tech acid style free download also any feedback welcome!

Deffo like the quirkiness on this one. Samples are great and the track is produced very cleanly. The 303 is brought in very smoothly and it's all quite bouncy.

Nice.

I like the melody on this one Keith. It's the kind of track i like to hear when i walk into a club. It grooves nicely and isn't lost in complication. I do agree with the hats issue. They do sound mechanically flat. Something lighter perhaps.

I have that problem with patterns meself. I use Battery and don't spend enough time thinking about changing up the sounds.

This comes with an "Ambient" warning. Not sure if there's a market for it around these parts :-)

Recorded yesterday, It's a tad long and a little linear perhaps, and i will probably revisit it with a view to remixing.
It's my attempt at some musical ****, as some like to call it. If you've fallen asleep a quarter of the way through....job's oxo.

Had a listen last night and I like it. Lovely lush pads and some nice swirly effects. Good vocal sample too. Maybe the main pad could be dropped out every now and then. I wonder would the little four note melody be better of going up the scale rather than down?

Its long but kept my interest throughout. Very nice chilled song, stick some trippy samples in there and it could pass as a Mixmaster Morris track from back in the day. Nice work Paul

I wanted it to be very melodic and have two separate melodies on each drop but sound similar to each other, I'm trying to get as creative as possible especially in the area of music i make such as hardstyle and hard-trance:

Hi Folks,

Here's a couple of tracks I've been working on the past while with another lad. Would love to hear what you think!

I loved the start of this with the 303 riff and big kick. The effected vocal didn't add anything for me and it's too low in the mix. I was surprised when the track changed directions and morphed into a more piano driven house style. I'd rather you continued the acid style :-)

https://soundcloud.com/live1052/deafector-mass-delusion

The vocal chorus works well here and reminded me a bit of Underworld in their mid career.
Levels tend to jump drastically at times. I think the overall Eq could be tweaked just to seperate the mids and highs a bit.

Your tracks always sound well to be fair. I'd probably prefer the second drop but I think you need to reduce the levels of the main synth a tad. Not sure if you have a limiter on it but there seems to be subtle volume ducks througout that are a bit off-putting (Soundcloud can do that itself too though).
I think it might be an idea to layer the piano melody with the big synth one every now and then as well which would again add a bit of interest.

Have the same thing to say about both these tracks. They're both great, I especially love Subtle Effect. But the same problem persists in both, the vocals are lost in the mix. Try some EQ to bring them out a bit more, or simply just up the levels a bit.

Thanks for the feedback! I will take it on board and spend a bit more time on the mix so! I think I'll have to invest in proper mastering anyway.

For the acid fans, here's one I made on the fly myself...

This was literally just my electribe EMX1 with the x0xb0x run through a distortion pedal and was recorded in one take.

Lovely main synth melody. Put me in mind of some good early 2000s trance. Obviously the electro percussion keeps it in that vein but there's an interesting balance there. Production sounds tight.

The sound of disco and funk was heard all over Dublin on Saturday night after the result came in, so here's a disco-house record I made.

Excellent track Paul, you are jumping in and out of genres recently and pulling it off.

I really like that bassline and think it should be a bit more prominent in the mix maybe

Beautifully epic. Has that Hardfloor groove and Wink-esque distortion. Only
negative for me is the open hat, a bit too splashy. Otherwise I'm hooked :-)

Definitely got the funk down. Some lovely filter work and nice arrangement. Good use of the vocal well. Nice summer vibe. I wonder is the kick slightly overcooked though?

Thanks! Yeah I just noticed that the melody is eating up the kick a bit... I don't really use limiters because it takes a chunk of the kick away leaving most of the punch gone, but ill try solve the volume ducks! thanks

Nice track. Good melody and the arpeggiation works well underneath. Pronounced bassline and sharp analogue style perc.
The kick seems to have different length reverb every second hit which is a bit odd sounding (to me anyway). Also the kick is perhaps lacking a bit in the midrange.
Overall a very pleasant summertime vibe. :-)

Thanks for the feedback man.
Do you think It would sound better if the kicks were the same length? I always try and make something a bit weird/odd in a track, maybe it's a good thing that you noticed it :pac:

I'd rather it but that's just my personal preference.

Firstly, thanks for also putting up the original for comparison.

I prefer yours by miles. Sounds better production wise, way more interesting to listen to, and synths much fuller.

Ravenholm

thanks Mordeith.

I do still really like the melancholy feel of the original song but I did want to change it up a bit in the remix.

No link?

EDIT: I found it on Soundcloud.

The start of the track is pretty decent although the deep pad that comes in is a little bit lost in terms of mixing and eq. The breakdown again starts of good by at 52 there is a significant volume drop in the main melody that is too severe. The filter or eq applied is also too extreme and it all sounds a bit reedy. At the drop at 1.30 the sound doesn't come back sharp enough. You can hear everything being turned back on. Should be a straight cut. At 2.02 you have brought in a horn sound which doesn't fit in well IMO. Sounds out of tune with that plucked melody. Arrangement is pretty good overall but I think you need to work on sharpening your atomation processes and clearing up some eq.

PS. I was unable to locate the original mix for a fuller comparison

New remix, straight up house with a bit of garage and r&b on the sides. Focusing more on percussion than synths on this one. https://soundcloud.com/scoob89/lauryn-hill-doo-wopscoobz-remix

Great vocal work at the beginning of the track.
I'm not mad on the rap section but that's nothing to do with the underlying beats. In terms of the percussion it's very well implemented. Some good balance control gives space to the different hits and there's some cool filtered risers and pitch work on fills that sounds great. Nice choice in the variety of perc used as well.
I think the vocal in general is a tad too high in the mix perhaps.
