Description : All original production and arrangements by myself based on a reworking of my original track "Spanking". Vocals and addditional material by mike0112.
I'm liking this, it has a simplicity and sound of early synth based music from Sheffield in the seventies. one of the keys to mixing this is to leave yourself at least 6 db of headroom with the instruments . Also Partial panning in the mix is important as well as a dynamic eq balance of instruments and last but not least a tasteful use of reverb on some instruments to create space in the mix. After the mix, then add your compressors. Oh and try to use subtractive Equing instead of adding eq to the mix.
The track itself is pretty good. A nice variation of drums and percusion. The bassline is strong and the vocal shot is ok aswell. Problem is that the mixing is almost non existing. The sounds are all struggling which creates distortion. Try looking on youtube for mixing techniques. It is not that hard but will definetly give a boost to this track.
You should also add a little more vartiation as well. A bridge might work. Adding an extra melody or synth will help as well.
A good starting point for a nice track! Well done!
Thank you so much, this is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for :) It was a lot less murkier and then i started messing with the levels and volume on the instruments but I'll have to go back to the drawing board. It really is just a starting point at the moment and hopefully it'll sound better once I implement the changes you've recommended.

Description : I have been using LooperMan for practice for some time now. This my most recent track. The only loop in the song is BabyGee's vocals. Free to download and if you repost tag me so I can share it as well.
Description : A psychedelic techno cello epic. It's not really techno as it's only 110 BPM but something like that (eg breakbeat), with lots of banging beats and arpeggiated acid synths, plus a whole load of my layered cello playing techniques. There aren't that many synths used but they do a lot of work and are carefully automated. No guitar. Drums are mostly a lot of drum loops, supported by a few programmed acoustic drumkits. Very busy and complicated with loads of different sections (funky, chilled, fast, heavy) that make up a constantly progressing trip. I don't know if there's any other cello music like this so let me know if you think there is. Interesting feedback appreciated - criticism, praise, ideas etc. Enjoy...
Description : Summer type dance track, for those precious 2 weeks off, if you can get them! Made around a selection of different loops and some keys from me.
Description : Inspired by an experimental percussion piece I heard. Rhythmic ticking builds into pounding beats and heavy soundscapes. I haven't done any mixing or mastering yet so tell me what you think. Any and all comments are welcome.
