More Housey' practice - All I Ever Wanted


Let us hear you!

I agree with Sam. The mix is basically good but a bit muddy and lacking in clarity. The kick is quite dull as well - it could use a touch more transient bite and top end. It sounds a bit set apart from everything else the way it is.

The low mids are an important area of the spectrum when it comes to the mix and can be a tricky one to get right. Too much and it can sound really cluttered and muddy. Too little and it can sound thin. Some parts in the mix sound like they could use a bit of fattening up or excitement to compensate for this, particularly some of the drums.

I'd actually be interested to hear a fat (Deep or Tech) House drop from you that doesn't have any synths or accompanying melodies. You're clearly very good at composing and arranging but the beats and bass are the weaker part of the track. Maybe try a new track that's ultra minimal and just has beats and bass, and maybe some FX or some higher frequency elements but not loads that will mask the groove elements - see how fat and full you can make the groove sound without any support first, and then add all the lush melodies and supporting sounds in afterwards. But send us the groove before you do that so we can comment on it.... it should be easier to hear what needs the most work if you do that too.

BANGERS


General Producer Chat

Thankyou @deltadio for the excellent suggestion...

This topic is for posting and starting discussions on tracks you really dig. This will not only spark interesting discussion but help with directing tutorial content too! 

So, use this topic to..... tell us about a track you particularly like, what is it about this track that blows your mind, are there sound-design, arrangement, composition facets etc. that stand out? Is there a how-did-they-do-it question you would like PT to solve?

Please link to a publicly accessible version of the song and in your 'advocacy' you should rise above the mere assertion that you dig that song.

@deltadio's example track is the lil Melodic House banger MEDUZA - Tell It To My Heart (Live Performance Video) ft. Hozier that has spawned many a remix [remix 1] [remix 2] [remix 3]  (and quite a few more). 

Let's discuss!

Req: Progressive House + Deep House + Melodic House + Melodic Techno course(s)


Member Content Requests

This is an excellent suggestion! I guess the quietness is mostly down to a mad last week with a new baby arriving this end laughing-1 and people needing to take up the slack elsewhere to make up for that. Also, the assignment finished, so things always quieten down slightly till the next one.

In any case, new bonus content on the way very shortly..... new samples as well as the next few parts in the Future Rave series we hope you've been enjoying? 

Let's get this bangers thread started too though...

In Production


Let us hear you!

Strong sound! I love the boldness. It's a simple but well put together track. There are a few tuning issues here and there, which need addressing... the higher pitched, sung vocals that come in around 1.30 are not in the same key as the rest of the track. A less obvious issue is the alternating between major and minor key - for the most of the song you're in a minor one but the main bass sound that comes in at various points has an obvious major third interval going on - this is a common issue with a lot of presets that use the 5th harmonic - these often get used in songs in a minor key!

The overall ideas you've got going on as well as the production quality, big sound etc. are all really good though, so there's huge potential!
