[QUOTE=chaz13;46346069]Nice! I like it, the wide panned strings around 50 seconds are a bit loud I think, though. Finally got the vocals for my hip hop thing, not sure if I like them much but it's better than nothing: [media]http://soundcloud.com/awesomesaucee/neurohop-with-vox-wip[/media][/QUOTE] I like them! I'm a fan of fast paced rap. This also reminds me Jet Set Radio Future music for some reason.

The only thing that bothers me with this track is the distorted glitch sounds kind of overpower the vocals at points, kind of stealing the focus. Made a vocal draft for wave of bees, now named Riverbed. I wish I had some actual recording equipment since this thing was recorded on my headset. I have a bunch of songs that I want to record but can't because I can't do much good with headset recordings :( Also singing lessons. Gotta get those.

[media]http://soundcloud.com/skriket/king-kong-demo[/media] I was thinking of doing some sort of EP and this track in particular is supposed to be the intro track, but I don't know what to add to it. I was thinking of animal noises, people chanting and shit, but I can't find any proper samples of it and I was then thinking of finding some cool horror movie to sample. Anyone gets any particular vibe when they listen to the track? [QUOTE=chaz13;46346069]Nice! I like it, the wide panned strings around 50 seconds are a bit loud I think, though.

I like the effect you've done on the vocals, if you would let the instruments take a backseat when he raps (and cut it down 10 bpm) it would be a really cool track I think!

[media]http://soundcloud.com/gryoss/riverbed-vocal-draft[/media][/QUOTE] That's a really heavy kick, nice job! In terms of vocals, don't be afraid of using autotuner! Just a small nudge can make a huge difference. In terms of the performance of your vocals, I think what you're currently lacking right now is breath support! When you sing, exactly where does your muscles work? Is it all in your 'head' you use muscles, or do you bring the air from your stomach? When you sing, you want the whole body to join in and not just your upper chest and head. The delay is probably a bit too prominent as well, cutting it back a bit I think would add a lot more to it, now it is too obvious and with already one instrument having a lot of delay makes it seem a bit messy y'know? Overall I really like the instrumentation, has a very cool vibe to it!

The snare is really flat aswell but thats minor. Other then that the progression is nice and it's always cool hearing vocals in a track. :) Keep it up. Experimented with another guy named HaZmat and we came up with this. Kind of edm with guitar and vocoder elements. [media]http://soundcloud.com/dredile/scrael-and-hazmat-rock-me[/media]

Slightly off topic, but just wanted to thank you all for giving me feedback. I'm listening to some of my older stuff (I started 3-ish years ago) and it's truly amazing to see how far I've come. I mean, holy fuck I actually tried singing. That's kind of a big deal for me haha. You guys help me become better at one of my favorite hobbies and that's priceless. @Skeeter: I try to sing out of my stomach most of the time, but I can't sing too loud with my headset since it clips like fuck. Once I get my hands on a real mic I hope I'll see what I'm capable of.

This dude is the inspiration for a lot of my music and in my personal taste, the intro should work most on acting as emphasis for the actual start of the album/ep. Maybe add some introductory samples that compliment the theme of the EP as well? Can't give that much advice due to my lack of knowledge in the field. Also, another track from the EP I'm working on, also a vocal draft. (I keep singing off tune on this one, but I hope it gets the point across) [media]http://soundcloud.com/gryoss/the-up-north-demo[/media] Finally got a final tracklist for my EP!

[/sp][/QUOTE] When I did some vocal recordings (more like screaming than singing) with a headset mic I put some bandage around it to make it possible to belt it out. You can always adjust the distance between your mouth and the microphone as well, just keep an eye on the recording interface when you do so that you get a good idea of when you're close to peaking. What effect are you using on the vocal? It sounds like it keeps going up&down in volume and it sort of bothers me, like you have a compressor pumping on it. I think getting the vocals to not be so distant could make a huge difference, the singing sounds more on-key here and it fits better with everything else much better than the last track. How are you currently mixing the vocals? You can always add more bass to it (something it lacks because of the way you're recording and part mixing I would assume) by copying the track and pitching it down a whole octave, then mix it with the original voice.

[QUOTE=deano270;46221273]Mixdown is crispy overall, sounds good! Some thoughts as i listened through it a couple of times: Vocal sample is too dominant. It doesn't leave much room for the drums to come through. Try and EQ it so that there is room for the drums to come through. In particular the clap gets lost at times, which is a shame because the drum break is really solid! Bass patch is great with a clean sub. From a stylistic point of view, I think a very short/no attack on the bass will make it much more stabby and bring out the groove, but sound design is great! Alternatively, modulate the attack so some stabs have a short attack, and maybe every 4th beat or something could have the attack increase? Your plucky lead also feels a little wooden, tighten up the EQ so only the necessary frequencies are there but it still keeps it's warmth. Chorus might give a better feel. Have you thought about a few cymbal crashes and white noise risers? That can sometimes help build energy, just be careful not to have them too overpowering. Bridge from 2:55 is really cool though, that's my favourite part :)[/QUOTE] So I had a crack at this sorta "Future House" thing that seems to be getting really popular at the moment and I really have no idea if I hit the right sort of groove for it. Spent a few hours on this track kinda just throwing stuff at the wall to see if it sticks. There's something about it I kinda like though. Only got a chorus at the moment [media]http://soundcloud.com/deano490/shallow[/media]

Well produced, and mostly interesting. I would probably add more textures and more layers to the second run of your main thing, after the interlude you have. The variations in your guitar/string pluck thing is really good so no changes there or even to the piano. Maybe add a harmony/counterpoint to your backing string layer when the drums come back in, or even add a nice overarching melody to the whole thing.

[QUOTE=SIRIUS;46412134]Anyone else?[/QUOTE] Really beautiful. As Fussy! said, I think the percussions could make use of a better sample, and the cymbals which appear every couple secs could be changed too. They sound a bit cheapy. But those melodies, dude, should you consider giving me the midi (piano roll) I'd make a nice prog house song. It's in your hands though. [editline]5th November 2014[/editline] Also, the underlying pianos could stand out a bit more, specially when the strings start around 0:45

Uploaded a newer version of what I did, with an intro, but still some timing errors and such but whatever. Gave it a name too, Devourer.

[QUOTE=killerzombie;46427733]Uhh, well, i wanted to share my song i made not so long ago, i did some criticism a few posts up... [media]http://soundcloud.com/z0mb0t/elint[/media][/QUOTE] The reason I said "did criticism 2 posts up" was because I was uploading the songs to soundcloud, and as this ain't an active thread, I thought I could merge posts. What I'm trying to say is, even though what I did wasn't the best, you shouldn't say "oh I did some criticism a couple of posts up" while looking as you aren't interested at all in giving your opinion on other's people songs (besides the fact your posts were from 3 days ago, you could really listen a bit the couple of songs under you). If I sounded rude, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to say that giving truthful C&C is the main objective of this thread. Now, back to your song. Nice melodies. The main pad on the background becomes a little too repetitive maybe after a minute or two. Maybe it's the phaser? A great number of the synths in the song sound like you applied phaser on it. Maybe you're overusing that eff. The song sounds very punky to me, and I don't know why (in a good sense); it makes me feel like I'm in a dystopian 2050's highway. And I like it for that. (Sorry again if you felt me rude, I'm not having a good day)
