What producers say
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!
- G
You have given me lots to think about and reference and it's been a nice experience picking your brains! thank you :)
Great feedback with specific tips and suggestions!
- P
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!
Hello 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
- G
Thanks a lot for the feedback. Great advice!
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 !
-
Hi Philipp! Sorry for the late review, and thanks so much for your valuable advice on making the track cleaner and more percussive. When I’m close to finishing a track, it often feels like there’s some extra space that needs to be filled, or that it’s missing a bit of groove, which is why I tend to add FX here and there. But you’re 100% right, I need to push myself to use them only when they’re really necessary so the track stays clear and easy to follow :) I think I need a little break from this track now haha, but I’ll definitely let you know if I make a V3 or start working on new projects. I will receive my K2000 at the end of the week and will try to make a new track with it soon. It only has the factory presets on it. I’ve seen on the internet that there is a big nerd community that has upgraded their synths and created tons of new presets available online. They replace the floppy disk drive with an SD or USB one, add orchestral cards, extra RAM, etc. To be honest, I’m not a great sound designer, so it sounds interesting to me in terms of presets, but I’m probably even worse with putting my hands into electronic systems. I’ll take some time to explore the factory presets and all the functionality of the synth before making a decision, I guess. Thanks again for all your feedback, I really appreciate it! :) 2RUF

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
-
Thanks for the feedback, Philipp! Super constructive — it really helped me get some perspective. I’m going to rework the arrangement to better frame the intro, the peak time, etc. You’re right as well, I’ll simplify the bass — having two dedicated layers made it a bit too complex on the ear. I also think I can rework the melody and the drums; they might be a bit too simple, or too locked to the beat. The real challenge now will be changing all that without losing the essence of the track — not that easy for me haha. It’ll probably take some time, but I’ll of course keep you posted once I’ve got a new version I’m happy with! PS : Loved the full cheese fashion style !
Hello Laurel, many thanks for the feedback. Specially your opinion about arrangement and harmony. It is clearly something to improve, not only on this track but as also for future productions. Cheers!
- A
Thanks Lauer! Really great feedback, I appreciate your time and input. i'm gonna work on the arrangement and send it through. I also am borrowing a 606 so maybe this can be our 16th note hi hats. Have a good day brother, hope you are feeling better Xx
Great as usual! Highly recommended, as usual!! Track ist endlich fertig. Besten Dank Philipp :-)
Thank you very much for your feedback! It's very encouraging! I'm going to try to find the labels you recommended! And I'm going to write to you on Instagram, it will be more practical... It goes without saying that I love what you do! See you soon and sorry if my English is not very good... In fact, my old man's name is Frederique Sueur, see you soon.

Thanks Jexy, You are indeed my Canadian goggles wearing connection.....and I'm loving every second of it Jerry
-
AGAIN, highly regard Philipp Lauer's feedback to anyone who really wants to improve with their own music. Also big thanks to the Echio-Team for making it possible, to get this honest, empathic and super helpful feedback from no one else but legendary Lauer.
- J
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
-
Yoooo. Thank you Jexy - really helpful advice and stoked you think its half okay. Ill be sending the updated version soon. Peace, Xandy

Since Philipp Lauer (Berghain, Robert Johnson, Beats in Space etc...) is an experienced Multi-instrumentalist for years, he understands Dance Music inside out, and therefore knows how to finish High Quality Music within hours - as if he was just cooking an healthy dish for his evening dinner. Now I recieved my second Feedback from Italo-Techno`s Gentlemen-Dinosaur - and again, he shared his knowledge in a very relaxed, highly empathic and super motivational way. I´m looking forward to future Feedbacks from him - and highly (highly) recommend this to anyone - who loves Post-House-Proto-Disco-Trance, or just high quality music in general.

Hey Johannes! thank you very much for your feedback and don't worry about the countryside setting, it made it all more human, and it felt a bit like an old friend was taking time to help me with my musical struggle :D I am happy to get an overall positive feedback but mostly because you addressed exactly the point for which i was doubting the most: alternative arrangement, lenght and effects use. You were asking yourself which were my references or inspirations. Definetly Chicago House but as well also detroit house and some more conteporary music producer who have a more melodical approach. But at the end it mostly comes from my hardware jams <3 I will definetly send you the final version!
So 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!
Thanks very much for your review, Lauer! I've already made a couple of changes in the track :)
- A
Jex Opolis' feedback was both technically informed and emotionally perceptive, identifying specific strengths while also offering constructive notes on areas for growth— highly recommend.
Amazing feedback guys will be taking it all on and applying it, thank you so much!
i love this guy

