Ableton 'Beat The Clock' Competition

Music Production Track Feedback
1

Alright guys

This is my submission for the Ableton 'Beat The Clock' competition. I was given 24 hours to make a song using various parts provided from a number of producers. I choose the vocal provided by Junior Boys with one of their pads and came up with a Deep House track.

I'm pleased with the result so have a listen and if you like it you can click on this link to vote. http://contest.ableton.com/tracks/863

The winner gets a trip to Berlin which would be brilliant as i live in Sydney so i would get to see my family in the UK while i'm over there (Which is well overdue!)

I voted for you under my SC account Foolboyz

Really liked this track, the one thing I found it lacked was that the plucky bassline didnt flow and mesh? Maybe the release was too short? It left too many gaps if that makes sense…

I dont know, maybe its just me who finds things like that a bit weird but it kept throwing me off for some reason.



Will definately vote for you when I get a chance though, track had a lot of cool elements, I think twisted was spot on with the garage’ish vibe, I liked it!

Cheers guys appreciate it



Thanks for the feedback Mistro. I wrote the first layer of the bassline with intentional gaps. As the track progresses i fill those gaps with diffferent sounds and percussion elements to give it a groove. Then after the first breakdown i layer the bassline with a more subby bass which hits on slightly different notes and fills things out a bit

No probs, voted!



Interesting remix, it’s quite unique in that it’s not specifically one style…kind of a cross between Electro and Dubstep. Good luck with the comp!

Massive thanks to everyone thats voted so far.



Out of over 1,500 entries i’m sitting around the top 30 which is amazing, so thanks again for the support!



I’m sure you know how these competitions work, it’s more of a popularity contest and how many Soundcloud followers you have which is a croc of ****. I wish people would start running competitions and judge on actual quality.



Anyhow if i end up in the top 25 when the comp ends, a winner will be chosen based on quality of the song…so i’m really trying to get myself in there to have a chance.



There’s still plenty of time to vote so if you get chance to have a listen and place a vote i’d really appreciate it. And if anyone wants a copy PM me and i’ll send one over.

Just voted for you mate.



Honestly, didn’t really enjoy the first minute or so. Felt a bit empty and, I dunno, off somehow.



Then everything stated to click into place and the new parts you introduced gelled the piece together.



Cheers

Ekko - Will do mate



Jon - cheers for the feedback and vote. I know what you mean about something sounding a little off key, i can’t put my finger on it, but when the other parts come in it kinda sorts itself out
