Workshop #106: Beat to Base by Widescream

on Aug 12th 2010 with 3 comments

At Audiotuts+ we regularly put up a reader track for workshopping and critique (find out how to submit a track). This is how it works: you upload your song, and every week or so we’ll publish one here and step away from the podium. The floor is yours to talk about the track and how the artist can fix problems in and improve upon the mix and the song.

This track has been submitted for your friendly, constructive criticism. They have put their track (and their heart and soul) in your hands to learn and get useful feedback.

  • Do you enjoy the song or track itself? Does it have potential?
  • Can the arrangement be improved?
  • How did you find the mix? What would you do differently?
  • What do you enjoy about the rhythm track? What can be done to improve it?
  • Is the choice of instruments relevant and effective for the style/song?
  • Are the lyrics (if any) effective? Does the style, arrangement and genre of the song suit them?
  • Can you suggest any specific techniques that might improve the track?
  • Do you have any other constructive feedback?

    i’m digging it, I normally hate music like this.. maybe its the chiptune influence that I love so much…

    plus that is one hell of a bass drum!

    very fun track! would probably be a lot of fun to mix live especially during the breakdowns in the center of the song, although as a standalone song that breakdown is a little long, making the song a bit longer than it possibly needs to be.

    I’d love to hear the bass pushed forward a bit more and stretched out a bit so you can really feel it, but that’s just me, as it does fit with the tone of the song (chippy and poppy)

    the only thing I’d suggest is to play with the panning on the vocals, since it’s not a verse or chorus or anything, doesn’t need to be dead center, and since it is center, it doesn’t pop out as much.

    overall very cool groove, and like zatotron said that kick really cuts!
