<Pony><wip><original> Scootaloo's wings. - Improvement?

Postby Illuminated » 14 Mar 2012 08:03

So, the thing is. Me and MScootaloo are kinda working on this song. Called Scootaloo's wings (we're not quite sure about the name yet). But since we're both beginners at music creation. We hoped that some od you awesome guys could listen to it and tell us what you think. Is it good, is it bad? What can we do to improve it? ANYTHING IS GOOD! BE HONEST! :D

'cuz we kinda wanna join the balloon party. So this is our wip. :)

AAAA MY EARS

...Sorry.

I had to stop listening ~40 seconds in because holy crap does that drop suck. You're using the wobble way too much and without any semblance of coherency. It seems like wubs for the sake of wubs, just there to satisfy a requirement, not to make the song better.

You don't need wubs to get on Balloon Party.

I did like the opening, maybe take that, and make it harder after the drop instead of what you have now.

Skipping around through the rest of the track, more wubs. Doesn't really make me want to finish listening.

Ok, thanks for feedback btw. But what you basically want us to do, is to make the drop heavier and erase some of the wubs? :D

That problem in my opinion is the wubs aren't focused on one goal or one theme, they just exist and loiter around my headphones like a drifer coming and going. The track doesnt go anywhere emotionaly, if you could find a way to focus the track on one theme or idea it would really benifit.

As for the technical side: First synth is awesome the sine bass during the intro works well, drop is weak (its doesn't have a build up so it comes out of nowhere). You can hardly hear any of the drums, take some time and learn compression, amplification and transient control.

yeah backtrack those wubs and focus on what you're trying to do with the track. the eq on the wubs paricularly sounds pretty bad overwhelming everything.
