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

Not sure if I am done with this one yet though, but I rarely have time for producing these days. :S

The style is (supposed to be) liquid, and I made it with FL Studio, Hypersonic, and 3xOsc.

the piano riff sounds like it could be an octave higher where it is now it brings the energy of the track down like the drums that piano needs sortin tho it puts a depressing element in the track where it sounds kinda dull

I made this in sadness, actually. If you listen to Logistics - City Life, it does not have much energy in it as well.

You need to start to use hypersonic less obvious. I could easily tell which preset you used. Hypersonic is great but using the sounds nearly unprocessed and on their own won’t deliver a good result. Add effects, layer other sounds, eq and do whatever is required to add a personal note. What you get in the end is a fresh sound that hasn’t been overused and nobody should be able to tell what synth you used in the first place.

The melody is fine so far. I’d alter some of the piano’s note- and velocity programming in order to get more groove and realism.

Your snare is sort of dry, add a touch of reverb and eq. Kick is ok, bass a bit muffled. Is there a volume lfo applied or something or is it the sound itself? You should control the bass dynamics with proper compression anyways.

Work your transitions (too abrupt) and structure.

I like the overall concept, keep it up.

I remember this one, you sent it to me over AIM a while ago or something like that. Still liking the vibes, still think it's lacking in energy. Like Quantum said, layering some more breaks to it should help. Maybe try increasing the tempo a tad?

Yeah, true. And yeah, might add some more hits. But should I add some more notes to add energy?

I still think the piano could do with some variation.
the bass is a lil loud, pushes the kick backwards
break sounds cool, might wanna layer a high passed over it for that extra fullness
around 2mins i would fade the drums out to prevent that sudden transation.

with a lil changes this tune can be a great tune manBig Grin
if u want me to help with the piano, hit me up Smile

Piano riff is competent; but is a little repetitive for me.
ASDR on your drums seems very abrupt. The break sounds very 'dry'.

Bass is cool Smile

drum edits @ 1:40 are quite nice- keeps it varied.

Think you need an additonal, complementary melody for the piano in the middle of the tune.
Kept waiting for a drop that never really came.

Not a bad effort at all.. prefer the latter half of the tune.

Thanks man.

I am clueless about adding another piano melody, needs something that goes well with the current one. Also need a drop for that. Smile
