So I've been messing with VSTs a lot lately with varied effects, and besides some tech-house tunes which are already going to labels upon completion i've started a number of other tracks which are harder or just different. Some are more fleshed-out than others, some aren't. I'd like an idea of which ones I should work on and which ones I should just dump.
Synthy thing
Drummy thing
Hard orchestral thing
I'm not too keen on the first one... but if the other two are done up proper arrangement wise they could be quite cool :)
the first is good, could be very good, but you've first gotta TAKE OUT THAT NASTY CLAP. ok sorry for the screaming, but I thought the rest sounded like it had a lot of potential.
rest of #1 that is...
#3 the groove sounded run of the mill, although the synths were nice.
#2 is ok, but too boom-chakety, boom-chakety. nice bass line
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I was messing around with some plugins on the clap on the first one, which is why it sounds odd. I'll definitely replace it now! As for the other two, I plan on adding more textures and whatnot if I decide to finish them so it's not all just drumsdrumsdrums. I've heard from a few people the bassline on #2 is way too loud, and my personal opinion is the pad hits too often.
#1 - I dig the synth a lot. Could use a rougher/tougher old school planet rhythm styled beat.
#2 - I think it sounds fine, just keep working on it.
#3 - The pad alone would make a dope ambient track or DJ tool. Maybe try and make the drums slightly more industrial with a downwards/ruskin feel to give it that darker industrial edge. Regardless all clips have something good to 'em.
Idea 1. Nice and clean and crisp. Maybe a little more percussion in the mid range but pretty cool anyway.
Idea 2. Oh yes please matron. I`m lovin this already. Nice finish it and post it. Please :clap:
Idea3. Oi! Goth!!! get the black lipstick out!!!! I like a lot too. Nice metallic perucssion, very moody.
Spot on mate, I would love to here these developed.
quality, crisp production.
1, i agree with dirty bass on this one, it just need's some mid range in there, i actually like the clap by the way
2, i couldnt play this, it keep's coming up with network error's
3, this is my favourite, it's got a really funky groove in there, it's got a slight dirty bass feel to it this track :cool:
#1: I like the synth a lot! I would like to hear a different clap though..
#2: Nice sounds in this one! Percussion is very nice too..
#3: Nice sounds used again :) I like the groove a lot too..
I like all 3 of em a lot, but if I had to choose it would be #2 :)
Very nice work mate! :clap:
iv'e managed to listen to the 2nd idea now, it's great, this really need's to be developed
no 1 - i liked this mate, a snappier percussion loop, imo would add a bit more - good sh*t though! :clap:
no 2 - thats sounding class - but I'd remove that rising type noise, is that the pad? dooooh!!! thats all cool, good stuff! :clap:
no 3 - did'nt do anything for me dude :crackup:
All in All - very cool! :clap:
1. i like the groove, bassline bubbles away nicely. personally id remove some higher freq from that synth (but thats where i always go wrong) like already mentioned, change that clap. potential is there though.
2. drums are exellent, i like the energy. im not too keen on the "steam train like atmospherics" though, i think it adds a cheesy element to what could be a potentially great track.
3. im not too keen on the vocal at the intro, im getting a hard trance vibe from it. but when it comes in i like it. the dark, even "french like" vibe im getting from the pad/strings is good. again drums were spot on.
keep working on all 3 tracks id say, all 3 have potential.
I love the 3rd track, i think you should take the vocal out tho imo and work on the drum sounds/rhythms to give them more identity
Hehe, well I've been gone all weekend but I'm gonna sit down and work on #2 for sure. As far as the 3rd one I'm probably gonna rebuild it with a different groove and whatnot. Dustin wanted to jump in and work on the first one with me, so it should be interesting to see what he comes up with. :)
Dude all those sound good to me.Would like to hear em when finished!
I like them all but im not sure about the vocal in the 3rd one. I like #2 the most and it definately has potential.
I feel some people are over critical at times. i like 2 just the way it is perhaps a bit of tweeking here and there, im looking forward to hearing it when its finished.
