If you have time take a listen and give chalupacabra some feedback.
In regards to what i meant about "cleaning up" the track: I'm not really sure how effective this will even be considering you're using loops (which may have been poorly exported/recorded to begin with) but i'm talking about the use of mixing utilities like filtering, equalization, compression etc. When you put 2 loops/recordings together there will most likely be a point where they share the same frequencies. If you keep letting the same frequencies multiply it starts bogging up the mix and turning into this layer of noise. So if this happens it's best to figure out which instrument sounds best in that frequency, and then cut out (through filtering or EQ'ing) that same frequency from other instruments. Sorry I could go on about it all day so it's probably something to look into when you have the time. It's the reason why sound engineers exist but if you start learning about it as early as possible than you may never need one.
Ah, I'm hip to what you're saying and no, I didn't do any mixing other than adjusting the volume of each channel. Heck, I didn't even use reverb. All of the loops are as they were recorded by the artists who made them. Then again, everything sounded pretty uncluttered and not muddy to me so, perhaps I just don't know what to listen for? Although I do recall running across a fairly involved video on YouTube about it a few weeks ago so, maybe I should go look for it again. Thanks!
Chalupa, hey ese, I like this man. Great job on the production and arrangement. I think you definitely have some real potential as a producer. The main melody is cool and flows well and then the variations and tempo changes work perfectly to break things up and keep it from becoming boring and repetitive which are mistakes that a lot of noobs make. This track really reminds me of some video game soundtracks from my past. Very cool bro, I would love to hear some of those with the sound effects you mentioned. Looperman does have some restrictions regarding licensed material but there are loads of public domain sound effects from movies so as long as your careful and don't push the limits I think you might be ok. I have used some in a few of my tracks. If you get a chance check out my Neo Star Trek or Groove Like A Zombie. I did have to take a few down though so like I said use some discretion. I dig your creativity bro and look forward to hearing more of your stuff, so by all means keep em coming.
Thanks for dropping by Neo, glad you liked my little ditty. I try to approach making music from the listeners standpoint so, rarely will you hear a one bassline song from me. Not to say that repetitive songs are bad (sometimes they work very well) but, it's just not really my thing. You have my upmost gratitude for your encouragement and I'll be sure to check out all of your tracks!
P.S. Most of the sound clips I've used are definitely copyright infringement. Sadly, they set the mood for those tunes so, I'm not sure how to get around that. =(
Came here from your forum post. It's not bad, there's some pretty cool synth work in here and I think you did a good job of meshing the samples, though that part at 1:27 felt a bit random or unnecessary to me. Could be cleaned up a little too but don't get me wrong, I did enjoy this.
Thanks for listening SS, I threw in that little jazzy riff to make the transition into the slower part less abrupt and I think it keeps the overall piece quirky and unpredictable. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "cleaned up" since I really don't know what I'm doing so, maybe you could enlighten me? I do really appreciate your input because we all have to start somewhere and learn as we go.

Description : Feel free to check out the video on YT as well (Alan McLaren Project - Upside Down) of this 6min journey from electronic to rock with some psychedelic moments...
This is my latest, but also one of my earliest tracks.... any feedback is more than welcome, thanks :)
Description : 'The main point of this song is really about the frustrations of living in the overload of today's World of Tech. The consequences are impaired communication and that if you advance too far you end up diminishing what you had to start with, so you are way worse off.' Enjoy a 60s Rhythm with a modern deep Bass, a Sitar, a Piano from EvilPianist, a lost flute from UniverseHuston and some Oscillators :-)

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 : NEON DRIVE is a smooth flowing electronic track with a steady progression. I hope it entertains you and creates a temporary dreamscape for you to get lost in.
