hey guys I got 2 tracks up that need some
input. First one is called Dravel and the
second one is called Rock it On. Expect
something with a break type sound. I'm trying
to do my own thing but I need some input.
good or bad? tell me what you think.

hey thanks for the response! I prefer the first
one myself also.

Anyone else have any comments? I really
could use some constructive criticism. I like
doing music but I feel I'm not doing my best. I
end up seeing how they way I want to make a
tune but it never turns out right. What do I lack
and what is memorable. I'm pretty open to
what you guys have to say.

i liked dravel...haven't heard the other... but i think you could've yanked the scratch/slice sound just a bit earlier. the song cleans up after it disappears> and heads into a very nice forward direction. but i do think you might find greater reward once you try to inject something a little more you...a little more personal into it.
the song is sweet and bumping in a nice upbeat loungy way....but maybe you're playing it just a bit on the safe side?

Cheers Panama,

Dravel is a nice track, I especially like the way you handle drums and percussion. For my taste, it's a bit minimalistic, but hey, I like minimalistic stuff

. My only concern is that the song doesn't really seem to progress from its starting point. The vibe is great though, so maybe all you need to do is to pick one sound, do something different with it and try to find a context, where it works. (I would start with that flanged pad sound, but that's just my personal preference.

good comments! this helps a lot. Maybe I'll
rework dravel-been down on myself with the
music. mcc, I agree with your impression. I did
play it on the safe side... Could you elaborate
a little more on what you said: "a little more
personal".

rags- that would definitley be the sound I
would dig into more. flange pad that is. I feel
there is potential in the beat and the loungey
pad. it could work into something more.

thanks for taking the time to comment. late

well....for personal i simply mean something which is not sampled or a sample which is handled in a most unique manner. something which makes you feel you're going a little deeper into the artist's head....heart etc. usually a melodic element...maybe something romantic or which rings of an old childhood melody creeping back at ya. and don't get down on yourself about the music. just keep at it and have fun with it and if it eludes you....keep chasing it. she likes to be chased. that's why so many of us do it.

man. I had a huge paragraph typed but I hit the
clear button. doh!

shit its fun, I have an amazing amount of
tracks, but they never sound right months
later. Trusting my results is where I have
problems. The chase is definitley still on. just
time to re-evaluate.

okay... I took some of your suggestions for the Dravel track and created an extended version. Tell me what you guys think. It's now called: 'Smooth Effects'
