Reply To: Feedback on Neuro Tune
GENIE HQEz Voilan
– Intro has a really strong musical feel and the listener is drawn in by the classical sound blended with the neuro aesthetic.
– The drop is absolutey brutal and it’s clear what this tune is about. Bass textures and agressive
– Arrangement is excellent, changes enough but not too much
The questions for you in your feedback.
Is there room for bringing some more unique identity to the track? So far we hear lots of great sounds, but sounds listeners will be very familar with. This is no bad thing, but you must always have to ask where you can bring the freshness.
This might not be in inventing totally new sounds for every track (if only it was that easy!) but more about bringing in sounds from other styles that at first look might juxtoppose; but actually work.
What if a dub / reggae sample was in a neuro tune? resampled in a tasteful way. Or a neuro reese in a liquid track? or a middle eastern sample with garage bass in a dubstep tune? basically porting something across from another world into the framework of yours to give it unique and memorable ID is a good bit of lateral thinking.
Back in the record shop days you would go in and say to the guy “have you got that tune, you know the one with the crazy flute sample before the drop?” or ” the one with the vocal xxx?”
Obviously with neuro it’s not quite like that, but still trying to bring the unqiue ID into it so it’s not just reeses and distortions and drums can be a great place to build artistic individuality and something that stands out.
In terms of the mixodwn, it’s very strong, powerful, stereo is good.
The fundamental is there in the bass, but those first harmonics 2 & 3 are maybe not as present as they could be to give the tune that really full heavy sound. Scooping them out can lose some solidity in the tune. Joe Ford has talked about this a lot in his SG videos so it could be worth revisting those if you haven’t seen them..
Overall, very powerful, very neuro and well done!
Best of luck with the tune
