Here is my latest track I spent a day and a half on it and I think the result is quite good, but opinions differ so listen to the track and tell me what you think.

 

It's alright, a tad one dimensional, the structure is good, but needs to be improved, 7mins is too long, 3 mins no more than 4,

Bass is on the money, the synth chords dont suit the track, just build it with the bass kick snare und hat, will sound well solid and should prick up your ears, start wiv bass then kick or hat, then hat or kick, then snare, drop kick or snare, drop all drums out, now support the bass wiv other stuff, drop da bass, bring drums in gradually, drop other stuff say last 4 bars or less, bring in bassline ad fin. Get some vox packs, add a some more samples.

You're capable but basic, need to define your sound, go for tech house as its most popular plus you will learn to cross over into other house genres.

Just need to improve the production and be more discernig and dont be too pleased with yourself, until you crack it, you're more than capable, but there is room for improvement, all down to you to find it, good luck man.

 

I don't mind a long track. These days, tracks are way too short if you were going for a radio edit 3:30 minutes at best. But if you're going for the extended version, I'd leave it a bit longer. I prefer the old arrangements, not all those fake drops and nonsense. And as for tech house, I've never tried it. I produce multiple styles, but not tech house yet. I'm usually more into the harder styles, but I don't feel like investing more time in it.
I thought that track was going pretty well, but your comment just shows it's not good. Maybe I'm not experienced enough. Maybe I shouldn't post anything anymore and keep it to myself. Hardly anyone comments anyway. Maybe I'll just take a break for a while. I've been working on too many projects lately. Anyway, thanks for your comment. At least someone is critical and listening.

You know what? It seems like I'm just wasting my time. Maybe I should find a different hobby. Cheers!

 

@MindCtrlDel, you've got talent, don't give it up again, take some time off and clear your head.

Leave everything as it is and rest, you're just having one of your bad days.
What you need is more self-confidence, not likes or dislikes.

It's not a waste of time, what you're doing is much more meaningful than you think, music is also self-healing.
It's not just a hobby, making music is a way of life.

Young people often have the problem that if something doesn't work out right away, they sometimes give up immediately.
So you should try at least three times.

 

The best advice really is, don't post tracks for feedback because rarely it will be what you actually want to hear.

Everyone's got a good idea of how they would have done the track differently, or what you should have done, but at the end of the day, it's your track, it's your creative process/journey, changing it just because you think someone else knows better than you is kind of pointless, and not really self serving.

So, if you're happy with something, post it, don't necessarily ask for feedback on it, cos it's in most cases with total strangers on a basically anonymous forum, unlikely to be completely positive, and whether that puts you off or not is only down to the thickness of your skin. By the tone of your last sentence in your last post it would seem that you are disheartened slightly, which I'm sure has defeated the purpose of your post.

I never ask for feedback anymore because, I've been doing the shit for 20 years +, and as well as probably having heard it all before I'm sure I don't give a shit about people's opinions on my music anymore

Anyway, keep it up, it sounds aight

I dig it, gives me some nice Perry O'Neil - Myst vibes, kinda stuff you would find on various Global Underground compilations.

 

Great song, nice rich bass, relaxed tempo. Where's your YouTube channel? Come up with a catchy artist name.

 

I don't have a YouTube, SoundCloud, or social media account. I don't care for them. I prefer to remain anonymous, but I do appreciate it when someone appreciates my tracks, even if they're not top-notch. I've let my friends listen to them, and they all say it's a good track, just a bit too long. I made another hard techno track today, but I'm not sure when I'll post it.

 

It's a shame that you're keeping your music from the rest of the world.
Of course, I respect your decision and wish you all the best on your journey through life.

 

Yes, don't worry about @L-D's criticism! He was just giving advice to make the track into something HE'D like, which seems to be something that follows rules rather than something creative and personal. While it's not a style of music I listen to much, I liked it!
