[QUOTE=Kopimi;40494736]the beginning bit is rather boring imo, i think it kinda falls into the "its experimental so it can be really ambient and abstract" trap, once it comes back around 4.30 i start to really like it especially when the distorted synths start sounding in the background, the vocal sample sets things off really well too. everything past 6.45 is so nice, makes me think of a sorta downtempo animal collective? probably an awful way to describe it but idk thats what it reminds me of i guess
the track as a whole is really nice and well done but it does bore me a bit. i suppose as a closing track if you mean for it to be more of an ambient exit for your album it makes sense, but its definitely not something id find myself coming back and listening to on purpose, if only for the fact that it feels too vaguely structured. idk i'm rambling and its probably just because im in a shit mood and i dont feel like "getting into" a rather depressing track but ye its well done[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the criticism. I did feel like the song in general was a bit bland, and I tried adding a bit more texture through ambient samples and synths but it feels as if it's more congested instead of its intended effect. Would a more flowing melody for the beginning part make more sense, and keep it interesting?
[QUOTE=Eyefunk;40494382]A long experimental piece coming up.
It would be great if you guys could give the whole thing a listen, since it's the last song to an album I'm working on. Please leave me some criticism, suggestions, etc!

Thank you![/QUOTE]
It has too much low end.
It's a good track - I like how it has different movements, but I feel like you could push yourself further. :smile:

I feel it needs more funk, Eyefunk!
ye my main thing with it is that it just sounds too ambient. if you're going for an ambient closer to an album thats fine and it'll probably work in the context of the album but if you're trying to end the album with an actual "playable" track people will come back to on its own id make the melody more coherent and present in the song with some synthwork or maybe just establishing the melody with some sample chopping/glitching or something like that. you can keep the ambient / abstract feeling of the track without sacrificing a consistent and obvious melody that a listener can whistle along with

you should add something besides one almost non-musical measure over and over again

I dunno but there are some real harsh high frequencies in there you could try to tidy up

Made some progress since I last posted this here.
Also I still have no idea how to compress properly. The whole song is still pretty quiet, but you can hear the compression. If I make it any louder, then Cubase starts complaining about clipping.[/QUOTE]
Sounds pretty fine to me, you don't need to make it any louder, it sounds fine as it is

Has some real western vibes in here, sorta makes me think of Django, really good work here
[media]http://soundcloud.com/azlar/press-start[/media] I thought this sounded funny.
Trying to make my percussion more complex. I think it sounds pretty good.

So beautiful, fucking marvelous work, just need to add some more variation in the melody, since it gets a bit repetitive

working on some things but hopefully can be done soon, got a little crazy with layers at the end so I think I might tone it down
pretty okay so far with just one melody in place with just 3 chords, hopefully have enough time to evolve it
For some reason in the last chord, I want to hear the last notes change to "C and E". I don't know why and you don't have to change it by any means - it's just me.
It also seems just a tad repetitive. Layering is a good way to build up or build down a song, but it's not a good technique for structuring an entire song. It seems kind of like you were just adding and removing layers based on the same progression in a way that strains the listener a bit - I felt like I was supposed to be taken to a new part of the song that never showed up.
Facepunch - I present to you one new remix of mine:

It's still a work in progress but I enjoy what I have so far. :D
Also, here's some futuristic elevator music:

I don't know where to take this song at all! I have this one portion and that's... it.

Newest track; Do Something

Check it out!!
Here's a song I made a few years ago that was half finished. I lost the project file so it's the only version I have.

do something: the beginning was cool, but I felt like the beginning riff drags on a little. could be cause I'm listening through lap speaks tho
edit: sorry I meant end gets nice, but the beginning takes a little too long to get there
edit2: sorry that was meant for zombie man's track

Thanks for listening to my track!
What genre is your song? I honestly didn't like it at all until 2.20, I liked it from that point until the end. The beginning really threw me off tho.

ah so stupid, I'm sorry man I listened to the track below yours by zombie man. Just listened to yours now, I really love the way the plucked strings, synth, and bowed string all coalesce together, really nice textures there. as far as what to improve, maybe the percussion, doesn't quite measure up to the other components I think.
not sure what genre mine is either hehe, mashup mabye, but thanks for being honest with the feedback.
I know the synth isn't on beat at the beginning..

this is the first time i've made anything that isn't intentionally lofi. took a lot of inspiration from the beach boys, tame impala, the doors, and qotsa with this.

doing most of this for fun, not really sticking to anything until i can actually mix things properly.

Inspired by VHS footage, basically just a reworked daft punk song, left somewhat desolate space for 2 rap verses. My goal is to make it sound like a VHS tape looks, if that makes sense.
If anyone's concerned about the use of another song, this sort of reengineering is something I personally enjoy, and I'm not making any profit off of it. And if it sucks, just give me tips, this is my first song :V
also i couldnt figure out media tagging soundcloud shit

This is really cool! It really has sort of an old school tape loop feel to it.
Your song kind reminded me of my own early experiments.

And yeah, the tape feel is crucial to what I'm going for on this
