Im curious what makes a genre.. a genre..

what makes this Swedish house mafia style?

 

2 times the very same melody... and it's not that near to SHM. Sorry!

 

My opinion is ... great ass in your avatar

 

Actually kinda hard for me to put SHM on a specific style too... especially one you would be able to copy. Why ever someone would want that...
They have a lot of influences, which they put into their House music frame. I don't say that it`s necessarily desirable , but it`s a good sounding and very successful mixture. So I guess it`s ok to take them as a reference for your tracks.

Now to your track. I think the mix quality is fine, as it was in your previous posts, too. Little tweaking here and there, but good sound overall.
I think you can put some more work in your sound design and your transitions. You should look over your side chain compression...especially before the drums hit. Its a little forced to pump imo. But could be the desired effect for you.
Some changing melody parts would do some good and especially a change in the main lead sound. Layering and sound tweaking should lead you to something more special here.
The wobble fill is overused and not very well placed in my opinion. I think you`re able to find something better in between when you got the exact sounds you want for your main parts.
Drums are pretty good and mixed in pretty well.
Lots of stuff I criticized, that would change the whole structure of the song and it`s sound. So, sure...you have to do what you think sounds best for you. I just don't think it`s a very interesting track (sound and arrangement wise) so far.
You`re definitely on the right way, but I think you have to try to get a little more creative and put in some of your ideas to change it up, instead of comparing to other artists too closely and loose your goal on the way.

But keep it up and try to work on this track and tweak it until you`re really happy with it.


Oh yeah...and by the way...+1 on the ass!

 

Does sound a bit SHM in my opinion, especially the main synth at the start.

That being said it does need that extra 'something'. I think up the tempo a few BPM. Its pretty good but it just feels like theres something missing

Good job considering youre only producing a couple of months and that its a WIP.

@Towa22 THIS is how to give good feedback in this section of the board. Kudos to you. Nothing worse than putting a track up for feedback only for someone to say "Nice track, bro"

I dont care if someone rips my shit apart, in the end it only helps me progress

 

ok, the ass is nice..+1 *yes*

 

Thanks alot for your feedback, as I said i'm only been producing for 2-3 months rlly or just 1 month with equipment before that only headphones and no midi keyboard or soundcard. I also think it might duck to much in the beginning, should fix that and should maybe take in another sound so its not getting so much the same.. I'll see what i can do, i just put up it for comments/feedback so i know what i should work on and it helps me much to get those comments, thanks to all of you.

Kind regards,

great ass, but also great tune ;-)

 

The same patches would be my guess is what makes it a "SHM" tune..

 

you're a very young guy and make music für just a few month... you're really good in mixing your tracks.
what you need now is your own style/identity or kinda 'individual approach'..

i'm convinced that you will become a really good house/electro musician after a few months, music tutorials and tweaking sessions. (maybe you should use a wider range of influences or inspiration sources to create something own.)

but you should avoid to ask for opinions after every single turning of a knob. *no*
