<Pony><WIP><Original> Balloon Party Teaser Thing

[Indigo Spectrum]

Hey guys, here's a Balloon Party teaser thing that I made. I know it's not good enough for Balloon Party, but I needed something to motivate me to make music. I also borrowed A LOT from the TornadoTwins, so yeah. Anyways, here it is, this is my second track so feedback is greatly appreciated!

It's not that it's not good enough, it's not hard enough. When the "Where's the Balloon Party?" part came up, I was expecting a huge drop. Dayum, and was I anticipating it. Still, it was fun to listen to.

Fair point, I'm still learning on how to make it hard and make the drop stand out. Since the Balloon Party release date is still several weeks away, I can hopefully learn more things. Thanks for the response! I really appreciate it!

This certainly does have a lot of potential, but you're probably going to want to drop to be much "harder".
Try experimenting with designing and building sounds with whatever synths you're using, both by trial and error and with online tutorials to help get those more gritty wobbles!

You should download some drum samples too, and play around with layering and processing them (I'm sure there are many threads in the "Technique" section about drum EQing and compression) to get some nice really punchy kicks and really snappy snares and hats with clarity, as opposed to (I think?) FL defaults.

The lead up could have a few more effects, but of course, that is all choice based.

Overall, IMO the song probably needs more complexity, more layers. Maybe try adding some pads at some point, and a deep strong sub-bass underneath both the wobbles and the intro? Or maybe thing like arps, side melodies, chord stabs, up to you I guess. Variation in the wobbles would be good too (I don't mean variations as in pitch or LFO frequency, more like, different patches).
