Thumbs up {*UPDATE*}[FULL 192kps ] Silverstone - A Dive Into Space

finally .. i seemed to be heading for tech sound iv wanted, theres no effects not eqs, no real voluming, compression nothing, theres plenty more synths, percussion , automation etc, to come.

But for now! heres the tune:

*UPDATE*

its now complete. still need all that work tho.. its just incase u wanted to hear it full


Posted by DJ_Silverstone1 on Jul-10-2004 10:09:

iam desperate for some feedback now lads.

i feel its the best track iv done...i can actually listen to the hole track

wanna know whats bad about it so i can fix it!

Smiling Frog Hi ho silver!

...sorry...had to.

This is a very clear sounding track...you EQ'ed it perfectly!!
Like the perc samples you've chosen...very spacey indeed.

Where did you get these background effects!? GOLD, baby! PURE GOLD!

@2:00 This is a great melodic development...nice progression. Very relaxing. Perfect CHILL! Really can't give much constructive criticism...seems great!

@3:50 Very great break! Wish i could build that like you.

I find the melody is very odd...it's melodic..but not catchy. You can't really hum it or nothin, so it doesn't stick in your head.

As a whole, this is an outstanding work! Everything fits from the samples and synths you've chosen to the whole layout of its progression. Lives up to its name!

Oh...and the piano is cool! Good work Silver!

Liking the sine effect from the start.. would maybe sound better introduced somewhere later on.. much like about 1.14, where it is brought back in.

Nice choice of sounds, suit nicely.. could turn into a nice breakbeat/progressive track from the start.

One thing i've noticed whilst listenin, is theres no discernable bass line? synths are there and the levelling sounds spot on.. but i can't seem to hear any bass.. so you might want to make that more prominent in your mix.

need anymore info bout what i mean, gimme a shout

I really enjoy this track !!!
It's original, doesn't sound like all those "trance-formatted" traxx.
Good sine synth, nice progressive feeling, I just close my eyes and relax while listening to this great Trance song.

Respect!

fuck, amazing comments from everybody

@Digital Aura - outstanding work? why that brings a tear to my eye
seriously thats.....extremly great of u to say such word about my work. Can say how greatful iam for that.

well thats the idea u can chill and listen many more times.
Its long and its chill and its not catchy, that was very much intented. Again thank u for such Fantastic comments!

@Dawnson - thats well thought out review there, describing that possibilty, tho Dawnson, iam afraid that introducing it somewhere else is not a option really the intro sounds shitty with out it, and it doesnt really fit coming else where mate its tried and tested

Well Noticed! Very well noticed. There is no bassline, the track will turn into something diffrent if a prominet bass is introduced, the sine is designed to work as a floaty chilly bass that comes in and out supplying those nice low ends.

@Sunquest - Well, we all have duties . No suggestions yet, well great comments there none the less , should be good see what u can point out later


@Ace303 - Ahhhh another fantastic comment , again hugely greatful of it.

i dont get normally to many replys on my music dont know what it is, i revew lots of tracks normally and my tracks still seems to sink alot just like this one almost did . So...a mass of thank yous go out to u lot and Carl Crellin! Hes been an Huggeeee support and i owe him big time.
Make sure to check his music too some time! goes by the name of Stott & Crellin! make sure! U hear 8 Years MASSIVE imo its exactly what is says a story of 8 years its amazing read it and u'l know! all brought to by the amazing skills of Stott & Crellin.

I live by the words that are in that sticky above...Its my mantra now.
If someone has the decency to listen to your stuff and comment on it, regardless of whether they liked it or not, you owe them the same courtesy!

Thank You Too Silver!

OH! and BUMP!!!


Posted by Thunder5 on Jul-13-2004 01:22:

I've been trying to find time to listen this. For some reason I don't have time to do anything now-a-days. Hours just fly by without me even noticing.

Damn nice track there mate..

Everything seems to be in place and sounds clear..

I think the piano sounds slightly distorted (or that could just be my crappy headphones), but somehow it fits the tracks atmosphere.


(BUMP)


Posted by EternalMusic on Jul-13-2004 05:50:

Hi,
Commenting while listening:
Some slight distortions at the begining. The whole track has a very nice idea . THe main problems are the bass and lead + lack of perc. The bass and the lead could use more resonance, the bass hollow and unrecognized in the track. Nice pads . The piano could use a better EQ itself. Reduce the hardness on it as well.
Good work, keep working.

