Here's a kind of cinematic/psychedelic piece I've been working on. I kind of tried to imagine writing a soundtrack to a dream sequence or something. https://soundcloud.com/colorcode-1/dislocated-new-year-1

Here's a list of various non-dance, non-modular, electronic experiments I've been happiest with... https://soundcloud.com/eric-zak/sets/meditation-for-dogs

Sounds like a decent clean mix to me so far, nothing really stood out to me to give criticism on except that it seemed to be lacking some of the exact elements you said you are planning on adding later. I guess one small thing is that my ears expected to hear some ducking compression after the drop. Maybe that's something that gets added later, but it's so ubiquitous in tracks like this these days that it was kind of noticeable that I didn't get it. I'd say it's off to a good start, I'd encourage you to finish it and post the more finished product for more detailed feedback.

MrSargent posted:Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and provide feedback, it is much appreciated. For your comment regarding expecting some ducking compression after the drop, was there a particular element that you thought wasn't ducking quite enough when the kick hits? I sidechained most of the tracks to the Kick, but adjusted the ratio & threshold accordingly for each track so some (like the crash and reverse crash) are very obviously ducking where others (like the pads) duck just enough to let the kick punch through. I will experiment with adjusting the threshold on the sidechain compressor for the pads track (i think that's probably what you are referring to as not ducking much) and see what works. On second listen I did hear what you did with the sidechaining. I think maybe my ear has been tainted by hearing a lot of tracks lately where the pads and other instrumentation is pumping exaggeratedly. I'd take it with a grain of salt, though, that's not necessarily something I'm even all that into.

MrSargent posted:Cross-posting from the making electronic music thread: Great job, especially for a couple nights of work! I'm not sure what kind of critique to give but I enjoyed the the way it bounced along and thought it sounded pretty well mixed to my ear, especially the kick and bass in the choruses.

Here are a few experimental electronic tracks in various states of completion I started a while ago. I'd be curious to see what people think. https://soundcloud.com/eric-zak/stomp-the-moon-second-remix - gleeful space-pop thing https://soundcloud.com/eric-zak/the-boss-files - dark minimal synth thing https://soundcloud.com/eric-zak/i-guess-well-see-about-that-jungle-junk-remix-feat-aaron-burkle - loose psychedelic house-like thing https://soundcloud.com/eric-zak/touch-of-life-remix - piano solo Drink-Mix Man fucked around with this message at 17:11 on May 1, 2017 |

I especially like the harmonies once they come in. BIG TIT LIL NIP posted:https://www.soundcloud.com/codeprefix This is the kind of great weird atmosphere only a person with no training could create.

Cool, thanks for the feedback. Which synth are you referring to? The chomping electric guitar-sounding one?

Mistayke posted:I have been away from music for 20+ years due to my stupidity back in the day. Let's just say groupies and wife are not a good mix. But now that technology allows us to remain kind of anonymous with music, she let me get a nice little home studio set up. I liked a lot of this. Some good compositions not leaning heavily on any particular genre.

That was enjoyable ambience and gave me some ideas for how to approach more live looping, which I don't do much, so thanks! The vocal samples were nice, what are they?

im_sorry posted:I have about a minute left on my Soundcloud page for uploads, and I don't really want to delete anything else, but if I want to upload anything, I'm going to have to start deleting stuff. Does anyone here actually pay money to Soundcloud? Are there other services (besides Alonetone, which I already use) that perform similar functions? How do I best preserve my old robot farts and keep the ability to upload new robot farts? I pay for Soundcloud pro for the extra space. I don't think your tracks get deleted though when you go over your space, I think your oldest tracks just get hidden. I have been considering just migrating to Youtube though.
