Re: My Complaint...

Hi,I'd have to agree with the screener on this one. The piece is good but there's really nothing innovative or cutting edge about it, particularly with regards to production techniques. Stylistically it's right, but it's not ultra cutting edge and not particularly engaging, at least compared to the a las.The synth sound is pretty static and if you listen to Chemical Brothers, they're always making filter changes and other processing, particularly for transitions. Your drums are well programmed but they need some further processing to make them more in the style production-wise. During the breakdown, I wanted to hear the drums get really smashed or distorted or lo-fied or chopped up or something to make them different from what has come before.A lot of this style of music does sound repetitive but there's stuff going on in the production that keeps it moving along and it almost never feels static. In your piece, the sections feel a bit too static to my ears and to the screeners as well.All of this, of course, is my opinion and I hope it doesn't come off as harsh because I don't mean it that way. You have the chops to produce, I suggest you dig deeper and analyze the genre more thoroughly so you can find your voice and a fresh approach while still staying true to the genre. Not an easy task but doable given the tools you have at your disposal. It just didn't sound to me like you went as far as you could have with this one.Hope this helps!! Keep going!!Mazz
