The productions thread - Part III!

why do i gotta try so hard to be me
why do i gotta try so hard to be free
why is nothing ever easy ?

these are the questions i repeat to myself daily
with hopes my actions portray me
but there always seems to be some sort of distraction

what just happened?
what just happened?

then im back to my old habits
like a rabbit kicking up dust to blind his trail while chasing his own tail, and something must prevail, and if it isnt me then i have no time to be surprised.

;)
 
I posted in this thread a while ago, but I believe none of you really remember me, so I'll bury myself up again and come back as a zombie, just to post my soundcloud profile yet again. It's all new and fresh, so please check some of my tracks out in there although I know it may not be in the same grade as the norm of this place.

Most of the tracks there are made with Fruity Loops, don't laugh ^^, and the rest are made with Reason. I assume most of you utilize Cubase, Ableton, Sonar etc. for your music production stuff.
 
i just started making music again after a year long break

when i'm high later i'll give a listen to the tracks posted in this thread :) wouldn't mind some tips on things i can improve, especially in regards to mixing.

@DexterMeth: not bad, i think it sounds a bit muddy somewhere in the low-mid range, cut that down a bit and i think it'd really open it up. I like how the effects alter the melody, reminds me of tripping. I like your song meph-bomb, just need to mix it so i can hear the lyrics better :)

@KnockandoForErowid: i can't figure out this spotify stuff, if you post it to soundcloud i'll give it a go.

@BrahamCracker: for your transition to rap beats i'd try some different drum samples, some of my favorites are the goldbaby 808 pack which you can find on a certain pirate's website.

Any feedback on my newest track?

Just finished it the other night.
Its my first time EQing my sub basses so hopefully they sound swell.

Anyways, let me know if you have any comments, suggestions, or whatever. And if you could follow me on soundcloud that would be awesome!

Post a track you are working on...

I didn't see any link to a thread like this in the general directory... so I hope this is kosher...
Sorry if it isn't.

I just think this could be a positive thing for critical feedback and or some of bluelights users thoughts.

Anyhow just link to a particular song you have been working or finished (unmastered or mastered)...

Feels Good Man

Just a tune I have been working on. I might completely redo this one.

Input?
 
overall i like the track, especially the melody towards the end, kind of a swirling synth sound, nice and warm.

I like your intro part but the hi hats sounded a bit harsh to my ears, could be me though. And into the second part sounds like you have too much sound in the mids. The start of the second part could also use a more interesting melody imo. Other than that i enjoyed it.

i was going to post one i was working on today but i just listened to it and it sounds like garbage lol i'll put something up later.

edit: there we go, as good as it's going to get today: http://soundcloud.com/panickatt/july8guitar
