I'm not a newbie, Not yet a pro.

Hello everyone!
I've been learning from the forum for about 4-5 months but this is my first entry.

I started to produce music around 2006 and I have been on and of it ever since.
Now is the first time that I feel that I´m getting a somewhat ok result with my productions.
Unfortenately I don´t realy know anyone who is into House/Techno that can give me feedback on my tracks .

So I would like to ask you guys on the forum (which together have enourmus knowledge on that topic)
if you could have a listen to the track on the link below and give me some constructive criticism.

What (if anything) is good and what could be done better ?

Hey Nojdman!

Ill make some suggestions:

- Add more details. Like a couple of High Hats pattern, to add some groove.
- Make some variation on the main High Hat.
- Put a clap or a snare on the second and fourth kick of each 4 bars.
- Add a lot of background sound/noises/hits, with long tail reverb, or with other effects, etc.
- Maybe put more reverb on the main melody, and automate the dry/wet during the whole track.
- Try to make a lot of subtil changes throughout the track

Hope that helps!

Take care.

Louis

Thank you Louis! That's some great tips.
I will definitely try to use some of those
techniques in my next tune to put some more life into it.

Maybe also add some one shot type effects playing in high frequencies (perhaps with interesting delays) and have them pan around the stereo field to give the mix a little more width.
