downtempo beats inside

my current b-side to nexus - next

great track, but i need opinions on my new slow breaks style

nexus - next (found atlantis downtempo mix)

its 96kbps, so its moderate quality for both high speed and dialup users

great idea

turned out quite well too, one or two things in my opinion need to get addressed.

first of all - is there a bassline? you could do with a big fat slow bassline to compliment the beat., i can only hear the two synths.

second, the beats are working really well, but they still have a very 'trance' sound to them, you should try and get that down-tempo sound on the kick drums, i tried something similar and i set up a chain on the drums, applied just to the kick; Compressor with a slow attack and a medium threshold - Reverb (small room) - and the compressor again, with the same settings as before, try it out but JUST on the kick

love it though, keep me posted

yes!

my first semi satisfied customer, that sounds kinda sexual

as for the beats, i just raped them in wootyloops

i didnt concentrate much on the bassline, since i fucking suck at them, so it the track is kinda drum n lead lol

i might go back to finishing my flutlicht project, i kinda started and got lazy

Kool, The Bass Drum added on 0:19 kinda dioesnt fit, maybee decrease the decay to get it a little sharper.

Track Sounds very Trancey, never actually heard trancey downtempo, hehe.

The track on a whole sounds pretty empty, some pads would sound kool maybee some effects as they is none, pads can add real atmosphere and that's what the heart of a good downtempo tune needs.

Interesting listen, keep it up !

yes, i added the bass kick to make the drums a little thicker, the funky d-loop i had going, just wasnt gunna cut it

i would add much fx but this entire track was done on a 233 machine, imagine the amount of cpu i needed...

woo i made new genre trancy downtempo <- d-trance