Posted by Mike_Foyle on Jul-13-2004 09:49:

that sound at the begining is a bit loud i think, and im not sure if the kick and clap suit the track. Also, the progression sounds a bit strange to me, like it suddenly jumps from one section to another, maybe thats the idea, i duno. It just hard to know when we reach the end of the phrase. Lead and pad that come in are nice, but i think bass is quite important, especially in that bit. Perhaps would have worked better as a breakbeat or ambient track, because when the beat starts, it doesnt really fit the ordinary 8 bar phrase structure that it aught to, and thats a bit off putting and strange to me somehow, i cant tell how many bars there are in the phrase, but its not 8 i dont think ,and its not a multiple of 8. Where the phrases end and a new part is introducd or old part lost, like the pad at 3:29, some filter envelopes or fading the volume on the pad mite work well, just to make it smoother, i dont like the bits between 3:51 and 3:54, i think it sounds a bit random and irrelevant. Onto the piano, it could be nice but there are some key clashes which ruin it i think, perhaps put the piano up and octave so you can hear where they sound muddy. It has potential, but i think the phrases are the most confusing thing, ireally cant tell when one starts and ends some times, and i think changing this and restructuring it slightly would make it alot easier to follow, also try and make the phrase transistions a bit nicer so that the song doesnt go straight from one phrase to another. Nice emotion and feel to the track generally, just try some of those things and i think it would be a big improvement. That piano i really think needs sorting out.

Hope this is constructive and that you feel inspired to continue working on the track, ull have a very nice finished project


Posted by DJ Jim Craik on Jul-13-2004 09:57:

Hi mate, this isnt really the style I play usually but I enjoy this track, it reminds me of some of the more mellow Solarstone stuff.
The melody is nice and it sounds different to alot of tracks out at the moment(this is a good thing), my only gripe is that I feel you could have done alot more with the drum roll out of the break.


Well done

Jim


Posted by auujay on Jul-15-2004 05:04:

I am loving the lead and the general feel of this track so much. I think I get what you are saying about you not having a straight bassline on purpose. I find the percs a little repetative at times but I don't think you need to change it.

I think there are some chords in the piano which I am not sure sound so hot. I also have to echo the sudden change that happens at 3:29, definitly need some sort of transition because it loses so much when the lead and strings cut out.


Posted by DJ_Silverstone1 on Jul-15-2004 20:41:

Luvly Feedback guys!!!!!!!!!!!

what iall probably be doing is putting in a more complex transition in and sorting out the piano...cant say i really wanna do much more.

changing percs and kicks is not gonna happen... iv used many different samples for each it sounds way to complex for the chill i was going for.

iall make changes..just not to many..i got something new going now. Which i hope ur all going to like.


Posted by Massive84 on Jul-15-2004 21:06:

starts real relaxing.

don't like the kick there is some sound on it, or it could be clipping.

the perc needs more and it's not allive.

the transition is good, but it can be smoother, way to static imo.

synths and pads are nice, same with the voice.

piano sounds so agressive don't really like it.

keep working on it, ideas are niee, same with the chords.


Posted by DJ_Silverstone1 on Jul-15-2004 21:18:

yep the sound on it is from whoever took the sample. That kick fitted best honest.

again add more it becomes too complex for the chill i was going for


ty for the comment on my synths

iam going to change the piano dont worry

am not asking you to add more hats and shakers to make ASOT perc, but you can add those tiny little subtle congras mini perc and such, i love that kinda perc, 1 hihat and rest mini things.


Posted by DJ_Silverstone1 on Jul-15-2004 21:26:

Yeah. and those little bling and ting sounds and such.. Which you can't be sure if you heard it from the track or are your ears just fooling you.

i didn't hear any, but if they were there they should be mroe allive, EQ? delay? reverb? etc.

i just giving him an example, it doesn't have to be a congas, or ting bling .

Nice idea's in the track! Tho I think your mix is a bit thin. Could use some more sounds, but I like your melodies. They're not that standard, pretty cool. Keep it up!


Posted by DJ_Silverstone1 on Jul-17-2004 19:38:
