Hey twisted kin, just lookin for some feedback on my latest track. Mostly lookin for input on the intro and quality/clarity of the entire track (especially when it gets busier). Mind you its only a demo no mastering or anything.

Anyways, this began after i heard an old track from Hallucinogen for the first time a few days ago. See if you can guess (it should be pretty obvious if you know that track).

Also, if you recognize the samples I’m sorry cuz I rarely ever use samples and so these ones are pretty obvious ones if you’ve ever googled free samples, lol.

Any advice is welcome! Just click my session page, I only have 1 track up so far.

I really liked it, especially the first 2 minutes. The “Gladiator” part was okay in my book, but all in all I liked it and would really like to have it on .mp3 in my winamp

I could be more specific on feedback if the sessions had a timer on it.

Hi Joshua, really liked this one. Very twisted style - I loved the “Posford” flanged snare. Reminds Younger Brother style, but mostly, sounds like the Hallucinogen Herb Garden.
A bit darkish, exactly how I like!

The intro is excellent - the mix clear as far as I can hear with my internet PC loudspeaker.
I would make it even little busier - busier with more melodic complications as it flows on.

Good work mate

hey hey, thanks guys for the positive feedback. Glad the intro is appreciated even though it was the easiest part of the mix lol. I do plan on addin another layer or two like a simple melodic synth, almost sine wave or somethin along those lines. Anyways ill let ya know of further changes and newer tracks once im ready.

For now im tryin to produce some more original, or personal samples as sampling is my current new field of focus (along with wave editing).

anyways, im glad the feedback has been positive so far but i would really like some harsher criticism!! yes, i AM asking for it, i know.

take it easy

Well mate… Your music sucks! And your mix is awful!!!  :twisted:

kidding, of course… Dude I never say the opposite of what I think - if I like, I like, If I don’t - I don’t; the best I can do is deliver my negative opinion in a way as not to be too harsh.

The only criticism I can say about this one is a lack of melodies for me and more “action” (yes, even more) as you progress, but as you said, your track is not finished - so I didn’t mention that.

Unfortunately,  the twisted community is not always that verbose, so even if you get only positive feedback it should be a good sign I suppose.

Good luck mate :wink:

Hi Joshua

The Second Covenant is a cool track. Pretty well mixed. Just needs touching up a bit.

Forgive Insomnia he wants everything in a track   (Just kidding Insomnia dude) I agree with him slightly with maybe having more melodies or maybe more sounds to divert the attention from the core of the track. However it’s your idea/vision/story so you can tell it how ever you want.

DubWahWah I love the guitar but in my monitors it sounds to much with the rest of what you have. Maybe tone it down a little and put a filter on it to cap the high bits. But sounds like it could be a cool track.

Good luck and look forward to hearing the finished pieces

haha thank you.. your points are true. i’d say that track is about 1/3 to completion of a full song minus mastering. the other 2/3 i’d say are probalby that i’d make the song twice as long, and also add more melodic layers as you guys suggested. Problem with it is that the track was born out of pure attempt at copying herb garden.. it definitely didn’t finish that way but the bassline is still at the core just a copycat. And at this point i already spent probably about 20 hours on the track and i’m gonna have to push myself to work on it more, which is hard to do for a copycat track. it’ll probably end up in the back shelves with a few other “pending completion” tracks lol.

I rather keep movin forward anyways. my music is finally startin to get to that level that i’m not embarrassed to show to people because it sounds more natural even though it’s still heavily electronic. Every track sounds better. Eventually i gotta learn to stick through with a track till i can finally say “..it’s finished.”

anyone else have that problem? anyone conquer that problem? tell me how!

*edit:
oh yeah i wanted to say also the wahwah track isn’t even a track it was just me experimenting to get the guitar fx, and i’m done with that one. But i did just upload a track i made yesterday in reggae style which also uses a similar guitar riff.
