A track I made while doing one of the tutorials on SA. As always, I will be grateful for your feedback.
Hey there @adamsid
Sorry for the delayed reply
It’s a nice track IMO
Like the melodic elements and the overall song structure works for me.
A few suggestion and what I liked less in this one :
-
Everything synths is slightly overpowered comparing to the drums, you might want to readjust the levels or get those drums a bit louder.
-
I would definitely layer several claps ( one adding a bit more low end ) and also add reverb to give a bit more live and emphasis to the clap.
-
It can then be used during the drops with a more drastic reverb effect even delay or repeating claps - Something like what you did at around 5:22 but even more pronounced.
-
More drastic transition for the drops like taking out everything, then repeating claps through reverb and then bring back everything for the full drop. Silence is golden sometime
It could be done around 1:33 and also at 4:35 to improve the drop.
-
Not a big fan of the noise glitches during the intro, found them too loud and with too much low end, it should just be “ears candies”, it’s more subtle around 3:34 and works better.
-
Would experience with a shorter Kick or one with more transient that would cut more through the sub pad bass.
-
More variations for the drums, but again it’s a bit behind other elements now, so you might want to readjust levels before.
Hope this helps and sorry again for the delayed feedback.
Cheers
Thank you, as always really appreciate the feedback. I’ve had a listen after a few days with fresh ears and can certainly see merit in your comments. A few things to work on the next time!
