Elude - Nudawn (Luke Terry's Downtempo Mix)
my website designer asked me to do a loop for my new site which will be up and running soon, so i'm told heh! this was the result, well a bit of it is, so i just made it into a little chill kinda tune.
Very nice Luke! I have a couple of pointers though...
There's a problem when you use the reversed percussion as it sounds like it skips at the end of the bar. Maybe if you cut it off a fraction earlier it would sound a bit nicer. Also the kick roll (?) at 58 seconds doesn't go with the rest of the downtempo tune in my opinion; it sounds more like an uptempo style feature. Ah well, I guess that one is just opinion...
On the plus side; everything else. Percs are great, strings are great, chimey type melody sounds great.

dig the funky percs..
sweet reverse.. but yeah, it does sort of stop for 1/10 of a second
when the strings come in, it takes away the funkyness the percs had.. when the percs came in, i was expecting a techno/house track.. but now it's trance..
Nice bells and such.. but where's the kick?
Might be a decent track to start out a set with.. but 2 mins into it and still no kick.. driving me nuts with anticipation!
Ok.. no kick at all.. interesting.. i guess that works
Cool percs! Though the transitions when you reverse the percs are not so good... Pads are really nice. Class

WHOA> the pads kick my butt!! And the bells are such a sweet plus!! Love the reverb choice on 'em. They sit so nicely!!
I, too, expected a kick to come in. You should make a non-chill version and put a good bassline to this too! Oh man...as good as this is, it makes you want to hear it again with a kick and a bassline riff/hook!
Although he did say it was a website loop so... it's PERFECT for that!
Nice work man!

cheers, the reverse perc is slightly out but if u sit it in, the notes go out over it so can't really win nevermind.
there is only a 30s section wiht no reverse being used on the site tho so its all good heh.
once upon a time we posted the original, elude - redawn on here, many moons ago. i have just completely my 2005 rework of it but i can't post it on here, just yet anyways

Hey Luke
Nice beginning here, percs are pretty mint, reverse part needs some attention yeh. Pretty warm sounds the strings have. The lower string (bass actually) is pretty dull, maybe it attracts too much attention for how basic it is.. put it back a bit or put a slight phaser on it or so just to phatten is. I liked the sound when it fades with that low pass, maybe just put a low pass on it to push it back a tad.
Peaceful tune, you won't have problems finishing this nicely i presume
liked it.
