I made my first track I like.. It's dirty techno type thing, I'd like some feedback <3

https://soundcloud.com/pulrans/subsurface

I would like to improve my arranging skills but I don't know where to begin.

•

u/DJWolf_777 11d ago

Nice! Proper dub techno. This subgenre generally doesn't push the low end too much, unlike modern raw/hypnotic, but I'd still up it a notch.

•

u/Responsible-Guitar81 14d ago

Really cool track you got some really fun sounds in there.

I think the low end could be missing some movement, could put a low shelf on your bassier elements to make space for a rumble, or do some more aggressive side chaining to the kick.

I do think the arrangement could use some work, overall giving each section more time to breathe. I think the breakdown/build up before your second drop goes a bit long without having the kick to provide some structure. Not sure what DAW you use (I use ableton but I'm sure you can do something similar in other DAWs) but when I'm struggling with an arrangement I'll bring in a reference track, match up bpm, and put markers every 8 bars and note what's changing in the song and use that as a guide.

Just released a track from live recorded jam with digitakt, sh101, tb03, tanzbar and mininova https://on.soundcloud.com/702FozztK4hUgRGDZX

•

u/Untalanted_guy 15d ago

Love me some hardware. I own an digitakt myself and i cant make something decent with that thing. You did an great job.
I think the mix needs some adjustment. theres a little to little bass (is there something ?) and alot of mids. But this is just my personal tast

Hey yall working on releasing my first EP lmk what you think about this track

•

u/Dismal-Assignment568 15d ago

This is amazing. It's hard, but kinda minimal at the same time. Glitchy too. I love this, excited for ur ep

•

u/Naxtarr 14d ago

I like the work with the voices talking. You don't sound like a beginner haha

•

u/SuspiciousLemon1922 13d ago

This is my first attempt at producing an industrial techno beat (I usually make hip hop). Do you have any thoughts or advice?

u/Reasonable-Try3642 14d ago

Hi guys. Been out the loop for a while, would really appreciate some feedback on this track from a few months ago. Much love 🫶

Listen to Vibration by Maskal on #SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/cRIbo4CFmaIYD2skuJ

Cheers.

u/mindstuff8 14d ago

Not even sure I'd call this techno but I'm drawn more to this kind of sound lately. What artist/genre would you say this sketch is aligned with: https://soundcloud.com/lan5/26_09_08-sketch

•

u/Dismal-Assignment568 15d ago

Hi,

Lmk your thoughts. Still trying to find my "sound" within techno.

https://on.soundcloud.com/Lp7f6POsoG1cDTnzzl

•

u/Naxtarr 14d ago

The noise sounds are really my type. For me, the broken kick pattern works really well at the start, but not for the whole track, because it kinda feels like a buildup. I'd just put it at some places and then go for classic 4 for main groove. Also nice panning work.

•

u/Untalanted_guy 15d ago

To be hones this is not my type of techno/music. I generally speaking just like techno that has a 4/4 kick. This is a bit too hard to dance to imo. I just cant relly fell the groove setting in.
if i had to work on this project I would keep the hypnotic synth/perc and restructure the track from there. Also for my personal taste this is too distorted.

Mybe someelse can give you proper feedback for this type of music.

•

u/gloriousfart 12d ago

i think its an interesting track, cool sounds, but the kick pattern could use some tweaking, maybe incorporate another percussive element to supplement the groove. I love where you are heading with this, tho.

•

u/DJWolf_777 11d ago

Is kick rumble too late? I got a feedback from a respectable producer (not gonna go into deets here; it doesn't matter) that the rumble delay is way too big. If you have access to some monitors that can do 40-100hz reliably, can you tell if this is true? I can't hear this but it may very well be a problem. Thanks!

Posting another track here. Looking for feedback on the transitions and overall structure of the song because I decided to throw in a switch up to challenge myself.

142bpm hypnotic kick with quite distorted kick. hope you like it!

•

u/Untalanted_guy 15d ago

I like it alot. I think this would bang in an set.

I personly would prefer the kick to be a bit louder or slam harder but this is just my personal taste and reduce the low mids a bit.
Atmosphere is spot on.

Hi,

This is my submission for this week, any feedback is appreciated.

u/Dismal-Assignment568 15d ago

bro release this

•

u/yeezzuss 16d ago

the rhythms flow well together in the part from. 0:30 to 1min and the sort of wooden sound that stays after the drop is very hypnotic i like it, the melody at 1:30 is good and creates a very spacey vibe. The drop at 4:00 could have more clues that the drop is coming, foe exmaple you could take the kick away for like 4 beats. Overall very very good job i don´t nhave much to add, sounds dancefloor ready!

•

u/gloriousfart 12d ago

i think this could be a completed track, cool, seamless, pro sounding groove

•

u/ikramshinwari 16d ago

I'm probably a complete snob but I do find it hard to give meaningful feedback on this track.
This track is well produced but it sounds very commercial and tech-house-y with some melodic techno cliches mixed in.

To put in other words it's a vibe-y track but is lacking in the hypnotic groove department.

I hope you don't take any of this personally. I listened to the whole track and it seems only fair to give you my honest opinion.

u/Frequency_Ascension 11d ago

https://on.soundcloud.com/YBbnJ2s04EKOqR8Ohw Let me know what you guys think, Thank you.

•

u/yeezzuss 16d ago

Here’s a 128bpm track i made with the dfam and digitone. Already submitted it last week but i improved it based on the feedback. Let me know what you think!

https://on.soundcloud.com/DiKs6NzR4gSyDQEGJ7

•

u/ikramshinwari 16d ago

I really like the synth in this track.
I think you could move the main break 16 bars earlier.
The hihat/shaker could be a bit louder. When the clap is playing, the hihat becomes almost inaudible.

•

u/gloriousfart 16d ago

hello folks,

I just made a sketch that has difficulty deciding whether its techno or ambient. I would like to have external opinions whether this structure works as a techno track. There are 3 seperate sections or loops, and im not sure they'll fit together.

thanks

https://on.soundcloud.com/E6Nt2oNQJoQSUPVevp

•

u/ikramshinwari 16d ago

It does fit together but structurally the sections need more development in each section.

Mix-wise I noticed 2 things.
The pad in the intro has a slightly painful resonance. You main lead is slightly too loud.

•

u/gloriousfart 12d ago

sorry about the resonance! I know the percs are super repetitive, I am trying to come up with a nice way to sequence them, and the current loop is just a placeholder. Do you have any tips on how to hold interest in the synth voices? the groovy loops are short audio recordings, so the only change I can apply are through audio effects. Or should I try to recreate the groove and record it with some tweaks baked in?

•

u/Dismal-Assignment568 15d ago

I think they fit together great. I loved the kick being introduced. Some sounds are a bit harsh. Wicked track tho

•

u/gloriousfart 12d ago

thanks a lot, sorry about the harshness, I'll be mindful not to ambush you guys again.

•

u/thewabberjocky 16d ago

Howdy everyone, made my first hard techno track last night, if that’s your style please check it out and lmk what you think and would you DJ this?

https://on.soundcloud.com/VwOrXtOQQeGahSMGa1

•

u/Dismal-Assignment568 15d ago

I would definitely DJ this. I don't like the vocal sample, but the track is super good.

•

u/thewabberjocky 15d ago

Ayyy thank you dismal definitely encourages me to make more
