zoix Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 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? https://soundcloud.com/zoixx/old-house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 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' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auditor Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoix Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Thanks guys! I'll have to look at the length arrangement wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 i still think the idm petrified forest analogy is best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooliofranco Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 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.
