Really good stuff, although the part that's in the first one sounds more porter like since he doesn't usually use portamento on his leads, but he does love that bell-like sound for them. So if if you're going for exact porter I would switch that up, but it sounds fine if you're not going for that. The same kind of goes for the kick, although I would have to mess around with it in FL and stuff to tell you what's really "wrong" with it and I'm super busy this week, so I can't, sorry

Ouch

Anyway congrats Hinkick, 100 subs in a day is pretty great stuff. Not to brag but i've experienced some pretty similar stuff. One time I got two subscribers in two days, but you know, no big deal. Not making it a competition or anything *sniff*.

That was pretty good. I liked the music, but i wll have to agree the name is a little cheesy

Congrats on 500 followers btw. Don't know how long you've been over that threshold, but congrats anyway.

Also here's a thing I'm planning to submit to balloon party. I don't know if you guys know what that is or not. Matrix might.

Anyway, I've had it kicking around my drive for a couple months now, but they don't need to know that eed to mix and master before it in, and I'm kind of dreading that. It's my biggest file with about 60 tracks. I don't even know how may instruments. 20-30 maybe? I think the most I have going at once is 18.

So yeah that should be fun >.>

 

@Chime (**Prounoncing it like chaiym)

Well the lenght shouldn't be more than 5 min in an electro house song tbh. I meant putting in more breakdowns into what you already have right now. Define the different parts of the song clearer

 

This is just preference but your song is kinda holding the same emotion trough the whole song. I like to shift the emotion and feel of the song through the different parts of it. But still keeping it to like max 5 melodies. Repetition with different feels are very powerful.

 

Expressing different emotions in songs are mainly done through fundamentally switching instruments (go from hard lead to pluck for instance). Most often, the drop's main melody is teased in the breakdown (today it's most often in the buildup but you get it) but with a completely different feel in Electro House.

 

 You gaijin, you... (that reminds me though, I really have to get working on making a new alias...)

And eh, I don't limit my songs to a certain except under 10 minutes usually. I'm sure if you looked through even wolfgang and deadmau5' stuff alone you'd find electro songs over 5 min (I use those two because they're kind of the kings of old school electro house). Heck Strobe is over 10 minutes long which is generally unheard of in electronic music. Song length is of the things I worry about least when I make music. I usually make the whole thing and only really check the time when I'm done. That way I don't limit my creative process. I can always cut bits out if I really feel it's too long or think it's too repetitive. Turning a long song into a short one is pretty easier. The other way around not so much. Also i kind of had a trap breakdown thing going on for emotion changes, but i cut it out before I uploaded because i'm still not sure I like it and it's pretty rough.

Anyway speaking of Strobe, I was demonstrating to my mom today why I respect deadmau5' music but not martin garrix's, which involved listening to this:

It got me thinking. I think you can tll you've made a great track when you can play it with pretty much any instrument, or combination of instruments and still retain the same beauty and emotion with it.

And in case you're wodering this is what I was comparing it to...

Strobe would be a pretty high level piano piece. Animals is like grade 2 or 3 tops 

I don't know if you know who telepathics is (she's worked on a couple tracks with some semi famous people in the EDM community, most notably Nitro Fun (who is also her boyfriend I believe)) but she held a remix contest where she uploaded those vocals and said people could do whatever with them, royalty free. They were pretty rough (her mic is kinda crappy lol) but I can upload and post the original file and my EQ of it if you want.

And the contest winner if you're interested:

Pretty good stuff. He did remind me a lot of Volant, but not as complex as his stuff. Idk i you've ever seen screenshots of hist porject files, but... 

...yeah. Pretty complex.

Also though i would mention how weird it is to hear Volant be mentioned beside someone like AU5. Been following him since like 5k subs on soundcloud under his first alias, maybe less. And he was on my radar months before that. Sorry just had to let the hipster in me out for a little.

But yeah, all the "unknown" artists I follow are actually pretty big these days, and you guys probably already know them. So this is the only guy  can think to post. Discovered him very recently when I "lost" to him in a remix contest like 2 weeks ago:

Hmm I did use reverb, but very lightly and in small rooms because that way the bass from the synths don't drop out that much. Oh well. That's the prolem with trying to review pretty much any audio/song. Very little definite stuff you can point fingers at as "wrong". But thanks, means a lot. Will let you guys know if it does happen

Oh and here's the screenshot. It's actually a prettyy old song, so the way I organized is a little outdated lol.
