Nu Disco (I think) | Needs vocals
« on: January 08, 2016, 12:24:33 am »
For the most part this is finished, needs some polishing and rearranging. I am currently looking for a vocalist, if anyone has any interest or knows anyone willing to collaborate.

Also, is the piano solo at the end very realistic?

Be honest, I would appreciate constructive criticism.

You did a great job with the arrangement and musical ideas. No critiques there, it has a good sense of energy and flows nicely.

The mix needs work, I feel like the low/mid end is lacking especially compared to the snare which is the only element really thumping. I would say get the kick sounding solid, and mix around that.

The solo at the end sounds pretty good, you could probably nudge some notes to be slightly off the grid a bit more and fine tune the velocity but it sounds good man, definitely something I would love to hear finished.

I think that the song sounds awesome!! I would say that that filter you have on after the drop ends might hold for a little bit too long, but that might just be my opinion. I think you are completely fine on the arrangement though and if you could find a vocalist that would definitely push it up a level. Good work though!

This is really good, some things I noticed are the low end for the first couple of minutes (it's a bit lacking, like that other reply said), and the lead synth that starts somewhere around 2:30 seems a bit overpowering. Composition wise, this is phenomenal
