Please check out my new track 'Clear Blue Sky' and post your comments here!

Wassap .be-mates Smile
Here's my new one so far.

I need your opinions on this one.
The piano is much louder in the intro than before the piano comes in, but the pad shouldn't be louder. Any advice on which instruments to start the song?

Your snare is too noisy, it seems like it has some white noise mixed in but it's too much.
Not a big fan of those pads you use, they sound a bit like a church organ.
You should focus more on bass and piano and add some sparse pads or strings to fill it up IMO.

Hey Simage, Pace here. Like the tune. Can see what Battledrone is saying about the snare, it is very crispy/hissy, but I think it's OK. It's only a problem if it's jumping out of the mix and distracting the ear from other sounds going on.

Would maybe add some kind of percussion right from the intro (for a DJ - and also to create momentum)

I would experiment with having the pad/fx sounds and piano slightly louder in the mix.

You could also try starting the piano right from the beginning, might sound OK.

All the best,

Pace

you should make a simage piano sample pack for the site , your piano tracks are all really good the synth chord progression im not massively a fan of but that sounds more down to the tuning of the synth to me it could be a bit brighter it has a quite down beat organ feel to it at the mo some reversed strings for the intro would be cool maybe try loads of stuff and see what works trust your ear drums sound a tad thin or snare to be precise keep at it mate

Cool chil tune.Like the clap on the intro, also that bass and low drums.I think that u should put some fx on the organ.To put more hats on the beat.And u will have good tune.Nice tune anyway i like that u try to change ur things from tune to tune.
Big ups and keep ur work!

i have to echo a point battledrone made m8 soz.
theres too much going on with the snare,
either lose the tail off the snare or remove the white noise layer,
remember not all dnb has to splash around like a fish out of water.
if your going down the minimal road then a rim shot with some nice small plate verb would suit it better.

i dont mind the church organ sound,
but add a lil bit of movement to it to help it out a bit,
sounds a bit static(but dont go all wobblefest on it).<----lol.
piano is the nice tho si m8 Smile

In General, Solid track,
but defo needs way more variation on the drums,
Kicks doesn't stand out enough, I hear it, but it's like supressed by the mid tone synth.
Musically this song is pretty good, solid.
Production wise this could be better, although it's pretty good already, Keep going simage, you'll get there ^^!

nice intro. kick is barely heard, even when no bass is playing. the snare is way too loud compared to the kick, bass, and other elements. you should work on that levels. i maybe a nice track, but there's no kick, no bass, only ts ts ts ts ts (snare) and musical elements. i'd try to multiband compress the whole beat, so its levels would get more balanced

nice clear production mate, some nice vibes but the bass needs to be alot more powerful i think, try layering it and some more EQ in the lows maybe.... likin the pianos

Nice track, nice mixdown, drums are little static could use more roll, that piano sound is nice, i think you can get loose of some elements
