Getting better and better with my sound but still feel like i’m missing something…
For what it is, it sounds good but you show try automating and modulating a number of things to give some life and movement. Other than that you seem to be on the right track
Thanks Nephew. This is a first draft and after taking a break from it for a while… I do hear that I need to add some life to it.
Cool cool, next time keep these first drafts to yourself though.
curious… whats the thinking behind that?
There’s so much music out there it’s hard to listen to it all, and if you keep putting up only so so productions that aren’t finished then people will start to associate that with your name and then they’ll stop checking out your stuff.
Same thing that happens when you send stuff out to labels, you would never send unfinished projects, because then they’ll start to associate your name with so so unfinished productions and won’t even bother listening to them.
Just being honest mate, if anything you should try and build a small network of trusted individuals who you know will give honest feedback and who you can trust. That will get you a hell of a lot further than just throwing it up on a messageboard in my opinion.
yea problem is I don’t have anyone I can trust with a good ear to listen to my tracks… but its only my 2nd track ever. I’ll keep it in mind.
Thanks again.
BASS!! is there any way you would consider letting me remix it after you finish? i’ll give you full credit blah blah blah.
i’d go with more percussion 
As much as I like percs myself, I really don’t think there’s a need for it
maybe some piano synths here and there since your main one is just 3 notes and in the center and other synths are heavy on effects, or hell maybe a flute or something i dunno
yea I need more VSTs. I I only have 1 at the moment, which is NIs Razor. I need more selection!
You don’t need more VSTs, just work with the one you have. Try going for an oldschool monophonic hip hop sine lead with some gilde ala Kool and The Gangs Summer Madness and jazz it out
hehehe, could almost make an entire song with razor!
Is that a challenge? I’ll see if I can do it
