Smokin Speaks 13 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I was going to suggest getting away from the Rhodes Piano samples, but then the poppy arp came in and I was a fan. The wormy synths underneath are there and fill nicely, but are not in line with the chords on the electric piano, so I would revisit. I bet it could sound better. I sounds fine as is, but could be better I think. Or it might make it worse, who knows! lol. Music is toiugh and that the art, am I right?! Link to post Share on other sites
snack master 217 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 this is still kinda rough in how fleshed out the overall ideas are and the arrangement in general, but i'm happy with a lot of what i have going on here, especially regarding the drum patterns Link to post Share on other sites

Some more variation in the bass synth would sound great. Things got nice at the end bit when things get a bit violent so that's great. On 1/28/2020 at 7:24 PM, snack master said: This sounds lovely.

Things got nice at the end bit when things get a bit violent so that's great. yeah, it'll likely end up getting refined further in the future for the final edit. i sometimes post stuff before it's completely done because it helps me kinda step out of the box for a little bit and hear the song with new ears (kinda like the other track). thanks for the feedback!

snack master 217 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 this is an update on the WIP i posted last week on the 28th (it's deleted now in favor of this version). i'm pretty happy with the stuff i've been able to create through some recent experimentation, so this is a sign of where i might go in the future as well.

sTeh B L 30 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Think you'd consider trying some more rhythmic variations at the beginning of "Aggression?" Maybe playing around with some sparse use of effected and/or reversed snares, high-hats, or cymbals? Link to post Share on other sites
snack master 217 Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 yeah, the first part could be developed a bit, i agree. here's another jam, this one's a kind of ambient techno sort of thing: 1 Link to post Share on other sites
snack master 217 Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) a little thing, likely will get refined in later edits: https://soundcloud.com/johnzn/that-one-time Edited March 3, 2020 by snack master Link to post Share on other sites
snack master 217 Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 been working on trying out some new ideas with bass tones / textures, and this is an early example of the outcome. i'm curious if y'all have any thoughts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

auxien 2869 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 damn, Aggression is an interesting track. good thick meaty sound to it, and i really enjoyed the cut a minute or so in to the much lighter section. i felt that section did need a bit more happening, after a few bars it really starts to lose some energy, maybe some more happening rhythmically? the last half of the track when it's sorta full-on felt like it maybe needed some more changes too, some more build or direction? all that said, i think it's a really good start and as much time as you're spending perfecting these tracks i'm sure it'll end up being killer front to back. ? synths that come in about 1:20 in Bass Work really added a lot to the track imo... that dirty bass in that track is probably mixed a bit heavy/too much (knowing it's an 'early draft' version i'm sure you'd tweak the mix more later anyway!), at least for me on headphones. might work better in a club, i'm not big into DnB stuff so i wouldn't trust too much of my opinion there lol and so i can't add much comment on the other DnB type tracks. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

New here so feel free to ignore me but: Personally i'd lose the grimey bass for something meatier that kinda fits in the mix a bit better, programming is cool but the sound isn't right imo (and not something that needs tweaking). Also work on the mix of the breaks, layer them up and play with it a bit more. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
