Same Day Track
« on: January 07, 2016, 10:41:16 am »
Literally Made this song right now, I started at 12 Midnight stopped at 2:30am. To be honest I'm not entirely satisfied with it though the final product was up to par with the standards I had set prior to starting the new project. I use Fl Studio 11, and my main focus for this track was mixing and mastering. Any feedback what so ever would be greatly appreciated.

This is really neat!

The kick feels like it's pitched up too high, and it's too thumpy. Perhaps try a new sample? Cool melody, though!

Also, it could use some variation in the "drop" as it gets a bit bland. Try another synth layer, or even new chords maybe. :)

I think there is too much sidechain going on.

Thanks for replying! I just jumped into this song with no real idea musically of what I'd like to make but the chord progression came out alright. I might have over done it with the compression on the kick, I was feeling adventurous lulz. I'll definitely add another synth preferably one with more movement, maybe even a melody should my creativity be generous enough to allow me to do so. As for the sidechain compression I will lighten up a bit but for the most part that's the sound I was aiming to achieve. I'm definitely gonna work on it again soon and post a follow up.

Any one have any good kick samples they're willing to share? I've been digging through Fl Studio's stock sample library for sometime and can admit it gets boring on occasion. Once again anything will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here's the track with the adjustments. I'm gonna save this song for future reference but I don't think it has as much potential as some of my other projects. Let me know what you think guys.
