Holy crap I can't do transitions for the life of me I apologize.
So I've been kinda sick lately. Yesterday was worse than today. It's not even the type of sick like the flu, it's just build-up from stuff going on in my life. I was tired of messing around with my dubstep track so I made this instead to have myself feel better. I actually had a lot of fun with this and in my opinion is better than my dubstep tracks.
I actually wanted to try the Serum demo for a change since apparently you can use it for 20 minutes at a time as many times as you wish. So, the lead and lame excuse for a drop was done by Serum, I just had to open up a new project, create the sound, export it as a .wav file and import it to this project. This was actually going to be a short song but I evolved it into this. I also made automation my friend this time around and tried to keep it simple instead of forcing it to be so complex. Overall this uses 14 patterns, 10 audio clip sources, and 9 automation clips. I used Serum, 3x Osc, Sawer (it's kinda underrated), Morphine, GMS, and Harmor as well.
I'm also putting this as House because it's 130 BPM, despite my distaste for it I don't know what else to categorize this.

Pretty amateur track i would say. :/ Drums were kinda earraping and messy,and drop was messy. Its was kinda hard to understand what am i listening to. :/ I didnt heard any melody,just a mess of sounds. Sorry,im just trying to help you and critize it constructively. But you just need to keep on making songs and try to improve. :) You can do it!

BlueAlpha14 responds:

Hopefully gonna get a new track out soon. I have melodies, it's just a matter of making use for them.
I tried to make the drums as quiet as I could, the only time the drums were messy to me is right before the drop. I kinda liked the sound though, so I kept them in.
I have no idea what the drop was. I wanted to make something upbeat.
It's okay to criticize the track, I understand not all my stuff is appealing to everyone.

I think to get get your transitions you should study your cadences down pat. Whenever I get a transition right, it always involves a solid cadence and keeping note of the leading tone. You got a melodic idea here, but I think if you give it harmonic direction it'd sound pretty rad! :D
Keep it up.

BlueAlpha14 responds:

I have no idea what cadence means, I'm dumb lol.
Thanks for the review, haven't actually gotten a high rating in a while.

No drop when you expect it

BlueAlpha14 responds:

Well technically House doesn't have a drop, not a complex one like dubstep or trap anyways. I have no idea where you're expecting it, as I made a build-up.
Thanks for the review,
