on Thats What I'm Talk'n About by JLofton
Could maybe use a few FX and things for the transitions but apart from that its a nice track dude, all you need now is someone like Daryl Pandy to smash the vocal and complete the whole chicago house feel :)
on maybe by FACTOR
Nice track, the melodies are really great and all work really well together.
The only things i would probly change is, the synth pad that starts the track off is a little too weak to be the first thing you hear in the track. try making another copy of the pad and push it forward or back a couple of milli-seconds. Pan them a little left and right to create some stereo width and put a little bit of mild flange or chorus on them, bounce off a copy of them and add some distortion to mash them up. cut everything below about 300hz on the ditorted version and put them low in the mix below the others.
Also the kik drum could use a bit of work. try layering up some samples from any of the vengence sound collections, i was also taught a wicked little trick from someone right here on looperman, and that is to layer a quickly enveloped closed hi-hat over the kik low in the mix to help it cut through. if you dont have any of the vengence collections try sampleing a clean kik from Taio Cruz as he does alot of similer stuff to this track and it should fit in well.
Wicked track tho dude and with a couple of changes here n there its gonna be fire :)
on Lights On by NEPAUL (Atomic Recordings Mix) by Atomicrecordings
The trumpets are wicked and really give the track a anthem feel..
I would probly raise the volume of the vox by a couple of db, and make a few multi track harmany takes, maybe 2 or 3 left and 2 or 3 right on the vocal parts you want to stand out.
Strong track tho dude.
on The Business Feat. Majesty- The Chance To Change by TheMajesty
Its a bit hard to hear you over the instrumental.
also there are lots of pop's and splosives. i would probly recommend a pop shield for the mic, or failing that, pull a pair of tights over a coat hanger and hang it infront of the mic to stop the air hitting it so hard.
Good effert tho fella. keep going :)
on Only Death is Certian by GRAVEFLOWERS
Anyways i agree with Coney, some of the sounds could use tweeking but nice piece...
yea i didnt have a good mic back then when this was recorded
on Conexión con tus ojos [EDIT-EDIT-EDIT!] by Dembow
Wicked track loving the synths and fx youve put into the piece, liking the change of mood @ 56: aswell
I dint hear this track before the new drums but these ones seem to work really well.
Nice one :)
I listen to your tracks and i wanna say that they are really good! I like reggaeton very much. and your track has the synths! And i like that in reggaeton tracks. thanks for your comment. :) bye!
on Fraternity by Avail
The only thing i think the track could be missing is a defineing moment, you know, a section of the track where the drums drop out, all the pads swell up, the leed comes in and the chord progression really gets to show off for a few bars before filtering back down again to the groove. Kinder like Axwell's recent remix of temper traps.

Great track tho dude, really liked it :)
on Diggy Diggy Doo By Albert rd Recordings&billydubs by billydubs
If you need any help with anything (not saying im the best person in the world at production) but if i know it you can have it just ask dude..
Spuds :)
on No More Free Mix 2 by Spivkurl
on Diggy Diggy Doo By Albert rd Recordings&billydubs by billydubs
The only thing i could probly recommend is to try and use quite a few loops in your tracks for the time being, and work on your sound designing. e.g.
pull some drum loops into your Daw, start them all off, and then over the top of them really spend a good bit of time trying to replicate the sort of sounds you hear on electro tracks. saving them as presets as you go.
Maybe do a day on leed lines, then a day on pads and strings, a day on bass's E.T.C..
That way when it comes to making you track you have a whole host of ready to go presets that all fit the style your doing.
Some people would probly recommend you do it the other way round (drums first then presets) and to be honest drums are one of the most important things in a track but both ways are fine, im just giving you the version that worked for me.
The reason im recommending this is because before you know it you will be able to master all the tools to get you well on the way to beat making heaven just think of it as the Audio version of the Karate Kid "Wax on, Wax off" :)
Thanks again BillyDubz
on She keeps on (Hello) by cdm
Not a bad try at all fella.
Altho a few things i would deffinately consider changing would be too remove the drums altogether as they are way outa time and a little distracting.
And open you mouth a little more when you sing, your key is ok but your tone is really low so you need to open up you mouth or the words dont form propperly.
