Hi, ive been studying Music production in Sweden and been making music for 5 years, i am very introvert so i dont spread my music, i feel like i want some feedback cus i have made 30 tracks or so and my soundcloud is full, the newer material is ofc better, please give me some feedback and listen if you want to.

Happy Holidays

 

Some of the tracks are nicely mixed and translate very well, i´d say you´re doing good no matter the introversion, i know how it is. I´m sure you could get signed with a couple of them.

The track "Jumper" - @ 1:40 there is a rasping bass that fades away in the background, is that a sample or did you used some synth for it?

 

im gonna go back to the project and look

 

It is serum that goes 64 notes then slows down to 16 but you cant hear the 64 ones because filter is precisely opening up on them, so it sounds little wierd, its one of the lead synths, starts from beginning, also there is fx on like reverbs and delays. i have a group in ableton in the channel sending it to delay and reverbs in the channel, after all that is an autofilter which is opening up and closing creating that sound

 

thnx man, but im gonna practise alot more. But i do music daily so its nice to get feedback cus i dont share it on social media etc

 

Hey man, just randomly listened to some of your tracks. Soundwise (mixing) I would say you are on point, if you like to get some criticism/suggestions I would tell you to work on your synth sounds. Seems you are working with a lot of samples/presets and that usually make the track a bit bland.

Also you could work on the arrangement side.

But in general I find your production pretty good on the sound side.

 

Let's hope that 5 years will turn into at least 50.

5 years of professional experience, but practice makes perfect and theoretically you develop yourself and your music further.

As you certainly know, people have infinite creativity but a finite life. The older you get, the more you think about preserving something for posterity. So the question comes up every now and then what will remain of my music after I die.

SoundCloud is full, go to YouTube or burn a few CDROMS or USB sticks. I don't know how much time you have every day and how old you are. Experience shows that people start to age from 30 to 33, but as pensioners they are less productive but have more time.

They can also get together with filmmakers and make film music. Or get in touch with DJs and discotheques so that they have the motivation to remain creative. We already talked about how human singing would be a good fit and they jumped on it straight away. I thought it was great that they are expanding their work.

Nothing is as bad as hearing the same thing, thinking the same thing, reading the same thing.
You need inspiration and you have to love what you do.

Colony 5 is a Swedish future pop/synth pop band that was founded in 1999. At first the band was more focused on quiet synth pop, but then took a harder approach and today is more in the future pop genre. Founding member Magnus Löfdahl left the band in 2001, and since then the band has only performed as a duo. In 2006 the band won the “Best Song” category at the Scandinavian Alternative Music Awards with the single Plastic World.

Thnx yeah i use nexus, im still learning primarily omnisphere and now Mariana Moog. I use presets alot in nexus finding something that fills the spot you know, i really need to practise synthesizers i know enough but i need that extra, aha go to sound done in 10 sec etc,

No samples more than drums, some samples yes, but mostly you hear bounced effects, i use a permut 8 say on something and then bounce the sound make my own samples,

Id say i use 2-3 samples per song, i never use packs its just useless, good drum samples is gold, thats is all one need and then work with synths and effects ALOT finding unique sounds

 

I am 38, so im getting older !! but for me making music is just what i do now, i dont really aim at being famous but i would like to get pro tracks and an profile "artist profile" on spotify etc. See what happens :D

 

and listeners, so i need to keep making tracks, 5 more years then i think i will be really good

 

If you need kicks, this is the thing

I think you have a certain talent for enriching the world with a slightly different sound.
I even think that as a Swede you have certain melodies or harmonies in your blood.

Becoming famous is something for the music industry so that the labels get richer.
They specifically seek out talents that they develop and market, it's not as great a life as you think.

Build your artist career, good idea, only quality prevails in the long term, i.e. timeless music.

 

Cool hoodie ! Sounds very much like Bobo indeed. After maybe 10y we wanted to see him live with my cousin we finally managed last year at BXL. Was very cool !!
Keep it up

 

I think it does not matter how old are you, if you make stuff that slaps, it is all that matters. Some of the guys are well in their 50s and they put out bangers still. Just be you bro

'Redux a chorus' slaps on a phone speaker btw
