hey Darek

I like this, very chilled but still driving feel - like the big reverbs

couple of things that pop out at me are

agree the bass gets lost. Maybe high pass the reverb and other instruments to make a bit of room for the sub?

it sounds like you have swing on the beats, and also the synth parts too? i would personally experiment with putting those synth parts in straight 8ths rather than swinging them too, i think that would sound better rhythmically to my ears anyway - realise thats just my perspective though. Nice tune

heres an instrumental WIP

bear in mind

1) it will have vocals and a real string section (there is a lot of space left for these melodic elements)

2) the Conga and bass will be replaced by a real recording (now i just played it in with a vst)

So lots to do on it still

Pretty cool Funky project man, like this style and vibe - later you need to find some way of creating this driving groove which will help you keep this upbeat entire length of this track - I would suggest to layer claps (2 or 3 of them at least) to punch through much more then what you have right now. When you have your life bass recorded let us hear it Chris

Cheer,

Darek

Just another Downtempo/Chillout WIP - some of those chillout track end up being release right now so it may be the next one lol - give it a run and see if this would do it for you?



Cheers,

Darek

Trying to update an old track with new plug-ins. Upgraded to Rob Papen Explorer 4, so what you are hearing above is presets from RAW and drums are from Punch.
It's still missing the Logan's Run vocal samples. Might replace it with something else, so I don't have to worry about sample clearance. My voice or Siri through a vocoder perhaps? But it does sound rather boring without vocal samples.

Loudness is -16 LUFS. Will be mastering to this level from now on. 48KHz, 24-bit. Still quite a lot of headroom there.

Bass is working fine at lease on my $20.00 headphones at work lol - nice hunting atmosphere and slowly unwinding melody is catching my attention Mac - so far so good.

Sorry man, can't really give any constructive comment as this is completely not my style of music but you are right that over the time you will need to add/create something to keep this production interesting - just my $0.02

Yeah, I hear you man but at this point in my life I'm looking for some more smooth and melodic genre of music so I can reflect and relax with it - my crazy time (like hard, metal and speed rock lol) is behind me and really looking forward to something more nostalgic

Still can make some decent Trance or House track

Cheers,

Darek
