Ableton Forum

Hi all,

I'm a logic user and have recently moved over to Ableton for its session view (and the APC40). I like the idea of "performing" recordings, and the linear nature of Logic was just a bit too confining to me. I'm slowly learning Live 8 Suite, and already love a lot of the features it has and the ease of use in session view. The controller helps for sure.

Anyway, I was hoping some of the more seasoned composers/arrangers could possibly spend a little bit of time and critique a couple of tunes I created. The songs are two separate remixes of the same song that I did for a contest on Indaba. One is club, the other is minimal.

I have only been physically doing this for about 9 months, although I've been studying the concepts for a couple of years. I guess I am just looking for a good gauge of where I am sitting after this amount of time from folks who are much more experienced than I am in this area of music. I'm a classical pianist and have studied for a long time under some pretty reputable teachers in the academic realm, so feel free to be as critical as you must to help me be better! I have a tough skin!

Thanks in advance!

my first recommendation is to use soundcloud to upload your songs

http://soundcloud.com/

Ok, I'll do that right away! Thank you!

Ok,

Soundcloud ready! Link is in top message. Thanks!

The minimal piece needs more top end / louder hats.

Also, i would put a bit more work into the drums as they aren't really hitting the right spot. try adding some more elements. Check Timothy Allens drums tutorial perhaps. .

i was quick, downloaded it, damn can you guys not tag tracks properly?

what the hell is so difficult about it? he?

i don't have time to listen now, i certainly would like to give some feed back, do you think in a download inbox where a week roughly 30-80 tracks arrive i know the hell already tomorrow who to get back to?

/end rant/

Also, please post your work in the Link Your Music forum from now on instead.

ah dont be so uptight, who ever goes there.

An occasional post on here breaks up the monotony of some of the other posts I reckon.

Point taken TS.

Wouldn't want to get in the way of another Maschine thread, would we...

Yup definately needs more top end on the minimal mix.
