At Audiotuts+ we regularly put up a reader track for workshopping and critique (find out how to submit a track). This is how it works: you upload your song, and every week or so we’ll publish one here and step away from the podium. The floor is yours to talk about the track and how the artist can fix problems in and improve upon the mix and the song. This track has been submitted for your friendly, constructive criticism. They have put their track (and their heart and soul) in your hands to learn and get useful feedback. Do you enjoy the song or track itself? Does it have potential? Can the arrangement be improved? How did you find the mix? What would you do differently? What do you enjoy about the rhythm track? What can be done to improve it? Is the choice of instruments relevant and effective for the style/song? Are the lyrics (if any) effective? Does the style, arrangement and genre of the song suit them? Can you suggest any specific techniques that might improve the track? Do you have any other constructive feedback? Laubbäume by Fshstk (with Messer & Manu) Artist’s website: soundcloud.com/fshstk Description of the track: Laubbäume is part of a project with an old schoolfriend of mine. I wanted to get into a bit more depth with production, and he had recently discovered his rapper alter-ego. The track could best be described as hip-hop I guess, but I see it more as a combination of a wide variety of influences. Lyrics are in German, but that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying the song. (I hope!) I’m mostly looking for advice on the production/mixing side of things, but any feedback is of course welcome! Laubbäume (feat. Messer & Manu) by Fshstk Terms of Use: Track is CC-BY-NC-SA licensed, so downloads are fine.

    // Today I would like to show you a mini pluck sequence. I use this sound quite a lot in my productions, and invented the term “mini pluck”. It is used in several trance songs – especially in uplifting trance – but you can use other genres as well In this tutorial I’ll show you how to create a “mini pluck downer” type patch in Sylenth. This is basically a pluck arpeggio with a filter being modulated in a random rhythm. I use Ableton Live to create it. It is suitable for giving backing support to other parts of the song. Other words it’s a backing track just give some feel your tracks. Step 1: Create a Track Let’s insert a MIDI channel in Ableton and insert the MIDI clip. The length of the clip is three bars. Change the grid to 16th notes and draw some notes on C#4, E, G#, A and don’t leave any silence between them. So as you see the notes is rising on the scale.
