*UPDATED* - subby bass, longer intro, added bongocongoelements, some tweaks in eq with the bass and lead.
*UPDATED* - now with bass, added a fade at the end, so it won't stop so suddenly.

checked out your pictures and it looks good. keep in mind every sound will react different to eq so don't be afraid to stray slightly from my advice, every sound will have it's sweet spots but what you've done looks good and it is sounding Much better. the new percussion is cool too... using that loop on every other bar as you have is good but once it reaches 1 minute i would put it on every bar to groove the melody a bit harder before it changes.... i think you have it on every bar for the last couple but i would try starting that trend at the one minute area. look forward to hearing more.
alright :) It starts around one minute now. I think I'm actually drowning my lead with the low bass, I'm not really sure how to get around that.. I'll try fixing that, and then I'll try moving on with a new track :D
i listened again twice the last couple days cause you have good ideas and i want to help you out and it's sounding nicer. i agree with stina that you could make a whole new song out of the lead synth and turn the opening sounds into a much more straight forward house track... at the same time i know how easy and tempting it is to beef everything up and morph the sounds and progress as the track goes. i just recently started having the patience to assemble a real house track but you've come far enough that you shouldn't eliminate the lead sound.the only difference will be a slight genre change which is irrelevant.... notes: the bass seems to move in a rotary way? not sure if my ears are playing tricks but i might hold back on that a little and work eq a bit more... one good way is bring up the low end where it starts to resonate but not go crazy, and bring up the very high end slightly with a faded mid/high range to make it less muffled and more distinct in the mix. then you can lower the volume a touch and still hear it nicely and get the bass resonance which will clean it up a bit. the lead could get a touch more mid range (maybe 2-3k area) to beef it up... i think it may have been heavier last time i listened. i would still milk the beginning longer, while you have gone a more progressive direction the foundation is still house and it needs a little more time. Hope this helps this is by far the longest review i've ever written haha sorry for ranting!
Wow, thank you so much for helping me out, really appreciate it :) I'll include two screenshots, the first is of the bass, second is the bass"lead". Please tell if this was what you meant :) http://bildr.no/view/694464 http://bildr.no/view/694465.
I also included some drums from the african kit, and prolonged the intro a bit, don't know if that's enough though..
I really like this, even though it isn't done. It's been a while since I've heard house that sounded like this ^_^. What I really like is the "growling" synth that starts at 0:55.
Also I agree that the octave up thing near the end should be removed :3 . All in all though, it's extremely good!
*Update* I guess I'll add a pt.2 to this review since it's extended again.
I thought it was good before, I like it even better now. That style of house sounds really good =D
WAUV... Love the kinky techy beats and sounds (a bit like in the 80s, but with modern bass supplied) in, as the other reviewers says, the start from 0 to 0.38.. Then it goes too disco like to my taste and in another genre and style..., and You sit there arrrgghhh... It startet so nice and kinky and then breaks totally with another style and nice voice with nice effects.. But I would use that voice in another disco song or something and sing a bit more new waved cool/rough... and also smooth in accordance to the start..
Hi Stina, thanks for reviewing :)
Originally, I started out trying to make some progressive house, and then I sat there, with the lead and was all like, "I want to use you!!", so yeah.. I'll definitly try to do something about the start though, I want it to go longer, try out some percussion and some other sound changing over top, like Elotium suggested. I'll look around for vocals as well, or maybe get someone to sing for me ;)
Nice start bro, could use a bassline with a side chain compressor on it to make it pump, cause at the moment its a little one level sounding also putting the same side chain on the gliding leed sound would help it gain a little texture.
Thank you for your review :) I made a short bassline at the start, but I'm not sure if I like it. Side-chained the "bass-lead" and made a few other corrections. I'll probably make a new bassline and spice it off with some sub as well, if you have any more suggestions, PLEASE tell us :)
Nice you captured a blend of old and new school house sounds. I don't care for the octave up synth in the last 10 seconds but the acid sound at the beginning between 15 and 39 is nice and should go longer, maybe with percussion or some other sound changing over top. don't be afraid to let something play out for a while, that's what house music is great for. that is my advice. hope this helps.
Agree on the octave up synth, wasn't going to be there originally :)
Thank you for your advice, it really helped. I just updated this track now, and I'll do it again making the acid sound longer and mixing it with some percussion. In this update I haven't done that, but I made it longer, sidechained the "lead-bass" and made a short bass-sample at the start, which I'm actually not sure if I like or not :/ Thank you for reviewing, it's great to hear other peoples opinions :)

Description : Unofficial preview* of my upcoming first produced track named Therapy. Litterly a cut out of the track. Uploaded with first thought of letting it hear to a fellow Looperman member for a possible collab later on.
Comments are welcome tho!
About the preview, after the drop will start to another semi drop and with an harder more rawish main chorus part behind. Everything is as good as done now and being checked by demo listeners for response and feedback before getting a last hand at mixing&mastering.
Description : My first house song (on looperman). It's actually mix of progressive and dutch house. Hope you'll enjoy this! :) If you have time you can leave feedback, it's always appreciated!
Description : Ugly ass witch house beat that isn't technically a house beat. (The Drum Track is by LM's Danke.) The Track's based on an older beat of mine with the same name. This version's half as long & not as busy. The Synths are Synthmaster, Massive, Dark Keys & Creep Piano. And of course, It wouldn't be a Clickbait Cabaret beat without nine zillion FX plugins. Pretty sure all of them are on this beat.
Description : Funk House/Disco inspired by Daft Punk
No Samples used
Instruments:
Various vintage synths
Kontakt libraries: Ilya Efimov Telecaster for guitar, Session Horns Pro, Chris Hein Strings, NI Guitars
Vocals: Plogue Chipspeech & Alter Ego
Description : Melodic Progressive House with the lyrics by Mr.Shammi (visit his account here for incredible nice acapellas!). The ref is in Melbourne-Bounce-Style.
Description : check out janimifsson for these vocals
learning how to do house
good vocal effects
terrible drums
couldnt find a melodic loop to fit the track
figured out the key
the harmony basically matches the melody
probably in some dorian scale or something so
have to learn about that
the drums are my weakest point
good at the start but awful after the beat drop
please comment any songs to listen to to learn drums in this style
any advice please comment
Description : Update: So this was the looper tune that started it all for me on this site. Hard to believe it was Over 10 years ago. This tune carries the ethos I bring to music...interesting, always change the genre mid-flight and you won't see what's coming next. Also cool to see the early comments and who is still around as well. (#Feeling retro tonight) Orig: Trance-step tune that changes direction a few times
Maybe a vocal is missing to enforce the hook.
Great work, I like it very much
ciao, k
