Thanks a lot! I agree on the dreaminess of the guitar, perhaps in the future I will make an ambient/chilled version.

*drools in excitement* yes an ambient version would be incredible

The start realy got my attention. But as soon as the bass comes in it gets spoiled. The bass and hihat seem to just come in on Q at the start of a bar and don't seem to blend themselves into the track. Try automating them to fade in fast but not just Q-ing them. It's ok to Q a full beat pattern that realy kicks into the tune but seperate beat elemants Q-ing sounds just a bit amateurish.

Better drum samples are all over the internet.

Your bassline that comes in just before 3:00 probably sounds ok on hifi speakers but they will Whhhoooomp far too much in a club. Try to EQ out all frequencies on that one below about 100-200 Hz.

Your Piano is a few cents out of tune.

Your main lead is very repetative and seems to click too much. It's good you did some filter sweeps on that one tho.

all in all good work. I don't mean to be too critical, might be the time of the month.

kind regards,

Charlie D

No problem... critiquing like this is what helps me realize my faults and improve my future productions.

I've been working on the vocal version and I just can't get it to sound the way I want. I think I might skip out on it for now. By the time I somewhat EQ the guitar out, much of the voice is gone... can't seem to get the right amount of reverb... things just not falling into place.

If I had an acapella I'd probably be done with it by now. Oh well...

Whoa 14mb, nice hehe

Nice intro, guitar is cool, nice effects. the kick is punchy, cant really here it into effect yet. I have to agree with the clap not sounding right but in ways it blends in, maybe turn the volume down a tad?

Im luvin the effects, good work there. The main melody is melodic soundin i have to agree and is nice and plucky / dreamy. In comes the bass, nice sounds but is clipping. Back to the kick, its weakening down a bit in the main mix but that could be because of the bass...

Nice notation on the second synth, should pop some widening on there and effects, get it to stand out more. Overall good stuff, room for improvement but no1 is perfect and thats why were here. Hope my feedback helped.

Thank you very much! By the way, I still enjoy your chilled remix you made a little while back

Posted by Dew50 on Nov-02-2005 17:07:

great track! i really love the chilled vibe that it gives, perfect for relaxing and just kicking back. i'm no producer so techincally i can't tell u anything, but just wanted to let u know that i'm really liking it! if you ever finish a vocal version, be sure to let me know

The beging of this rocks, so lush sounding... I dig the bass line that comes in. Its been said but ill say it again, the closed high hats that come in in the last build up seem like they need to be eased in or maybe brought in a little later or maybe bring the level down a tad bit, but once it all starts building it sounds good to me.

Hey man

Sounds very cool - I love that main part - nice synths indeed . Percs need more power i think though, but thats all I can think off.

Don't worry, this is the first time I've gotten more than two or three replies...
