Can I have some feedback please (Page 1) - Constructive Criticism - Forums

What I suggest is more use of dynamics, quiet bits that contrast with loud bits, maybe bits without noise so that when the noise returns it sounds more at home.

I hope you can hear from someone who is better voiced in noise-based stuff.

You're not helping your reputation by retorting like that. Just type like a respectable person and don't tyyyyyyyppppeeee lliiiiiiiikkkeeeeee tttthhhhhiiiiiiisssss

But anyways, I'll bite.

They could use a lot more in the way of harmony; there's a lot of bare parts where one voice is doing something that isn't all that interesting, and more harmony and channel interaction could go a long way in helping that. Also, the melodies seemed very static and somewhat repetitive, many times consisting of long notes without much change. In general, you need more "movement" in the songs, either rhythmic or harmonic, unless you're going for an ambient, soundscape-y sound (which I don't think you are).

There isn't much low end in the songs either. If you could have a fuller bassline running underneath I feel that would improve the songs much. The wave channel works well for that. Instead of distorting and dirtying up the waveform, try something smoother. Also, turn down the volume of the other channels if the wave channel seems too quiet for you.

I have to admit that the first part of the second song sounded pretty cool with the wave channel, though. If you could keep channeling cool sounds like that but also have more structure to your tracks I think you'd makes some pretty cool-sounding things.

The point of the title was to attract people and it worked. Didn't mean to sound like a bastard or anything. : )

Anyways, thanks for the feedback. Yeah I've been trying to add more melody or bassline stuff to make them sound fuller but I find I just can't get it. I guess I'll try smoothing it out like you said and turning down the other channels. As for structure, I sometimes find that it's too easy to make it /too/ structured, know what I mean? Should I just go with it? Other than that, thanks again for the feedback. : )
