Well you already know my thoughts pn this as I've had it a while.

Excellent track, really hard edged & cheeky feel to it. I could Imagine BK & Nick Sentience spinning it meself

The whole progression is superb. Loads going on.
Some of the effects you've thrown in there on some of the sequences are mindblowing.

the main section of the track is quality aswell. The build up from the breakdown is outstanding.

However there is a big flaw in the main part.
The EQ'ing on the track is way off IMO.
It doesn't sound warm enough and some of the highs need to be cut down and the bass brought out more. It all sounds a little fuzzy IMO
But thats easily fixed with a bit of mastering

Other then that its a superb track.

Good work

u have achieved to blow me away...damn dude...this is a massive bomb...pumpin from here to god knows where...the melody is dead on where it should u...the beat is dark and drivin...i wanna know wtf samples u used, had some massive ones in there...i can imagine hearin this on a huge ass system...

first off, the melodies etc are all fantastic, its one of the best tunes ive heard on these forums; however, the mastering is off.

Way off. I'm shit at mastering myself, but this really needs work. It all sort of sounds lo fi, and muddy. As bren said, it isnt warm enough either. I say send the rns file to bren or something and get him to master it

But yeah, get the levels/mastering sorted, and you have a monster

i agree! your meriva remix sounded lofi as well.. overall a great track, but you really need to get it mastered indeed (if you can't do it yourself, get somebody else to do it because it sounds like a liveset rip now)! the melodies are good, i'm just not too sure about the build to the main melody with all those kicks.. i feel the kick is too strong to have so many of them during the build (roughly between the 5 & 6 minute mark)

in other words, i prefer the luke terry remix for now..

Me too! He asked me to post it for him, so i will do soon!

Thanks to everyone who has posted their commments, greatly appreciated (Bren )!

I really need to sort out this mastering, got any tips for me? I know i could get someone else to do it, but in my eyes thats cheating! any ideas?

I'm no good at mastering either, but try jjust eqing it till it sounds better :P.
Mabye look for some mastering articles around the place?

Posted by Icone on Aug-04-2003 07:42:

It indeed is a great track Shep

But I can see where the others get their eq-thing. It's not only that maybe, the sound of the main lead kind of adds to it. The melody that's accompanying it, sounds hifi to me, which is a little of a strange mix that way
Perhaps make it a little 'wetter', fill up some space with reverbs and/or delays.

Looking forward to the Luke Terry remix
Cheers,
Wim

Nice track Shep but i agree that it needs mastering, IMO it is better 2 get someone else 2 master it for you than doing it yrself, a fresh pair of ears ect... if Bren will master it 4 ya, you could have a stormin track here mate

Come on bren, av'it

I don't want to buck the trend but for whatever reason this just doesn't appeal to me... Plenty of good ideas and melodies though! The sound quality is a weird one - surely things don't sound as muffled when you're actually making the track? Out of interest, how do you convert your tracks to mp3 as I'm sure somewhere along the line that is at least partly responsible for the muffledyness?

Posted by Eugene on Aug-06-2003 02:29:

Here we go.
Listening now.

Pretty fast. What BPM?
VERY good melody.
You know who this would appeal to? K90. I suggest you show it to him because he may really like it.

Good synths at 6:19, as well... nice work man.

1337 percussion. i like that kick. very driving feel. wonderful use of effects. the strings are pretty, but they sound kinda...dirty. dunno how to explain. i really dig that main lead. good job!
