Who do you send in to? If you send in to channels like Proximity or Airwave then you are bound to not even get even your track listened at. Honestly, I think your songs are great and most are promote worthy but your weakness lies in mixing and mastering. Most promoters has studio monitors and they won't promote anything that doesn't sound close to a profesional mix (which is the critic I often get). My last song had a little bit too harsh highs and Momentum was overall weak.

I suggest sending it into channels with max 10,000 subs, that's what I did when I started out. No one accepted them until Agera Promotions did (he had 7k at the time). Then as you get a little better known, other promoters are less afraid of promoting your work

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*.

Dayum. Sidechain that bassline and compress/limit your drums and it will awesome.

Btw post your "studios" guys xD Here is mine:

How is it working on a laptop? At least you got good headphones and an interface...

Here's mine... (In spoilers because it's huge.)

So yeah... I like monitors, lol... Now before you crucify me for wasting money on this setup when I could be buying FL... Everything but the computer and the main monitor cost me nothing. We had the table, we had the speakers, we had the two extra monitors, we had the midi keyboard (oh I guess I did have to buy a MIDI to USB converter)...

Also, if you want to see my subwoofer and cable "management"...

Sounding really great!

Made some funky jams!

I did use a drum loop, heh...

I honestly think you shouldn't degrade other music, we all shouldn't, because we aren't better. Animals is catchy and was unique when it was released. It's a great track (just a tad bit basic mixed but still fine) it's just over played and now it's kinda in to hate on the mainstream and love Deadmau5 and Noisia. They are both great but in different regards.

Animals has way more notes in it than that video and that transcription isn't even right on the rythm and Strobe can be played as simple as the animals video (bass note in left hand and melody in right hand). Besides, that isn't even the original composition, that's the Evan Duffy version.

If it's allowed to use other's arrangements then I will just post this video then:

@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 

Yeah Gorillaz are one of my fav, if not my fav, bands and Im like that with a lot of their music, especially Dare. Weird stuff.
