Yo. Not seen you on here in ages. It's been so long that I've probably uploaded something like 30 tracks since then. I hit 50 a long time ago so keep having to remove one every time I upload a new one.
Anyway, your track is a good one. Here's some more detail:
I like the opening synth riff and the fat kick. Nice space on the drums to allow the grooves to form within. Then various long, low bass notes.
0:42 we get more pad-based lead work, stil with that main synth riff in the background.
0:57 and we're into a bit of a pop sort of chorus with that new, uplifting synth part. Then a drum break and it's all still very melodic. This isn't quite trance, perhaps more 80s synthpop with a more modern feel. Hands in the air stuff for sure.
2:12 we come back down to that initial synth part and the bass is still fat.
Not sure what you couldn't quite figure out with this one. It all makes sense to me and I don't have many suggestions or criticisms. It's a little commercial to be something I can absolutely love but will be very popular with people more into that sort of sound. Quite a few of the synths have a little bit too much fizz and brightness for me but not to worry (that's not really even a criticism, just a declaration of my preferences).
The structure and changes suggest there could easily be vocals added. Any plans for that?
Mastering is fine. It pumps but isnt too loud, thank God (and Buddha and Mohammed). Probably better than some/most of my mastering though it's a very different sound from most of my stuff.
Description : Feel free to check out the video on YT as well (Alan McLaren Project - Upside Down) of this 6min journey from electronic to rock with some psychedelic moments...
This is my latest, but also one of my earliest tracks.... any feedback is more than welcome, thanks :)
Description : This is a strictly groove track where the elements of ambient meets electronic funk and Hip Hop. I play all instruments on the track excluding guitar solo which was performed by my friend Art Miller.
Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.
Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.
Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.

Description : Far out mid-tempo fat beat deep chillout grooves with Eastern/Arabic and slightly menacing vibes, huge delayed synth bass and a great palette of psychedelic layered and intricate sounds (mostly synths) and a stirring, epic feel. Even has guitar solo section reminiscent of some 80s power rock which is then followed by a brief synth harp solo. I began making it straight after staying round the flat of the flute player from the legendary Ozric Tentacles - easily the greatest ever space rock band. I made this in about 2001 and still think it might be my best track (and it's nice and short, for a change). My production skills were much weaker in those days (no EQ, compression or mastering used here) but, somehow, this one turned out pretty much just right. Feel free to disagree. Now sit back and get ready to trip extremely far out. If you manage to return, let me know how that trip was...
I'm digging this! -Digs tunnel- :>
Like those different drums and the flowing...
Good track, respect, Danke
