Sean Walsh - Driven (full track, 192kb/s)

This isn't really a new song and I posted an earlier version of it here in crap quality in September when I was a forum newbie, but I think it got overlooked for the most part. This is a new version that is louder and better produced, and has gotten numerous plays from Guy Ornadel and a few others (Freezel comes to mind )

http://flamevault.com/~celerity/a/S...0-%20Driven.mp3

I still play this out on a regular basis and think it rocks at the club, for those of you into tech trance anyways.

Enjoy!

Nice one


Posted by M1cro5lave on Feb-07-2004 11:08:

I think it stills need a little changes, the percussion, frequences and the whole last 3.30 minutes. But indeed, it's a good track... with a little changes I think it would really rock the club!!

Nice job btw

This is good good! Good ideas here but I think you could make a few changes to improve the track. I think more percussion would help this track along a lot. Actually, I was gonna say change the lead sound a bit, but I actually like it.

So maybe just add a bit more percussion to make this more mint than it already is.

yeah, heard this awhile, i remember it being quite different than celerity 17. I like that nice low bass mate, but yeah, the main sections of the track before and after the breakdown feel like its just missing something inexplicable, others say its the percussion so I'll differ to their more informed suggestions since I lack the technical knowledge to make appropriate assestments and suggestions.

keep up the good work mate!

Wow, nice track man. Not actually that techy I think, but hey it sounds great!
DOn't agree with the rest that it still lacks some percussion, that's all nice. Maybe some more edit/build-ups would have been nice. But you say you have rocked the club with it, so if it works, it works you know.
And getting plays by Guy Ornandel is pretty great too imo! Synth is sounding pretty nasty too, cool...

Yeah like this track, definitely has its own style.

Hey man. Nice track! It's pretty deep and there's some cool sounds goin on. Maybe could do with another synth goin through it tho on a higher octave than the main one. Not sure if that would would change the mood of the track but it would accompany the main lead. Maybe toughen up the clap/snare and treble sound too.

Nice name of the tune tho. I have made a tune called 'Driven' too.


Posted by noikeee on Feb-07-2004 21:47:

mmm i like the electro synths, both the lead and the bassline at the start can see it rocking a club

i think overall the problem is that it is a bit too simple. not a major deal cause the elements sound very clear and quite pro. i think that after the build, it gets a little bit boring, do something with the lead or a bassline key change or something. also agree that a couple more layers of percussion could be cool.

i'll add this to soundstation351 playlist if you don't mind?


Posted by Sean Walsh on Feb-07-2004 23:02:

Absolutely, go for it =)

I made 95% of this tune during lunchbreaks in the last week of my summer job last year, so that might explain the somewhat minimal feel to the tune. I agree with some of you when you say that it's lacking something almost intangible; I tried countless things with this track for many hours and found nothing that didn't really violate the original feel of the tune. If I were to remix this tune now I'd do as Illicit suggest and add more little buildups and edits, but I think I'm pretty much done with it and will just move on to other projects.

Thanks for the comments guys, glad some of you enjoy it.

Love this so far mate, skills are superb - I can't believe you achieve this with Buzz!?!

Nice build and I like the kick.

1:53 that hat is really doing it for me, nice and grooving.

Bassline has a very nice flow and I like the initial synth line - just up my street in terms of what I like.

Love the chords - they rock. Nice unusual/dark edge to them.

Building again at 3:13 - this is quality so far!

3:42 at the break now -

5:04 not too sure about this bit - in a club would be mint

5:36 - sorry to say I don't really like this lead sound too much - actually I do now after getting a bit used to it - original to say the least. Still, if it works for your club and Guy Ornadel then it must be fine.

I guess I agree with the other guys - I'd love to be hearing more notes on top of this y'know - it seems you could really build on what you've got - relistening to the build again it just seems that there's so much more potential to this song than has already been realised.

Great track, production is amazing, love the vibe, still room for more stuff I reckon though. I can't believe you wrote it in your breaks! Cool.

Could I try a remix of this? Not sure if it's possible to get that sound without using Buzz but I really really like the original chords and the build etc and would love to experiment with some ideas.


Posted by Sean Walsh on Feb-09-2004 16:31:

The main lead is done with Buzz, the rest is all VST for the most part so a remix would definitely be possible. I could re-create that buzz synth pretty easily too with some other instruments, so it's really not buzz dependant.

Again, Buzz can be extremely powerful when used properly. Obviously machines made by some 16 year old in his basement aren't going to sound as good as top of the line VSTs, so that's why I use top of the line VSTs instead of said machines =P

Thanks for the comments, maybe I'll refurbish the buildup a few months down the road if I have some more ideas.


Posted by EternalMusic on Feb-09-2004 19:00:

I realy like it Sean! Except that buzz stuff in the middle, just not my style. good work mate .

EM.


Posted by Steve Gordon on Feb-09-2004 21:04:

Pretty good. Not my style but still an impressive piece of work.

Not too keen on the main lead sound though. Does need a little something extra I think. Can't put my finger on it exactly.

Anyway, nice work

like commisad, i dont know much about all the technicalities but it does sound great at a club. think ive only heard it once in the setting tho.

i also really like how sean incorporates this little bit of sound in his recent tracks, i dont know what it is, it sounds good, i call it the sean sound

someone said there are some less original bits in the track, but i find the edginess rather unique, helps the track to stand out from all the mushy trance balads

excellent job tho, no question there


Posted by Darkone55 on Feb-18-2004 16:12:

Nice track. Only a few points:

- Percussion, is soft and simple.
- Compared with the kick, the bass is to soft.

But overall a very good track!


Posted by sonic_trip on Feb-18-2004 16:22:

nice track sean!

COol, thanks for the comments guys.

At the club this is almost the opposite, both percs and bass are loud, percs even a little bit too loud, hehe.


Posted by Sebraa on Feb-19-2004 09:41:

good work sean! Reminds me some wicked drum and bass track elements

Can you make the lead maybe little more detuned ? Just curious?

nice work!!
