Costa del Sol - Relax (My first production with Fruityloops) 160 Kbps

Hi TAs!!
Last week I posted here liquid sunset, but when I had finished it I thought about changing radically of software to obtain better quality productions and I chose Fruityloops to initiate my "new stage" hehe
So, dont be so hard please, ITS MY FIRST TRACK WITH FRUITY!!
Btw, the style of the track doesn't have similarities with my previous work, more trancier, than this more prog-trancier style, like Filteheadz or Gabriel & Dresden...
So, if you write your 2 cents about it, I would be very thankful!!

Time: 05:36
MP3: 160 Kbps
Tempo: 133,000 BPM
Style: Prog/Trance

Costa del Sol - Relax (Original Mix)

Cheers, Costa.

wow, you already got a track with one week of fruity? you're fast!

EDIT : well, you've got a good idea there i think for a very moody and deep track. though i'm missing a bassline (i don't think there is one?) and i don't like that kick... you should try a good sample instead of the basic fruity kick i think
the lead that starts at about 2:00 mins isn't 100% in key with the other loop i think. maybe a bassline will fix things staying into key.

keep on experimenting i'd say

cheers,
LW

I think you mean 133 BPM. 133,000 would be .. a little fast.

Hi Lightworks!!
Thanx for this nice feedback! well, you have the true, I was having problems doing a good bassline for the track because I dont have a full-dominate of fruity yet.. DO U GUYS KNOW WHICH PLUG-IN GENERATOR IS BETTER TO MAKE GOOD BASSLINES?? about the kick... mmm I dont see any probelms here but hey, I respect all the opinions!!
Cheers, Costa.

Tryin' to be smart here, huh?

In many countries comma is used to separate decimals, like here in this case.

133,000000000000000000000000000 BPM is just a more accurate way of saying 133 BPM

hahahahaha yeah! 133,000 is a little fast for you, but for me this means only 133 BPM
Like deejay_naku said in many countries the comma is used to separate decimals!! Ok, thats not important tho!! I need comments about the track

For a first track with F'loops this is pretty damn good.
The the perc is very nice, sorta reminds me of the Gabriel & Dresen Remix of Andain - Summer Calling
However, it badly needs a bass line, preferably a really deep acoustic sound bass or sub bass.
Also I dont like the melody...sorry. Strings playing the chords with some sort ofplucked stlye synth playing a deep melody would suit the track more then the one U have used.
Keep at it tho, I expect a total stormer next time

Hey man,

First track with friuty.. well done.. i opend fruity once and was like.. wtf.. i'll stick with reason

not to bad. I agree with Bren-F though.. needs a bassline.. maybe something like this..

k---k---k---k
--bb--b---bb--b--

i really short stab bass.. not 2 sure but definatly needs something.

i like the main melody but some not pregerssions just didn't ring right in my ear.. also.. with the instrument.. try adding a couple of voices (if you can.. don't know friuty) and play with some reverb.. reverb can really brighten up a sound.. especialy on cords/pads

one thing in it i do like though is how your structured the hats.. very melow.. i likes...

not my style.. but.. for first time in frity i give 10/10.. in the scense of a track.. 7/10.. keep @ it though..!!

wow, this is quite impressive for a first track. these sounds are all pretty standard, you need to work on sampling/synthesizing, but your sense of rhythm and timing is quite amazing for a first-timer. don't stop producing anytime soon, that's for sure

Posted by Costa del Sol on Jun-21-2003 08:14:

hey mate! wow, niiice comments here! Thanx!
Also, somnium, its not my first-track ever, just my first track with fruity! Before I was working with Music 2000
