my only complaint, the volume seems to be a bit on the lower side, have u not mastered it as yet.....keep up the good work bro....

Very Cheeky...

But in my opinion way too little happens for about 4 mins.
Didn't like the sample, that just totally got on my nerves.

As you can tell, I'm not a big fan of bootlegs but this is as good as any so no problems on that part. I just didn't think that it gave 'traffic' anything that it didn't have already.
Traffic is quite a minimal tune and I'm not sure making it more so made it any better.

I can't fault your technique though and in that sense you have done a good job.

Hope I didn't upset you by my comments. Just speaking my mind.

Cheers

zooter> the track has not been mastered, and i wouldn't know how to tbh!

Nem> Not quite sure how I made traffic more minimal cos I only added to it! Maybe because the traffic riff is less overpowering?

No offense taken btw, people will allways have different opinions. I personally like the sample but then thats because it reminds me of deep dish dropping it in pasha

its better that you do some basic mastering before posting....just a simple Loudness Max plugin would do.....then we'd be able to listen to listen to the details of the track better & give more inputs....cheers

Why would you want to maximise a bootleg. Its two tracks that have already been mastered. i didn't listen to the song cos my download limit is perilously close, but all you need to do is make sure that it is clipping at as close to zero as possible, so just normalise it. If you wanted to use a maximiser like sonic foundry's "wave hammer", then do so sparingly as it will decrease the dynamics greatly of a track that has already been mastered.
