keshchandramusic Mar 29, 2026Music FeedbackHello Nick & Alfie, Sorry its taken me some time to get back to you! I have watched the video feedback. I have taken note of the vocal clashing and patterns. I have also really reviewed the breakdown / build up section and will try add or subtract to build more tension can definately hear more in the breakdown. For the Piano will probably try the Solina strings and use a 303 type sound or different stabs for B section drop. Overall pleased that this version is improved and will be sending another version once i apply the feedback thank you for the in depth review and speak very soon. Kesh

Hello Nick mate, Wicked to get your video feedback and transcript Im really sorry to hear about Alfie hope he is okay and gets well soon mate! I have watched the full feedback and taken my own notes. I am using Logic Prox for the project well spotted and have taken notes on the levels for the Kick and the Kick & Bass not quite gelling properly that could be the Kick causing issue or sidechaining possibly? For the vocal sections i did use Flex pitch to correct the pitch based on your previous feedback but will try adjusting the 'Oh Yeah' vocal so good shout ! For the arrangement and composition your right about the Long Pad it could come earlier say 2mins and then have a melodic part with a lower pad in the dropdown. Also i could sidechain the PADS for movement thats just a thought. I will work on the dropdown section and breakdown and try adding the SOLINA (haha) Strings i love them so could layer that with a different pad maybe would give it a nice rave vibe in E Flat Minor. So really i just need to sort out the levels in general and get it all balanced the Kick was set around 6dB with compression and saturation so maybe coming in to hot! I will work on adding some more ravey elements that will get this song closer to being a final version. I will apply the feedback and see if i can get the breakdown to flow better and and sort the other points out really super helpful mate and of course really appreciate this as always i really love your music since Flo Jam love how your have evolved your tunes. Cheers Kesh
chillbob93 Aug 28, 2025Music FeedbackSo glad I discovered this platform. I used to go and see Dusky when I was at uni about 10 years ago and feel blessed to have some form of direct line of contact with them via my music. The feedback on my mix was good and on time from the boys and I will be using them again. I think maybe I introduced a little bit of confusion when I said I didn't have access to the project (but what I meant was I don't have access to the production file (I still have the stems on separate tracks in mixdown project) - so I could have been a bit clearer on this my end. The most helpful bits for me personally were when they provided an additional layer of detail - like what slopes to use on an EQ to prevent phasing in the low end, how to prevent resonance build up whilst protecting the dynamics of the track, specific M/S EQ moves that would protect the brightness of the track whilst reducing hissing in the sides etc, how to add some top end to the track with some specific moves on certain buses/tracks rather than just adding a shelf to the mixbus. This is really the level of detail I needed to hear. I also felt a bit confused on the settings I needed to supply my track at for mastering and dusky cleared up some things I felt a bit worried/unclear about. Additionally, what I found super useful was getting their take on the one most important thing I should address VS what the mastering engineer will probably address. This was helpful to me because I'd rather a mastering engineer make some of the changes over me, given that they'd do a better job. I've been noodling around with various things for weeks so it gave me a sense of relief in that sense. Moving forward I would use Dusky again for mixdown feedback and I'm keen to get their feedback on the development of tracks too. Cheers boys, appreciate your time!

arniewaymusic Feb 14, 2025Music FeedbackSuch excellent and detailed feedback, made me analyze some elements in my track from an angle which I didn't consider. Really appreciate all the tips guys - thank you!
eob27 Jan 10, 2025Music FeedbackThank you guys for some very in depth insight. As a new producer I still have a lot of experimenting to try and a lot more hours to put in so I really appreciate you pointing me in the right direction with it.
- Tholin Jan 10, 2025Music Feedback

MelangerLeMiel Aug 2, 2024Music FeedbackHey guys ! Wow. That was really in depth! I was expecting a 30 second video of more bullet points rather than a whole depth into the process of creating and I salute you highly for taking the time for the feedback. It really does a long way in growing as an artist so I really appreciate it. i also haven’t gotten it mastered yet nor mixed and levels/equalising stuff has never been my forte. That being said I’m happy that that’s one of the takeaways and also thanks for the juxtaposition comments I do agree. I’d love to send you the track when it’s a bit more finalised. Would I have to send it through here again ? Bless, Seb
- RRockyFerguson Apr 26, 2024Music Feedback
Really useful feedback. Loads of detail and in depth explanation (much more than I thought there would be!) and overall very constructive. Thank you!
Hotboxx Apr 7, 2024Music FeedbackThanks again for the amazing feedback guys! I'll definitely send you all future tracks and promos on IG. Thanks again for the detailed feedback1
- MMaxKostenko Mar 31, 2024Music Feedback
Thanks a lot, guys!
Beatune Mar 2, 2024Music FeedbackThank you for your very thorough feedback. You've brought up some very good points that I wasn't aware of. I'm still struggling a bit to update the drums and make them cleaner. I had to let the track rest and come back to it with fresh ears. I'll be happy to submit an updated version once I'm happy with the result. Your comments and suggestions are definitely very helpful, thanks and all the best!
- Adam After Hours Feb 13, 2024Music Feedback
Really appreciate the super detailed feedback! The guys went deep on the track and shared a lot of new insights that I hadn't considered.
Banchan Jan 19, 2024Music FeedbackHey Nick & Alfie, thank you so much for this valuable feedback! It's incredibly helpful. I was really in a bind wondering what to do next, but know exactly now how to approach it: - enhance the space (reverb/delay sends) for drums, and bass (never thought of that!) - rearrange to bring the big moment earlier to maintain the listeners' attention (and even shorten the track) - Bring out the vocals more (I was always torn on this sample. Might find something different in this case) I truly was blown away by this feedback. Will definitely be sending more tunes in :) Also looking forward to your stop in Chicago! I'll be on support that night. Don't worry, I'll be complementing your label sound that night. Congrats on 10 years!
- bbenbux Jan 19, 2024Music Feedback
Thank you for the in-depth feedback guys, it's really appreciated. This is a track I've been unable to make my mind up on for a while now which is why I sought out your thoughts on it. You've helped me notice things I never would have considered by myself which is great! Will definitely take on board your comments and will get back to the drawing board with this one I think. Probably end up making something completely different with some of the more stronger elements haha. Will certainly look to send over the new and improved version once it's ready. Thanks again!
- Hotboxx Dec 5, 2023Music Feedback
