Thank You Your Feedback is greatly appreciated!!

 

Honest Feedback??

Here goes then (for what I get to listen to)

Track one:
I found really repetitive and found myself getting bored of it. The main difference was about half way in you added a off beat Hihat.
Then cut out most of the track near the end. But it kept doing the same thing all the way though.
I generally don't know much about this type of music though but, that was my point of view =)

Track two:
Still pretty repetitive but definitely more varied in terms of structure. I could imagine this quite well as am ambient styled track in a GTA game. The click is a little two loud for me though when it comes in.
from the click section to the last 30 seconds it repeats itself a lot. Very ambient but not very exciting to listen to on its own im afraid. Id suggest adding some melodies on top, and cutting down the size of sections.

But this is just my opinion I'm afraid. I too have the same problem quite often of me repeating stuff too often.
I really think you need to watch out for it though.
Again I don't know much about this style of music I'm mainly metal and/or orchestral-cinematic(general film score stuff).

Keep it up though! Im sure someone else will pitch in who is more knowledgeable in this area than me.

May I ask how you wrote this?

 

First Track:



Slap some flange on some parts
Pan what i think are congas hard left & Right with varying velocities(this add a moving body feel)
Bass is grooving but maybe touch more punch on the drums
Slap some delay & verb on that windchime @1.40
Grab a Nice Vocal Stab and this would be rocking IMO

 

We wrote this EP in Magix Music Maker 2013 version i think to be honest we used it because of the fact that my other half cant and will not use anything eles hahaha but thank you for you feedback

 

Ohh right haha xD

I just reread my post, it sounds alot more dull/judgemental and cold than it was meant to! I was half asleep man, sorry if it came across harsh xD

Overall yeah I quite enjoyed it, certain parts need more mixing(Like Kontakt Guru suggested). Also some level adjustments, mainly for track 2.
And for me to be able to listen to it for pleasures sake, I need more variation in it. But it could accompany a game/film quite well =)
