Description : My first attempt at something dub-techno... ish...
Had fun making this track and learnt new stuffs.

Hope you'll like it, feedback greatly appreciated.

Edit : finally took the time to remaster this one, as suggested. It sounds clearer to me now, still need feedback!

I had a brief moment of clarity once, but I didn't like it!! Love this though, even if it is a little rough around the edges! Great build and atmoshere.

Gollum's cyberpunk future brother emerging from a tangled swamp of broken cables. Nice!

I'd agree with FB though. Could use some mastering. I dumped the track into Logic, EQd (roll off everything below 50hz, big dip at 430Hz to clear up the whooshing, turning off later in the track, big up on the top end +24db HP over 10k to add a bit of sparkle), Multipressor and limiter and the track sounds a ton better (to me anyway).

Thanks for the tips, really appreciated. Like I said to FR, the system I'm using to compose is not the best so sometimes it's hard to master such tracks (that and the fact that I definitely should put more effort into mastering!).

Anyway, really liked your description with the brother of Gollum!!

I decided to stop for another one as i enjoyed the last so much.
There's good ideas going on in this tune, It reminds me a little of Leftfield in some respects. But, (I hate doing "buts" but we all need 'em sometimes) it's a bit "crowded" sounding, especially round the low frequencies. Ah! Now that windy thing has stopped i can hear whats going on. There's your culprit! If you take some of the low end out of that then problem solved really.
The rest of it is really good so a one minute tweak would make all the difference in this case.

Buts are why I put such tracks here, esp. when it's a genre I'm not used to. So thanks for the real feedback! I don't have a good system when it comes to low freq so it's always hard for me to tweak that part. I wanted to give the impression of a overwhelming sound but I guess it was too much. Well, I'll fix that asap and see how it goes, thanks again for the comments!

oh superb, love the swirly background rhythm...i think that swirly stays a bit too loud for too long, could be good if that drops back a bit as the perc becomes more complex...otherwise, way cool...gonna have to look into this genre more....dbl

Hello dbl, thanks for the feedback, really appreciated. You're right it maybe is a bit too much for too long, will lower that earlier in the track and see how it goes.

Check the reissue of Porter Ricks' Biokinetiks for the ultimate experience in dub-techno, lol. Cheers...

Description : Grunge, Gospel and Latino vibes track... I tried using my voice as a guitar by using some heavy distortion. I need to write a song to this but I'm too lazy and want to move on to the next project lol

Description : A blend of heavy bass, melodic piano vibes, and atmospheric synth textures. I wanted to create a sound that balances powerful low-end energy with emotional melodies and subtle sonic layers.
I'm still learning and improving my production skills. I'd really appreciate your honest feedback on the overall sound, mixing, bass balance, melody, and arrangement.

This is one of my latest experiments in EDM production. Hope you enjoy listening!

Very much beginner, but I do want to write a better song (I feel like a Cornball)
And maybe some lyrics to go with it and sing (CRINGE)

Description : Hey everyone, I'm sharing my new track with you. The main motif comes from a sample by Mike Hayes titled "Lament." I added a few extra touches, some drums, and vocals from the phonk genre-I thought it would be an interesting fit. Let me know how it sounds!

Description : Still We Praise is a faith-centred song about God's grace, the struggles of life and the power of praise. It is a reminder that, despite the evil, pain and sorrow in the world, our hope remains in Jesus. From a cry for restoration to a declaration of praise, the song brings together people from all walks of life in worship of the King of Kings.
