Hi,

I'm new to the board and I'd really like some feedback on my song. It is called Past Times and fits the chillout genre quite well.

Sorry for the misleading topic, but enjoying a gin and tonic while listening to this song is not just a bad idea, but also a great suggestion.

Cheers!

halooo. yes. piano's a bit quiet, dontcha think? either that or the drums & bass are too loud. but it's the same thing. try and simplify that piano melody bit in the break & make a feature? maybe? ok. yes.

everything I type may be wrong 'cause of these crap little computer speakers but the sounds seem a bit ordinary or common, like maybe they're presets, and everything seems so upfront and direct, like a synth plugged right into the sound card, lacking any back to front depth and space.

preamps, tubes, amp simulators, miked amps, actual and simulated spaces. good things. burnish the surfaces, take some of the gloss off. but like I said, these are impressions from a lo-fi file through some polk audio crap, your mileage may vary.

Thanks for the replies, it's really helpful to get some real feedback.

Paullyboy8440: Thanks man, by the way I love your breaks.

bedwyr: Yeah the piano is a bit quiet, it's not that obvious in the hifi version.

damballah: I wanted a clean sound, but not a sterile sound though, hehe. Some of the sounds are preset yes, 50-50.

By the way, I disagree with k that you shouldn't put your good sound quality versions of your tracks online because somebody might rip- or bootleg them. High quality is so much better, especially stereo.. hehe. What if artists started releasing cds in low quality so that nobody would bootleg it?

I can put up a link with the high quality version of it if anyone's interested.

Cheers!

you cant do anything about CD, but K's point was that what if you DID put up a quality track and YOU never got to see it to fruition because someone ganked it

yet another one that thinks his stuff is just too damn good for lofi.

Yeah, I like this a lot - it's the kind-of stuff I'd like to produce if I could bother to sit down with the sampler long enough. Or more to the point, if I had time to spend days and days on music - like I will this summer.

But yeah. The piano chords are nice, tight sevenths and ninths, it works, the kick's nice, and the bass is pretty good on my shithouse PC speakers - would love to hear a hi-fi version. It's not outstanding, but certainly pleasant, and fulfils its needs.

It has nothing to do with that I think my music is too damn good for lofi, it's just that hifi sounds better.

Paleface: thanks man, I'll email you the link for the hifi
