Please check out my new track 'Computer Funk' and post your comments here!

Hey guys! It's been forever since I've been around here, mostly because I've been producing electro.

The other day I was inspired to work on some drum and bass and this is where the track is at right now. Definitely an electro-step style track. I did the vocals myself (the lyrics just popped into my head while I was working on it and I didn't have anybody else to do them).

I could use some suggestions on the mixdown... there's something a little off about it that I can't quite nail down.

Here are the lyrics:

"I like you and you like me,
Why can't you just let it be,
I want my junk in your trunk,
let's go make computer funk.

Why do you play hard to get,
I know you really liked my set,
I got this bottle let's get drunk,
then we'll make computer funk"

Great track. I like that retro sound. The chords and the vocals are great!

Tbh, I'd say this would work much better as a four to the floor electro-breaks tune, I like the vibe, really 80's and the vocoder is a nice touch. Drums are really a little thin, especially the snare. The sub could be more prominent aswell.. Aargh actually , I dunno, might take away the vibe. Hmm.

hi there, yes very electro indeed! refreshin stuff for a dnb head Wink nice pads n synths all compliment each other well..

seems like this one would have a wider apeal imo. nice vocoder action going on and the mad little synth that comes in after the drop

whole arrangement fits well together as the synths maintain the rhythm on this one

definately not one for the purists but i like it none the less - great stuff!

production wise very neat and tidy i can't spot any major issues - well done! Bigup

Good combination of 2 styles, sounds pro!
Although vocoder stuff in DnB is kinda cheezy, it does have a certain turn on in Electro.
Good melodies too. Nicely mastered.

Quality phrenzy stuff me thinks! Lovin the 80ish sound!

Noticed that the mixdown could be a tad cleaner. I think it’s your snare mashing it up in some way so maybe apply some equing to it or else.

Vocoder is funky, melodies are sweet too.

Enjoyed listening!

sounds really 80's like the theme tunr to manequin or something cheesy like that....mix sounds pretty good throughout...eevrythings nice and clear....good arrangement, lots of variation and change-ups...cool melodies throughout.....lol....kinda addictive this tune....v.cheesy but addictive at the same time...only major criticism would be that the drums could use mroe energy to em....another layer of percussion to fill em out a little more....sounds great tho....good stuff!

If i was told John B made this i would not be surprised at all

You've got this sound down pretty tight so not a lot i can add really.

only thing i don't like is the lead that comes in at 1.13 ish. doesnt doesnt work for me.

Good work :Bigup:

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm mostly a lurker, here for the wealth of knowledge contained within the forum archives Big Grin

Nothing constructive, just to say that IMO this track is fantastic. Drummer
