RE: SML Music Producers Feedback Contest Round 1 - Submit Your Tracks!

in #smlchallenge7 years ago

Woah. Just woah. First thing to note is I have never witnessed such a varied set of melodies through just one track and yet not be too overpowering. The ambient synths are incredibly relaxing and thought-provoking, even the little more jarring one that's used at the end of some of the bars. The reverb-drenched drums are incredible especially the patterns at the very end of the track. The kick is soft but manages to keep the beat incredibly original with frequent off hits. The bassy hits around the 1m 30s marks are so low and properly stimulate your ears. All the little details are so frequent and even with a variance of one-shots you manage to pull it off without it sounding like the track is shrouded with random sounds. I don't wanna go over every single synth cause there is honestly something nice to say about every one of them and I don't have time to write a book in the comment section ;)

I have a few things to criticize on but they're just little things. The bass is a good volume and follows a good melody underneath the synths but I feel its just a little too jarring, grainy and slightly too detuned. The drum pattern is amazing but I feel the snare could have a little bit more edge to it, at least be a little bit louder. And the most personal criticism is that i want that drum pattern at the end to be in the track more. That had me grooving like never before.

Hope the feedback helps and can't wait to see what you make next ^^

Thanks for the detailed feedback and the positivity @poorkidbeats! So good to hear that the track is appreciated :) I'll definitely take the criticism on board...it's always good to hear things that can still be improved. That hopefully makes me a better producer at the end of the day! I've actually considered creating a full track version of the uptempo bit at the end, but haven't gotten around to it as yet... ;)
