RE: seeking song critique
BSK
Here's your promised review of
the way you make me feel:
I really enjoyed this track! The song structure had lots of variety, which I thought kept it very interesting. The vocal samples were very well produced from the vocoding to the eq'ing. Main synth sounds were cool. I did think it could use some work in a few areas.
First, the kick. It sounded a little weak on my end. I thought it could be brought up in the mix with some mid and low range eq boost. The mid will help give it a little punchiness and the low end will give it the dancefloor boom. When I do kick eq, I increase the gain in the mid range and then sweep the mid range frequency knob through the spectrum until I find the "punchy" frequency. I do the same fo the low range.
Secondly, the saw wave synth in the intro could use some more reverb. Maybe even a touch of cross delay on the back end too would fill the track out a bit more.
The vocal sample that starts at 2:26 seemed a little off the beat to me. May want to have another listen to this part. It may be that the whole sample just needs backed up a bit in your playlist.
Now to the vocal sample at 3:47. I liked this sample a lot, but I would bring this down in volume level, and take out some of the low range. It kind of towered over everything. The production on it was awesome it was just a little too much in my face.
Overall, this was real fun track to listen to. Please let me know when you post other stuff!