Great feedback
Ah, thank you so much for the feedback! It is very considered and will be useful. I hadn't listened to the track in a couple of weeks, and I've just listened to it again (on headphones this time) and can hear the opportunities that you've spoken about (the dubby clap delays are not needed for this track), and I'm going to experiment and liven up the stripped back part (or remove it). Also my feedback on your feedback (as requested): thank you for mentioning the things you like about the track first - as you mentioned it can be hard to share things, so I appreciated those comments. And it was useful that you referenced timestamps a few times, that helped me understand exactly what you were talking about. Also, the other artists that you referenced will be useful - I know their names but I haven't listened to them so much, so I'm going to go and see if I can get some inspiration. Again, thank you very much 🙏🏻
Thanks so much for the notes! Looking forward to giving the suggestions a shot. <3
Excellent thoughts, really picked up on some details that I had not considered which is why I sent it. Really appreciate the detailed review!
Hey Philipp! Thank you so much for the great feedback... hopefully you were able to get my reply!
Amazing feedback! Provided some really useful tips to add the final polish I needed. Will be sure to get to your thoughts again. Thanks guys
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 :)
-
Thx for that nice Feedback Philipp. :)

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!
- d
Incredible feedback. Johannes gave me 25 minutes worth of notes, which is probably the most detailed feedback i've ever had from anyone in my life :) It's so valuable getting ears on your music from your favourite artists - I almost can't believe the price! Johannes you were 100% correct in your assessment of my musical taste/background just from listening to the track. You even identified your own track 'Lasga's Return' from over 10 years ago which was a direct inspiration - ok, maybe I ripped it off ;) - and the reason why I sent this to you. You specifically mentioned the bass, and it was your bassline that I was trying to emulate! Some of your suggestions I already had a little inkling about, so it's actually reassuring hearing those coming from a pro. Now if only I could find the original project file... I have a few other projects that I'd like your ears on too, so I look forward to submitting those for feedback soon.
-
Cheers Jex!
- a
Helpful, and actionable. Will give it a try, thanks a lot!
Second time sending in to these guys. Very detail oriented and able to pick out issues I had with pitched down vocals. They always give great advice and possible ideas to help get the track the last 10%! Thanks again guys, more tracks coming soon!
- B
The best feedback I could have hoped for! Very detailed, very respectful, great ideas and suggestions for improvement. Full recommendation!
Such 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!
-
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!
Thank 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.
-
Amazing feedback! Very in depth insight breaking down exactly what I was looking for to get the track to stand out! Definitely sending loads more to these guys! Cheers!

