[QUOTE=MilkBagz;46029222] I've been throwing tracks together left and right lately, but I just can't be bothered to finish most of them. Here's some recent WIP shit though. [media]http://soundcloud.com/masonkaskiw/creep-wip[/media] [media]http://soundcloud.com/masonkaskiw/every-time[/media][/QUOTE] Oh shit these are great. I would love to hear them finished. Super swingy and crisp all around. [QUOTE=Skeeter;46035607] I started with the idea of making some drum&bass, I didn't want to use a sample for the drums so I started fiddling with some of my own, it turned out to become something more funk/jazzy. [media]http://soundcloud.com/skriket/ett-band-som-heter-ayatollah-preview[/media] [/QUOTE] Loving the funk on this one. Really liked the mix on the bass & kick drum, but some of the other percussion sounded a little quiet. Not too eventful but it's got potential for progression. (good drumwork too) [QUOTE=Hobo4President;46020658] I just finished a remix of holocene by bon iver [media]http://soundcloud.com/hobo4president/bon-iver-holocene-philip-madden-remix[/media][/QUOTE] Gr8 work yo. Pleasant structure and a really clean mix. I don't really have much to say for improvements. [QUOTE=Mysterious Mr.E;46023979] [media]http://soundcloud.com/corn-mouth/bloody-gums-and-rainbows-v2[/media] Made a beat with an organ and some glitchy stuffs. Might expand on it later[/QUOTE] Very abstract sounding. I can somewhat hear a rhythm bouncing through it, but I thought it was still a little hard to tell what was going on in terms of the beat. I think the drums were OK, but they needed just a little more backbone to flesh out the groove (the speak & spell was a nice touch, too). I liked the Organ samples but I didn't think the way the chords progressed fit the aesthetic the drums were going for. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [media]http://soundcloud.com/anax-1/tention[/media] My microphone finally shipped in and I went pretty crazy recording every sound I could. Plan on cleaning this one up and expanding some more. [media]http://soundcloud.com/anax-1/rain-seesay[/media] Worked on an older chillout track. Nearing completion.

[QUOTE=Adius Shadow;46019896]Good useage of sampling, comes out really mellow and chill mate! I need to learn how to sample...I have been literally only using Nexus and default sounds in Fl studio, feels like cheating... [media]http://soundcloud.com/jaredrobertson/au-1[/media] [media]http://soundcloud.com/jaredrobertson/sweatstorm[/media] [media]http://soundcloud.com/jaredrobertson/nimbus[/media][/QUOTE] Nothing wrong with using default sounds, the important thing is that it sounds good, both tonally and in context with all the other instruments. [B]Au-1[/B]The first track reminds me a LOT of a band called Min Stora Sorg I had the pleasure of being a sound&light guy for, a female voice singing on top of this would be really sweet. Either someone with a very frail highpitched voice, or someone in the like of Lady Gaga with her deep warm voice. It all sounds very nice and you have a good mix of both very dark and boomy bass and treble, very good choice making the kick drum clicky and the snare the way it is, gels together very well! [B]Sweatstorm[/B]The second track picks up where the first track ends, there's something about it though that I just can't put my finger on, something feels odd. Could be the mixing or could be me not in the mood for electronic music and screechy synths, I don't know. I think what you have going in the first track is borderline perfect and making it longer would be really cool! [B]Nimbus[/B]Third has a similar problem, although this sounds like a combination of first and second track so it is definietly an improvement. Still, screechy synths I don't like :< Here's a new rework on the track I've posted earlier, with new bass (two separate takes, both panned left/right) and some more variations to the drums. They beat the same pattern, but I've tweaked in more ghost notes and even the kick does it too! Oh, and new guitar :v: [media]http://soundcloud.com/skriket/ett-band-som-heter-ayatollah-preview[/media]

[media]http://soundcloud.com/anax-1/iland-qrep[/media] Little ambient thing for some sampling fun. Sry for huge post[/QUOTE] Tention is sick, I like the lead synth (including the melody & rhythm of it) you started using at 1:17 a lot. Everything progresses nicely too, you could probably make the song more than twice as long as it is and it still wouldn't get boring, with all the different sounds coming in and changing every now and then. The only thing I don't really like about the track is the evil laugh sounds, 'cause I always though evil laughs were corny, but that's just me. Did you record the melodic instruments or just the percussion and other stuff? Sometimes I look around my house for shit to make sounds out of, but I can never think of anything to use for melodic instruments and I just end up with a bunch of rattling sounds and shit. Th02 Stampit is good as fuck, I liked the drums right off the bat. Then as soon as shit changes at 0:43 it just gets fucking perfect, the bass sounds a lot cleaner and the synth that starts there is sick. The bass kind of eats shit on the lower notes in the intro though. Iland QRep is nice and calm as hell, the way the lead synth thing clicks bothers the shit outta me though. I don't really like the other 2 so much, only out of my taste though, I don't think there's anything wrong with them. [editline]eat an egg[/editline] also thanks

[/QUOTE] All the percussion was recorded, and yes I did try to incorporate some melodic recordings. The bells & bass in the intro were both recorded from metal thermoses ringing-- and the bass at 1:47 was a rubber band strum. And yeah the laugh was just some Halloween toy that I decided to sample to see how it turned out. Not going to use it for the final version for sure lol. Thanks for the feedback!

Here it is now, a more finalized product (posted it on my facebook page for me as an artist and my own personal) [media]http://soundcloud.com/skriket/ett-band-som-heter-ayatollah[/media] I really like the vocoder or what it is that you use on your voice, I think it would be really fucking cool to use it to build chords with it AND even use it for singing. A more regular beat would probably fit it better the way it is now, with a regular kick, snare, kickSnare type of beat. With the kick on 1, snare on 2, kick on 3½ and then snare on the 4. Looking forward to your album too, going to be solid as hell! :)

I think the rythm is good and has a nice flow to it. Can't wait to hear the vocals :) Maybe it's me but the drums and guitar sound a little quiet, not sure though. I'm kind of in over my head here, I'm trying complextro/dubstep and it's getting difficult to keep my head above water and see my track. I feel like it might be a little to complex but I would appreciate any help on this WIP especially from other hard dance creators. This is only Drop 1 and Drop 2 no buildup or anything else. Thats what i'm focusing on atm. [media]http://soundcloud.com/dredile/way-more-dubstep-harder-preview[/media]

I can't really put my finger on what's wrong with it - I think some of the synths don't particularly compliment eachother, and there's not much in terms of rythm. The synths should add to the rhythm, not be desperately trying to keep up with it - and the composition seems a little all over the place, quite random (but not in the good complextro way if you catch my drift). Worked a bit more on that neuro-trap-whatever thing but I can't decide whether it has potential/I like it [media]http://soundcloud.com/awesomesaucee/ok-then[/media] EDIT: Oooooh, just started this and I'm really digging it.

yeah my bad sorry guys
