Suppressor - 4am
So i made these 3 tracks 2 years or so ago an i have just gone back and listened to them.
I think i might go back and give them a re mixdown and a master with all the technical stuff that i have learnt.
Do you think they are decent enough for release?

Re: Suppressor - 4am
In all honesty, no. Musically they are a bit generic and empty-feeling and technically they just aren't there to compete with the really well produced stuff in that area.Do you think they are decent enough for release?

Don't take that the wrong way man. Just keep on improving at the rate you have been,

I take a lot of what people like you say on this forum very serious.
I find that commenting on someone else's work can be one of the purest forms of honesty.

Re: Suppressor - 4am
I like the last track the most, go and release that one!
Re: Suppressor - 4am
I like Waiting Games the most. I think you'd maybe be best off finding parts of what you like from all of them and applying what you know now with production to make something new, I guarantee you'd prefer whatever the result of that is to just remixing an old forgotten project

Whatever you do, don't take what I say seriously. 99.9% of the time I'm full of shit. And the other .1% of the time, I'm having a shit.suppressor wrote:

But really (In my vast experience of not being very good), don't waste opportunities for release when the material you produce isn't quite there yet. I say this more about me that you really.
In 2 years, the stuff you'll produce will blow your current productions out of the water. Wait.
Re: Suppressor - 4am
Just my personal (and largely uneducated) opinion but the tracks sound like they are good enough to send to some labels to see what interest there is (if at worst you learn something from the process then it's not a lost cause in my opinion). I agree with what Jordan says about improving and waiting another couple of years, but what happens in two years from now?? Wait another couple of years until you improve more...just saying that most artists continue to improve (evolve maybe) even after they've started releasing stuff.
Without down-playing your tracks, I've heard worse stuff that's been released. Also not saying that should be what you base your decision on, just saying I feel like I've heard more derivative stuff (in terms of musical content) and lower production standards on tracks being listed for sale (but we all know there is a huge glut of sub-standard music being released when it probably wouldn't have been in the days before it became easier to make basic tracks at home and release them yourself if you really want to).
Ultimately I think it can also be one of the best motivators (and sometimes de-motivators) to get honest feedback from credible labels (if you do get any feedback).
Having made these tracks a couple of years ago, how does what you make today compare to them?? (ie if you have improved in that time, why not spend more time on some more recent tracks and send them off instead?)

Re: Suppressor - 4am
In short no, the first track was the best in terms of production values, but these releases, I would say, are below average production quality in terms of techno out there, I wouldn`t feel comfortable mastering any of them in their present state.
Just keep working at it and you will get there.
