Reviews for First Sunrise

[Exilious]

I agree with BlueOceans down there about the lack of variety. Your chord progression barely changes. You gotta mix it up every now and then to keep the interest going. Especially if you plan on making a five minute song. The longer the song is, the more variety it needs to have.

Your melody work and synth choice is superb as always, so I have no qualms about that. :D

However, you did have some high end frequencies in this song that made me take my headphones off for a moment.

0:30 - 0:35 Your rise had way too much high end.

1:30 - 1:36 Once again, the rise had too much high end.

Also your hi-hats were very apparent in the high end as well. I mean, I know they're literally called "Hi-Hats," but even so, be careful of the frequency.

Overall, it's a pretty great song! It sounds good, flows nicely, and soothes me. Great work Ectisity!
*high fives* ^~^

Thanks for the detailed review :). Really glad you liked it.
I agree that there's some problems with the hi-end in this one. My headphones doesn't rly give a clear and neutral hi-end sound so I sometimes overdo it.

I Like it , Did a great job on this ectisity ! Keep on fireing !
The uplifting with the - tu -tu tu- Tu -Tu Tu- TU -TU TU is great. dont know if you made it yourself or its premade sample.

Cant find or hear any mistakes when i listen to the track. SO i dont think in a stable track you have any negatives here.. BUT

i can give you a tip.

Use some vocals in the track it will give it more down to earth feeling. more natural.
Cause overall its still edm ;) . Keep that in mind. Make a change to combine human&digi.

Greets prognoise.

PS. You are growing m8.

EctiBot responds:

Yup, i absolutely agree woth you about the vocals. Good vocals are hard to find though, and I don't want to just force some random vocals over my music :).
Really glad you liked it anyways :D.
Ps. And yes I made that uplifting thing from scratch :). Glad you liked it :D.

The mix quality is sounding pretty good to me. What do you mix on man? It is a bit too repetitive to me melody-wise. I guess thats what this genre is usually like? the rises and falls work really nicely but i feel that you could of mixed it up and maybe added an unusual spin to this style of music.

EctiBot responds:

Glad you liked the mix :D. I just use Fl-studio native plugins like parametric EQ and a bit soundgoodiser to mix. You're right with repetetiveness. I wanted to try doing this genre by the book, then trying to add my own twists later ;).
Thx for the feedback :D.
