hey everyone - I'd love some feedback on my latest track - 120bpm deep house...unmastered but I let my engineer worry about that. How's the arrangement etc?

thanks!!

I love the build/crescendo thing Rich, 99% of guys making music nowadays have no idea or concept how to do that.

But you're taking a little bit too long to get into the meat of the song. DJ's don't have the patience to wait that long today, so instead of writing a full length novel, you're going to have to make it into a short story.

Try adding extra sounds on the chords to reinforce that line, maybe add one on top and then add another 8 bars after that to make things even more exciting.

You show lots of potential and I wish you good luck!

wow man, I am honoured! Thanks for taking the time to listen....I actually wrote the song around the title if you see what I mean, it had to be 7 minutes long haha

maybe I will edit it down a little...but I'll have to change the title!

thanks again

Keep it the same length or even make it longer, just make it peak faster or shorter crescendos..............hard for me to explain, but I think instead of one long crescendo maybe you can have 3 or 4 or even 6-7.

thanks for looking
