Scott – Kenada posted in the group WTMO-Track Feedback
Hey all, it’s been a while. Really happy with how this Melodic Deep House Number has come along. Any and all thoughts are welcome.

Thanks Piv. Thinking a solve for that could be the reducing the db at fader or low shelf and adding transient to keep the level consistent.

That did it. 6DB shelf, and make up the gain with smack attack to reshape the kick a little. Might do some more work to the vocals, and maybe add a piano under the main synth for color. Or, maybe she’s done?

Realy nice track Scott, reminds me of some of Hot Chip’s deeper stuff which is a big compliment from me. Only issue I found was there was a bit too much saturation on the instruments, seemed like you could tone it down on the bass and leads for a cleaner sound – got particularly noticable around 2:40 ish, just felt like everything could be dialed back more. Otherwise sounding great, look forward to hearing more.

I’ll take that compliment, cheers mate! Also a huge HC fan here. Yes, there’s a filter that’s opening on the Dotted 4th main lead that’s driving that section. Will try leaving the filter movement but perhaps dialing back the decapitator a bit.

So much better. Melodic Techno is not kick focused, its just there making the groove. 🙂 This is by far the best you have made. The saturation Ben is talking about seems right. Do you open a filter a bit that makes your saturation sound more dominant, Now I didn’t notice it on first run. Maybe because I listen on speakers. Second time I noticed it, but it didn’t sound bad on them.
Will give them another go on normal “hifi” yamaha speakers later today and see what they tell me. But damn what a track

I know what you mean about headphones vs speakers. Definitely more noticeable on the cans than monitors or hifi. Will see what reducing the saturation a bit does.

Took 7DB shelf out of the bassline too. Reduced the saturation and filter cutoff of the main synth to open the mix up. Added a vocoder to the vocal which found it being way more in-line with what I’d originally had in mind. Thanks for the feedback, made a big difference. https://soundcloud.com/kenada/this-endless-night-2/s-jbKzTGFd02y?si=c1ff2f78b3e641658690de8ece2f4301&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Hey Scott nice work has good groove /feel i like those stabs in at 1.20 sound cool and has a good chord progression nice work mate

Really great track.
A mixnote. Your kick is really heavy and eats up a lot of space in the mix. It can be turned down or as a last resort, turn the deep lows on it down with a shelf.
Other than that it sounds really good.
