Just looking for feedback for growth from the SA Community. Thanks guys. Awesome site. And since I just bought it, this track is 100% pure ANA. I bumped up buying ANA over Massive and Sylenth cause it seemed simple enough and had some great sounds. I’ll still get Massive and Sylenth a bit later but I’ll learn my basics with ANA. Yo! Anyway, I appreciate some feedback.br
Starts off great… excellent drum loop. really groovy.br
br
Its all most perfect up until the first break… i felt that the chord shape you had chosen was a bit floaty for the start of the track it kind of softens the mood… seems like there might be a 7th in there. br
br
Maybe try to stick with a minor triad. 0, 3, 7br
br
The start of the chords at the drop i quite liked but when the extra parts come in it sort of loses it a bit… more work needed there to make it a bit stronger… especially with the bass notes… you maybe dont ned so many changes. or they need to tie in to the chords better.br
br
I like the bloopy synth after the break… its got a good vibe… could maybe be improved by being a touch more aggressive… maybe with a lower octave.br
br
You have defo got the guts of something there. keep working on it and let us hear how you get on.br

Wow! It feels awesome to here from you live. These are the notes I put in my file. I’m restating just to be sure I’m correct about the sections you commented on.br
br
Introbr
-Good drums br
-Groovy:Dbr
br
First Breakbr
-Too floaty (7th) br
[I believe I have it 0, 3, 7, 10. I think I used the chord formation from one of the Tech House tutorials as a base then inverted stuff till it sounded good.]br
-Maybe try sticking with minor triad chords 0, 3, 7br
[Drop the 10]br
br
The Dropbr
-Good in the beginning, good bloopy synthbr
-Looses strength when the bass note comes inbr
-Possibly less changes or better fit with the restbr
-Bloops need more aggression. Try adding a lower octave.br
br
Seems like things are a little weak so I’ll make these some changes leaning toward more aggression. I messed with the chords a bit before writing this and just dropping that 10 gave it a better sound instantly. br
br
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll take like a day break to get away from it then get it up asap. Thanks Phil.br
I agree with Phil. I’m really lovin the drums that you’ve got goin on there, but the lead sounds too soft to back it up. It needs to have a grittier sound for Dutch House, something that builds and leaves you wanting the tune to kick back in, so that it can release back to the bloopy sound. br
br
There’s loads of really good presets on the ANA, try looking at the comb filter one’s to see how they’re constructed and then tweak to taste or leave it as it is :w00t:br
br
It’s got some really nice groove in there though mate, maybe think about changing the bloopy sound after the 2nd break so that it sounds a little harsher to add some variation…
