Add pauses: your phrasing is too constant and it becomes tiring fast. Just because it's ambient doesn't mean you shouldn't have intentional melodic phrases.
Add tracks: in 2026 there's no limitation on the number of tracks you can use. Why would you have less than 40? Sound cohesion, I know; but you could always choose like 5 main sounds and a bunch of occasional ones for details.
Especially at 1:30, you could add some distant bells or something.
3:20 is too bright in comparison to the rest of the track, doesn't fit the sound selection, and the brightness isn't justified by a change in the composition/harmony.
Overall, it might be too repetitive harmonically: again, just because you're making ambient doesn't mean you have to stay on the pedal note for the whole track. Add a B section then come back to your pedal.

I do like your string sound, especially in the low register. Reminds me of Deus Ex. And harmonically you nailed the vibe. So you're getting there.

Posting one of my own dungeon synth tracks for fairness:
https://voca.ro/1m1IqZo1ucJ4
This was composed for an upcoming video game which is literally about exploring dugeons (a twin-stick rogue-like), sorta similar to Crawl.
So I had to follow some instructions: using gamecube-era sounding sounds, not switching up the harmony too much, looping smoothly, etc.

I'm still trying to learn from this song. Feels like I'm close but it's just so slightly off that I'm going insane. It reminds me of when I started to draw years ago, that feel when you draw a hand and looks awful but you still don't know how to fix it. It's like that but with music, this is neat.

i used my phone to record myself whistling a melody the other day and now I don't know how to get listen to it
i'm fucking too old for these phones these days i guess
>>
>>129914701
I hope you find out. One day I found a recording on my phone of me humming a bassline. I don't remember recording it and had forgotten the bassline but I know it was when I was taking a leak at a rehearsal. I still use it to this day, it's the highlight of the song.

Damn I need to start selling some tracks so I can buy a new laptop

Any tips on turning my male vocals into female vocals? I have a whole track I've managed to eek out with some "female" vocals I detuned, but I'm kind of getting some sigher pitched whining with some of it.
>>
>>129910980

This whole consumerist trend of naming everything with words like ultra, pro, max, etc. is getting quite fucking annoying. Anyways is this product good?
>>
>>129910032
If it is dungeon synth I'm afraid your only option is to embrace the shit and leave it as it is
>>
>>129910840
thank you anon for the critique, I will definitely do some of that.
Do you have SC/BC? I know it's forbidden in the /prod/ thread but I'd love to find more amateur DS creators to bounce ideas off of.

>>129916480
fair which is why it's hard to get genuine critique for it.

This guy apparently did his own vocals for it and "feminized" it in audacity or some DAW. He made a video explaining how he did it at one point but i can't find it now sorry I looked for like 10 minutes.
>>
>>129911975
It's fine until the drums then the reese and vocals are mashed in the same freq bands and the kick isnt doing it any favors.

Here's something I'm working on for the /dmp/ movie music album, please take a quick listen (it's 27 seconds)
I know you'll probably say I'm using the sidechains too hard, I'm still learning how to use them, so I'm working on that
I also feel like it's missing something... like it needs another layer or sound or melody, but not sure what yet

>that feel when you draw a hand and looks awful but you still don't know how to fix it
I love that feeling. It means you have room to grow and the path forward is right in front of you.
Your rhythm is totally whack, jack. You need to write it in 6/8 for that triplet feel.

Side chain sounds ok. Make sure to solo that track and make sure you're not removing too much of the sound you want.
Tracks like that could always use some screaming electric guitar
>>
>>129917807
Thanks
Yeah everthing actually sounds alright in solo. I can try a guitar thing

Firstly, Rohan theme is great. Secondly, you could add in the backing chords that support that main violin melody, which would add something that's missing. Thirdly, basic 4 on the floor over a simplified version of the melody is a bit uninspired, so could also just be that the idea is not great as is.

Are you the dungeon synth guy?
>>
https://voca.ro/1kfvNEmhFiHi
thoughts on what can be improved, thinking mostly about the ending section as it might not really fit the overall theme of the track
>>
>>129919434
Thanks
I do have the backing chords there, I can try to make them more distinct. Everything is blending together I think. And my plan is to make a trance track out of it.. so, four on the floor. Right now, just trying to nail down the main sound elements and get the melodies in.
>>
https://voca.ro/163GouEFj2Lm
i've gone completely schizo and can no longer tell if I like the lead melody, it sounds out of tune but I can't put my finger on it or fix it or if I just need a new sample or EQ
please help. any critique wanted
>>
>>129916674
so new kick and eq stuff better?
hmmm i think the bass needs work and im not a fand of the synth hits
>>
>>129920877
Yeah it needs eq, the progression is aight though. Try sidechaining the bass and synth to the kick if you're married to it.

Little did the poor soul know what would happen if I had motivation to set my gear actually up.

Nor his neighbor.

Or the guy a couple, six I think, apartments, over, that I wrote to let me know when it's a bit too loud that I mean

made a demo of a song. I come closer to have enough material for an evening-filling concert, but I don't have a band.
Maybe I could record the clarinet part with a friend who plays clarinet.
It sucks to be limited to these MIDI demos

NTA I love me both some good soft and hardware....but outside of them getting money from me, I'm kinda failing to see what they want from me.

Uninspired. You know who you are.

Just kidding, ofc you don't.
>>
>>129924663
maybe you know the wrong people? I'm not a dawless guy either, but I know that playing a synth is a better flow than pushing a mouse around
>>
Why did the musician keep all of his synths on the table?
Because he is drawerless.
