I like this melody the most out of the few songs of yours that I listened to. I think this might be my favorite track of yours so far. I love the basses you use and how these tracks are mixed, granted I would recommend lowering the overall volume of your sounds as that'd help with mixing more clearly. I love that the chord progression isn't repetitive and the melody is probably the catchiest one yet. Extremely upbeat and uplifting. One thing I can't help but wish were in these tracks is a breakdown that has a very melodic tune which you use to transition to the next drop, incorporating it. Could even be the same melody with a different instrument. I'm going to be very honest, these tracks are awesome in the sense that they have almost all of the elements to be staple DnB tracks, but the only thing missing is variability. I too, have the same problem with my very own tracks. One of my goals is going to be to make my songs sectioned in 4 bar sequences, with unique patterns/FX/mods in each section. That will add that variability I'm talking about. I imagine that structure would lengthen production time 10 fold, but the outcome is absolutely exquisite. If you hear the DnB tracks being produced now, they stand out because of those quick unique changes or adds every 4 to 8 bars.

Very much like my own tracks, these tracks sound like they belong in the era of 5+ years ago. I hope this was constructive and not demeaning towards your music in any way. Keep up the awesome work!

I can't believe I missed this comment!! Sorry if I'm a bit late.
First of all, I would like to say thank you for listening to my tracks and taking the time to comment things that can or should be improved. I never really thought about adding a breakdown or bridge since my dumbass didn't think that it was necessary, although I do know now that it definitely is.

As for the variability, I definitely agree. Part of the reason I don't change much with my tracks is because I don't have the time to slowly upgrade it to a point that I am happy with. I also only have the free demo version of FL Studio, so saving and working later is impossible unless I save an a .wav or .mp3 file and bootleg my own tracks.

I also know exactly what you mean when you say that these tracks sound like they belong in a era of 5+ years ago. I do agree, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest since this type of music isn't what I like to actually spend time making. I prefer mixes of rock, punk rock or punk pop with drum and bass, as well as liquid and sometime heavy bassline drum and bass.

Thanks again for the feedback! I would like you to know that it has been 3 months since your comment, and I have been slowly improving and working to incorporate new sounds into my songs.
Currently, my brother is teaching me some guitar chords so eventually I can record that into my tunes, as well as focusing more on the drums and basslines. Another final reason why my tracks sound kind of trash is because I am using a cheap, 4 year old shitty laptop which has many things wrong with it. The sounds use up so much CPU and FL Studio starts to break, so I need to quickly round off the track with an ending and save it to avoid losing everything I have done. To me, it's better to have a saved, finished track that I am not completely happy with, which can show my progression rather than losing the whole lot in a couple of seconds.

Sorry for the rant. Thanks for the comment and the kind words! :)

Dude keep going. These are tracks I look for regularly. Good stuff.

RealLightningWeaver responds:

Thanks! :3

This embodies progressive minimal house in the most classic way. Way to go.

Hairmilked responds:

Thank you so much, it means a lot to hear that about a genre I've spent my life loving!

Very nice. I like the vocals and the bassline. Would be absolutely incredible if you
1. Mixed it so all the sounds are clearer
2. Layered a melodic string instrument with the track
3. Added variability to the vocals, like chopping them or giving them effects every 8 or 16 bars.

Just random suggestions that came to mind. Good stuff.

nSheyld responds:

Thank you for the kind words!

In terms of the suggestions:
• I tried mixing it, but the saws and the bass had some EQ issues I had no idea how to fix because I had no idea what I was doing at the time. It was my first time making a house track lol.

• This was definitely what was missing. I knew there was something but I had no idea what. Thank you!

• This is a great suggestion that definitely would've made the track better. But the vocals alone were already written for a full song with 2 choruses, a verse and a bridge type thing. I felt I should've left them aline aside from some extra post processing.

Regardless, thanks so much for these suggestions and taking the time to listen to this thing haha!

Incredible use of different pitched basses. I would love to hear these same sounds in a better mix to really get the full effect of each sound because with the right mixing this would definitely stand out. I'd say add a higher octave to the strings too or layer more, maybe some chords of some sort.

Mondsuechtig responds:

thanks a lot i really appreciate that.

Nasty reese in the first drop. I love it. Personal preference, but I would love to hear this bass with a more melodic tune or to expand on the section with the chopped vocals to make it more glitchy. It would suit the song well.

DetiousMusic responds:

Thanks!! And I did that with the A drop at 2:15 but not the B drop. I figured I'd let it breathe more in that section and let the vocals be the focal point, thanks for the critique! :)

Niceee

Funky and nice, needs more highs :P

Prodigal responds:

Thanks, i'll be sure to add more highs and extend this whole song when i'm finished it :D

Wow

Amazing tune you have here. Love the bass and the chord progression. Nice percussion as well. Nice stutatatatatatatatatatatering btw :P

Sirdangolot5 responds:

Thanks bro! :D

Haha

Pretty fun song, Lovin the bass and melody :)

Rig responds:

Thanks for the feedback!

About the reese.

I would say, make the bass a little less raw, more filtered, but louder :). I love the chords, as they are quite catchy, and fun. Obviously, the first thing you're going to do though, is fix that percussion line. I don't understand why you even put that in there :P

Make it longer somehow. There, do those things and it'll be awesome.
