Thanks so much, Jex! Your comments really mean a lot and are a huge encouragement to keep working on my music! You're right, the kick is definitely a bit of a problem. As for the bass, I tried doubling it, but with the TB it just gets way too low and muddy. I found a solution by adding a sub underneath to bring more punch to the low frequencies, and I sidechained the whole thing with a slightly shorter kick that sits a little lower in the mix. I'm sending you the updated version as requested! Really appreciate you taking the time to listen !
Fun, motivating, and right on point :) I can't wait to try it out. Thanks Jex!
Woah, thanks Jex! This feedback really means a lot. I would more than gladly accept your proposal, I'm managing to finish tracks a bit faster now. Will let you know as soon as I have something :) I think the main vocal part is pretty catchy, I like how it's rhythmically delivered. So I would maybe replace it with a midi pattern (eg. with the synth stab) or something similar. I'll try it out !
Thanks Jexy, You are indeed my Canadian goggles wearing connection.....and I'm loving every second of it Jerry
Yoooo. Thank you Jexy - really helpful advice and stoked you think its half okay. Ill be sending the updated version soon. Peace, Xandy
Jex Opolis' feedback was both technically informed and emotionally perceptive, identifying specific strengths while also offering constructive notes on areas for growth— highly recommend.

Great feedback
haha you're the man Jex - congrats on the new arrival - so cute! Im sure you have your hands full now proper!! I'm sure you will return to the touring at some stage buddy! I have 2 little ones myself - so im only able to get to the studio during working hours believe it or not haha!! Legend for the feedback - I used Rob Papen Blue 111 vst for this bass - its a beauty of a synth for all types of bass and those kind of float arpy sounds, be right up your street!! I will definitely send over more tracks buddy - cos i only get to produce while i work i dont turnaround many tracks in quicky but when I do Il share :) would be epic to release something with you again at some stage! I am a resident in belfast thompsons garage so hopefully will get dropping some of these beauties over the summer!! will keep in touch man - good luck with the dipers :)
Thank you Jex! Really appreciate your feedback! This track is the first that I’m working on for my new ep (my debut ep is coming out in two weeks on vinyl!, I’ll send it to you), so happy that you like it and consider it done! Loved the feedback on the sound as I actually don’t want to make it sound very modern, I like the nostalgia of older sounds I guess Anyway, thank you!
Cheers Jex!
Helpful, and actionable. Will give it a try, thanks a lot!
Jex is a very nice, authentic and honest guy! Thanks for your tips and ideas and your very positive feedback on my track! :)
Hi Jex, thanks for your kind feedback, it's very uplifting and gives me some good advice!
Very helpful feedback. Thanks a lot!!
Thank you so much for the feedback! Only just listening to it now as I've had a hiatus away from the gym. I totally get what you mean after reflecting on the track and will be adding additional layers into it as suggested. That could help to elevate the track as it is meant to be a club night track. Thanks again and I will resubmit in the future :)
Thanks Jex, really appreciate you taking the time to listen to the track and give some honest feedback. I've still got a long way to go! but this is all super clear and thanks again, going to give it another go :)
Thanks Jexxy, I appreciate your feedback 🙏🏻
Thx Jexy, you're the man!
Hello Jex, First of all, thank you so much for paying attention to details of the tracks, and glad that part of my "purpose" has been kind of reached ahah Well noted regarding all that is relative to bass line, bass effects etc. that is very something I need to improve as it may be something often avoided by beginners ; I will work on it very soon So again, thanks for your time, I follow you on IG and I know you are pretty busy doing great sets. Keep doing masterclass and have a great summer! Why G
Thanks Jex, I'm glad you enjoy it as you're a major influence. Watched you in Syd a few weeks ago too - ICONIC. The soft synth sound is created by putting a randomiser (tremolo plugin) on a DX7 emulator soft synth preset & then chorus, flange, delay ect on top! When we get our Soundcloud/Bandcamp up & running I'll send you some of my other demos. All quite similar to 'Alice Coltrane". Would be really cool to be considered for the Echio pick of the month too. Keep in touch, Yanni :)
Thanks for the feedback mate appreciate it I’ll Defo get a nice bass line in there! Ill send you the updated version soon 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Incredibly helpful feedback. Thanks so much, Jex - you gave me some tremendously helpful insights and notes that I hadn’t really considered about this track, the drop, and the creative side. And awesome to hear you thought the mix sounded good. :) Sincerely appreciated, and excited to get back to the studio!!! 🎶 Thanks again 🎶
Love you Jex! Great feedback as ever! thanks for the advice on new artists to check out and Labels to send it to. Totally fine on the vox tip too -as you say, its a taste thing. Your insight is always on point. Biggups Mr Balearic x
Appreciate it Jex thanks so much
Hey Jex - what a fucking legend stoked you liked my tracks sir and cheers for the epic feedback, I have made some updates on your recommendations with an 808 clap, a break topper and a glitchy layer. Also added some sie Q on the drum bus and some pultec across some of the percussion to hopefully give it that sizzle as you say! - hopefully this is a step closer to becoming a grade A banger. can you give me 30% discount again to resend you what I have update?
