Hey guys! I´ve made two songs, 1 dnb and 1 dubstep. I start making elektronic music 2months ago and just want some feedback ty, MrOptimism - Easy Listening http://soundcloud.com/mroptimism/easy-listening MrOptimism - Shut The Fuck Up http://soundcloud.com/mroptimism/shut-the-fuck-up
Hey, these two songs are actually not very unique and get a little boring. The sounds are pretty flat and the mix isn't very clean in both of them. To the first, as kinda D&B minimal song, you need to work on the mix and individual sounds. Theres actually nothing that grabs my attention... The sound effects doesn't sound right in the mix as well. Mostly a sound design and mix issue. To the second one: THe bass is all over the place and its not mixed very well over all. The sound at 1:20 is interesting and I think you can work with that one. You need breakdowns and some flow in the arrangement! All those things are basically an issue of experience and experimenting. And learning a lot about mixing! Watch as much tutorials as you can and keep on producing. Try to give a mix more time and work! Two of those in two month, when you just started is just too fast. They are not finished and you should probably see them as tracks to learn on! Don't try to finish whole arrangements with preset sounds and without mixing them properly. Try to make an 8 bar loop or something and just make it as good sounding as you can. With individual sounds and some life. Just try to test everything you`ll learn on this loop and keep whats working the best. Like this you are able learn a whole lot and you will have a good sounding 8 bar loop in the end you can build you arrangement on. What kind of software, or gear do you have?
Ich schreibe mal auf deutsch, ich glaube du verstehst das. Erstmal vielen vielen dank für deine Kritik. Ich werde deine tipps bearbeiten und bin auch schon dabei den Dubstep Track auszubauen, nach öffterem hören sind mir immer mehr sachen aufgefallen die mir selbst eigentlich nicht gefallen, viele davon hast du genannt. Ich benutze Ableton 8. Für die Tracks habe ich Battery, Massive, Absynth und Ohmforce benutzt. An Hardware habe ich ein Behringer UMX250 und das dazugehörige interface.
Klingt doch nach ner guten Grundlage. Gut, wie du Kritik aufnimmst und das du an den Tracks weiterarbeitest. Zum mixen in Ableton und der Nutzung von Native Instruments Zeugs kann ich nur die MacProVideo Klamotten und die YouTube Tutorials von DJVespers und Ryan Enzed (nzmusic101) empfehlen! Wenn du Drum Racks in Ableton für dich entdeckst, wirst du Battery vermutlich nur noch für Sound Design nutzen...wenn überhaupt... Da gibt's ein Paar gute Sachen von Vespers, die dich auch im Mixing nach vorn bringen sollten, wenn du dir die richtigen Dinge abschaust!
Song 1 sounds like you forgot to turn on your other tracks. Basically, it has no melody. Try adding some a couple new sounds and re-posting
