track i am working on

Re: track i am working on

the beginning is sweet, i love the sounds, then the bass drum kicks in and it's OK, could use a bit more ommph, but that snare is the bad part of the track, it really sounds kinds thin and boring, you should try layering sounds together, like two to four bass drums along with two or more snares, it really helps the sound to become more full. Go get yourself a Computer Music Magazine or Future Music, as they will help your productions quite a bit.

It's a nice early groove song, kinda like something you'd like to hear early in the morning. I love the synth line in it too. Nice melody, it's good not to make your melody so complex that people can't remember it.

All in all, I give it a thumbs up.

Re: track i am working on

thanks jeff

glad you liked it

yea, the kick was just a simple 909 from a sampler ... and same with the snare.
so i didnt put much work into that... but that can always be changed.... thanks for the input

Re: track i am working on

Jeff hit it on the head, so I really have nothing to add... just wondering what you put it together in?

logic pro 7

Re: track i am working on

damn wish I had logic pro 7. I'm using ableton for my stuff right now. Perhaps one day I'll get logic for all those bad ass pulg-ins they have.

Re: track i am working on

hey, I listened to it too. I liked it. Some things I thought you could tweak a little bit, though. The main synth (the higher pitched one that sounded most like a flute) was a little bit boring, sonically. What I mean is, the sound of the instrument itself was kind of drab, and made the song sound 'thin' to me. Overall it sounded a bit to 'thin' if that even makes sense. I just felt there was a lot of range of sound you could have used up...

btw just my opinion I'm no expert! Keep up the good work, though, and write some more songs and post them here.

Re: track i am working on

now he didn't like that sound while I thought it was an interesting sound. just shows you that we all can't like the same stuff, and thank God for that one. Cause life would be really boring if we did.

i can see why you think that sound seems thin. on my monitors it sounds boss, but other places i listen after did not sound as good. i will keep on work on me tunes, thanks for the info guys...

and jeff i posted here so you guys would tell me EXCTALLY what to do to complete it

i will take all your comments into account and post an updated version. i just finished moving to boston, and will be starting a new job so... i may be a while before i can get to it
