Critique my 500 work... 2 beats

Let me know how I'm doin as far as how the tracks sound, good or bad, it's all appreciated! These 3 all done on the 500, recorded to acid & finally ran through t-racks mastering software. Any suggestions also would be great!

http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7013312 << goin for a old school feel

http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7009646 <<used some of the same chops in track 1

(3rd beat removed)

Yor are deffenetly on the right track, but it seems that your beats is not tight enough.
I would put some faster drums on it, etc a high-passed drum 'n' base beat.
It's a bit stoned (in a god way). Keep it comming!

Cool, thanks... Guess what I meant to say also is that I'm lookin for some feedback on the quality also... I know allot of you other producers on this forum have access to nice expensive monitors...so maybe someone could let me kno quality,volume,distortion,ect..
if you notice anything that could be improved on in the mix generally speaking.

unfortunately I gots these cheap ass passive monitors and about a 60 watt (if that) sub ... walmart crap basically so I been tryin to balance the mix best I can usin that... tax time around the corner tho I'm copin some monitors before I start bangin my head on the wall.

I will check it when i get in the studio.

im feelin the first two dude. thats pretty dope, keep at it, i love that vocal sample that you used in the second one.

the third one isnt really my style, sounds too happy or something. i dont know lol, it made me think of a cartoon or toy commercial.

but keep at it meng.

Thanks man... I completely agree about that 3rd one, like I said tho, not really my style... just messin around really.


Goodlookin tho eimer & damien907... Truly appreciated! ! !

damn, where all the critics at? lol

i dunno what i could critique. sounds like you're developing your ear. like most of us on here. keep doing your thing.

Fair enuff...thanks... well put by the way..."developing my ear"...I like that... absolutely correct! Peace

Tears-this track just has that "vibe", cant really put my finger on what that vibe is..but im feelin' the hell out of it. The drums sound crisp and crunchy, the tempo may be a little too slow but it works. And the "tears falling" vocal sample during the chorus parts are sublimely beatiful. 8/10

Fallen-Incredible! that transposed vocal phrase "falling" that you got during the chorus parts, kicks ass. Drums are punchy and laid back all at the same time..real crisp and clean. The organ/guitar stabs? during the verse parts are very nice. Cant say a bad thing at all about this one. 9/10

Thanks fam
