Ben Cresswell.Ben CresswellHey all.
Started this sample heavy track after watching the Optical videos. I’m new to production and synthesis so all the feedback is welcome. I really dont know what to concentrate my efforts on first to become a better producer, so any guidance would be appreciated!

GENIE HQDefinitely captured a Halloween atmosphere from the intro in… The Minor riff and the reverbed Toms give a distinct Michael Jackson / Thriller scene, good work! 😀
You have some good features in this, especially for someone new to production, the arrangement works and the sections are not too long and you bring in and out elements at good times.
As you keep learning and pushing what you can do with fresh edits, textures, more exciting, rhythms and sound design you music will naturally evolve.
The only tip on the mix might be that the sub bass seems a bit quiet compared to the drums which are whacking nicely 😀
Ben CresswellNoted! I’ll try and trash 2 it with some saturation. Is there a better way you’d suggest though?! I have a couple more ideas for this track so I’ll repost once I’ve had some time to play around ? thanks for the feedback

What is Sample Genie?
We are a specialist platform designed to help people learn how to make underground D&B through sample packs and tutorials plus other useful information & opportunities.
What do I get as a member?
You can either join as a free member or a full member. Each month we give away a small folder of samples to free members, these are helpful little layers and sounds as well as the odd VSTi patch.
However full members get a new folder of around 80 cutting edge samples each month + a fresh tutorial from one of the team. Inside the site there is also a special forum that members use to exchange ideas, and a place where we post exclusive artist Q&A’s and other bonus material.
How do I sign up?
You just click the ‘Full membership’ tab at the top and follow the instructions, you’ll be prompted to create a new account and also a subscription via PayPal.
Do I need a PayPal account to set up a membership?
Although it’s helpful for you to be able to see your membership inside your paypal account, you can do it without one (CLICK HERE) provided you have a debit / credit card. When setting up the subscription, you can choose ‘Set up without paypal account’ which means you can do it with just a card. This can then only be managed from within your Sample Genie account.
How does Billing work?
When you first sign up, you pay the current months fee on the spot, this gives you access to the latest sample pack and tutorial library. After this you are rebilled on the last day of each month moving forward. This recurring rebilling is for the next months content. So essentially you pay for the forthcoming month a day in advance.
When I sign up do I have access to all of the previous tutorials?
over
When you sign up, you have instant access to stream every single Sample Genie monthly video form the last 11 years. That’s over 400 videos from 63 artists.
If I leave and then come back do I get to still see videos from previous months when I was a full member?
Yes, videos that were available then will become re-available again.
How do I cancel?
Really easy, you just go to account> subscription and cancel from there. You will still have access to the current month’s content, but no further re billing will occur after this.
Are older sample packs available to buy?
Not at the moment, we keep things fresh and changing each month and don’t redistribute past monthly sample packs. Once they are gone – they are gone.
