Thanks for any feedback and up-votes, I am a beginner at creating techno and electronic music. This is my attempt at mixing loops after my first song where I re-mixed Skrillex.

I like it! Maybe a little more variation on the drum track would be good, just to break it up a little. I have some songs I just shared too, they're some kind of electronic, although I haven't used loops very often.

Cool thanks @grapthar I'll check them out! :)

Thanks! I appreciate it! I'll give you a follow to keep up on your music!

Side-chain the hat/shaker sound, also alter velocity will give some movement. Fuck it side chain everything to the kick and leave the kick in more. I think there is way to much reverb on the kick, would sound super muddy in a club as your kick gains plenty of natural reverb in that environment. The snare sounds phat nice work!! As others have said a little more variation can be super simple like just adding a clave to the percussion on some sections.

Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated! I have a long way to go yet that's for sure, but gotta start somewhere ;)
I just uploaded another one if you'd like to have a listen?

What DAW are you using?

I don't understand? I'm very much still a NOOB. I mix my stuff with Adobe Audition.

Digital Audio Workstation. I play around on Reason but I seem to never finish any tracks...

Wow if this is your first that's amazing! better than my first! haha! I just followed you on sound cloud too! Here's my newest toasty song https://soundcloud.com/routenotecornflakes23/creamshack

btw, do you use FL studios? or what program do you use?

Thanks @cornington I'll have to check out your stuff :) I used Adobe Audition.

Cool idea. So how did you do it? Mixing loops from a software package or something?

Yeah, I like to mess with loops, turn things backwards, change the key or timing...

I used Adobe Audition

Not to be a dick but the noises are a bit to random. It needs to be more cohesive throughout the song. Then again it's been years since my last gig so I might be out of date.

Keep building on it. That first forty second sounded like an amazing build up to a beat drop.

Cheers, yeah I have a few more songs since then, but I still ahve a long way to go. A lot time and effort goes into piecing it all together, but it's so rewarding, practice pays off! :)

I feel the beat. Very good for beginner!

Thanks for listening @elviento :)

hmm.. not sure which genre does this falls into.. feels like ambient... but im not sure..

But then i know zilch about edm so dont mind me here hehe.

haha thanks for the feedback :)
