Get Music Feedback from Efdemin

Thank you so much for your valuable feedback, Philip. I updated the hi-hats as you suggested and the track sounds much better now. Thanks again!

Thank you for your feedback! I will definitely try to remove some elements from the main distortion and working with subgroups. best!

hi Phillip - Thanks for listening! Apologies for the late review - I greatly appreciate your feedback and have taken your your opinions on my track on board. Yes this distortion was intentional however i may of overdone it a little :) Reminder note to self - Never send Efdemin a demo with a overly distorted kick drum. Thanks for your kind words on my structure and the feel of my track and the tip you shared regarding ducking etc - I should of send you my other finished tracks as they have waaay less distortion. Anyways thanks again and bests - Nabil

Thanks a lot for listening my track with such an acuity :) Your compliments moved me and your final advices are precious.

Hey, vielen Dank für dein Feedback! Freut mich, dass dir der Track erstmal gefällt - ich versuche natürlich noch an den Beats zu arbeiten - was ich mitnehmen konnte, dass es "nett" ist, weil es beim Bügeln nicht stört. ;-) Mach mich aber auf jeden Fall noch mal ran und versuche da bissl Spannung reinzubekommen, so dass es nicht mehr nur tuckert - sondern auch etwas fordert. :)

Hi Phillip! It's kind on crazy to hear my track in the background while you are talking :) Your comments are very useful and I will work it through to make it more of a banger and less mellow :) Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for the heartwarming feedback Phillip, it means a lot! I'm really glad that you liked my sound and resonated with the ideas therein. Your thoughts on simplicity were reassuring. And I'm so happy that you're keen on playing my track and also recommend it for being released. I very much appreciate the advice to try and make instruments sound a bit more abstract (ie. you can't identify which instrument produced the sound but it still feels organic and natural, if I understood correctly). And also the advice to add a little rhythmic pattern to create tension. Would love to send you more tracks in the future over Instagram (@jai_juu) or any other preferred platform if you're keen :) Thanks again! Best wishes, Jai

Hallo Phillip, Du hast das Gefühl, welches von dem Song ausgeht sehr schön beschrieben. Ich würde den Titel "Hinterland" wählen, da ich das Bild im Kopf habe, man fährt aus der Stadt ins Blaue und alles ist gut. Wir klemmen uns diese Woche hinter den Song, denn fertig werden ist immer ein schönes Gefühl. Danke auch für deine Ideen, sie werden uns behilflich sein. Liebe Grüße Steffi

Thank you so much for listening! It means the world to me how much you liked it. This song resonates with me more than any song I've made, and for you to feel so strongly about it gives me a lot of confidence. In the days leading up to your feedback response, I was plagued with self doubt, questioning parts of the song/mix etc. and to hear your feedback confirming that the track was finished just gave me an ecstatic boost. Hearing the feedback from an artist like yourself who I listen to and respect greatly is a little surreal for me and I'm so thankful for echio and you for the opportunity!

Hallo Phillip, erstmal vielen Dank für dein Feedback! Es freut uns, dass du OINK (eigentlich fast so wie es ist) gut findest. Auf unserer Instagram Seite _cosym kannst du dir gerne ein Bild von uns machen. Bis auf einen Song auf der 1. Echio Compilation haben wir noch nichts veröffentlicht. Danke für Dein Interesse an unsere Arbeit. Ganz liebe Grüße Steffi

Hi Philipp Thanks a lot for your words, some tears went out from the emotion I am super happy, this words from you has no value ,I am just working a lot, I took some time just for me to do what I love and after years I see some result that fix my soul and if it is possible try not be obvious, I love an history in a track and I try to make it the same time danceable and playable ,is my passion and this track I hope can represent it. I am super happy about the result and that you want to play Philipp it’s a dream!! Danke!! So I applied and worked with that elements, not really easy as you said I found a lot of resonances on the mixing way I had to cut frequencies quite drastically leaving the idea of the track much possible as I can do. I played with the element that you said to appear and disappear and hope that is what you thought and what I thought when I listen you words , and at least I find a solution that maybe can work, I hope so! Thanks again Philipp!!! I wait your words about this version that I hope you like !!

Good morning Phillip! Thanks for taking the time to listen and for the quick response. Your feedback on the shaker and the approach on how to make it walk on the stereo field, really resonates with me. Will also work on the part towards the end which has that teasing effect because of the more loopy sound, I feel what you mean and your comments inspire me :) Thanks for your helpful advice. Looking forward to sending new projects. F

Thank you Phillip for this feedback - it so happens the drum elements you highlighted to revisit were the only two elements that were not recorded from hardware as these were samples layered in Ableton afterwards! I welcome both ideas... re-sequencing the snare and swapping out the hi hat for a ride cymbal will likely preserve the floaty vibe which is what I always intended for the track. I think your idea of a melodic bass-line is really great and is something I'll explore when I revisit the track too.... perhaps even introducing the melodic bass-line on the breakdown and for the second half. Great ideas. The track is indeed already mastered but I will revisit for a version 2. Thank you again. I will certainly send more tracks in future if you are available too! Daniel
