Old House - house

[zoix]

Hi fellas,

This is a house track I've been working on, what do you think?

Some questions:
Does the piano sound fairly organic and not very quantized?
Is the main part interesting enough or should I add some more instruments?
Do you get tired of the strings towards the end of the track?

it's a little quantized, the clap/finger snap/whatever is either the best/worst sound and i don't even know. the 80's lots of reverb for noreason snare is cool too. it honestly reminds me of like selected ambient works i but taking place in a petrified forest. with this in mind it might actually hurt the track if you made it too 'organic'

The drums don't vary enough for me, but that's probably just personal preference. I thought the piano was fine, not too quantized. I'm a fan of sparseness in the right tracks, so I don't believe it's missing anything soundwise. As long as it makes you happy, u know? I would worry about the length. Idefinitely don't think it warrants being as long as it is. Overall, a nice little poppy tune that puts me at ease. Could use some cleaning up, just my 2cents

Thanks guys!

I'll have to look at the length arrangement wise.

i still think the idm petrified forest analogy is best

this works very well. i'd move the snaps/claps around on the grid and add some more variations so they sound organic- just a bit so it sounds living. i have Bbydhyonchord in mind as a model

Ok, so I'd probably start out by removing the ride and replace it by a simple electronic hihat of some sort.

The piano sounds a bit too random and the track is way too long. I do like the old school bass though.

 

So yeah, it definitely needs some more variation and maybe cut it down by like 3-4 minutes.
