Airbase - Genie 2

www.airbase.nu/demo/genie_2min_sample.mp3

New approach, new melody, based on the original.
Not really a serious track, just playing around!


Posted by optik on Sep-21-2004 09:38:

hi,

difficult to tell a lot about the production - as it's a 32kbit file, but I'm assuming it's pretty good

has a really nice 80's style bassline, and a really nice feel to it (groove)

like the way it drops out to that repeated sample

melody at 3:55 is nice - sounds pretty classical; a bit anjunabeats - which is a good thing

would like to hear a hi-fi version =)

do us a favour and have a listen to this:

Ooh, that's nice. I've always loved the original and while this has elements of the original, it still manages to sound very different. Good stuff.

Hey Jezper!

First of all.. isnt there rules about the quality of the files?

Anyway...

It sounds really good... except all those artifacts from the encoding...
nice intro!

the thing at 1:55 is pretty mint!

tho it feels abit like its jumping too much... I would add something that keeps it together between all those small breaks... like a pad or something...

dont really like the mainlead... breakdown is nice! manages to get some power even with that melody... the thing you made at 4:55 is awesome! love that!

overall a very nice production!

cheers

surprisingly, i find this one very nice, proly one of ur best, but then again id have to hear a higher quality, i really like the intro


Posted by Vizay on Sep-21-2004 11:56:

this sounds awesome but unfortunatley, unless you update this with a higher quality file the thread will be closed :/

Rules state:
Samples must be at least 2 minutes long and 160kpbs in bitrate or higher (exceptions will be made for pending record label involvement if artists still wish to share their work)

Full tracks must be no lower than 96kpbs in bitrate, the ends may be faded if need be


My sample is longer than 2 minutes, infact, its the complete track. The track is not made serious as I stated, but thats not claiming the track not to be up for label discussions.

I havent made a track in three years that hasnt been involved with a label in any way, so therefor I choose not to post hifi samples, only lofi enough for people not being able support it in radio shows and in clubs. This has happened before when I used 64kbps samples, and I really wouldnt like to defend comments on the quality of a track of mine being played in a club at such a low rate. Thats why I keep such a low setting. If you still find this to be a rule breaking, I am sorry, but then again, I wont post any any more samples on here further on.

To all you who commented, thanks for your honest feedback!

Regards
Jezper S�derlund

The higher the quality, the easier to review... but thats just my opinion... you could add something that would make it useless to play... a friend of mine adds a voice ontop of the tune from speech... completely makes it unplayable on radio or club but still makes it easier to review...

Instead of being so awkward about it.....

why don't u just post a 192 2 MINUTE sample. U can fade the track in and out and showcase the best bits.

That way everyone is happy.

Just a suggestion. But a good one at that.

Fine, dont listen, no need to act all childish.

It will be appreciated by some, and if the reason for you to post such a low quality sample is allowed by the mods, this stays open.

But I'm not going to listen to 32kbps stuff, I have enough other stuff to listen to. I don't get it tho...

128kbps samples are NOT good enough to rip or whatsoever. Quality is just too bad. Post an edit (no intro/outro) and djs won't use it either.

This is not just pointed at you, nor it is personal. But all who duck below 128: it always annoyes me.

I see that luke changed the rulez? very weak luke, iv seen people posting WAY better samples with their signed music(mk-s , haak, sean tyas etc.)

Well it is your bad indeed, and no your not friendly, your bitrate sux, what is there to share or to hear? So please explain me your kindess, you never reviewed one tune here, and comes posting in the lowest bitrate i have ever seen on TA.
It's not childish it's my opnion.


Posted by Vizay on Sep-21-2004 14:29:

I missed the part about the recordlabel stuff so I take back what I said

but as others have said, wouldn't it be possible to post a higher quality sample with either the best parts or voiceovers here and there? (just take the voiceover from airbase sessions or something)

well anyway, about the track. imho it has a great sound, youve managed to stay away a little from your regular sound wich I think is very possitive (although it's nothing bad with your regular sound but variation is always great).

one thing that comes into my mind is how interesting it would be to hear this track with vocals

Indeed.


Posted by optik on Sep-21-2004 14:39:

It should be up to the producer what bitrate he uses imho - didn't make any difference to me except the download was quicker.

nothing stops me asking for a higher bitrate.

Labels do not like to take tracks that have been on the net at 128kbit - it's a very sad, but very true thing.

what maybe should be dealt with before the moaning about bitrates is the serious lak of comments per download a track here gets: my track below has just done 90 downloads - and has recieved 6 comments!!!

Massive84 - I'm sure airbase will review some tracks; hopefully starting with mine - otherwise, he's been quite an active member in the other forums.

It's up to me how fast i drive my car? no there are rulez period. if there wern't any you can drive as fast as you want.
There was this time when everyone suddenly thought his tune is label material, so we only saw samples of 96 bitrate or even 64!!!, TA was going downhill at that time, thats when Luke made the rulez with the TA community, and Luke we never said if you want to send it to a label you are allowed to post it in shit bitrate..this means everyone has the choice again to post it at what he wants, because who will decide now if something is label worthy or not? you?

If you are signed at a label, then why are you posting your tunes here? and your statement is not 100% true, Underwater is gettting signed, while he posted his Waterplanet full on TA, Haak posted Frenzy in a decent quality, and not it is signed on ASOT, and i heard it was the same with Bass shuttle. And don't forget Vadim Zhukov or Carl B?

no comment.


Posted by optik on Sep-21-2004 15:03:

massive84 where have you been?

If you are signed at a label, then why are you posting your tunes here?

you don't get signed to a lable any more... I have 4 tracks under consideration by 4 different labels - you get a track signed these days, not an artist. =)

- the reason we have to post tracks here is that there is no artist development in trance/dance any more - the record company wants a ready for sale track - when was the last time you heard of a record company saying "yeah, there is something there, let us pay for you to go into studio and work with an engineer to sort it out" - it just doesn't happen - your fellow producers are your engineers. If you are lucky they'll give it to a vinyl mastering engineer before they press it!

are you angry at me, or at luke? (I don't even know who luke is.. sorry)


Posted by alanzo on Sep-21-2004 15:10:

^ avoiding all the negative comments stated above..

awesome track, Jezper.. Genie is one of my all-time fav tracks and this certainly gives it a "2K4" feel.. nice to see that the style of your productions is getting more complex

been here.
just share a track or not at all imo and since he knows he is going for a label for it, why post it? he wants to share, whats to share at 32 bitrate? etc.

Luke is the moderator? and i find the new rule dangerouse, since everyone can post his tracks at 32kbs now because we can all say, yes i think il put my track up to label discussion.

Am not angry at all, am am a guy that is for all is equal, if other have to post it at min 96bitrate, so does Airbase.


Posted by dbl on Sep-21-2004 15:22:

baaaah... who care's about the 32kbit thingie... i know for fact that jezper make's quality stuff, so i don't feel a need to check the quality of the track really.... just nice to hear it, and i think it sounds great

but i really like the new melodie man
nice job
