Please check out my new track 'Holding On' and post your comments here!
This is a liquid-dancefloor tune I made. Not my usual style but I'm already quite happy with the tune so far. As always, feedback is really aprreciated. Enjoy!
Really good production on this one.
Drums are sweet, but with a dancefloor number like this i would bring the KIK/SNR to the front of the mix and really make them punch!
Bass is wicked also.
Nice width to this esp the vocal(nice touch by the way!)
Structure is sound and mix/mstr are good too but needs a little pro sheen and this track is a slammer for sure.
Good work man...what shit you using by the way?
dancefloor ready! The mix could use some stereo to give everything some space. Your mids / high mids are a little muddy w/ your synth, pads, keys & riser fx sitting dead center. Maybe some panning & EQing? all in all, nice dancefloor tune. Catchy, rolling... nice1
on the intro the drums sound a bit to bass heavy, however when the track kicks in they sit with the sub bass very well in the mix, i love the vocals and the effects on them, and a lovely bassline you have there, sounds very Netsky influenced, im liking the short breakdown and when it comes back im liking the little arpeggiated melody you have over the top.
Thanks for all the replies!
I'll try to mix the mids better. And the kick / snare could use some more volume indeed. And I'm gonna change my crash sound, it sounds pretty horrible I noticed now
.
I'm using FL Studio 9, with Massive for bass (pretty basic: saw wave with some BP modulation playing chords + triangle wave playing the root notes for some more bass). Leads are from z3ta & samples. And the pad comes from an ambient sample CD.
Can't really dig the vocals, they sound too... girly... not deep enough...
Good production, beats & bass coming out fine
melody too, but, ain't nothing special...
it's ok I guess, just, not a very original track imo (sorry...)

sick tune, really like the melodies, snare could have a more snap imo, vocals are awesome, love the synth, alltogether sounds a little muffled on my system, maybe a little more eq-ing?, great sound, respect
Tune has a good vibe to it. Would really boost that sub to make the low end really rumble. The kick and snare need a bit more power also IMO. The vocal works well. Nice track.
Lead at 0:12 is cool - good presence
Vox are too far back in the mix for me.
You can barely hear them.. the rest of the mix is drowning the vocal out. Too much reverb on the vocal too for my taste.
Main bass does the job well.. kinda morphs into the lead which is nice
Nice fx@ 1:50
You could always try Kim Wilde- Keep me hanging on for an alternative source that's actually in key with your instrumental... or have you processed that already? thelyrics match, but the key doesnt match the original..
Generally good- but the vocal needs work.
I would turn down the lead and bass too by a 3 or 4db and let the mix breath a bit.
Its a very dense sounding mix.. ease off the comp if you can
Vocals sound better, but still not quite right... they should be a little louder; also add some resonance (high tones, in EQ) and make her start singing a little while before instead of right in front of the drop - make her sing something like, 'Give it up boy... Give yourself to me...' also, replace the 'I want your love' by 'I need your love', think that might sound better.

...or is she singing 'I want you now'?

So, you took my advice...
Man, I'm having a little conscience problem now... because I'm not sure if the original 'girly' vocals were really that bad...
I mean, it's probably just a matter of taste... Pace, shir_pan, recon & timmehhurts all liked them, who am I to disagree + I gave them another listen & they really don't sound that bad...

-mixdown can use a little work
-like the overall ideas and sounds
It remand's me on September by Future Prophecies. Deffo good tune. Vocals goes great with Sub Bass. Kick and Snares are good, but i think that u should add more low hats, than drums would be great. Also maybe you should add wobble, i have hear great wobbles in liquid tunes ( of course in some parts ).I don't like the middle part, comes so unexpected. Otherwise great tune, i would like copy from this ( when would be finished )to promote on parties and radio shows
And also Liquicity need this
I can tell you've put some effort in this tune. I'm really into liquid so I thought I'd review your tune. Starting with the build-up, classic build-up ofcourse. Which is not a bad thing, but try to be more original! Maybe remove the kicks at the beginning or something like that. I do like the way your vocal comes rollin' in at the drop. Also, nice clear pads & synths, would like to give feedback on those but I don't think there's much to improve. A the second drop, I would lower the bass a bit, so the drums get more space. Also the crash sound doesn't quite sound good. Bass sounds lovely, although I have the feeling the mid is a bit to high. But anyway, great tune man, I'd love to hear more of your's!
