Hello all ! I joined this forum around 6 months ago when I first picked up my first DAW , I have never DJ'd before , never done anything musical before just always been a loving listener of music. I dug around and posted a few questions on here where I actually realised what I had indulged myself into lol, I was so taken back but the amount of knowledge needed to make music especially knowing I had to teach myself Musical theory, mxing down ie. EQing , compression and other processing ect then the production process, mastering ! Its all blown me away if Im completely honest! When I asked questions on here everyone asked to hear my music so they could give advice........ I didnt have any LOL ! So I have finally taught myself the basics in each production process to finally start making music, its been a pain staking process as you all probably know especially listening to your favourite artists and wanting to achieve similar results so bad ! So yes I am feeling a huge sense of achievement after locking myself in the studio for 6 months although I do know i still have a million miles to go, just a small milestone
So I was hoping you guys could give me some feedback on a few tracks I've finished , all comments much welcomed . The artists I look up to are the likes of Eric Prydz and Deadmau5, who both have incredibly clean mixes and I am no where near yet but Ive made a start annd im ready for honest feedback so I can improve my mix downs and production . Thanks
So the first one is called "Pitch Black" the track is very dark but i tried to be as creative as possible with as little sounds as i could fit in.

The second one is a remix of Deadmau5's - Arguru, in which i did a melodic remix with piano chords and ARP, I couldnt get the piano very clean with EQ so any comment son freq ranges would be welcomed.

The third is a track thats being worked on at the minute and is only half finished called "away" kind of a trancy progressive track. I have not yet added percussion also ....
