I like some of the elements in this track. The bass/kick combo is bang on. Suits the genre pretty well.

Some of the vocals and ad-libs are a little weird IMO. I can't really complain about much else though. The mix suits the genre this is trying to emulate, the synths and progressions are all pretty decent. There's some change-ups in there to keep things interesting, but near the middle it does get a little stale for me.

Overall, good stuff. Not exactly my favourite flavour but it was pretty well executed. Keep at it man.

EezySeven responds:

Hey, Thanks for the feedback!
I think your point about the change-ups could help me greatly when I attempt this genre again.

I feel like this isn't a bad start to something more exciting. I realize it's only a kick and a short synth loop at the moment, but I can picture it turning into a decent progressive jam. Keep on learnin' dude.

Pingu responds:

Thanks a bundle! I’m hoping to work on something around 2:30-3:00 long with a better range.

Your doing pretty good here. Everything sounds pretty basic. The dubstep style synths sound like presets, and overall the mix feels a little flat. (This makes me think you're just starting out in music production.)

On a positive note: the overall progression of the song and the melodies within, are both well done. Once you get more familiar with producing, I think you'd be able to make some pretty decent tracks. Keep at it man.

Zeromexalpha responds:

Ayyy, thx man. Yeah, i just started producing a month ago and I'm pretty bad lol

This isn't too bad. The background riff is pretty decent, but the song feels kind of bland overall. That lead/melody around 0:35 feel especially lacking. Your drums also feel really flat.

I think the idea here is pretty solid, but the execution needs a little work. Sharpen your production skills and you'll be making great jams in no time.

thank you for the feed back, I'm still very new to this sort of thing. I appreciate the listen!

I like the melodic progression of this track. It just feels right. It's a decent jam, and the overall volume of everything feels about right, but it lacks real "oomph".

Past the intro the synths feel kind of busy in the upper mids. That washy noise sound doesn't help with this over populated feel. the slower section in the middle seems to lack really presence. The bass feels especially unpronounced.

Overall, I think the composition is alright. The sound choice and mixing need some work to really bring this track to it's full potential though.

VorticityMusic responds:

Yeah I knew I should've removed that washy sound. I admit the start part is kinda weird with those leads but my favourite is when the washy thing ends around 2:08. Your totally right about bass though, but tbh bass in Auxy is absolute crap*. Sadly, using very little or next to none isn't a workaround xD

*Well, its not great, but you can do some good things with it

Something about the first pattern really piques my interest. In comparison with the rest of the song, everything else falls flat.

Your synths all feel pretty good. You've got a bunch of different/interesting elements throughout the track, but they never really "wow" me. I feel like you were trying to make up for the tracks simple melodic structure by adding in all the different instruments and elements you have going on here.

You took a break from the main pattern around 1:27, and at 2:02 ish, but neither the new piano pattern or the synth bit really felt like an exciting change. Even as the track builds to the final section, it feels a little too busy, and doesn't seem to grab me like the intro bit did.

I realize this sounds fairly negative, but I can't complain too much. Your track is certainly not bad, though I feel let down after the first 19 or so seconds. The feeling the intro gives me... With the piano stabs, the subtle change in the bass pattern (when it does the double stabs, on the third bar of each loop), the slow rise with the filter on the bass, the little drum fill thing before it loops. It's hard to explain.. but man, that's damn near flawless in my mind.

Overall I think your intro is a sweet hook, but the pattern gets over used. The track lacks noticeable variation, and seems to be a little lengthy for the amount of substance that's available. I can't complain about the mixing or mastering. The sounds themselves all feel good, and are relatively loud. This track was reasonably well made, but, other than the intro, failed to excite me. Keeps making music dude. If you can get me this excited off of a single loop, I'll gladly stick around for your other tracks.

VorticityMusic responds:

:) Will do!

Wow, I don't really know what to say. You did an excellent job on this. I can't really come up with any faults. The melody work is pretty darn good, the overall progression keeps the song interesting, and that ominous bass is so interesting! (It never really comes into focus, it's kinda lurking behind the rest of the track. What exactly is it?)

The very first intro melody is my least favourite, something about it seems a little off, but the rest of the track completely overshadows that minor flaw. (I especially like the first lead square melody around 0:40)
Those panned chip things around 1:20 are also pretty cool. I like whatever sort of rhythm they have going there. Also, just following that section, I really like your use of the glissando slide/roll things things.

Overall, I'm quite impressed. Very well done.

Zechnition responds:

Thanks for your review! ♡ When I made the track I could sort of tell that the main melody was pretty good, great to know I was right. :D Also the "ominous bass" is a combination of a violin sample and an ~75% pulse wave synth, dipping in and out of the synth at times.

This is an interesting ambient piece. It's less ambient than what I'd consider ambient, but it's certainly not bad.
Overall your progression is decent, it was a little tiring to me, but it's certainly not bad. Well done here.

I have to give a recommendation though, avoid using the FL default samples. The basic kick/clap are very distinct, and most people who use the software can easily tell if you put effort into selecting appropriate samples to fit the track. (It also gets slightly tiring to hear them all the time.)

Keep on making music man!

Overall this was pretty enjoyable. I like the light and happy feel, and that lead synth is pretty nice. However the track feels a little bit bland. I feel a few more elements could be thrown in to make things more interesting. Also, I think a more uptempo section would be fantastic in this.

I quite like what you have here, I just think it could be taken a smidge further. Well done.

Overall, I found this pretty enjoyable, but I feel it could use a section with a little more energy. The progression of the track is nice, and all of the melodic content feels right. The clipping is SUPER annoying though. Either you have effects going on after your limiter (such as an EQ), or there's a plugin that's trimming the peaks at 0db. Keep up the good work.

I make somewhat decent music on a somewhat regular basis. I use FL and a bunch of VSTs/Soundfonts I've collected over the last few years. I'm not the best at composing, or arranging, or mixing,or mastering. I like to consider my tracks to be "jammy".
