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.
Thanks for the feedback, Kevin!
I will defintely try to add some rides in the background and bring more character to the synths with some analog drive! Thanks for the tips.
Cheers
Good points here, Budakid covered various areas I was looking for and ideas I hadn't considered in the feedback, Will use many of these ideas to finish the song!
hey Joris! thank you for the feedback. you gave some really useful input that I'll definitely try out in my next revision of the song. have a great week! :)
Hey Ruede, thank you for the constructive and detailed feedback. It was really valuable to hear that I should focus on one mood and consider separating the sounds into two tracks - a more positive vibe and a darker one. I think you are 100% correct! Thanks again, and good luck with your studio move.

Hi Joris - Thank you for the video feedback! I've never really played around with distortion before so I'll experiment with that and really appreciate the Moog bass idea you gave, basslines I've always struggled with and the raw aggressive sound example you gave really did fit. Overall I probably need to be more expressive and capture the rawness of my hardware, but also keep an eye on the timing like you said. All point made sense. Lots to take away and learn from which was the main thing for me. Thanks again. Alex
Thank you for the feedback. Super stoked to see the changes resulted in some extra positive feedback to it!
Going to take those 4 pieces and work on them, as well as work at some EQ & stereo imaging / mid-side and I'll send over something revised. Appreciate the detail. THANK YOU!
Appreciate the feedback, working on a v2 and will be sending for a revision!
Already pulled arp bass out on a drop and instantly worked better, taking all notes and will come back with something. Thank you!
Hey Biesmans, thanks a lot for the feedback. It helped me get my track to the next level. Your feedback was really accurate, quick, pragmatic and aligned with my questions. You can see you are building on a ton of experience. Thanks again!!

Biesmans feedback was easy to understand, so that I could take up the recommendations an incorporate them in my project. He also went into the specific details of the areas that I mentioned as having the most difficulties with. Thank you!
Hello Joris!
So I've been nominated and confirmed. Huge thanks for the support and for believing in the track. I just sent to Echio Team the corrected version with your suggestions applied:
1) I made the percussions less dry, with more room
2) Applied non-obvious echoes and effects and to the vocal
3) Corrected bass-kick relation. I believe now it is more clear, kick is more punchy, doesn't clush with the bass.
4) Made the break more interesting with some effects, bass automation where it dissappears for a while and gives tiny bit more impact to the drop
5) Focused more on mixdown to enforce what was too quiet and made more subtle some hats or details that were to exposed
I didn't want to ruin what was already there so I strongly believe the amount of corrections is just on point and follows your guidances. I am uploading it here for the reference with a private master and I sent to ECHIO the premastered version as well so they can do it themselves and include in the complication. I also sent a video quiz they asked me to record where I say a few words about the feedback from you.
Once again, maaany thanks and greeting from Warsaw:)

Love the feedback, will notate and work on those elements.
Definitely agree on the things listed (Had some fear even sending ha!), sometimes just need to hear it from someone else. Will work on them and get back to it on this one. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the feedback! This is super helpful and very actionable. I will work on the suggested changes in the next few days and send you an updated version.
Really appreciate the help and consideration for the compilation!
Cheers!
Thanks for the helpful feedback. You were able to clear up my questions and doubts. I now have a good idea of what and how to continue working on. Thank you!
More than I could have imagined!
Incredibly detailed feedback of not just the elements where the track can improve, but also specific examples/techniques of *how* to do so. Super grateful for the precise advise that I can use to improve my skillset.
Thank you so much again!
Hi Joris! Thanks a lot for the feedback! It's really professional and helpful, and important thing - all makes sense to me, cause it has examples and detailed explanations on all the elements that need to be fixed. I'm excited & inspired to jump to reworking it asap 😈
Hallo lieber Joris, du hast recht, wir haben mit dem Track nicht viel gearbeitet. Er ist schon älter. Gerade deshalb finde ich deine Kritik besonders wertvoll, um ihn nochmal neu zu betrachten und zu schauen, was noch raus zu holen ist. Dankeschön! Lg Steffi
Hi Joris, thank you so much for the feedback! Great idea about adding a melody on top of the arp. Please tell me you saved the MIDI from what you played haha. JK, I can create something similar for sure. And totally agree with the drums. I'll be sure to send you an updated version in a few days :) Much appreciated again!
Great to hear from a professional that not much is left for me to do on the track. His advice on which labels to approach and how to do so was very helpful.

Very well substantiated and thorough feedback, Lots of useful tips. Quick response too! We Will upload again after we used the tips on a next version - Tending Tropic Collective
Great feedback covering mixing and composition, thanks a lot! I particularly loved the inspiration for a lead melody that Joris jammed along my track on his Juno! The feedback is definitely actionnable and I believe it will indeed help improve my track significantly! Thanks a lot again!
Love it. Thank you! Great and specific feedback. Also, thank you for the kind words. Going to consider a vocal. Not easy but good to try things that aren't easy :) Not quite sure what you meant about the cords and bass if it was an eq or tuning issue. Juno 60 and a 101 so very possible if one is out of tune. Easy to check. Thanks again!
I’d like to thank BIESMANS for his constructive feedback ! Very thorough, very precise. We were stuck and he helped us a lot !
I will definitely ask him again for some advice

Snare ja das voor mij echt hmm love it, haha kan er niets aan doen maar hij is idd miss wat te groot! arragement ja top idee ik ben helemaal mee! ik ga het deze week terug open gooien merci
Thx. Very well communicated. I appreciate that you listened to other tracks for context, i.e. how you tailored it to my situation. These meta level insights on how to improve/reaching a bigger audience are super insightful. Amazing and inspiring feedback
Hey! Thank you so much for the amount of really valuable feedback here, honestly the best feedback on my music I've recieved in years and it has given me a really strong foundation to work on this track and future ones! Much love - Dan
How does music feedback work?

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.
