My First Track! Veska - Reaching The End
« on: August 16, 2016, 04:54:35 am »
Hey everyone! So I am new to this forum and I thought I would post my first track being released under this alias here.

I just started this alias a few days ago and released my first track today. I have been producing for around 3 years on and off with pretty long breaks in between, and I usually make house music. However, this track would classify as trap/future bass I believe. It's very experimental :P

If you want to give it a listen, I would greatly appreciate it!

Not my kind of music. Your mix is solid. Every sound is very pleasing to the ear. You did nice job making fresh melody on chord progression I've heard so many times. The arrangement of the track is great. It manages to keep my interest even though I find this style of music to be boring. The only thing that needs to fixed is that a lot of the percussion needs high frequencies boosted as it sounds too dull. I like using SPL Vitalizer to add that sparkle. Try it! It will work wonders :)

Typing as I listen. The piano seems a little bit too loud. I like how you fade in the drums. Maybe try filtering in that arp.  That kick you used on the drop isnt that great, or maybe eq it better.  Not my type of style of music, but considering its your first track well done. Keep at it. We all start somewhere

Honestly this sounds really harsh...

But I hate that chord progression. I really hate when I hear that chord progression in a song. I call it the the "cheese" chord progression because it sounds like cheese. Especially when you play them all in the most basic 1-3-5 root position on the piano during the intro it makes me cringe.

I think the best part about this track is the arrangement. The structure is pretty clear and it would sound a lot better if it had some sort of vocals on top of it. The melody or the lead lines don't seem to catch my ear much either. (Sorry)

The drop doesn't seem to hit hard enough which would be another con. It also seems a bit repetitive. I think it's like 32 bars? It needs a bit more variation. Either that or shorten it to 16 bars.

Like I said the best thing you got going on here is arrangement. Good job on that. I like how after the first drop I hear some variation as sort of a verse 2. Makes it so things aren't so repetitive after listening to that drop for 32 bars.
