Description : This was my first attempt at writing a piece of electronica. It's the starting point! I was using the structure used by Denniz PoP in "One More Time" by Britney Spears; checking out where he put the intro, verse, bridge, and choruses, and how he textured them. The working title was "Pop Song Structure Experiment #1," but eventually I renamed it "So Cold." I wrote out all of the notes in Noteflight, and then took it to Mixcraft 6 for instruments. This was before I figured out effects and levels, and before I found the Looperman community. So, this is where I started!

I meant for example the synth pad from 0.45 is a bit much...listen it when it stops (1.05) the drum comes in front again...from 2.33 same problem with another drum...pad is too harsh, don't really hear the bass or bass synth...

that's all...small things...

Thanks! Yesterday my son literally tied himself up in dental floss (don't worry, he's fine) while I was writing, so I guess I was kind of zoned out from real life for a while. =)

Hi!

I welcome you here, first of all...great site...

This song is more than electro for me...there is a massive rock attitude in here...the lead instrument is like a guitar (if it is, the tone is not the best on my humble opinion...) The structure of the number is very cool, though...some mixing problems are there too but don't want me to talk about cause I'm not pro on that...just hear that stg is loud, stg is weak sometimes...I think you used 2 drum tones...the first one is hyper cool from start to 2.25...

Anyways, congrats and keep up the good work!!!

Handshake, Danke

Thank you! I'm just now adding beats to a new song and one of your loops is the beat in the intro. =) Thanks for the welcome; I feel like I'm in Disneyland. I love that you describe this as having "massive rock attitude"--that makes my heart sing. Hey, what do you mean when you say "stg"? I don't know that term.

Handshake right back at you!

Pretty good attempt. A lot of good things to hear. The melody is good and i clearl yhas a head and a tail. The progression is pretty ok as well. The main synth is a bit too loud in comparison to the rest. You should lower it a bit. Then the drums come more out as well. Still good work!

Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.

Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.

Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.

Description : Far out mid-tempo fat beat deep chillout grooves with Eastern/Arabic and slightly menacing vibes, huge delayed synth bass and a great palette of psychedelic layered and intricate sounds (mostly synths) and a stirring, epic feel. Even has guitar solo section reminiscent of some 80s power rock which is then followed by a brief synth harp solo. I began making it straight after staying round the flat of the flute player from the legendary Ozric Tentacles - easily the greatest ever space rock band. I made this in about 2001 and still think it might be my best track (and it's nice and short, for a change). My production skills were much weaker in those days (no EQ, compression or mastering used here) but, somehow, this one turned out pretty much just right. Feel free to disagree. Now sit back and get ready to trip extremely far out. If you manage to return, let me know how that trip was...

Description : Got some spare time finally...just started on some random ideas basically (lets say kygo meets alan walker). A blend of dubstep,edm,downbeat,tropical etc.
It's still a work in progress, so i would appreciate your honest inputs. Thanks to all those whose loops I have used in here, sorry I don't have time to search them out.
Edit-added some more filthy sounds from my previous tracks and gave it some ending. Advice will be helpful.
