Please check out my new track 'Deep Down (unsure what to name it)' and post your comments here!!!

Comments? I wanted a hardish edge on this track. Still needs loads of work.

Hey

quite a nice groove in the intro, vocals alright although not sure its cut right? the "love" seems to leap in a bit.

Feels out of key too when the tune kicks back in

Not bad but all of the parts need to gel together a bit better

hello mate Smile i think the initial idea is good, but for some reason on some of the parts (my opinion) the melodies may need a bit of work as Binary Havoc says needs to "gel" more.

still feeling the groove and i like some of the synths - sound a bit like some of high contras - style stuff.

i'd say theres a slight jazz vibe on this one - definately going in the right direction tho! Wink

i see why you have trouble naming this. so many tracks that obviously sound like tihs have taken all the obvious names. i mean you could still call it Morning Sunrise. or something like that. average track with ABOVE AVERAGE NAME!

heck call it To Name It

Not bad, but like you said, it still needs work. Deffo agree with Binary and Ketz. This is quite old skool sounding. It's got a nice vibe to it. But yeah, them jazzy rhodes are sounding off-key and spoiling the tune for me. It's hard to get into a tune when the elements aren't geling together properly. Breaks are ok but something more original would be nice.

hey , yeah nice elements to the track , likin the sound , i think the drop soundz like a second phase of a track , if know what i mean , i think that the rhodes and bass should be a little less high pitched 4 the first drop , maybe a different combo , but like the track , drums need some beefing up !!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the crit. and for the ideas, they helped, a bunch. I completely reworked the intro, the drums are a bit more beefy. I messed with the vocals, did a bit of chopping. The drums still need a lot of work on the patterns and change ups. The synth that follows the buildup is needing some major work as well.

When I get it worked out some more, I'll post the better version. Pleased

I fancy the jazzy vibe. Agree with the other’s that the rhodes needs some tweaking. You could try putting the whole melody an octave deeper and create a nice lead with the rhodes that includes some pitch bending and nice other shizzle. Would be hard to do but could work in parts…just a thought.

Not too unique as a tune but perfect stuff to chill to.

Like it so far, maybe think about a beat solo incorporating another break mixing in and out half way through( just an idea, could fill out a good minute,then try bringing some bass on top of that, then your melodies back again).P.S. sorry if that sounds patronizing.
