Ahh, commercial dance/club music, finally something I know a bit about.
Overall a good song. I could imagine some sparse female vocals over this and it going down well in a nightclub.
The different sections have enough variation to keep the song interesting and you don’t fall into the repetition trap which is easy in commerical dance.
One suggestion, there is a clap at 2:21 when the drums stop, and the bass fades in. From experience DJing, I suggest adding a delay on the final clap only, with a delay time of 1 beat and maybe 6 or 7 echos. This is so the dancefloor will be able to keep in time when dancing. Currently, the beat stops a bit too dramatically.
Thanks you two for leaving feedback, (and especially to you Pix, who has always left a lot of feedback on my tracks :] )
Yep, every producer I have spoken to has told me to increase the reverb on that last clap before the break. It’s definitely a bit jarring as it plunges into sudden silence. So I will try and fix this, as I have some DJ opportunities and would like to play this live to see how it goes.
I felt a bit cheap using the “dutch lead” and the one note bass line. It’s what all club music consists of in Korea, hence me labeling it ‘club trash’, haha. I want to try something more rhythmically challenging for my next few tracks. I much prefer other BPMs to 128, (especially 110BPM, and 140BPM.) And yet I always seem to write at 128, with a 4 to the floor.
Hopefully my next few tracks will come out at a faster pace than before. Thanks for the praise and taking an interest you too . I was also thinking of putting together some YouTube tutorials for renoise users looking to make this style of music, but I wasn’t quite sure if I was “qualified” enough yet :]
This one is well produced, rythms are lively,but I am not very fond of that kind of lead. However, I find that your first song ‘Warriors’ posted on Renoise was excellent! Keep posting songs on the forum
