This track sounds intriguing. Ive never heard anything like this, it sounds really catchy and you should complete it! And add lyrics, im sure then it will do the beats justice, too much of a good track to let it waste, good luck :-)

I think this is as far as this track can go without it becoming or changing too much. Lyrics would be a good idea but I'm really not too proud of this track compared to other tracks I've made.

I'm glad you liked the track though!

More subtle automation?

You can do WONDERFUL things with automation as drum and bass has taught me.. I try and think of it all like a LIVE experience?
You know?
My music
your music
Don't be confined by bars.
FU4cK that.

We live in that fraction of a second reality.
I say try bump them drums.
I want to "ooomph"
My kicks.
I want to be punched by my snares.
Just saying.
The eq Solo was awesome like apple sauce on pork chops.
You could possibly find some multiple eq's to "provoke" a vocal?
It can work on the bass and your cymbal EQ region?
just saying.

Just look deeper into your mixes. Save many times and go off on tangents.. Look for symbols within archaic structures of melody.
You rocked it on this.
Focus on the rump of the track not the sparkle, you definitely have that covered. This is awesome.

yeah, the EQing on the drums and on the bass is WAY off on this track from the sound I originally wanted, simply due to the fact that when this was originally made in 2009 I didn't even know how to EQ (well, except for on EQUO on the pad sequence thing, but I don't think that counts)

The EQ part that you described was fl studios EQUO plugin with some automation on the band shifter. I just analyzed the pad then shifted it, nothing too special but I thought it sounded nice.. still do, its an effect I think I need to retry.

Thanks for the great review though!

Just need to make a few adjustments, send it to deltaaah, and once he approves I'll upload a longer version on here. Its probably gonna undergo a ton of changes, but at least that means I can take more advice on the way.

hey stephen i just wanted to give u some advice if ur still stuck with ur music tracks,tryin thinking outside box in a sense where ur thoughts and style of music are ignored and just let the sounds come to u and also try hear the melody voice and let it make itself along with ur other sounds(thats what i do when i get stuck LOL)

hope it helps.

I'm managing to produce now, I'm just messing about with different styles, I'm getting a lot of ideas now, just gonna try and wait before uploading them.. thanks for the suggestions though!

very well done. powerful and moving. Great transitions. I was worried about it being less than 2 mins long, but the way you constructed it and had it end belayed those concers.

Well Done

I think I need to revisit this track again to be honest, much like my other tracks, just so I can get a better drumloop and bass sound, but I'm not sure where the file is..

Thanks for the review though!

This has a wonderful groove to it! The drums are great so far! Really nice piano riffs! Hope to hear it again when it's finished! Great work!

I hope to upload the full version soon as well, I doubt this tracks gonna stop, I've got deltaah doing vocals (hopefully) and I've still got to add more sounds.

I'll let you know if I upload the full version (I really hope I do).

Thanks for the review!

Already writing lyrics. If you want me to send some acapellas, let me know. Love the feeling of this, wish there was more so I can get a feel for a verse and chorus. Sounds good Ste!
StephenPotter
StephenPotter replied Unknown
Thanks, I'm amazed at how quick you've managed to get going on this. I'll add more to it soon, but I think I'm gonna keep repeating the piano for a while and then change it afterwards.

Thanks for the review and the vocal offer!

Hey mate, this track is pretty fine as it is. I think you got a good melody and it all fits well. I can listen to this all day, you got the right sounds and all well put together.

I am still learning FLS i not used it before, but everyone tell me to use it cause i will have even better tracks. Hmm i must be the only person not using FLS, it's a learning curve, still getting my head around it.

Nice job.

Peace...

Look, I`m gonna say what the others wouldn`t because I`m trying to be a real friend here. I will tell you what you have to do to this track to make it better and you may not like it.

Are you ready

Leave it alone. It is a sweet track just as is. Needs nothing.

All The Best :-)

Alright then!

I cant actually do anything to it anyway (apart from the main sequence pad) due to me losing nexus, but hey, I've learnt more without it :)

Hey Stephen...sorry I havent heard one of tracks for a while, but glad I found this one! Nice synths and the intro was well delivered....there is a vox sample on here called "dance with me" by elina milan that would fit

on Walking on clouds (demo) by StephenPotter
Ste this is a great start man... I like where you're heading with this. I too am working on some Ambient stuff. I think just keep adding sounds and textures as you go... Also what Bpm is this? oops never mind... maybe drop it down to 70bpm... If your comp can't handle all the instruments just render or export it as wav then reopen it in your DAW then add to that. You might lose a lil bit of sound quality but when you master this you can boost it some to gain what you had loss. This is what I had to do and it seems to be working so far. Hope this helps... let us know if you finish this sucker up...

