Evil1 Carl B - You don't understand

Hey!

I just took me in the collar as we say in sweden ( ) and finished my new tune... It's somewhat different from 'All day' but I hope you'll like it anyway

I've been mixing this one for days... have been so hard to make it sound clean since there are quite many sounds colliding but I've done my best and I think its fine now.

Carl B - You don't understand

Enjoy!


Regards,
Carl

yay finally another one

first thing I can say is that frm a dj's point of view that first break that comes in around 1.25, you should try to extend the part before it so the break starts somewhere around 2 min, horrible to mix with otherwise

apart frmo that I can't really find anything bad about this track, imo it rocks. Very nice melody and thoose sounds, must be a virus huh?

it's not as hard as all day but it would work great as a B-side for it or a followup, send it away somewhere asap!

Some of the notes in the progression sound a little bit off, but the production quality is amazing as usual. Nice work.


Posted by Mane on Sep-06-2004 22:38:

production level is amazing !! this track is as good as all day or even better keep up with great work

damn I'm good at guessing bah, wish I had the money to buy one myself

ohh btw, wanna ask you another thing, do you do much processing on your kick? it always feels so natural and not overdone in your tracks

haha naa.. not really... actually.. I'm slaughtering it!

Hi m8, great tune! Production is spot on again. I liked this tune even more than All Day, because
a) the incidental fx and percs etc. are really amazing, and
b) 4:35 Works really well...
Really enjoyed listening, thanks!

btw. if you want comments on the mixing you might wanna concicider posting a clip from the song in higher quality, hard to comment it at this QL.

listening now. cool start! i like how the percs filter up. great acidy bass at 35 seconds. and that rev ride cymbal or whatever it is is awsome. nice driving bassline to. that first breaky bit works quite well. but it also almost cuts the build up in half which is both good and bad for me. its goot because when it kicks off again its that bit more powerful, its bad coz it looses power before it gains power. but it just depends on your taste and what your going for, for me it works good and bad lol. second break now. that plucky synth is lovely. this iswhere alot of well made tunes start to get crap usually, like the melody comes in and u think what the fuck was he playing at, but this melody is an exception. REALLY nice melody and it stands up to the production of the rest of the tune, so im very impressed and glad about that. not too srue about that string lying over the build up, the notes sound a bit random, maybe if you made them into string chords rather than single strokes it would work better, by the way i hope youv noticed in nit picking to hell, because to be quite fucking honest with u, this tune is so close to falwless that if i didnt nit pick i would have nothing to say apart from "yeah its wicked" and i like to go into depth especially when i come across tunes with this much potential. the only imperfections i can find are personal and down to taste, so really you are as near perfect as your going to get. very good work man.

Mike

fuck me i didnt even realise this was only 96 kbs, goes to show how well its mixed!


Posted by carl-b.mine.nu on Sep-07-2004 09:50:

Thanks alot for your feedback Mike! Really appreciate it!


Posted by carl-b.mine.nu on Sep-07-2004 09:55:

Sunquest: hehe thanks mate! I'll send you the midi later

Pho mo, Mane: thanks alot! Great to hear that its better than 'All day'

State of Matter: Think its about personal preference about the notes... some ppl notice it.. others dont... thanks for your comments!

just listened to it now mate and am very impressed again. dont think that it is quite as good as all day, but that is just down to personal opionion. still very high quality producing, and the only problem i found with it was the first break at 1.25 like someone else said. 1.25 isnt the worse length of time (unlike firewall - relections, which is an absolute joke), but i personally would prefer a bit longer for the mix. would definately play this. keep up the good work

that was my first thought as well, this must sound amazing in 192kbps!

i really love the melody, it's very uplifting and even a tad M.I.K.E-ish..

the strings are a bit too soft i think in combination with that massive main lead, but overall this is a fantastic track!

send it to a few labels.


Posted by Massive84 on Sep-07-2004 12:53:

wow great dark intro carl!

i think the kick clips a tiny bit but it could be my headphones. it is a tiny bit to loud as well maybe?

damn you can just hear how overwhelming hardware synths are.

melody is ace.

perc area could use some work

but besides that can work nice with All day as an Ep .


Posted by Icone on Sep-07-2004 15:26:

Sounds very nice there mate! Love the melody. Although it might feel it just drags on after the second small break - maybe add a little melody on top to give it another go?

Bassline and percs are ace, even at lofi.

Good job once more! Keep'em coming
Wim

PS: I got the edited version of the remix almost ready - will send it to you by email if I don't get on msn


Posted by carl-b.mine.nu on Sep-09-2004 00:24:

Thanks alot everybody!

Wim: if I dont see you on msn or something... mail me the remix

another flawless production in my opinion from the man of the moment. what is it about sweden and good music where do you's get it from. love the darkness of this tune lovely strings and pads. its not quite as good as all day i think mainly because it doesnt have a really powerful lead synth that all day has.

but mastered to perfection and sounding atmospheric and engrossing. how do you get them sounding so dam warm carl. you must be using hardware is it?

keep up the good work thou look forward to hearing more from you, your one to watch in my opinion.
