Please check out my new track 'Star Tears' and post your comments here!
this track took a ridiculously long time to make there were so many errors within the mastering and melodies =P but after my last to tracks "flopped" and i was convinced no one on this site was takin' me serious i had to bring my A game lol. this track to about 25hours it includes some sick melodies and patterns including the ever infamous amen pattern which ive been practicing with forever but have finally mastered xD thanks for any feedback and ALL reviews will be replied to and welllll appreciated!!

EZ Mate, The Piano melody sounds slack(Un quantised)
and could do with tightening,also the key velocities are a bit all over the shop.
The sounds in this im sorry to say dont go man they sound like they all belong to different tunes, its all a bit of a mash up.
You done well with the amen tho
I really feel you have over tried with this and tried to cram as much into 5 mins as possible
Keep at it man, remember, less is more!

wow im new here and have listened to a few but this is just sick as fuck bro ;D i really like the beginning rythm its on point with all the other layers!!! and that amen omg you just learned that your up there with the pros if you made that by "hand" with your step sequencer, only problem i would say is that toward the end there a "riff" that has unquantized notes in it but nvrmnd that its a simple fix! LOVE THE TRACK keep it up your on your way to the top!!!! xDDD

What's up man, ok first the good, your mix and master sound pretty good, drums have a good clean sound. The rest of the track needs work though, way too many flat and sharp notes being used and it gives the track an off sound that doesn't really come together. Choose a note that starts off your bass or pad or whatever, and let everything else share that starting note, stay away from the black keys, these are more usefull when constructing chords not melodies, they can be used for this but sparingly. Also the panning you have goin on the cymbols is a bit extreme, save this technique for stuff other than percussion, you want your drums to sound glued together. Keep at it though, and don't feel rushed, 25 hours on a track may be a lot for some but it's probably pretty average for most people. I can lay down a basic track in a couple sessions but will then spend many hours tweaking and trying to get it right. Also Recons advice is something I live by with DnB, less really is more, don't let yourself get carried away with one element of a track like the piano. Keep cranking man, peace...

Hey man, I'm sorry to say I don't like this one either. The sound is better but
- Your melodies make no sense, they're just some random notes one after an other
- Your melodies don't blend together, they're just not made to be played at the same time or even in the same song
- Your structure sounds pretty random: a few bars of this, a few bars of something else, mute this, mute something else. It doesn't build, it doesn't flow, it just jumps from one part to the other.
And 25 hours? I think I spend WAY more on most of my tunes, mostly spread over a couple of months.

people have no sense of difference you must know difference to make originality and to birth difference you must know originality this is illogical music is illogical, do not forget this its not always about whats here and normal, its sometimes about what we ourselves begin in our hearts...follow your heart dont follow the book.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I like people trying new things. But you can try new things and come up with awesome stuff, and you can come up with complete shyte. And I'm sorry, but I didn't like the way your tracks turned out.
You post them here for us to give you pointers, that's what I did. I have the right not to like your stuff, you have the right to disagree with me on that, but that doesn't mean either of us is wrong.

Fair play for trying something different man, it just didn't have the impact you were hoping for, keep on pushing the boundaries for sure, but the boundary distance is very short when it comes to melodies. Interesting Vocal! Tunes a bit to random for me. But what I can say is the Mixdown is pretty clean! Nice level work for sure. I always try and e a little different, have a listen let me know what you think.
Thanks

Don't like the crazy panning of the pads in the intro. I would keep those constant instead of moving them from left to right. Sounds very dissonant in places. Also trying to make out the bass was pretty tricky for me. I also wouldn't have panning on the cymbals - it's a bit too distracting. Really boost that bass. This is not a golden rule, but as a bit of general advice, if you've got the pianos doing a crazy pattern try and have the strings/pads doing something much simpler as well as the bass. All the best.

Like some of the drum patterns. As stated before a lot of the sounds do not flow very well together. The structure needs a little work, the main issue is the melody. Listen to any good melody, it will first ask a question; then a good melody will give an answer. If I am confusing you please listen to some Beethoven or Mozart and you will understand. Take care.
