Zeta5 - New Track
Let us hear you!
As per usual, your track is great Manix. I'm always excited to hear what you've been cooking up! I know you've tagged it as melodic techno, and I'd say this is almost blurs into trance, due to the interplay of the kick and bass, which I'm always a big fan of. Lots of huge, emotional euphoric synths and pulsing basslines. Right up my street

Hey Petter this is great!
I know you said you had an initial goal which was to be minimal, but at the end of the day, if you have a good idea, just go with the flow and let that creativity out! And it's worked really well.
You've obviously got a natural musical style, with good ear for arrangement (the interplay between bass, beats, horn/synths and vocals), and the mixdown, as well as making the track flow without getting stale/boring.
Honestly really good! Not much I could say in terms of improvement. perhaps the hi hats are a bit low quality? That could be some kind of down-compression on the site though, unsure.
Keep it up!

thanks @samuelclouston. Need to do some minor edits in the arrangement as well. Thanks on the mix advice. Ive noticed my kicks can be a bit thumpy. High End can be a funny one too. Yeah its my track

Yeah small mix advice aside, I'm a big fan. Any kinda organic sampling (like the guitar in your track) is always a massive thumbs up from me. Looking forward to hearing more from you!

Not sure if anyone else in here is a wicker man nut like me, and have sadly let it shape your life a little too much (lol), but I recently sampled the soundtrack song 'lullaby' into a dreamy sort of ambient house track called 'Midsummer', and because of the original samples beautiful descending Dorian melody, it became a study in modes, and I tried to write as many interlocking polyphonic melodies to get a real dreamy feel. Let me know what you think!
Also run through my friend's Reel to Reel tape machine for fun

Trying my luck with some tech house style - while watching Simon Shackleton's course (which is really good btw!)
Since Rob encouraged me to start off with the groove only, I hereby oblige. This is the beats and bass from what I hope will be the drop section (gonna be 16+16, but only included 8+8).
Drums are samples I found and processed a bit. Bass rhythm is adapted from a sample, but I used two instances of Vital to create the sound for it - and of course some EQ, compressors and distortion.
Now waiting with bated breath for the 'judgement'

Hey this is great!
I know it's just a clip from a section, but it sounds very strong. The drums and bass, the essential heart of a track, are pretty damn good here. Simple, catchy and groovy, with nice punch.
I don't think we can do too much artistic judgement til we here the finished track...

Using electric bass as a sound design tool
General Producer Chat
I recently bought a bass guitar, and I was wondering if anyone has experimented with playing in a bassline, then messing with it to get something wholly un-analog sounding. Let me know!
