I normally never post tracks online because I simply don't think they're good enough. This time, I've lowered my threshold and am curious to hear what people have to say, for example, if it's worth investing in software or plugins. I'm not a mixing or mastering engineer. I want an honest review of everything, for example, the sounds I use, arrangements, etc. I'm uploading five tracks I've made in the past three months. I have more, but for now, I just want feedback on what's good and what's not, so I can focus on the things that aren't. I uploaded them to my Google Drive.

And yes I used Some copyrighted stuff like acapellas and one mean lead of a famous song so don't bother me with that, I built the rest around it myself and I just want an honest opinion that's it

 

Not my cup of tea, but the balance between elements is good overall, there's nothing inherently wrong imho except the first two tracks where the snare/clap are too tinny for the tracks, maybe you removed too much lowend from the samples.

I don't like the clap panned to the right in the first track: mono centered or stereo but balanced from L to R.

Voice in the second track could have some more low frequencies too and slightly more volume overall just to make it more present. The same goes for vocals in the other tracks.

Last thing I don't particularly like is the kick sample in the first track, I'd swap it for another one.

Just my 2c!

 

I like the first one the most, but that is a genre thing. The first and fifth are the better ones, for me. In a couple of them, there are a few spots where it sounds static and starts to get repetitive, but not for long. Like if you cut 16 bars out, it would be fine. I hate hardstyle for the most part, so I skipped that one. I didn't like much about the second one, but particularly the chord progression that starts around 40 seconds. You probably want them this way, but I think your kick might be a little heavy on the click. The second one sounds like some sort of Pitbull track, or something. Shazam that one and it will probably figure it out. It sounds ok, but it sounds like that kind of track. You probably want it that way.

oh, I'm not too into the vocal sample on Push the Tempo intro. It is already repetitive in that spot. You could maybe chop it more, alternae it, or put it later probably. But as it stands it is just there until it is out of the mix; kind of leaving me questioning why it is there.

They are definitely good enough to post. They sound good, but maybe need a little tweak here and there.

 

The more you do the better you'll get as long as you can learn from your mistakes, be more discerning, stop asking for approval, a lot of people will give advice who aren't up to your standard, perhaps you could tell them summink eh.

They're ideas, very good ones at that, so improve, music isn't subjective, you need to recognise what is bad as well as what is good, great even, settle on a genre, Tech House is most popular and it gives you more scope for Afro, techno etc.

As a beginner it's fair to query your ability so that is encouraging for your progress.

Learn the difference between a Club mix und a single, i only do EPs single und extended club mixes, at first stick wiv singles til sussed, cos they're shorter, easier to get the gist of, then try a club mix, finnish them, FINNISH THEM, start plenty but finnish songs as well, you'll never be able to master and you will become an engineer as you work, let others, pro mixers mix your stems, take care, be good und keep at it.

 

All the rest sounds very polished I would say it sounds like a template the elements of the track sounds like it, in a good way of course

track 4: is nice, sounds very peak time techno and not very repetitive i like the filter moves, the mix is normal here just like a Charlotte de witte track.

track 5: These days producers are not using this "Umek" kind of super strong kickdrum, i would suggest you to make it more softer, also I think it sounds a little bit like 90s techno on terms of synth selection.

but yeah, in my opinion you should focus on making these techno tracks because they sound better than the other stuff
