Something Real [Not really EDM, not sure on genre]

Sounds awesome! I especially love the intro, Its pretty epic. I also love the arpeggio hanging in the back of the song, it seems to tie it all together. NICE WORK!

thanks for all the great feedback! Ill try and sort out the top end. ive been thinking about changing the kick... i dont know yet. ill work on adding some sort of bass too and making the drums bigger. thanks!

Sweet track I would just say a bit faster and bassier. Very catchy tune tho

[jawgawn]

Nice melody... the breaks sound tight and a little dubstep stylish to me rather than IDM but i also have trouble setting genres so.... :/ nice job though

[Ill City]

Nice track but I would give more bass to the kick and increase a bit the volume of the drum if I was you. Otherwise, excellent job:)

This is great! really epic sounding!

Im gonna comment on the drums since that is what I am most confident with.

The hats for my preference have too much high end. its too offensive in comparison to the huge power of your snare.

Furthermore i would eq some of the lower end out of the whitenoisey build up into each snare and take a little bit of the ring and boost a bit more around 100hz for the kick. apart from that the drums are beautifully eqed.

one last thing, maybe a ride cymbal to give it a really flowing drum pattern ( simple one on every crotchet pattern?)

hope this helped!

There have been a lot of comments, so if i repeat points sorry lol, a few things.

1. I really, really think you should try again in making this a prog house song, I think it has so much potential that way also maybe add a high filter weep and some noise before the drop, so take away the bass then bang it back in I think a strait subbass off beat (ala beautiful world by Tiesto and Mark knight) might fit in really well, or it might not lol but it think it's worth a try

2. When all the melodies are in it's a little piercing, If you haven't already compare your EQing of the high synths to check they don't clash too much with each other

Serious potential for a banger here

The intro is fantastic. It reminds me of Portal 2 music. It's got this great epic, foreboding feel to it that just can't be beat. The reverse before the drop builds up some nice tension, and got me hoping for a brutal eardrum assault. But what I got was better Wow. Wow. Wow. This drop is beautiful and anthemic and hands-in-the-air triumphant. I love it. That reverse snare does a good job of making everything feel like it's moving in slow-motion, which is a good thing. As Dave said, some more sub would help fill the drop out, but otherwise, fantastic. The reverse after the drop, leading into the outro, is nice and tense. It gets you worried for what's about to come, but then... Nothing. It's a fantastic release of the epic feel you've built up throughout.

This is a fantastic track. You play up the dynamics wonderfully, your chord progression and your melodies are great, and it doesn't overstay it's welcome nor does it end too soon.

This song is beautiful. It makes me want to raise my arms in the air and just drift away to a happy place where music is everything. Thank you for this. You've earned yourself a follower

nice catchy melodi and awesome synth in the intro. that other one that comes in second could use abit of work i think you need to go over the midi notes, make sure therse no odd sounding gaps. also i wouldt go right on the melodic part at 1:00 but rather lay down a baseline or some percurssion and then bring in the melody later. its kind of a weak climax after the long intro

[djerrund]

I like your sound.
The kick should be "fuller" harder?
I like the idea of using a dubstepish drum rythm but I wouls suggest to make it a fuller beat. I think there should be more going on in your drum beat if you want to use such a dubstep sound.

The background sweep synth is very nice!

I like the overall sound! and you should really try to make that electro drop, because I think it could really work here.

Nice work.
