Upcoming Electro House Track [Intro Teaser]

[Barbs279]

Hey guys, so i've been producing for roughly 1 month or so now, managed to get my hands on some vocals and have had a play around with the track intro for a bit. Have a listen and let me know what you think!

PS: As you can probably tell the track is still under going and the next part is the big dirty electro in your face


EDIT: https://soundcloud.com/chris-barbour2/what-have-you-got-to-lose-ft-3- Intro Edit with a hint of whats coming up after the drop (The Electro melody is still being worked on that was just a quick put together)

Thanks,

Barbs

wasn't really feeling the intro ... work on your sound choice.. it sounds too empty when the chicks voice comes in.. try layering some sounds there.. i could tell your new.. keep working you'll get better.. But anyway come check out my house release and trap beat > https://www.futureproducers.com/for...asy-trap-beat*-feed-4-feed-drop-links-450135/ .. i've produced for soulja boy and honey cocaine among others and be sure to follow me on twitter https://www.twitter.com/cocaineaudio

I would say the overall mix is a little dry. If you gave some of the vocals a small amount of reverb to add some environment and thicken that kick with some eq and compression. That kick is whats going to really add body to the song. I can tell this song in its beginning stages, but it has potential! Hope I helped at least a little. Keep it up man. -SiL en ce

Cheers for the feedback guys, greatly appreciated!

There's some great ideas and you're lucky to have a vocalist to be able to work with on your tracks!

I think, like other people have said that adding some reverbs and delays would be a good idea and making more use of some panning would open up the sound quite substantially.

Keep at it for sure!

 

[Barbs279]

Cheers Ben. I've added some panning onto the loop of the 'Oh's' on the build up

Trying to put together something special for after the drop is proving tricky haha

Sounds pretty good. I only didn't like the intro, the sounds used a bit agressive for an intro in my opinion. Also, when the songs starts it gets melodic but the intro lacks on the melodic side so maybe add a bass line to it to spice it up? Keep digging

 

[Barbs279]

Cheers Jay, yeah the beginning is pretty aggressive I was thinking about changing it up about, i guess the saw does kind of stand out a bit too much!

Try using major chords. They would accompany the vocals nicely. When the vocals come in, have some stab/pad big trance lead to accent the beat or off beat, that'l give it a bit more movement! good work tho mate for a 1 month-er! that vocal loop has a lot of potential, i like it.

As Sam has suggested.

Layer those chords up, you've got nice progression there so thicken up that sound, get some more harmony in there and it will start swinging.
Get a nice little ducking effect on it too when it drps with the kick and you've got some extra groove and blood to the track
