Tetrasect Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hi guys, I've been messing around with Cubase for a few years now (mostly just making loops) and decided it's time to get a bit more serious and start making an actual track. Been working on this for the past few days so its only like two and a half minutes long, but I need some proper criticism before I continue. I want to make this track as good as I possibly can so please let me know (as specific as possible) things that you dislike, things you would add or remove, instruments that are too loud or too soft, changes you would make to the structure, are there too little or too many sounds, too repetitive or not repetitive enough, what would you do for the next part, etc. etc. I can't ask my friends cause they'll say anything sounds awesome even if I show them some garbage that I made in 2 minutes. Thanks for the help guys, looking forward to your comments. Here's the Track (I maximized the main channel at a threshold of -3db): http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/1/23/2280954/Drugs.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insejn Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 That sounds not bad at all. Some SA-psy feeling to it. Good job! The only bad thing I can think of is the stupid/annoying/boring drug sample in the beginning. My tip is that you remove it and find something completely different.

supergroover Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I agree on the drugsamples.. but why not finish the track? Than we have loads more to comment on. 2 minutes is really not alot and doesnt say much at all what direction the track is heading towards.

Veracohr Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 The only bad thing I can think of is the stupid/annoying/boring drug sample in the beginning. I agree on the drugsamples.. I concur. It's not really a style I like, but it sounds pretty good for what it is. I like melodies, so I say get some melody in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetrasect Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Thanks for the input guys! Funny thing is that the voice sample was actually what inspired the creation of the track in the first place, but I agree it's totally cliche and has been done to death. Will hunt for something better. Otherwise, its good to know I'm on the right track (lol). Will do some more work on it, maybe incorporate some melody, and I'll post an update as soon as I finish the next segment. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzman Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 really good job! Now you just need to finish it Remember to put some changes into your bassline and percussion, I know it's a lot of boring work, but it will make a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
