House Song

Here's a song I produced, was hoping for some constructive input from Zoklet as well as any harsh criticisms

So, what do you think?

I think the transition could use a bit of work, bass kick after the attempted build up was rather weak (1:30) and just weak bass in general. Whatever that was at 3:20 just needs to go. Overall, its not terrible, just needs some polish. My one big gripe is that it seems like a whole bunch of ideas thrown into one song.

Sorry for the messy post, I'm just lazy tonight.

Yeah thanks for that

Ya I get how it's pretty much a mish-mash of ideas and transitions could be longer. Thanks again!

Ok this is the second one.

Honestly, I'm a lot happier with this one, I feel it flows better and isn't as awkward. Would be eternally grateful for some more feedback/comments/justanythingreally

Thanks a ton.

Pretty bad honestly. Doesn't seem like your drums are quantized in the beginning, as was said earlier, song jumps all over the place, your white noise sweeps sound like shit, they don't start, end or modulate on time.

I'd give you some points if you were responsible for making any of the synths or sweeps yourself. Otherwise keep working at it man. These things take time.

What DAW are you using?

Ableton, yeah the synths are lightly (emphasis on lightly) modulated while the sweeps are off some pack I downloaded somewhere.

Yeah they do, I'm somewhat impatient and get pretty frustrated when it doesn't sound the way I want.

But honestly thank you for your input, I'll try and put more work into creating my own sound and not chuck sweeps about

Here is a video tutorial on white noise sweeps for Ableton. I was interested myself, I have Ableton but I rarely use and wasn't sure how to achieve the effect using Abletons native instruments.
