State of Matter - Broken Promise (Mycron Remix) (sample)

hello, mates!

i think, i didn't post here any new stuffs since around june, but now it's time to share a clip from one of my newest project.
Some days of hard working on my remix of State of Matter's magic tune called Broken Promise, and here's a small clip of the possible result.

State of Matter - Broken Promise (Mycron Remix) (sample)

Anyway, i know that not much here, and it needs a huge eq work
and mastering too, but i just would like to know if you, like
my work or not,

feedbacks, suggestions always appreciated!

ps.: maybe you can expect a vocal mix, if i can catch my female vocalist anytime!

thanks,

Peter

This is beautiful man, I like what you did with the harmonics, sounds a little more melancholic. My only crit is that the lead sounds a little bit thin, like a little too much resonance or filtering, fill that out a bit and you got a great piece of work.

ok synths.. maybe a little weak.. bassdrop works.. I do not like the melody very much.. percussions are ok.. when the build up is finished at 1:58.. everything kinda falls apart.. the drive is gone..

this needs more work indeed..

Dancing Dude

this track is pretty chilling
the main melody synth i think could be more fuller, maybe add a delay to it? because the way it is now its a little boring, not enough energy, too flat as well, just try some reverb and delay,
keep working at it, good stuff
peace out

Hey Pete!

Those pads are really sweet. And I like the way it all kicks back in, without the main melody which only comes back at 2:27... gives it a lot of energy. Your percussion is driving and goes well with the bass!

So, do what you can with the main melody like people have suggested, and you'll have yourself one sweet remix here!

Keep up the fine work buddy.

People have made some good suggestions so far!

1:10, that bassline that comes back in to support, is a bit weak. Could be done a bit better. Give it more low end oomph.

I think you need a better buildup at 2:05-2:10. Its good the way it is, but people are complaining about energy. What you did was subtley brought back everything, but becasue there was no real buildup at the end of the breakdown, we don't feel the energy at all once all the instruments and layers are back in for the main flow.

I know I'm such a whore about this, but you might want to try during the breakdown (1:01, have maybe one phrase with a solid staggered strong kick/bassline, this might make it easier on a buildup, because you can leave some of the other elements out while you utilize this, plus it keeps people dancing on the floor a bit or aware that you won't let them go!)

Dunno. The other guys that made suggestions before me are way better and way more knowledgeable/experienced than I.

I actually like the melody and such, its got a lot of great potential, as is, its pretty good so far. Just needs a bit more variation, the whole sample kind of sounds a bit too similar.

Cheers!

Definedly a bit more low end needed with the bass line.

Really nice chilled down feeling you got here..

Might give more feedback after a good sleep..

how come you called your track broken promise? when you know Luke's track of the same title has been signed up?

it was pure coincidence, no harm intended hehe

just shows great minds do think alike ey

track has nice pads but they drown a bit.

main lead needs panning to make it more clear, not very keen about the new riff you added on the lead(if it is new).

ya kick and bass need lots of work.

nice fx, like those.


Posted by Jay M on Aug-23-2004 10:17:

Nothing to add really, I agree that the pads are just great, same holds for fx. Kick and bass could be better.

The melody doesn't quite do it for me, seems a bit random.

Not a bad effort, keep up

ps: Don't let them steal your track names!


Posted by Timothy on Aug-23-2004 10:23:

Nice track. It need some work, but it's got potential


Posted by djrenco on Aug-23-2004 10:29:

i love these sine bells in the beginning. kick is a bit too soft and the bassline is a bt weak and soft. melodies are nice nice synths

cheers
Renco

HI evrybody!Just downloaded this track!
I have in general 3 points here.
1)The BassDrum to my mind seems to be out of mix and is to weak to be a bassdrum.I aslo find the clap sound to be smth like oldfashion stuff.
2)i can't hear any bass line here.
3)Pads and strings should be more stereo in my opinion.

All in all it is a very good track with some small things to be reworked a bit.

PS. it is only my point of view.


Posted by tiefthon on Aug-23-2004 12:22:

the synths are not big enough to get the atmosphere you want to reach with your song...

IMO the melody has to much disharmonies...

btw: is there a bassdrum


Posted by fineart on Aug-25-2004 12:37:

hello Pete,

Sorry for the bit delay.

What I'd like to outline about your remix. You have done some kinda magic with that pad. Really impressive. Quite pro stuff. Eqing and fxes are ok.

What I can advice you to try a make different notes of the main arpeggio lead and gain up the drums a bit. Maybe more percussion is needed. After the breakdown the main should grab you. It is not like that, however it is pretty nice.

I love that you've done overall. Keep up the good work, you are heading to the professional scene. I have been listening to your suffs, this remix is really cool. I cannot advice you anything do it your way and you are gonna get there soon. Like your style.

Fineart


Posted by fineart on Aug-25-2004 12:38:

Anyway I agree with Leonid, quite useful advices.

gimme pete! rawr! lol

I love it so far, it has a lovely atmosphere although the pads could be just a little softer imo. But they're still great.

Claps coming in at 1:30 could use some more editing I think, feels like it stands out more than it should, I dunno, maybe...
I love the melody, and the synths are great. I don't think the kicks should be much stronger, but it could be better.

Overall I think this one has great potential, and could be one of your better works with the right touch. Like someone said, it has some magical stuff , keep the good work up m8!


Posted by SignalRunners B on Aug-29-2004 18:37:

Sounds great, love the pads. There are a few conflicting notes i noticed like at 0:56, something goes wrong with a low note or something.

I'd use some choruses and such to fatten up some of your leads if I were you...and some awesome suggestions have already been made by other folks as well! Follow those and I think you'll have a great track when you're all finished.

it helps me a lot!
