Description : Hello again, Loopermen and women!
I come to you to offer what I feel is another great track, this time of the House persuasion.

Not the M.D., no. Think more along the lines of Daft Punk and Deadmau5 mixed into a nice little track that should be playing as you enter a castle to fight a nasty 8-Bit Dragon. Spell it out for you? I hope you all enjoy it, I'd love feedback on the effects and instruments.

No Looperman Samples used. FL Studio 9 creation.
-If you'd like to collab, let me know-

To add to blackryan's review.

Instrumentation: There are too many sounds that share the same wave type... i.e triangle, square, saw etc (what ever it is you used) and it's a bit difficult to follow what's going on. In other words, they clash.

Try replacing the bass with a sine wave. And the mid's with something else...

Melody: There is *too* much going on. The basis behind most successful tracks is that it has a relatively simple melody and is easy for the listener to follow, with simple chord progressions.

If you have a complex bass line - the synth melody is simple.
If you have a complex melody - the bass is simple.
You are trying to get listener's to focus on one point of the track, and everything else should compliment it.

There are also a lot of very dissonant chords being played which really isn't a good thing in any track. 1 or 2 yeah maybe,... to add tension, but it seems to be a common feature for this track.

The beat: Not bad, but it sits too far back in the mix and it's being dominated by the synths. The beat should sit at the forefront of the mix, with everything else behind it.

Track build: Some nice ideas,... But it was hard to know what was coming next. Successful tracks rely on a certain amount of predictability. Listener's subconsciously analyse your track and reference it to EVERYTHING they have ever listened to and feel comfortable knowing what's coming next. Your job as a producer is to make subtle changes that the listener isn't even aware of.

Most tracks follow a certain "pattern" when it comes to structure and the following is an example:
A = Intro
B = Verse
C = Chorus
D = Bridge
E = Outro

A,B,C,B,C,D,C,C,E
A,C,B,C,B,D,C,E
A,B,D,C,B,D,C,B,D,C,C,E

Your track goes like this:

A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J etc.... There is no real "structure" to it.

The mix: I could write an essay on this subject and not cover everything, but I would suggest reading some articles about it :)

Overall though, I think you need more practice. Watch some tutorials on YouTube for FL studio (there are hundreds, if not, thousands of them), learn MORE about your craft, chord progressions, melody making, track structure, beat making etc

Practice makes perfect :)

Keep at it mate!

sorry i cannot think of anything good i can say about this.

Edit - sorry i was a bit vague I know. I think you need to improve on the composition of the track, the flow of the track, the choice of instrumentation.

And...can you at least say what you think could be improved? Not much point in reviewing if that's all you have to say.

Description : check out janimifsson for these vocals
learning how to do house
good vocal effects
terrible drums
couldnt find a melodic loop to fit the track
figured out the key
the harmony basically matches the melody
probably in some dorian scale or something so
have to learn about that
the drums are my weakest point
good at the start but awful after the beat drop
please comment any songs to listen to to learn drums in this style
any advice please comment

Description : As I was in Berlin recently I was inspired by the Beachhouse Radio from FluxFM . I had a beat lying in a cupboard for years and it was time to do something with it. Together with the great voice of Odarka I did setup a beat that does have a deep feeling to it. I kept it raw and unmastered for now. Let's see where it goes.

Description : Hard energetic banger with a hypnotic techno sounding intro which blasts into the hard drop! The track seems a house track with slight influences of big room and techno fused together.

The track is meant as a true original mix, so being mixed into a set and thereby bringing a high energetic touch to it. It is mastered by Spivkurl, thanks!

Its my first track officially released but my second track that I produced. so.. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! ;) Free DL through soundcloud.

Description : This is straight up Witch House. This is a more "sensuously spooky" remake of the older CBC track I did titled, Lost You Baby. I have no idea what language the lyric track is. This track definitely has the atmosphere of the genre it represents. It's a regular witch house poster child. So if you're not familiar with the genre, Here ya go.
