Please check out my new track 'Error!! Does Not Compute' and post your comments here!

THe 1st track on my album "Thrown Into Chaos" that I finished last month. It mixes into the next track so it gets cut off at the end.

wtf?..

I'm not meaning to sound rude, but this sounds so fucking messed up. It is a culmination of breaks with a load of un-neccesary compression or whatever..


No feeling..

Nothing other than a quirky vocal sample surrounded by hectic over-compressed breaks... You've uploaded better than this, you know it..

Huh

If that is all you had to say then don't say anything at all, and this is why rarely upload here. There are many people on another site that like this song. I don't think it is overcompressed, I have heard tracks that are even more compressed.

Right, i hear what you're sayin. I know you think I'm a cunt.

You have uploaded 25 tracks on this site, that is quite alot no?, 2 albums worth at least no?
Look I'm being harsh yes, but mate the tune sounds like nothing but loads of breaks struck together with ambience.. You DO have the ability to cook up good breaks, i say work on it... I'm no expert, fuck me you know that, why would you be uploading to this site otherwise, but I'm being BRUTALLY honest, in time that is what you will appreiciate more than mediocre comments..


Don't write me off as an internet spammer/troll whatever you call those cunts, I wouldn't be replying unless i believed you had ability.


Peace.

Drummer

The point of posting tracks here is so you can get honest criticism mate, its not about people patting you on the back.

I think you're off to a start but I think the breaks could be cleaned up with EQ, kick and snare should be punchier and the structure could be improved. Everything kind of blends together and there's nothing that makes the track stand out, but you have the moody vibes on lock. Needs a better mixdown and you'll have a better tune mate.

Too late it is already on my album, should I re mix it and create a new version of the album?

Quote of the day

You need to be able to take criticism whether it has been eloquently put or not (glim)

Although Glim, rather than just be a bit harsh you could of offered up some advice for improvement rather than just slate it.

safe mate.wo-2 b absolutely honest wit u-as soon as the kik/snare drop in everyfin really dus sound a bit muddy-nothin seems to hav ne space 2 breath.really like the little build-up/roll tho jus b4 kik drops in.yes mate them mids r soundin dirty in the intro build-up.fair play this kiks rite off wen it drops but like ovas hav sed the mixdown is not the best mate.nuttin personal-the ova day i was kikin off a bit cus my track was rated to hav an awful mixdown n no offence at all mate but i swear the mixdown n eq was better than this trak n i got a far lower score-so it not all bad!! na but fair play mate u obv kno wot u doin on the production.


fing is aswell mate is wen u put ur tune on ere-unless ur in the .be crew people will really look 4 negatives n critisiscms but at end of day thas a gud fing bcus even tho u dont like the comments-u can later (secretley of cours) use them 2 ur advantage n improve the trak!

The starts ok, but it gets very muddy after a few seconds.

Sub needs to come up.

Some nice ideas, but its so messy. The drums don't flow properly, I doubt if you could mix them into another track nicely. The structure could be vastly improved really.

Definately needs some better hooks and lots work doing on it. A bit tiring as it is.

FUCK YOU GLIM! THIS TRACK IS AMAZING! Best track EVER! Mad Devil

It's very messy, think the EQ spectrum is a bit packed around the low center here...

It's a good tune, but needs serious cleaning-up to it. The beats aren't coming through as they should imho, only because there's so much going on in the same frequency spectrum.
I'd redo the EQ'ing, could be a fine track then...

Oh, and to finish of, nice drop Wink

Cool idea. Bad mixing. I like the FX's choices. Bad structure. Good synth sounds.

ok so the drums sound very cluttered and frantic and the general rythm feels very stop start and doesnt really flow. like the bell style pad you got going on sounds great. when it drops i think the drums really take away from the impact. if they had been more focused i think the drop would have made more sense. cool sounds used though just too frantic for me Smile

the kick has got too much boom, the rest of the break is muffled which is a pitty as I can hear the arrangement is good

cool little soudns throughout, but that bass appeared all of a sudden without any warnign, think its better to keep it until after it drops

total madness from the drop onwards, you got some mad synth manipulation skills

there are some unneeded sounds like that pad after it drops

keep at it for sure
