Hey yo my loved gymers!!

I hope everyone is still making music in 2024?

I'm sharing with you a new bass track, which I have fun doing at certain hours of the night.

It's called Silence, be careful though, there's noise in it !

If you listen to it, thank you very much! and if you like it, I'm delighted!

Wish Y'all The Best

this is good work!

I feel some elements could be wider or bigger (reverb for space). like some of the vocal chops or other stuff. would be really cool to play with space there.

the first kick is like 1-2 dB too much for me. The one afterwards in the B section I really like.

the vocal sample around 3:00 is too panned for my taste, I'd try to make it wider instead of one-sided. But I always have that problem with music on here:)

No dealbreakers, enjoyable to listen to. Wouldn't change much. It's not exactly my fav genre but I really respect the production here.

Good job man!

Thank you very much for your feedback Matthias!

I hear your suggestions, and I must say that I even completely agree with your remarks!

This is among other things what this track taught me!

It's definitely very interesting each time to release a track, I listen to it constantly from another angle, and I learn from it all :)

And since you say that it's not your favorite style, I want to thank you even more for delving into it carefully! I can't resist saying that for me at first glance, it's not my favorite style either aha!

But that said, I think it's not really a question of style, but rather of composition, of originality, certainly.

I really enjoy immersing myself in all these musical energies, each universe nourishes mine a lot, and it gives me more and more tools to express it more accurately!

I'm trying to learn the rules like a pro, hoping to break them like an artist! ;)

Thank you again, these are beautiful gifts for me, I wish you all the best

Ps: You may notice that I still haven't figured out how to tag you in my messages, if you ever know..!

Cool stuff! I think overall the bass elements might be a little too muddy and it might be missing some more bright highend in general - maybe more compression on the master - Good luck sir

Aaah this search for the sweet spot which is warm but not muddy, bright but not aggressive..! It definitely seems to require advanced technique and workflow and very subtle listening...! aha let's continue, I have the feeling that it's becoming more and more clear tho, I hope I'm not completely missing the point !

thank you so much for taking this time !
