vamos scorcho Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 electronic dance music album i'm working on. some tracks are straight hard dancefloor sweat techno and others are big beat, 90s style hip hop freaky shit. and there is a little bit of dubstep sprinkled in here and there. check it out. its not done - posting it here to see what works / what doesnt. http://www.mediafire.com/?kgym24tvyzx this is one track from it http://soundcloud.com/dodeiale/ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 That one track from it is too Youtube-Poopy, as Saibot might put it. Also needs more bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamos scorcho Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 what does youtube poopy mean? too much use of the limiter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I mean it sounds sort of like you have two things going at once in it - a song & a bunch of crazy chopped up noise samples. They aren't melded for me, unfortunately. Haven't heard the others yet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tontonz1 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Yea i would agree with cryptowen, the overall sound is too varied. the samples just don't compliment eachother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementia Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 What I get from this track and others like it, is the sense that I'm flipping through radio stations—Yes, you've confined all of this material to a tempo, but it's lacking continuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigs Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 What I get from this track and others like it, is the sense that I'm flipping through radio stations—Yes, you've confined all of this material to a tempo, but it's lacking continuity. yeah, i'm feeling this. seems like you've been getting into poppy stuff, vamos, so don't be afraid to be poppy! making this shit too esoteric and confusing is a huge turn off. the #1 rule of pop is that it must be catchy! nothing to hold on to here.

Guest hahathhat Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 i don't think it's necessarily that the samples don't mix, they're just a tad too blunt. need a soft touch -- sample comes in suddenly and loudly, the ear classes it away from the rest of the tune. it should kind of float in, riding on the coattails of other sounds. then it will be accepted as one of the tribe p.s. listening to the album now, v. nice so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