Philip LAUER is an amazing producer that we've been looking up to since forever! His response was immediate and his constructive criticism elevated our track and helped us a lot. This dude knows his stuff. <3 <3 <3 Thanks for everything Philip! Cannot wait to work with ya' again!
- q
Very helpful feedback. Thanks a lot!!
Really great guys thank you so much
- b
great feedback again, very insightful
- s
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 :)
- b
Excellent feedback again, I’ve actually cancelled my membership to another feedback platform I used previously because duskys feedback is so much better
- Y
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 :)
- b
Perfect feedback, so much detail exactly what I wanted ! 100% worth the money and will definitely be sending more tracks
Thanks a lot for your feedback!! Loved to get those positive impressions and additional tips on how to further improve it! The alternative bass is really adding something, and the later hat also! As for the air and giving more space in the mix, fully see your point - I definitely can gain from that overall and will make sure to be careful about that in my future productions as well!! Thanks again!! :)
-
Thanks Jexxy, I appreciate your feedback 🙏🏻
.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&w=48&h=48&fit=crop)
Hey 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
- f
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
- d
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!
- a
Great feedback, very helpful. And thank you for the recs on stuff to listen to, will dig in!
-
Hey! It's great to get a second opinion and love to hear it's sitting in a good place already, thank you for your kind words! Will definitely send this around to hopefully get some club plays, and yes I master all my own tracks :) - I make too many last minute decisions to pay for mastering lol Thank you again!!
- c
Great follow up feedback.
- c
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...
Such a valueable feedback as always very professional very on point. Could not recommend it more!
- R
Really useful feedback. Loads of detail and in depth explanation (much more than I thought there would be!) and overall very constructive. Thank you!
-
I recently had the opportunity to get feedback from Chinaski on my music demo, and it completely transformed my approach. Chinaski's detailed and insightful feedback encouraged me to rethink the entire track. Thanks to his guidance, I've crafted a version of my song that I'm truly proud of. I'm so grateful for his help and can't thank him enough!
Thanks again for the amazing feedback guys! I'll definitely send you all future tracks and promos on IG. Thanks again for the detailed feedback1
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! ☀️
Philipp advice is straight to the point and the result of years of experience, but he also is super chill and his delivery is very comforting and soothing. He helped me a great deal finishing this song!
- M
Thanks a lot, guys!
-
Hey Philipp!! thank you so much for the answer I found it super helpful. Really loved the feedback man, direct, and helpful, as it should be. :) I'm actually gonna go back and try implement some of the stuff you mentioned since my mixing engineer hasn't started working on it yet. I talked to my pianist friend about the piano stabs, he also found them a tiny bit off but he said they still work in the track as a whole, so I might leave them as they are, just cause I'm being lazy, but def trying the strings and other arrangement tweaks you mentioned. II would love to send you a v2, perhaps I can request feedback for another track and also throw in a link for the v2 of this one? or does this need another request on its own? ehhe Anyhow, little bird told me you might be coming to Seattle around August, if so, I would LOVE to get a lemonade and talk shop with you!!
-
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
Hallo Sascha, vielen lieben Dank für dein Feedback! Dirk hat super viel Output und ich filter alles durch. Gemeinsam gehen wir dann an die Struktur. Womit ich aber oft hadere ist die Länge des Tracks. Wie kurz darf es sein? Ab wann wirds langweilig? Usw. Wir haben 6 bis 7 Tracks, die alle stilistisch gut zusammen passen. Das Zuende bringen ist ja oft des Künstlers Leid, aber der Gedanke, vielleicht doch von einem Label unterstützt zu werden, zieht. Vielleicht haben wir ja Glück mit unserem Zeugs. Vielen Dank nochmal für deine Empfehlungen. Grüße von Steffi und auch von Dirk
- r
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 ;-)
- z
Thanks for the helpful feedback! very insightful and constructive. also quite quick to reply :)
- d
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 :)
Vielen lieben Dank Sascha, :) Ich war sehr zufrieden mit deinem Videofeedback. Du bist auf alles eingegangen, und hast es auch sehr ausführlich beantwortet. Lg Lucas
Thank 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!
-
Hi Lauer, thanks a lot for your feedback! It's very helpful and there are a lot of nice tipps, i will try to work them in and rework and try to simplify my track!
-
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.
Hey, Thanks for getting back to us again. We’re happy the feedback is positive. I know what you mean about the high bass sound. We have had trouble automating the specific plug in that we were using. Although we like it we’ll cut our losses with it and find another instrument for that line that is more easily adjustable. We’ve got another couple of sessions together coming up so we’ll send you the final cut once this is completed. Thanks again for the help so far, we really appreciate it! Jake & Laurie
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
-
Hi Philipp, Sorry to hear you were ill. Hopefully you are much better now. Thank you for the feedback. It was really helpful and amazing to get your thoughts on it. Sorry for the amount of time we took to get back to you with the second version, it's been a busy couple of weeks! We've made some changes to the track based on your suggestions which have hopefully improved it. There's less of different instruments coming in and what we have left in repeats a little more. Hopefully this has made it more cohesive. But yes, when you can, we would love to get your thoughts on this version. We look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks again, Jake and Laurie

Hallo lieber Sascha, vielen Dank für dein Feedback! . Wir mögen deine Musik sehr sehr gerne und finden es schon ein wenig verrückt, dass du dir unseren Song angehört hast. Deine Anregungen haben wir als sehr konstruktiv und leicht verständlich aufgenommen. Der Track gehört zu den etwas älteren. Deshalb würden wir dir sehr gerne bald einen unserer Neueren zusenden. Wir freuen uns auf ein weiteres Feedback. Freundliche Grüße von Dirk und Steffi
Hey 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!

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!

That's great, thanks a lot for your feedback. I'll go back into the project and try to tidy it up a bit based on your recommendations. I agree that there is quite a lot of elements in the track so creating more space will certainly help. Do you happen to have any recommendations for plugins that are good for panning/stereo widening etc? Really appreciate your advice about the importance of getting music out there for someone in my position. I plan to put more tracks out this year for sure. I just want to make sure my productions are up to standard as best as I can first. Thanks!

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.