Nice composition tho fella. if you need any help with drum programming or sounds or anything really, just gimme a shout and ill be more than happy to help you out as much as i can:)
I really look forward to hearing this in the future as it grows into a fully fledged track :)
on The Pursuit Of Manliness by Acrylic
There were a few sound's in there tho that didnt seem to go with the rest, they sounded like they were kinda tacked on, really detracted from the rest of the awesome track you had made, dont think it was the melodies they were playing just think its the sounds chosen and there volume, sorry dude...
Biker babe's by R1 and Tinie temper

Check out those two tracks at the top on youtube, prob give you loadsa ideas on the sounds to maybe use in ther place.
Part from that tho the track was bangin & awesome. drums were spot on too:)
on FIGHT FOR YOUR DREAMS by djsebastyan
Loving the vibe and the sound, the composition is spot on too.
The only things i would maybe change would be to drop the vocals volume by about 3 to 6db and try to get a good warming plugin like psp vintage warmer or t-racks and put it on the master to make the 2 gel a little better as they sound a little independant at the moment, altho that could be due to the volume being a little high.
Also at 1:18 when the track breaks down i was convinced you were going to came in with a basshunter/Ultrabeat lead line, woulda sounded superb after the beautifull melodic build you had made.
Please dont take anything iv said in a negative way, its all ment constructively and i really like this track.
on Sunset by djsebastyan
Nice mellow track here kinda reminds me of Dario G's stuff.
The builds and drops are great and i really like the way the piano comes in.( im always doing a similar thing, love piano's lol)
I would probly say the piano could use with being layered up with another one with a slightly higher tone or try a boost between 3 & 7 hz on the piano youve got on there already because sounds a little bit like the top end is low in volume. failing that, layering up with a harp works wonders and little boosting at 10hz will give it sparkle.
Also the bass wasnt really my cup of tea when the track first started because it felt like it lacked a little body, but after everything else was in, it sounded spot on and worked really well with the rest of the track.
Great work dude relly liked it :)
I do not remember if I responded to your comment :) I know the song has many defects but I never struggled to finish
on Through My Eyes (Sample) by CR1Tic
Hummmmmm.....Im comfooosimilated. lol..
Dude i toured with Euphoria for a while back in the day and i dont remember any of them boys making anything near as good as this in 3 hours...
Rite off the bat... its release quality and you should be sending it to labels as an idea of your skill level and ask for a remix deal....
glad you like it thanks
on JAZZY P by Peres
Sounds like something Incognito would do...
on SMELLS LIKE WEED! by Peres
Makes me think of what if King Tubby and scientist had done a bit of prog rock dub:)
on trial2 by benkofi
Good melodies liking the flow of the track.
if i had to mention anything else i would say to shove a long tailed snare in there on the parts that would be the chorus and try and stay away from stock vst sounds. they tend to sound a little generic.
Good track tho dude, keep it up :)
on Hot Like The Sun by DataJunkie
on Dance with Me by Vizronics
One of the hardest things to get in production is how to make a vocal shine and your music really does make the vocal shine and it all works really really well together.
The track changes enough to make sure it doesnt get stail at any point at all and your chord structure is bang on the money.
Really nice track.....
on Lost & Found by Memq
wicked progressive track dude really really love the drums, they have a great swing to them...
And your use of DVickers accapella is rite on dude.. the moving of the chourus timing threw me off at first but im kinda liking it that way now, lol...
Cant wait to hear somemore stuff from you...
Seee yaaaa...
on Haters Feat Nepaul and LI by LordIzhaan
I think all you may need is something with a bit of an analog feel to it like PSP's vintage warmer on the master to make the vox gel a little better with the track cause they sound a little clean and independant at the mo..
Heavy track tho, dude, real real good...
on trancend by smallpaul
Yet another cracking track. what synths you use? sounds like the Z3ta from cakewalk, if u dont have it download the demo dude its a bad boy synth, lol :)
Oh n i know a few vocalists in the Pool and i think they would like your stuff, if your interested lemme know n ill make some calls..
Oh and i was gonna ask.... Fancy a colab?? :D
Caio for now...
on no title by atticdj
on multitudes of silence (freakwincy d'n'b remix) by freakwincy
i would probly make the break down @ 1 min a little sparser, and just have some white noise in there instead for a build to the drop back into the track.
Keep up the good work fella...
