Hi mate, beautiful track here, I would agree with some of the earlier comments though about the Dubstep beat. If you could change the snare to a rim shot or a less aggressive compressed snare then I think it would sound better, personally speaking of course, other than that its a fantastic track!!
"I want to thank you for all of the honest and helpful critique"
Hey, no problem. I try to help in any small way I can. Hard to know how any feedback will be received and sometimes people may already be aware of errors/failings. Perhaps sometimes pointing them out can serve as encouragement to go fix them ("Yes, we did notice that dodgy bit").
Anyway: I don't see a lot/anything wrong here and I knew you'd keep the dubstep loop so congrats on the other changes.
I'm currently finishing updating a dual female vocal track from four years ago. It's ridiculous how many awkward audio pop edits there were in the previous version. I can't understand how I could have missed them. However, I wouldn't be surprised if no one pointed them out if I had uploaded it to Looperman. Instead, you'll soon be getting the much improved, mostly smoothly transitioned version. It's a jazz track called The Second Law Of Self Love.
Hi. I commented on the earlier version of this, with some ideas, but no reply so far. Oh well.
Anyway: this sounds great - really uplifting and melodic. I'd still rather not have that dubstep beat but I guess it's OK. Everything sits very tightly together and this is really classily made and mixed stuff.
Happy, blissful music that is very pleasant to listen to.
Just for a change, I won't bother with any specific details. I think I may have already done that in my earlier review.
Hey static,
Sorry man I've been so busy lately I never got a chance to respond! I took a lot of your advice (except for the dub step drum change) and it made the track a lot better. I want to thank you for all of the honest and helpful critique! I look forward to listening to all of your new tracks!
Wow, this sounds beautiful.. very relaxing, I love music like this and I love this track. :)
I wonder how it will sound with vocals. Anyway, keep it up!
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.
"I don't really know what I'm doing here bc I'm just kind of winging the entire creation of the song"
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... :)
the part that brings in the synth bass around 1:36 is really effective...I like the lightness of the whole vibe...realy makes for easy listening & leaves a smile on the face...the mix sounds good Rico...I would maybe bring the vocal up just a little in that first section...butI sure dont have any criticism...I would rather hear a mix like this that is nice and clean with all the dynamics still perfectly in place than one that has been squashed with limiting and ends up distorted...You could bump it up a little with some soft-knee compression and just let your limiter barely catch the peaks & still have everything you have going with a bit more volume...but its sounding good as you`ve got it right now....well done...Ed
This is really nice and smooth. Vocals are cool. No real critique here, except maybe a little more volume so you can get a better saturation. When I finish a track, I always put it in WavePad Sound Editor and get a visual perspective to check my saturation. You can get a free version of this if interested.
It has a great feel, very tastefully done, hard to mix other cultural
sounds and have them make sense...And you've done that here...
Outstanding piece of work...
