Constructive feedback about my tracks so far!
Posted on: 01.07.2013 by Abby Uss
Hi guys!
I am a new brazilian producer and I have produced some tracks so far and I would like to get some feedback from you guys, what do you believe about them? What can I improve? Are they sounding nicely or not?
I also look for some producers who would like to work together, do some co-productions, or something like that. anyone interested, my contacts are in my soundcloud page:

Not much else to be said. Tighter EQs, mixing and you've got yourself a decent minimal joint here.

Second, started off ok. NOT a fan of the ascending chromatics. 1:15 it's cool. the hats sound nice and fit well in the mix. To me it just seems as sonically you've left very little room. Try tucking the pads further back in the mix, bring down the highs so they sit right on top nice and light. Get things mixed well, and try to the limit the bandwidth of the bass and it's great. That arabic style melody does not fit, admirable effort, but it's off key, and just..IDK. 4:15 had a lot of potential to be really rocking but that arabic melody just kills it for me sorry.

4th. Starts great, I LOVE that hollow-ish sounding deep bass. The old school analog drums are great. I don't believe I would have used what sounds like a ride cymbal for the rolling 8s. Speaking of; try giving the alternating eight notes velocity changes maybe some slight stereo panning and you've got a WICKED groove. Synth choice is great. The wobbly robotic sound fits perfectly and the staccato modulated pads definitely add to the overall groove. Use of the reverberated snare was a good choice to g into the break down. Simple but effective. Maybe a bit bigger and epic, with a LONG echo tail, then getting really quite and building back up to the leads would increase the epic-ness. IMO. 2:03 is great. I believe this were you're "melody" is the best. Simple, rhythmic and appropriate for the track. the little arp in the background adds. I don't believe there's anything I'd really take away or add to this track.

Overall, good stuff. Keep at it. Don't forget to "calibrate" when a tracks done. It's hard to kill your babies, but sometimes there's parts (i.e.) the Arabic melody that just don't go. 4th track is definitely the highlight of the bunch though.
Hi Bigg Chev!
I am very glad for your comments and suggestions, this was exactly what I was expecting!
I noticed that you didnt comment about the 3rd track, but it is fine... hehehehehe...
I will try to follow some of your recommendations, I believe this is the way to improve our selves! To listen good advices from more experienced guys and try to evolve!

Thank you very much!

By the way... do you have a webpage? What kind of sound do you produce?

Once again, Thank you!

Hey Camilodamiao,

Yeah, sorry I really couldn't get into the 3rd one so I left it out. I do have a Soundcloud and a very old Soundclick for my old hip-hop production group. The soundcloud one is just random stuff. I really don't get to produce much these days, between school and work
