Paul, how are ya now?
Considering you just picked up a DAW in January, I'd say you're doing alright. There are definitely some improvements that could be made, but you're off to a good start.
One thing I suggest is that when you decide which key you're going to work in, figure out which notes/chords correlate with that key. Then when you're composing, you can make sure that everything sits in the right place. I bring this up because there are parts where your instruments don't quite sit comfortably together, creating a dissonance that leaves it sounding "off". Because it is. That doesn't only apply to your synths, bass, and other instruments, but, your kick drum as well. Any time you have a drum with any sort of a decay or sustain, like most electronic drums do, you'll want to make sure they're tuned to the key as well.
But, I have to say, for a beginner, job well done. You'll learn as you go. I've been doing it for almost 20 years and I'm still learning new things all the time. As long as you enjoy it, you'll keep improving.
Keep it up.
Take care.

I'm not going to lie and say this sounded great I don't sugar coat nothing it's so off key the sound is bad I had to cover my ears can't u hear how horrible this is I don't get it all your other tracks were good but the singing I couldn't bare plz don't get mad at me I can't be the only one that hears it
Not at all i very much appreciate all feedback and what i can improve on i literally only used a DAW for the first time in January so very much still learning. also limited at the moment with vocals to. but than you for listening and commenting.
Hi, Paul: Nice background instrumental. Again, more variation which is essential to keep up interest, although I do realize that in tracks meant for club play, things can go on much longer to lock in the groove for dancers/listeners. I do agree with Anthony's comments about the tuning of the vocal from Splice. It's clearly not in the same key as your instrumental backing. Tuning it down from A minor to G minor should have worked, but it doesn't sit right, at last to my ears. I'm lousy at figuring out the key of music just from listening to it. I have some software plugins that can do that for me more reliably. Maybe the Splice loop was mis-labelled?
Very nice track Paul, with beautiful beat and melodies. What let me in question was the vocals and their tuning.
Good vocals but I think in their own scale. I believe this is something you wanted from the vocal part so i is just my humble opinion and nothing more.
Well done.
Best regards, Anthony
Thank you Anthony!! the vocal is from splice and was in A minor so I've pitched it down 2 semitones as I think the track is in G minor lol not 100% bud still very new to all this lol thank you for listening and your feedback much love!!
Hello paulcreaney, this is dancehall ready, the clubs jump with tracks such as this and great vocals keep it jumping......another fine track my friend.
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.