Thanks a lot Jex, very constructive feedback. I will actually leave this as an "experimental version" and work on a shorter version for the dancefloor and will look for the baseline :) Speak soon
Yo Jexy✌️❤️ Thanks for your video feedback and the good words on my track🙏🏻 I'm a fan of your music for quite a while now! I have to be honest i actually heard about your (very cool!) masterclass on Echio from one of my students and i figured, since this platform is so sweet for reaching out to your favorite artists, i might try contacting you via echio🤷♂️ So that's me being honest. This track is "DJ Gear - Goes Love" is looking for a home alongside 2 more dreamy housey tracks. If you'll feel like playing it and even share it with others i can maybe find a decent label to release it❤️🙏🏻 Thanks again for being such a nice and honest dude
Hi Jex, thank you for your very kind feedback. It's overwhelming to hear such positive words from the producer I've been following for years! About Bitwig: it's a DAW made by former Ableton programmers. It's much more stable, there's no latency, it's a module and sound design heaven and much more... I'm not going back. :) if you want to hear more about it, feel free to hit me up on IG (micsadowski). Either way, thanks for your time!
Great feedback, very helpful. And thank you for the recs on stuff to listen to, will dig in!
Great follow up feedback.
Excellent, concise and extremely helpful feedback. Jex answered all questions and applied his deep understanding of music to help improve the track that was sent.
Glad i sent the track though again for some final feedback from you Jex... it's given me the confidence to now move forwards and shop it around to labels -or release it myself on Bandcamp. I spotted that Echio are now doing compilations which is such a great idea. I'd be really interested in featuring the track on the next comp if You/Echio would like it? Much love as ever man keep tearing up the dancefloors!
Thank you so much! I'll do my best on these chords...
Thanks a lot for your feedback, Jex!! Great input, sometime I miss the small details that help the track stand out and will definetly apply your feedback. I was a little afraid to use a small chords progression during the track, so I can keep it dance floor oriented, but yes, I I will figure it out, play a little with some chords there. Thanks for the proggy percussive arpegiator advice! ❤️The sample is from Splice, I tried to find a nice female voice. Have a nice day! ☀️
Absolutely on the money man... a chorus is exactly what it needs, one of my friends is a backup singer with Technotronic so i'll get in touch with her to smash out that hip-hose-diva style vocal addition ...altho i was sorely tempted to pop yours in there ! :) i'll get a shorter snappier version boxed off asap and send it through. Loved hearing from you man ...and your feedback was just what i needed, it made me feel confident and positive about the track -i'm ready to kick its ass into orbit now! Much love! Dash
Thanks your helpful and actionable feedback. Especially the idea to drop the piano was really good. I'll be adding some dirt to my track and be back for the next track ;-)
Thanks for the helpful feedback! very insightful and constructive. also quite quick to reply :)
Hey jex, haha okay. didn't expect such good feedback. Thank you! I'm very happy to hear that. :) Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to play the track in a club yet. I'll definitely send it to you when I release it on my bandcamp page. A lot of the sounds are samples like the stabs, which are pitched down reggae chords. And the organ sound is from the Arturia SQ80 vst . I would like to have the original synth, but it's too expensive for me... But this will definitely become one of my favorite synths :)