StephenPotter replied Unknown
I got a new soundcard wired up yesterday, I've had it for a year and I've only just found out, so now this track is running perfectly on FL without any crackles.. only problem now is the massive latency.. oh well, I'd rather have a higher buffer length than quicker response time.

Thanks for the review, and good luck with your ambient tracks, I'll go check them out now (or later if they aren't uploaded :P)

stephen, this is hot, is this something you have done more with since posting ? I can see right away that those loops were a great inspiration, respect to mr yeshintae in LA for some great stuff...for me, this is like hip hop fusion with a great mix of different elements..hope u update it, and do more hip hop too!

be well and don't stop

Nope, this songs stayed the same since I've posted it and probably will remain the same.. I think I'm gonna try making new stuff soon, but for now I'm happy with the responses I've got with this track.

on What I think (Second Version) by StephenPotter
Wow, normally not a trance guy, but I'm always trying new things here on the loop... Love the piano work for sure. hmmm I'm trying to give less "pat on the back" type reviews but I'm at a loss! I know nothing of the genre so it's hard for me to give any specific advice. Uhhhh.... Post some of this as loops? Seriously, if you haven't already some of those elements are superb, and you'd be a saint to share the love. (Also I kinda like the sidechaining)

I'll have to check out more of your stuff in the future!
StephenPotter
StephenPotter replied Unknown
I'm not sure about posting this track as loops. I think if I want to upload a loop, it will work best if I intentionally try to make it a loop.

Also, I don't think I could fit 32 bars into a loop without making the quality very very low.

Thanks for the review!

on Walking on clouds (demo) by StephenPotter
some good ideas here brother...I think for me you need to inject a little more space.... maybe change the bpm(not sure if that would work)... it a great start... maybe a few sfx in the first 30 seconds would make it wider ... spacey glitch sounds or something like that would work well with the lfo's... nice anyway looking forward to hearing the finished track... keep 'em coming brother
StephenPotter
StephenPotter replied Unknown
I think I'm going to keep the BPM the same, add more effects, stretch a dnb loop about 8 times and play around with the LFOs some more, I think it might sound good with those added.

Thanks for the review!

Quite frankly, I'm not too sure myself if it is DNB or chillout on speed, but its an old track, and I'm probably gonna remake it one of the days with a load of my others.

aw man, if z is givin you advice, its gonna be solid. its got good atmosphere. i like the floating feeling in the pads. nice and spacey, with no tethers to the ground. keep at it cause this is good ste.
StephenPotter
StephenPotter replied Unknown
Will do, just need to add more pad melodies, more FX, and just generally more sounds I think.

Im not much into ambient but i cant resist anything with your name slapped on it! lol I was gonna come in here and say this has a lot of potential, but i was beat to it just like you beat me to saying "This tune sucks" on Nicks song lol. Anyways i like it, but i definately think it needs more. I know you were planning on adding more anyways, but im just saying in the sense that it couldnt go like that for too long. Another leading synth or some bass would do the trick. But since your trying to do ambient make sure the Synth or bass is not too speedy (obviously) but that it stands out from the rest and says "Look at me, im the lead!" lol -Gabe

Peace Love Jesus!
StephenPotter
StephenPotter replied Unknown
Yeah, I need to add an extra bunch of pad melodies after this I think, and I think more FX in the opening is needed as well, as Numberjack mentioned.
But I think that if I was to use a synth, I'd have to stretch it through paulstretch.

Thanks for the review!

I think I'm going to add some more sound effects to it.. I think a stretched piano note might sound really nice, so I might try that.

I like what I hear so far, this has a lot of potential. I think at the present time you have several avenues to take with it. I can hear this becoming a dance track if the right beat is put with it, or it can stay ambient and be just as good. Good job so far I look forward to hearing the final result.

StephenPotter replied Unknown
I think I could make it into an interesting dnb track, but as of now, I really want to keep it as an ambient track, or if not, perhaps add drums so I can call it chillout.

I'm glad you liked the track though, thanks for the review!
