[QUOTE=Rediscover;45894585]i dont really care for orchestral music but this is actually very nice. good work here's a cool beat i made last night [media]http://soundcloud.com/azathoth/for-paula[/media][/QUOTE] Great sounding drums. Might sound even better if you arranged the drums in a more traditional boom bap way.

[QUOTE=Rediscover;45894585] here's a cool beat i made last night [media]http://soundcloud.com/azathoth/for-paula[/media][/QUOTE] That was really sexy and chill. I wish your intro was a lot longer. I thought that was the coolest part in its all three seconds of glory. ______________________________________ Also I've been working earlier this week on some background music for a science fiction pen and paper RPG. It's called Eclipse Phase and I have been playing it with my friends for a few months. My GM (Game Master) was talking to me about creating some music for the next session that is coming up. Anyways here is what I've been working on with that. Dark Space - [media]http://soundcloud.com/russiangodfather/dark-space[/media]

Nice. those sounds that come in at around 6 min totally remind me of the Aliens soundtrack.

[QUOTE=NateDude;45890892] [media]http://soundcloud.com/polarstar-1/chill-song-version-2-wip[/media] How's this? Added drum complexity in that comes in a little bit into the song (though I'm not sure if it's good), added a better sense of progression to it...I feel like it's better. Not positive, however, that all my changes were for the better, but I'm probably the most satisfied with this song then any of my others (which isn't saying much considering it's one of the few songs I've made so far).[/QUOTE] I'm not a fan of the chords you're using in the intro, something more clean and less dissonant (and with a piano overtone) would sound a lot better I think. The almost airy synth that comes in with the drums is beautiful, what's the name of it? Drums I dig, makes me bob my head along with them. :) A groovy distorted bass to make the track fuller would be cool, you've definietly got something good going with the drums and the airy synth. The intro synth you're using not so much. I don't know if it is just because of the chords or if the whole sound of it ruins it for me, I would go for some happier chords, maybe an 1-4-7 chord? And piano overtones (as in, layer it all with some good piano vst). Speaking of piano, I found a really cool chord progression that I can't for the life of me find something to build into beyond that progression, so I decided to make a short little piece: [media]http://soundcloud.com/skriket/weep-not-because-it-is-over-be-happy-it-happened[/media]

Those chords are this, F# major, A# major, D# minor, and then B major? What you could do to change the progression is go from F# major to A# minor. Another thing that would be a little crazier would be going 2nd inversion B major (F#, B, D#) to 1st inversion E minor (G, B, E) if you really wanted to change the progression. Just a little simple music theory, haha. [QUOTE=chaz13;45907759] I'm working on an instrumental thing for once, and not jazz. It's some weird asiany thing.

Maybe flatten it a bit with an eq. Maybe crank up that organ thing @0.34. Other than that, maybe add some vocal samples around. It always spices things up in my opinion. I have a song that I think I overcompressed and probably messed up the low end on. Maybe because I am only mixing with a headset now.. <REMOVED TEMPORARILY>

[media]http://soundcloud.com/gryoss/escapist[/media] [media]http://soundcloud.com/gryoss/well-be-happy-again-feat-yotz[/media][/QUOTE] I totally agree with you, the piano there is really harsh (partly because of the piano I chose, partly because it has no dynamics at all with it going 100% all the time and partly because of some EQing I did to try and get out those higher parts for easier composition) and I've now done something about it. :) That intro on your first song is really nice! Gets me into the mood almost immedietaly, as for the lyrics I can't tell what you're singing most of the time but I really like the effect you have on it! Do you also sing that high or have you been fiddling with octaving it? As already mentioned the drums are really drowned out right now, that can be solved by fleshing out all the various instruments however. I would recommend by starting with highpassing every instrument that doesn't work as a bass, there's no magic frequency where you should cut but I would recommend starting at 100hz, then going higher and higher until you notice that the instrument starts to sound bad, dial back a bit then and settle for that. Another trick you can do is to sidechain the bass to the kick, have it duck down the bass with every kick with just a tiny marginal, enough so that the kick pushes it down but not enough to create a sidechain effect (it'll sound like the bass is playing a backbeat when it is too much). It also sounds like you have a lot of frequencies fighting for room near 3-5khz, I think deciding whether the voice or the synths should have that spot would help clean up the mix a lot! The second track has a bit better mix, and the vocals are nice :) The same issues are on this track however, there's a lot of sounds near the vocal range and you could probably let the main synth dial back a bit there and maybe occupy the 500hz-2khz range, and some of the treble? I like your vocals, they remind me of cruxshadow and eurythmics!

[media]http://soundcloud.com/thedanielholt/schedule[/media][/QUOTE] It sounds more dance than those other genres, more weird sounds and small bits of synth playing melodies could really make this one pop! As for the length I think you could probably scale it back a bit if you want to have the groove go on and on, or add more elements to it. Maybe a strong lead synth with a nice melody? :) [editline]7th September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=TuLiq;45916343] I have a song that I think I overcompressed and probably messed up the low end on.

