Enhouse

As the name suggested it certainly is bangin. I would say it's techno tho? Really nice to hear someone on hear going for the underground sounds. The only thing I would suggest is a bit more variation on the perc and drums. Good work.

Hey Enhouse,

I think some bass is required for starters.
I will send you something

That's a club banger!! Love it.

lots of different sounds and effects sounds like u used. i like that sound u used around 2:30 or around there kinda dark. cool job!

I like your house beat it sounds a little bit like a heartbeat which is very cool. Subconsciously we are in tune with that sound from being in the womb.
I didn't really hear any bass line in this track so you might want to think about adding a simple one nothing to extravagant.
I think this is a good basis and you could develop this in lots of different directions.
Simple but effective.

crazy s''t is going on in your head. ;) reminds me of a zomby movie i saw once hehe. love the dark felling to it

love it. mice rythem. deep fat kick. just love it. no melody or what so ever :D. just a jungle flow. HOT stuff!! favorit

I like the gritty vibe. The main synth sequence could use some variety. A good part for that to happen is when the guitar comes down to that heavy chord riff. If the synth matched up to the key of the guitar chords it would be a good change. Could also double up the guitar to bring it out a bit more. Cheers

I like the sounds and the lil effect you have going on for the vocals, however I think it could use just a touch more variety in the synth/bass line you got going there. I do like the direction you're going there. Maybe try changing the synth up and parts and see how that goes.

hell yeah! lets all unite!

well anyways i like the entire song! really trippy and the contrasting synths paint a picture that is off the rictor!

Well well well guys this is good right up my street in fact. I especially enjoyed the last 3minutes of the track really quite progressive.
Anything i think could be improved? well I think the transitions from one section of the tune to the other could do with just a bit smoothing out they are a bit sharp in my humble opinion.
I have been trying to get a Fidget House track on the go I luv the sorta staccatto sharp edged sounds they use in the genre I like using them with Electro basses I have been doing a few remixes lately and really enjoying it I would luv to remix this if possible with a Fidget House edge to it.
Anyway right into Favs with this guys nice one:)

cool sound it kinda sounds as if its going forward in revese..diffrent! but its a heavy track none the less..
peace! damn not to get off track but where dose that statement come from "going forward in reverse?"

I think it sounds much better with the effects and mastering. The more I listen to it the more I like it! Certainly was a challenge, I don't usually work on house tracks. :)

Fun working with you!

Hey Chris, I think it's a good starting point you got going here. I think a melody of some sort wouldn't hurt to bring a little more interest to it. The bass could be a bit brighter, a little snappier, sounds a bit muddy to me. I hope you can work this out a little more.

Wayne

Hey Man! This sure is a dark energy track! I like how it plays out and gets into it! Dark and mysterious! While listening you get the feel of running away,escaping just like the title describes!
Interesting and creative!
Keep up the good work!

This is pretty good man, really diggin when the snare came in. Lots of percussion, like it. Cool changes throught the song.

Wayne

I never heard the original so I can't judge it from that aspect but I do like it. From about the 2 min point on it changes and gets moving.

Yeah Chris, that is getting better. Your percussion loops still get out of tempo at times.... Remember "snap to the grid" with your loops and samples. The synth work is good, I like your vocal stuff in this track and the other one as well. It actually has some what of a structure musically (applause applause applause).... good for you. It kind of has an ABCA format, so the recap at the end when you bring the A section back really closes the track up nicely and gives it a finish. It also makes it far more interesting to listen to than a minimal track that doesn't develop at all. I think at times there are too many things going on in the track which makes it really muddy and garbled but there are points in the track that are really quite nice. A great art composition still not much of a dance track, but if you wanted it to be an art composition... you nailed it. Chris, I would suggest writing your own drum and percussion tracks rather than looping samples of somebody elses work. As a composer, you will get more satisfaction from the composition as a whole if it was all composed by you. Plus writing your own drum and percussion tracks I'm sure would solve your "rushing" and "dragging" problems with the percussion. It's exciting.... remember when we were writing the percussion tracks to "The Last Sunset" and how adding different patterns changed the feel of it... Plus using a drum kit program also eliminates the sound quality differences in the looped samples you use. Keep up the good work buddy.

