<Pony><Original> Canterlot Clubs

[the4thImpulse]

I made this some time ago for the lesser knowns album (vol. 1) and then I got a job working at a summer camp so I have not had the time to upload it to youtube or even post it here.

I would for you all to critique it, be as harsh as you wan't, tell me every little thing you hate about it. I would also like to know what genre you would classify this as, I would call it progressive house but my friends are saying its something else (forgot the name).


The odd chance you want to remix this just pm me.

All I could really offer in the way of criticism is that at times the song sounds a bit unbalanced in terms of frequencies... Like, the higher sounds, specifically the pluck synth, are so prominent that it can sound a little piercing. But beyond that, I really like the track, and think it was one of the more professional-sounding on the TLK album (and the breakdown is absolutely brilliant, too). This is some cool progressive house

Thanks Colortwelve, there was a lot of synth layering in this track and that pluck had two instances of Z3ta+ each using six Osc's and a more simple synth playing a sub line. There was a lot that could go wrong with that mix and I know I'm am not skilled enough to make it perfect (and I didn't).

That sound (organ?) in the breakdown is my favorite sound I have ever made, again three Z3ta's playing low - mid - high each with a lot of crazy modulation so the sound would keep evolving.

Next time I will watch those piercing high frequencies.

Bump, that is if you don't mind, still would love more feedback.

As far as piercing highs go, the important range to keep an eye out for is around the 3kHz region. Humans, as a rule, are hypersensitive to that frequency. If your stuff is too present in that range, knock it down a bit.

Other than that, I don't have much to say. It's a very well done piece, although prog house is typically not my style.

That little bit at the end has me scratching my head, though.

Thanks, I will keep closer watch over those frequencies in the future, I know I tend to over do it there sometimes.

I honestly never even noticed that bit at the end and its leaving me scratching my head aswell, seems like such a rookie mistake to me. I am glad you brought that to my attention or I may never have noticed.

Listening to it again I didn't leave much room for the snare during the huge part at 6:25 and on and its kinda bothering me, does anyone agree or does it sound fine even if it wasn't my intention?