[media]http://soundcloud.com/tuliq/nakata[/media][/QUOTE] Yeah there's definietly some low end missing, dialing back on the compressor and doing something about the bass and you've got a really nice thing going! Maybe have some part(s) where things dial down? I think 2:24 could be a part where things quiet down, especially the lead synth on the right channel! The vocal sample is slick as shit, nice work! If this had some dynamics it would be definietly a hit I think, you have some really good sounds going on :) [editline]7th September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=chaz13;45916426]I quite like this, the singing is not bad.

I like the sounds you have, and the kick! That is a REALLY nice kick, is it a homemade sample or? Only thing I can think of is that hihat, but that is purely because I personally think it has been too used in psytrance without any modifications. Honestly I really like the track, it stays fresh throughout the whole time (and 10 minutes, dang!) It has a slight Kavinsky feel to it, which I think is fantastic because Kavinsky is one of my favourite composers. How did you make that bass? I would love to know. :) [editline]7th September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=chaz13;45917814]This is so good. Harmonies/chord progressions are great, the synth are awesome too.

[B]UPDATE[/B] [media]http://soundcloud.com/skriket/after-all-this-time[/media] I have now decided that the drums, as nice as they are, doesn't work as well as I would want them. SO! I removed them, and put the strings a bit lower too in the mix. I think this might be the final version, if anyone finds anything that can be done to improve it then say so. :)

It has a lot of good presets which can be modified rather easily. If you want I can send ya the MIDI-data for this specific bass via PM (Kickdrum is just a standard sound, unmodified).

You should definietly let the bass come forward more, let it peek through like it does at 0:32 :) You have a good opportunity for it to do something sweet at 0:44, when the drums end for instance.

The part with only bass is beautiful and builds up perfectly with more and more things coming in, such as the strings and the almost industrial sounds. Personally I would have the drums come in a bit earlier, maybe have a drop too at 1:50 to really punctuate the introduction of the drums? There's a high frequency on the "scrap metal" sound too that makes it hard for me to crank up the volume, I like the overcompressed sound of most of the things too.

The first song IMO was thought to be redone in some different way, but your opinion is up to all of you. The second one, honestly, is quite better than its original, given that it is a remix of my "me vs mashup alias" song. Coincidentially, the second one samples a Rick and Morty episode, on behalf to the original, where it plays the source of the sampled acapella. You'll know what it is.

Glad this thread is still going strong, I've been mostly absent due to school and all that jazz, not to mention that I've gotten no inspiration to write a piece of awhile. That being said, I'd like to mention that I am going to be taking courses over the winter and summer to become a Pro Tools certified instructor. I'll take two courses over the winter break and two more over the summer break. I cannot wait for this experience and I'm so excited for my musical career to begin taking off in a new direction. Hopefully I can start checking this thread out more often, but if I can't then best wishes to all of you guys!

The distorted sound is pretty sweet, you should make a track where that one's used as a tight heavy lead! The kick is pretty damn good too, nice work! Second track? Love it! Really good combination and a nice beat to go with it :) Is that Xzibit that comes in later? Nice combination there too, and interesting volume automation too! I've only listened to the tracks on my headphones, it sounds really good (both of the tracks) mix-wise. Can't say I like the turn of events in the second track, it would be really awesome if you had gone back to sampling rick&morty in my opinion!

[QUOTE=Skeeter;45945660]I like the first track until the vocal sample comes in, I can only think of where it is originally used and always expect to hear the beat that is on that track. The distorted sound is pretty sweet, you should make a track where that one's used as a tight heavy lead! The kick is pretty damn good too, nice work! Second track? Love it! Really good combination and a nice beat to go with it :) Is that Xzibit that comes in later? Nice combination there too, and interesting volume automation too! I've only listened to the tracks on my headphones, it sounds really good (both of the tracks) mix-wise. Can't say I like the turn of events in the second track, it would be really awesome if you had gone back to sampling rick&morty in my opinion![/QUOTE] I can't say that in the second track it's Xzibit, though I don't know who it is, the acapella used was obviously from DMX ("X Gon' Give it to ya"), and that acapella's song was used in that Rick & Morty episode (the one with the Devil's cursed object store, I mean the ending song where [sp]Rick and Summer get ripped as hell and beat the Devil to a pulp, later to some douches like the Westboro guy and the skinhead[/sp]), along with the intro sample. The original was more based on Freddy got Fingered (the ending credits music, "The Real Slim Shady", I think, from Eminem), that's why it's called "sausagecore". Mostly I pretend to maximize the pumping of the kick drum, so it sounds heavier on headphones. I mostly listen through headphones a lot, and I like a lot the sound of heavy kick drums, specially those that have that "boooooom" effect. Other samples I used in the second one are Rammstein's "Pussy", in the remix, I also used sound effects from Doom and TF2, and the obvious airhorn, just for the lulz. There's not a real volume automation there though, all of it is due to a bunch of tweaks in mastering. I hope this informs you a lot. I'm looking forward to produce similar tracks.

[QUOTE=Skeeter;45945660] [media]http://soundcloud.com/skriket/thank-you-for-the-music[/media] I decided to use a completely different chord progression, this one has a main part with the chords E C G B. :)[/QUOTE] I don't really have anything bad to say about this, it's so good.
