. These are suggestions only to improve your already amazing track. Keep at it bro and HMU if you want more feedback!
