Techno Track want's Feedback

[SA_GEM]

Hi. I made a song where i think it could go under the label Techno,
What do you think about it ?

Thank you.

Hey there @SA_GEM

It might be a personal taste, but I found the kick not sitting well in the track. You have very great sounds in there with a "S.Bozdin" like melodic techno sound and I found the kick a bit decreasing the overall listening experience. First of all I found it too "festival techno" kick stylish for this track, a bit too loud and with a lot of saturation. A shorter kick, more "minimal techno" style would suits better in the track IMHO. Not sure if this track needed the classic anthem techno "rumble" feel if you know what I mean.

For the rest nice track and nice progression, good work

Cheers !

@Tekalight
Thank you for listening. Yes the kick sounds a bit misplaced. I tried to mix together the "knocking" techno kick with some melodic vibe. I watched some course here for leveling kick & bass (Protoculture) and think that i get it better next time. The kick was made with Kick 2.
Working title for this was indeed "Rumble Techno". So summed up i tried some different techno "styles" and mixed them up.

Yep this course from Protoculture is excellent but for sure, it's one that you have to come back & re-watch taking the time to grab all the advanced techniques to get there. Well you know what they say... Rome wasn't built in a day... It takes some time to get your mixes sound good, but the learning experience along the journey is always valuable

Don't worry, we all struggle to get that "perfect" track and as mentioned before, you've got very nice elements in this one.

Cheers !

i'd prefer the song to be cheesier in its melody. with those synths, a bit more paul kalkbrenner, bpitch control, berlin hipster-techhouse.
