(REQUEST)Pls review my dance tracks

[dmauco]

Hi all,

This is my first time ever making electronic music in my life and have them on the internet. Would you kinda give me feedback? Just shoot me down to the drain if necessary, it's my first time anyway so I expect a lot of weakness in it.

Thank you very much.

angry PopD the track reviewer here. . .

-I dig your songs except you are missing a hook. There is no recognizable pattern/melody in there that screams to me: "Hey! I am the recognizable pattern/melody in here. Check me out! !" I am in no way any type of anything resembling an authority, but it seems like you build your tracks based on some "trance" rules you have ingrained in your head. It sounds like: "okay percussion intro for 8 measures-now add high synth melody, continue for 8 measures-cymbal crash + new sound for 8 measures-drumroll, begin chord cycle here-->" Your tracks are missing that extra oomph!

I'm not sure how you engineer your songs, but I might try starting with a 1 or 2 measure melody. Work on that suckah until it doesn't stop sounding good in your brain, then construct your song from there. Break some rules, and experiment with schitt. Also find some unique wavforms. . . use different filters/fx to create a new sound, that you can't identify with the songs that you like. Some of your vocal samples are somewhat repetitive. Spread 'em out more, and see if you like the difference.

You definitely know how to create songs with tracks that don't clash, and I think that is only the first step. Experiment. . .do something that hasn't been done. . .give your song a hook

-me again

I just listened to "fresh" and you have some serious schit to work with there. Really good intro, and initial build. Pure energy. The best intro of any mp3.com track, and most other trance songs, I've heard, hands down. The way you fade tracks in and out is impressive. . . .

but, after the initial sitar phrase it just sorta plateaus. It sounds like each individual track is just sitting there doing its thing, and then one track at a time comes out and does something different. . .reminds me of a bunch of break dancers in a circle watching the dude in the middle work it, and then rotating. I think you should rearrange and build something on that fast melody track. Make all the breakdancers do their thing at once. I can hear great things buried in this song. It is very unique, and I'm sure you can take it to the next level. Work on it a phrase at a time. Throw build on top of build. I can hear a sic breakdown too, I am definitely feelin' ya

. . .so what's your gear?

String Resistance... is it Futile?

Hey there!

Don't let the title fool you.
I like the track, it's very promising.
Here is my analysis:
The beginning is bumpy and cluttered and drops really quickly into the melody. Maybe try going straight to it?

The high pitch effect at 1:26 is over powering, tone it down.
I like the melody, it's catchy and the sliding accompany is good.
There's a little blurb of "beep beep - beep beep beep" something right at the end, but the song just dies... that could use some more attention.

Overall... it's cool !
I hope this helps.
