Euphoric upbeat track. try keeping the single clap in the middle and panning the double claps left and right with each hit.
I think all you really need to do is learn some plugins inside and out and do as many tutorials as you can on youtube regarding saw wave leeds and swedish house type sounds because the only things really letting you down at this point is your choice of sounds. they are a little weaker than your ideas.
Really like this alot because you have what is nearly impossible to learn which is having a good ear for melody.
learning the sounds and instruments is just a matter of time from there on.
I've changed the claps like you said and it sounds really better! I will for sure learn much more stuff and do lots of tutorials.
I really, really have to thank you for what you've said about my ideias and ear, seriously... Thank You :)
I will warn you as soon as I get other track out, for you to check it out!
Thank you so much for your sugestions and support :)
Great vibe, the kick and the bass/leeds are superb.
The vocal does sound a little hot tho. i think it may be the cut off is a little high and the top frequency eq coupled with the limitering/compression on the vocal is making it a bit Tangy in the top end.
I had the same problem on a track a little while ago all i did was put a fairchild emulator plug in on it and let that bring the tops out not the eq, eq just got used for removing the low end.
Tracks good bro.. sub kick is WAY WAYYYYYYYYY to loud, it needs eq'ing to loose some of its harmonics and side chaining to let the main kick through.
Best way to think of frequencies is like a row of cars in traffic, basically if somethings already there you need to, wait for it to move, move it with side chaining or, it cant be there.
I use Fabfilter Pro-q because it has a built in spectrum analyzer which is awesome for seeing whats happening to the frequencys and there volume..
thanks for the listen and review, spudsy...much appreciated.
i dont eq works in progress...there is a lot more that needs to be done with this than just bringing the bass down. i only eq songs that are well received lol as odd as that may be. im a good producer...but im a lazy engineer and its quite laborious for me, so i wait to see if people actually like the demo enough to put in the extra work.
looks like it might be time to polish this one up.
cheers!
Expertly arranged and constructed.
you have a uncanny ability to know what a vocal needs to be heard at its best.
to be a little critical the guitar at the beginning could do with less verb, but god this track is very good.
with a good stem mix down this would do very well. or at least earn you enough interest to get noticed by some big boys.
Hiya bro.. Wongki brought this track to my attention and im really glad he did.
I would like to work with you on getting this up to a release worthy standard. and maybe after speaking to the artist herself try and arrange some sort of re-mix package for release.
Our last 3 tracks have all been played on 1xtra, kiss fm, choice etc...
Thank you for your interest in this song. I appreciate any effort to take this song to the masses. I can communicate with you through e-mail. I can send you a message from here. Will be in touch with you very soon. Again, I thank you very much for your interest.
What a sick track.. loved the vibes you got goin on bro..
Its a little to fast for me tho tbh.. about 10 bpm less would give it that propper Reggae Dub feel to it.
But like i said loved it.. awesome track..
A couple of things i could maybe say, arraignment wise copy nero. you have a really quirky style and the arraignment's of them guys would suit you very well.
Alot of the channels are running really hot (loud)
try to mix them on about -6 or -10 db and use the master out put to give the track back its volume. i only say this because the levels seem a little forced in volume and they are causing problems with each other.
Loved the track alot fella, thank you for sharing with us..
Hey Spudsy..thanks man!..your way too kind,Detlef and I are just releasing all the musical thoughts and influences that have built up within ourselves over the years..plenty more where this came from...thanks again mate!
cheers Dave
Great opening.
Awesome vibe and chord structure.
Such a strong track , its very 90's incognito style and i love it.
Could be a current house chart topper with some changes to the sounds here n there to bring it upto date sounding.
guitar solo is sick..
Can happily say one of my fave tracks on here.
loved it.
if you fancy a different take on it give me a shout, would love to remix this.
Yes, the 90:ies style was deliberate. I wanted to catch a little bit of that Shanice vibe on it. And then Midiman came along with his great guitars to add on top.
I listened to some of your tracks here and must say that they sound really awesome. You are very skilled at what you do. I would love to hear what you can do with this. I'll PM you :)
Fantastic track bro, really really strong.
I will forward it onto a few people and hopefully get some feedback for you.
Thanks for sending this through bro, awesome track.
great track dude, just the right side of catchy/annoying if you know what i mean, lol.
A couple of things i did notice, it could maybe use a quirky perc/sound fx/ breaks at the beginning then dropping into the bass after 30/45 secs or so.
It is very low end light.. a nice sub sine side chained to the kick would make this track next level, and introduce a huge amount of bounce and sound pressure to the track.
Hiya Spudsy. Thanx for the "heads up" on this my friend. I will try (what I understand of the technical advice lol) the things you have suggested. This weekend I will give the Missus the proper hump and revisit this, try remixing and see what I can end up with. I appreciate the catchy/annoying line as that was what I ended up trying to do with this track. An aural Marmite moment ! Cheers for taking time out to visit my lil corner of the Loop and listen & review.
Peace, Love & Respect Sir . . . .
Nice track you got here, love the switch ups and the sounds youve used.. its a little sub light/top heavy for me and it all runs a little to hot volume wise, but killer, killer track bro.
Thanks for takin the time to comment and for the support it helps out a lot. I stay away from Nexus wow now that you bring that up i have not used nexus in soooo long. Take the time to follow me on soundcould if you like i'm on a label now so i try and post as much as i can ;) http://soundcloud.com/rayon-2
Awesome track here bro yeah deffo sounds like a musical track...
when the chorus comes in, it would sound awesome with a choir in the back. would really lift the whole track to a whooooole new level..
Some of the compression on the kick and the snare are pulling the whole volume of the track down, and creating some volume inconsistencies.
The backing vox is very well thought out but could use some reduction in volume in places to give a little more ambiance.
dude (dont mean to tell you what to do) but your really deing yourself an injustice by letting people download your work when youve got such good ideas.
I mean, the end result is a little un-refined but that will come in time.
Idea's are priceless and i want to let you know there is alot of value in your work, weather u see it yet or not.
I know ive brought up alot of points above but i Really, reeally enjoyed the track, thank you for sharing :)
Nice laid back track, your vocals sit in there spot on..
Im looking for a chorus girl for some drum and bass and some dubstep stuff ive got being released soon. if you have any other sample of your work pm me please..
Really nice track bro, melodies are real good and the track is very up lifting.
there is alot EQ'ing to do on the low end of the sounds still(not sure if the tracks just unfinished, if it is please feel free to tell me to shhhh, lol)
But its causing the compressors to pull up alot of low end noise on the sounds and muddying up the mix a little.
Really liked it tho fella, some wicked ideas in there.
Thanks dude, somebody else will make final mix.. I've not even monitors :(
But well, try make best I can with my old stuff.

Maybe the horns could use being a little less synthetic but they probably wouldn't stick out so much when a vocal is layered over the top.
great work look forward to hearing you on the radio :)

on STAND BY YOU - Aidan Woody by AidanWoody95
good Melodie and vibes here, just needs a little bit of technique in the processing of the sounds and the transitions from section to section.
i would say listen to a few tracks by Steve Aoki and see how he moves from verse to chorus etc....
I would defoo take WongKiShoe up on his offer of cleaning your tracks up, hes a talented fella.
