It's impressive how you extracted the key problems of the track and offered solutions for them in a really focussed way. It really helped a ton and will improve also future productions. 100% recommendation.
Cheers, Maxism
Super useful feedback! I’ve already started applying his suggestions and immediately realized that the direction he pointed out is definitely the right one. Sometimes, what I really need is a professional and experienced external ear — and Kadosh truly represents that kind of insight in today’s modern scene.
Your feedback is golden for me .. thanks a lot .. also need more modern lead sound with nice sound design.. im almost there .. tomorrow I ll update my monitors Adam a8h with sonarworks sound id .. I used use dynaudio bm15 but need to change with new generation technology ..will see .. I hope we ll work together one day .. this is dream for me .. vocal sample I buy somewhere else.. Thank you so much Perel I love your music .. my sound is more commercial for you I know .. you are very special artist.. I know we are different genre but your feedback is golden thanks xx jjj
The master of feedbacks is here at Echio!
When I saw Dilby, I immediately sent him a track I was planning to release. He not only responded quickly but provided an incredible 17-minute detailed feedback, which I truly appreciate. His insights help not just with this track but also with tips and tricks useful for any artist.
The Metal Dreams reference was spot on, and the sound comes from the Buchla Aesel VST preset "Blame Yourself For Everything," which is absolutely beautiful. I’m always tempted to use it, but its uniqueness makes it so recognizable that it might feel like copying.
Thanks again, Dilby, for the thoughtful feedback. I hope to make this a regular part of my pre-release process!
Getting feedback from an artist like Dilby is a true gift. His music consistently elevates the energy on the dancefloor, so we deeply value his expertise and keen ears.
We sought to take our track to the next level, and Dilby's detailed, thoughtful feedback exceeded our expectations. It felt as though we were in the studio with him—he had our track in Ableton, pinpointing where our mixdown and arrangement needed improvement. His actionable advice, from mixing to structure, gave us the clarity we needed to finish the track. He also made us feel that the time and effort we have been putting in the studio is going somewhere haha.
Every producer knows the challenge of over-listening to their own work, but Dilby’s insights saved our track from the Ableton graveyard. He helped us move past self-doubt and focus our energy where it mattered most. We can’t recommend his services enough and look forward to sending him more music for his tasteful reviews.
Hey! Thank you so much for inspiring and very helpful tips! it is something that has been bothering me too, but i couldn't quite pinpoint what exactly, especially loud vocal i guess. There were some moments I couldn't even have imagined. Definitely need more experience. I really appreciate your time in answering my questions and will do my best to follow advices from your vision) cheers!
Dilby man, great feedback. As you said getting that perspective can be daunting but you've helped me make a solid list of ways I can improve this tune. One follow-up question, you mentioned you had a reference track I should check out in mind but did not mention the track name. Would love to check it out, alongside any other tracks you could recommend as reference points. Thanks again!
Sorry I forgot to provide review for your feedback - Thanks DJ Tennis for your precious advices !!! . I will lower down the voice in the mix, and release but only for DJs (I do not have the rights on the voice sample who comes from Camaron de la Isla, a famous flamenco singer)
Thanks Chris! Great feedback in terms of actionable items to consider within the track and highlighting what is working well/what parts of the track to embrace.
Whoa, thank you so much for the feedback - it was super helpful & is highly appreciated :) I added more percussion elements + sound design and used reverb + side-chaining for more structure/focus. Sounds so much better now. Thx again!
Hi, thank you for your detailed feedback. We'll deal with it. What often concerns me is the question of how short a song can be before it is still a song. I agree with you in terms of feeling, but then my head says that's not enough, we have to add something to it to make the song longer. I am pleased to send you the new version again. Thank you very much. Steffi from COSYM
Thank You DJ TENNIS. I appreciate the feedback. I am definitely encouraged that you enjoyed the track, and agree that in some parts there is too much going on. It's simple advice you gave, but now that i've heeded your advice it seems obvious what the track needed. Thanks again to you and this rad platform.
Hey Alinka, first of all, I am thrilled to receive your feedback!
It took some time to get back to you, because I am currently starting new projects left and right, however I wanted to let you know I fixed the first "drop". I now realise it was a very abrupt jump and I tried to fix that. I may be prioritising the soundscape to the actual tension-buildup... Is there any way I can send you a mixdown or should I wait until I've worked through it?
appreciate the feedback. a lot of useful things to take into consideration as a i create the next version. will look to simplify this one and make the key layers more effective rather than adding more and more :)
Thank you for taking the time to listen to my track and provide me with feedback - I really appreciate it. I will look to implement your comments and suggestions and will also keep them in mind for new projects.

Thank you so much for this great feedback! It's incredibly specific and clear, and I feel like I know exactly what I need to do to get the track finished. I really appreciate your careful listening and encouragement—I'll be sure to send you the final track once I've incorporated your suggestions.
Hey Alessandro, thanks so much for your kind words to the track and the specific feedback, that's really super helpful - we tried out your ideas, cranked up that kick & toms etc and it already works so much better. :) We're gonna tweak it some more and will definitely send you the final result when it's finished! Have a great week, best Jan & Justin
Thanks again for your time and feedback on my track, really appreciate it and both your insight and kind words. You were right, it is ready to be signed as it now has been.
Thanks
Thank you Cioz for your very quick reply. I appreciate your clear and helpful feedback. In particular, I already had the thoughts about the repetitiv thing and this harsh frequence in the break in my head. It helps a lot to get this outside perspective from an experienced artist. I will also try to integrate your other thoughts and ideas. So now I'll sit down to my track and look forward to implementing the feedback I received.
Thank you very much!

Cioz this helps so so much!!! Thank you for taking the time to listen and really dive into the track. You're one of my favorite artists and watching you react to my song is so cool. I'll send the finished result as soon as I can!
Hi ! Thank you so much for your fast response and for the many valuable advices on the track, it’s been so nice hearing from you we are really honoured you took all this time to listen to it and give us insightful feedbacks on details like this. Especially considering how much we love your music! The idea on space and the metaphors you used really opened up our ways of thinking. We’ ll be working on it in the next days and do our best to improve the track before sending you an updated version. We wish you a beautiful evening, with love - NUVEM
Thank you for this awesome feedback! Loved your insight into this track and I appreciate the effort you put into the feedback and the kind words. Your take is detailed and honest, and I appreciate your suggestions with both mixing and arrangement. Its definitely elevating the over all track and this won't be the last time I send you tracks for feedback. Sorry for the delay, Im just working on pushing the toms at the moment before I send off the final version to respond to you.
Thanks again!
Thanks so much for listening and very useful feedback on the drum programming. I am very pleased you seem to like the tune! If you want to keep in touch in future I'm on instagram at @islander.dj. I will send more through Echio in future if I have strong material.
Thanks, Tom
Thank you man! That's great feedback and I will implement those ideas. The strings are from an Arturia Emulator II plugin. Two tracks layered on top of the other then using Little AlterBoy on different settings on each track.
No worries! I’ll resend it, thank you again !
All the best

Frequently asked questions
Music feedback
The artist records a private video breaking down your track — mix, arrangement, sound design, or whatever you ask them to focus on. It lands in your inbox and you can watch it whenever you want, as many times as you like.
Early sketches are often the most valuable to get feedback on, before you get lost in too many iterations — but finished tracks work too if you want a second opinion or to get on the artist’s radar.
MP3, WAV or AIF, any length. Add a note and links when you upload so the artist knows exactly what to focus on.
Most feedback arrives within a few days. If the artist hasn’t responded within 7 days, you’re automatically refunded.
You can swap the track as long as the artist hasn’t listened yet. After that you can cancel the request for a refund and start a new one.
Yes. Once your feedback is delivered, you’ll find a private message option on your request page. Use it to ask the artist a follow-up question or get clarification on something they mentioned in the video.