Well Chris, I can see others stand in agreement with me regarding your composition skills. First let me start out saying that this track is a major improvement over the intial tracks you sent to me when you first came up to the house. Major...and good for you...however, AudioTsunami is correct, and I have told you this before...your samples and loops, many of times, fall out of rhythm and tempo. You need to work with a program that will allow you to enter your chosen loops and samples into the program that will stretch the sample or loop into the BPM of the track...it's called "Snapping it to the grid". This will keep your syncopations in tempo and keep them from "rushing" or "dragging" throughout the track. Right now, it sounds like a bunch of 3 year olds banging on pots and pans in the kitchen with no rhyme or reason. Daveyjonesmusic is also correct and we have talked about this before. Your track needs musical structure. That is why I gave you that music book from my music theory 1 class in college. Giving your song a beginning middle and end is what it needs....an ABA sonata format perhaps. Finally, both AudioTsunami and Daveyjonesmusic are correct again, you do need to work on your production techniques. Compression, limiting, EQ's. I have another book you can borrow,... you can't have it, I only have one copy but it's called Electronic Music Synthesis. Another book from my music major college days you will find helpful. All in all Chris, it was a much better attempt than your previous tracks you sent me. You know if you were in New York City, late 70's Early 80's writing music for some freaked out, progressive, modern dance troop wearing f**ked up costumes, doing f**ked up tribal modern dance shows in some way off Broadway artsy farsty theater, this track would have nailed it on the head....it reminded me of some of the stuff I would hear at some of these modern dance recitals, however, if you want this to be a club track played by DJ's...you need to keep working on it. I'll see ya when I back from my tour in June.

Keep it Up

Ciao,

Thanks for the review, not really much i can say here that hasn't already been said. Don't be disheartened though, getting better at making electronic music, i find, is all about learning from your previous work whether that be from the good points or the bad points. Im not trying to sound condescending because i still have LOTS to learn myself, just take everyone heres advice and do some research on production techniques/ mixing etc and you'll be well on your way.

Good day!

Okay - here are my two cents. You have created some interesting minimalist synthlines, percussion hooks and FX and I pretty much digg the sinister vocal and techy warbled moog later on in this piece - it shows imagination. This is quality I find important when listening to other ppl's music. I feel that I'd have to agree with others here in that the track does need more work for it to stand out more. Firstly the elements need to be somewhat clearer, EQ-ing and volume level are important. With the percussion try upping the 2.5khz levels but low-cut the 1000-400hz levels a little to avoid making the synth elements sound unclear. Also, reverb space and pan can be a good way to make your track have space and feel more 3 dimensional and less constricted. Finally, try and work a little more on structuring your piece, i.e. give it a beginning middle and end and try to avoid an "untied up" ending. If you can work on these things you'll find yourself gaining enormous attention as I reckon you do have talent with your ideas here. Good luck, --Davey--

I think you need some light synth.
this is a bit deep and unclear,
JW is right maybe melodie is best to put in track

must say thats different to anything I've ever heard before! It sounds as if a few samples are really out of time what DAW do you use? also sounds really muddy, try setting up eq buses for different samples/loops before throwing them into the mix so juicy frequencies, the ones you want to really stand out pop! while you lose the unwanted frequencies which will just cloud up your song.

To me this song sounds a lil, erm, garbled. Sorry for my lack of technical terms, but it sounds like I'm listening to this underwater. I do like the bass though, really deep.

ok...im not really a house freak...but it needs some work i guess...but i dont know what you could do...i would work with some melodies...just my opinion :)
cheers...JW...
