I was inspired by pytrance/techno stuff but don't really know... Still a work in progress obviously but let me know your thoughts on it.

Forgot to say something about the reverse piano sounds in the original post...
just added those right before posting it here because I liked the effect, just know that it's super rough and I didn't feel like messing any more with it right then

Hi all, So I'm working on a track and I've been struggling with a piano sound. I'm using ableton's grand piano instrument, with really only a few tweaks in eq and some reverb. I have been feeling a bit unsatisfied with it, because it's a little too raw sounding, and doesn't seem to fit snugly with t...

My glitchy house remix of Scary Monsters. I know everyone in the world has remixed this, but just wanted to play around with it and made something that I'd play at parties and such... give a listen and I'll check out a track or two of yours. http://soundcloud.com/alec-mcgovern/skrillex-scary-monster...

Thanks for posting the final mix, it's helpful to see how other musicians progress and evolve their tracks. The "original mix" is definitely sounding better, I liked the changes you made to the dynamics of the whole track. Feels much more progressive. That being said, I was still not fond...

Thanks a lot for the advice. Could you elaborate on your suggestion for the drums? I changed it so that the kick drum fades a little out of the low frequencies during the buildup so that it seems bigger when it all drops, which definitely makes it sound better in my opinion, but do you think it stil...

Thanks for the reply. Are you part of a label?

That's a nice track. The synth melody is really catchy. Is this getting released on a label?

Would love a comment or feedback on the track I'm working on-- some of it has changed/improved since this soundcloud upload but I'd still love to hear what you think.

The piano riff is dope. I would agree that your drums could be a little bigger, maybe as simple as upping the volume for them, or adding some EQ boosts. I think that if you have a well delivered rap over it it's gonna sound a lot more full but I don't really have much experience with hip hop product...

Hey everyone, I've been producing for several months now and I'm working on a track that for the first time I feel as though it could potentially be signed by a record label, but I know how easy it is to get locked into thinking like that without some outside feedback, so I would really love to hear...

ahh that's why. Yea the eq was after the limiter. Switched them and now its not clipping at all. thanks
