Crash - Under the lake (Original mix) / NEED TIPSSSSS

Hey guys!!

I didn’t produced a techno track for a while now,
so i made this one about one week ago :slight_smile:

I’ll label this track on dub techno (IMO :smiley: )

Here’s the track:

I’ll need advices and tips on this guys !
it would be really great for me, i really need to improve my work :wink:

Thanks !

Really dark and ambient. Nothing much to pinpoint specifically, if this was the minimal sound you were looking for then there ya go.

This is just my opinion, but the beginning had a very dub techno feel, but then it turned into more of a deeper house kinda tune with the high attack pad - almost like it was two different songs. I think tying that initial drone-like pad into the song more would help a bit in that regard. I’d actually tuck back the kick and some of the other percussive elements like the rim shots/snares a bit as dubby techno (at least the dub I like) oftentimes has a more subtle kick and percussive element.

Some Jonsson/Alter is what this tune reminded me of. Something along the lines of:

Overall though, I thought it was a tight mix, good sound design and automation of the elements.

Keep at it man!

Thank you guys for the comments !

Yep, i tried to make a really ambient track.
Thanks for the tip INDY, i thought about adding this pad into the track but i wasn’t sure of it !
by tuck the kick and percs you meant make it put them more discreetly ?

That’s the kind of track i was looking for, thanks for sharing this !

Yeah, not so out front. In layman’s terms…more quiet. :wink: But you could do a number of things to do that besides just volume control - go for more of a lo-fi sound is what I was thinking. But you’re the artist brutha! :slight_smile:
