Really great feedback! Could tell you took time to listen to the track, much appreciated! The stuff about the club mix vs electronica mix was really useful and helpful for my muddy low end whilst i'm on my mixing journey!

Hey mate,
Thanks for the feedback. I've not heard that track but just listened and it's a stunner - I love this kind of thing. Now it's working out the jigsaw puzzle. Think I might leave it to cool for a while before I try. Great feedback though, I see what you mean by getting all the pieces to fit the groove. It takes an absolute genius to get it right!
Thanks Tom for the feedback! The track naturally is a bit busy, and I think we were a bit worried with getting it to 'competitive loudness' with mastering, which probably was at the expense of the dynamic range & clarity of some elements, and really might be fighting against the key DNA of the track in general. Will experiment with your EQ/balance ideas with the mixdown, and take a lighter more subtle approach to the mastering.
Tom made a great job at providing professional actionable feedback for me to improve my mix and arrangement, using clear wording and very insightful comments about my music that I'll be able to apply onto my future tracks!
Hey Tom, sorry for the late reply too - life has been busy here :)
Really appreciate the time you took and the professional feedback - super insightful. Once I heard the song after your feedback, everything that you mentioned made total sense and I tried to improve it as best as I could. Also made a couple of small changes here and there and was able to finish the track and just sent it to be released on the 8th of December.
I will leave the final product here in case you wanna use it or just give it a listen https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h2x6lVPEzx3JTcVmeBOJHt9x_fzkRTZl/view.
Didn't mention it before but just wanted to say I am a big fan of your stuff for quite some time! More recently I have been really into "Heart can still somersault" (such a banger) and also "Skin & Mind" collab with Aleksandir! Keep it up :)
Cheers
Thanks Tom! The feedback on the arrangement suggestion is a nice one, will definitely try it out. And the rests gives me confidence to finish it so much appreciated!
Hey Tom,
I'm glad the track resonates with you,
Thanks for the feedback! It's precise and it cleared some aspects I had doubts on.
I can continue with peace of mind ;)
Cheers,
Antoine
Tom's feedback was amazing. He was incredibly generous with advice and went above and beyond to help improve my track. I couldn't recommend him enough!!
Hey, thanks for your feedback: sure, I'll work on the bass and drums as I also felt that the bass was a bit too loud! Glad you liked the track anyway :)
As usual the quality of feedback was amazing. Pleased to hear you enjoyed the track and the production and I appreciate the tips on how to add extra depth to the mix. Also appreciate you taking the time to load the track in ableton and replicate the bassline so you could materialise your idea of layering the bass/sub as an example.
Receiving feedback from Dauwd was such an exciting and rewarding experience. As an artist I deeply admire, hearing his thoughts on my track meant so much to me.
I was especially happy to hear him say, “I’m not really sure what to suggest for you, but I’m sure you’ll find something—it’s a really well-made track.” Coming from someone of his calibre, this validation was incredibly reassuring, especially when thinking about sending the track to record labels.
His suggestions, like adjusting the mids on the pads and softening the distortion on the drums, were practical and insightful. They helped me see how small refinements can elevate the track even further while maintaining its essence. I also appreciated his encouragement to add more surprises in the arrangement, which has inspired me to think more creatively about keeping the listener engaged.
Thank you so much, Dauwd, for your thoughtful and encouraging feedback:)! It’s been a real highlight in my journey as an artist and has left me feeling inspired and confident as I move forward.
Hey Tom :) wonderful hearing from you , looked like a crazy venue in India , congrats dude. I’ll be diving back into the track after the holidays and will reach out to you on here then …hope you n yours have a merry Christmas!
Thanks so much Tom! Super insightful to hear your thoughts on the track, will be trying out those suggestions you mentioned; really appreciate the care you put into listening and analysing it. Great to have a second opinion from someone with so much experience. Cheers mate!
Hey Tom! Thanks so much for the feedback. Will look at eqing the low/mids on the main vocal and think about boosting the overall highs. Love the idea of putting an EQ on the master and playing around with boosting or cutting certain frequencies and a bing. Cheers mate. Would love to do a monthly session with you. Just book thru echio? Got a number of tracks to run past you, for sure!
Tom - this is great feedback, thanks so much. You really honed in on the aspects of my demo that needed improvement and gave me clear and easy to follow techniques that'll up-level the piece. I'm looking forward to putting your advice into practise. I'll send an update asap. Cheers
Hi Tom, Thank you for your feedback man! I put the techniques you showed me into practice in the song as well as a new one and I really like the randomness and uncertainty of it.
I must say it was hugely inspiring to have someone I listen to give feedback and constructive criticism on my music just really makes me want to do better and become just that little bit better than I was yesterday.
I’ll be sure to send over a newer version of the song once I have made more improvements.
Cheers!

hi Tom, thank you for the feedback. I'm happy that you think that the track is pretty much there. I will add some more stereo movement to that glitch that sticks out a bit and call it done. Thanks for clarifying on the Youandewan reference! I'm listening to the album now and it's really nice.
I'll definitely send you more tracks from the album as it develops.
Thanks again!!

Tom, thanks so much! Some really cool ideas you’ve shared here. I do a lot of this sort of stuff with my melodic elements so translating these approaches to my drums makes perfect sense and is something I can definitely take action on. I like how you are doing your automation live, in the moment. I guess you can be pretty spontaneous and go by feel rather than overthinking where and when you are going to mute stuff. I’ll definitely have a play around with that approach as I’m always wanting to make my workflows more fun and more likely to get me into creative flow.
I’m also really encouraged by your nice comments about my sound. Thank you! I love Louf, so I’m pleased with that association for sure!! Who was the other artist you mentioned? It sounded like Ewan Ewan but I’m not sure if I heard correctly! Could you write it for me so I can check them out?
Anyway, thanks again. I’ll definitely be sending more stuff.
Man, thanks so much for the extensive response. and in video form too, with your mug in it!
Appreciate the kind words, yes definitely channelling some wax/shed (or his million other alias'). Absolutely agree, I think adding a sub somewhere would help, I tried at one point but as you noted there's a lot going on in the mix, your method is real handy though I'll try that. I haven't kept a leash on the percussion loop and any of the delays on the dub echo's either, so tailoring them will clean up the mix.
On the label front, I think I'm at the stage where I've got a body of work I'm happy to send out, so I'll attempt to find a home for this music cause I'm quite proud of it. There's a network of artists like yourself that I'm inspired by and hopefully I can make some contact with too.
Again thanks so much for the response Tom, I'll send you some other tracks in due time. See you Saturday x
Thanks Tom for this constructive feedback,
I agree with the areas to explore to enhance the track and you've given me some orientations for each of them.
Very relevant inspiration track you gave me btw;
I'll be trying different approaches as advised, to see what stands out -
Cheers!
thank you Tom! I appreciate the kind words and I had not heard Vacuum Boogie before but I really enjoy FP and that song is sick! I really appreciate the feedback overall, and the tips seem really useful, especially with selecting and shaping the drums as a group. I also like the advice about archiving everything in the user library for more source material/inspiration! I’m seeing your review a bit late, but I appreciate the prompt response as well!
Thank you so much for this amazing feedback! Love the idea of layering, using a low cut filter, and subtly adding some distortion/saturation to the bass. Will also add a small click to the kick. Typically I've done this with hat samples and shortening them as you suggested. And I'm glad the breakdown part really stands out to you, so I'll definitely make that part shine more. Thanks so much again. It was extremely helpful :)
Hey mate! This is unreal, thank you so much for diving in and giving me such in-depth feedback. What you said makes a lot of sense and I’m keen to take it on and apply it to the mix. Loved what you said about the balance between higher and lower frequencies in the drops. I agree that the sub can carry a lot more weight in those moments. Might even experiment with replacing the kick sample.
Again, can’t express how appreciative I am - cheers man! Glad you liked the track, will share an updated mix once I’ve revised it :) x
Great feedback. This really gave me the spark I needed to see my project through, and it helps to hear the perspective of an established artist. I have plenty to think about now as I continue my work and I feel like my path is a little bit clearer. Thanks!
Thanks Tom, really appreciate the feedback. Yes, I'm a big fan of Otik (and skee mask) I'll use those tracks to reference. Makes sense re. sidechaining more elements too. And your totally right about the 3 note melody, I noticed that when I replayed it last week.
On a separate note do you do any paid tuition?

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 or WAV, 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 — you send a private message on the feedback page and the artist will get your comment.
