I've just put my song 'Are you stupid?' up, I'd appreciate advice and feedback. Ta. Apologies if this is stating the obvious!

hey. I listened. When I first heard the 4 on the floor I almost hit stop. Im just so not into that stuff, but...

it actually sounds kinda cool. I dont know about "new" or "fresh" or anything like that because I dont listen to anything along these lines, but...nevertheless, sounds solid enough. Sounds like the mix could be a little more...but then again mono lofi doesnt say much.

but yeah. not too bad!

That's interesting, all my older stuff doesn't have "four on the floor" but I noticed that every tune I hear out does so I started using it and thought it gave it some "oomph"! What do you recommend instead? I used to use bass drum patterns based on real drum patterns I'd learned in real drum lessons on real drums in real life.
Hopefully everyone else will listen and not be put off by this four on the floor nonsense!

Thanks for taking time to listen and comment.

Lee.

not put off. just not my style. I did breaks. I guess based on "real real real real..." as you put it altho many disco bands had 4 on the floor played by real drummers

I just like my drums to be as tech and interesting as the rest of the sounds

dont change what you like cuz of what the rest are doing. nah.

nice one. I like melodic part that kicks in at about 1:00, I wish it stayed around a while longer and developed. the laser sound is a little cheesy/too loud tho. I'm on computer speakers tho... this track made me glad the weekend is almost here ;)

Hey I like the bass. It has that lovely formant sound you can get out of a subtractive synth. Sounds like it's forming a vowel. I like your sounds. Cool track. The only one I'm not fond of so much is the siren like sound. But heh, that's just my preference. I think it's what Knowa called the laser sound which is a better description. You might put more into the drums like hats and cymbals to help drive it. Listen to Influx's tracks. There's one on the track list I think on the music page. "Darkness" is the title I think. Different style but definately drums with umph as you say.

Nice imagination in the track. Keep them coming. Refreshing sound.

Thanks for these comments they are really appreciated, i actually agree about the laser sound now you mention it .. funny what you can miss when you've heard something often enough!

As for the melodic bit around 1.00, it does come back if you wait! What do you think it should do? Stick around sooner? I'm interested to try these ideas on a new version of it.

Can one of you confirm whether you see an image for my track? Seems it didn't show up which is a shame because it was a good picture!

One other thing .. is it acceptable to ask for feedback here each time? Do people give you feedback anyway or what?

Cheers, another track soon.

Definately ask for feedback each time. And yes, you're most likely going to get some anyway
