Description : Hey guys, here is my attempt at making my "own sound." This is like a mix of glitch hop, chill, and chill step. I don't really know what I'm doing here bc I'm just kind of winging the entire creation of the song, so I'm hoping to get some feedback to help me figure out which direction this track is going to end up in. Thanks so much!

P.s. the dub step drums are from looperman, but I can't remember which user, but they are great so thanks!

If you have time take a listen and give 15ludwicke some feedback.
Hey that was really pretty soothing! I like the piano/synth work on this a lot. The drums are good as is, but it could lend itself to other styles of drums as well, like StaticNomad suggested. I think the vocal part was my least favorite part. While it sound cool, I think it might be a bit overused. Would be cool if you got an actual singer on this, and used those sampled parts as like a hook or something. Enjoyable listen for sure!
great start
there's that subtle noise riser right before 1:12 and it sounds good as is
but maybe add a more distinct synth/vox riser starting at like 1:07/1:08 - it could sound cool!
I like this. Not so keen on that dubstep drum loop. Just because I don't much like that sound that I've heard in a million dubstep tracks. But but but: lots of people clearly do love it and, when it enters, the whole track comes together and you sort of "know where you are".
"they are great so thanks!"
See: you already disagree with me so just go with what you like.
Very first fading in arpeggiated synth is nice and with a good pulse. Then good piano (?) chords. Interesting tone to that instrument.
Effected vocal is good and gives it some character.
Percussive element that's heard most clearly in the breakdown middle has a good sound and reverb.
Overall: this actually sounds a lot like many other tracks in this style. But it's good and deep and relaxing.
To give it a lot more character, I'd say completely remove that dubstep drum loop and go for different drums that do a similar job but aren't so cliched. Acoustic drum kits would sound less predictable for this style but then I would say that as I love acoustic kits (and have loads of them, as you've heard many times).
While I guess you'll keep the dubstep loop, at least give what I'm suggesting a go as you may find a very cool drum sound that takes this in another direction. It's too short so you need another direction. You can always blend the new drum sound with you dubstep loop.
Try adding some swing jazz drums - that would be interesting. Try playing some chilled out chugging metal guitar chords.

Love that intro. The piano chords are interesting and well executed...Wow, those drums. Beautiful. Nice and big. Whatever you have here, keep chasing it. I really like those big drums. It'd be cool to have a tambourine or shaker in there somewhere towards the end to keep it moving. I like those chopped female vocals you got in there haha. Good one here, bud. Keep it up!
Woooow...Man I really like this, wish I could get this track with out
the voices on there...
Cause I know somebody, that would love to spit something on this
and he's deep in the game...
I'm going to grab this as is, somehow I hope we can hook up do it
right...
By the way you know I'm going to dance with this, I'll fill you in
before I do anything... :)
Description : Sounds of the sea and trippy acidy washes with a cool beat and some live acoustic guitar. Written in Cubase with live guitar and keys etc. The sound of the sea and birds was recorded on the beach where I used to live. After moving to the city one sunny day I was telling stories to a friend about living by the sea and started making this track.
Description : This improv recorded a few years ago powered my interest even further than I expected.....recorded using tc electronics pedal and tascam studio recorder and a Fender Squier tele electric....
Description : I used some new "Anthem" pickups from L.R. Baggs on my Martin acoustic to see how it performed, and it definitely beat my expectations. Captured the sound perfectly as I needed.
Anyhoo, this song is almost a prayer, hence the repetitiveness of the verses. As Christians, we believe that God will one day return and take away every suffering and all evil for good; in that regard, this song is almost one of waiting too. Very simple, with vocal harmonies and whatnot. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Made in 13 hours.
Someone else wrote the words, I was just inspired to use them. I only added the "Yeah" and "Amen."
Description : This is a track off of one of my EP's I dropped last year. It is based on True events. Sometimes when people finally take a second in life to slow down and breathe in..... The oxygen is deflated and it's too late. Take your time people, because time is what differs a good decision over a bad one. Life is precious!

Description : So a guy buys a nice guitar at a pawn shop but returns it a few days later after waking from a sound sleep to hear it playing by itself. When he tells of his experience he is shocked to learn the owner had actually died while playing it. Is it fantasy or truth? Is the guitar in this track that very same guitar? Its all part of the mystery and fun of Halloween !
EDIT: modified ending to a deeper voice
Description : This track describes a magical state that I experienced a long time ago. Maybe you also know the feeling that you can't describe something like this with words ... luckily we have the music for it!
Description : So this is my first Chill Outish track. I was just trying something new and then suddenly this was a thing. Everything you hear is home made. I hope you enjoy. - Mr. Spook'd
Description : That's something i worked out lately
a swing 3/4 hip hop Chill ?? Don't know how to describe this kind of music.
Anyway VOICE NEEDED
So if your interested to try something contact me
Description : A progressive journey incorporating deep ambient chillout, swing jazz, hip hop, d'n'b, trance and a slight touch of acid with a thousand ninjas battling in space. Features a great deal of my lead slide resonator guitar playing. Also a whole load of synths, programmed acoustic drum kits and manipulated drum loops, big basslines, regular electric guitar, vocoded guitar parts and bass guitar (distorted right at the end). If you like deep chill, far out soaring beauty, fat beats and 170 BPM uplifting slide trance controlled mayhem, you might just get into this. In my heaven there is an endless supply of honey mangoes (an exquisite beauty of the fruit world) and even more slide guitar. A 1,000-year-long version of this track plays there on a loop (long enough not to get bored of it) but here I offer you the Earthly 11 min version. You must be very good to be accepted into my heaven to hear the full thousand year version so best start now. It may be heaven's main theme tune but it's not above criticism so feel free to let me know what you think of it. Maybe you prefer the soundtrack in hell. I hear it's pretty badass...

That is pretty much how I make every track!
