only a 64kbps version, but hopefully it's enough for you guys to decide weather it's good or not.
i'm pretty satisfied though..
comments are welcome

Sounds great man, all the best selling it. I'd put a few more fx and stuff in the breakdown, but it works pretty well anyway.
good luck!

It sounds really good indeed.

Posted by M1cro5lave on Oct-01-2004 07:12:

My best luck to you mate!
I hope you get it signed, it's a really good tune.

This is a cool track - good opening - nice bass

super synths - you cant predict what notes they will be hitting - I like that.
Very dreammy break.

What software did you use?

hi a98.

sorry man i find this one very hard to listen too, it seems to lack a serious amount of energy, transistions, effects, percussion, synths, basically its lacking layers in my opinion. and it sounds somewhat out of tune on the main melody. it might just be because its in lo-fi but i'm not feeling it.

production and mastering wise thou i'd say its very good since this is 64kbps and it still sounds very nice and clean.

in my opinion i think you need to introduce more elements, so the bassline does'nt get boring and structure the melody at the break better by using nice big strings or synths.

sorry if i'm sounding harsh but when i hear a producer with obvious talent i feel they should get the necassary honest feedback. listening from the point of view of a potential label owner who would maybe know sweet FA about production and just basically liking or not liking what he hears.

p.s. i'm only producing 6months or so and nearly finished mastering my second tune so when i stick it up soon, you can slate me too bits hehe

This one is kinda boring from 00.00 to 03.00... Hmm...let's see now - here's a melody..Nothing special yet (04.20) Nope, the melody isn't making its way into my heart.. Totally uninteresting melody, imo. And in the mainpeart, the pads are too loud. If you mute them on your mixer, everything would probably sound very empty, because they are filling alot of space in the soundpicture at the moment...

I agree with the the guy who replied before me - don't waste your talent on such boring productions. The melody in this one was lame. Very lame. Sorry

I think the tune that you have in "the official beatmaka mix" has much greater chances of being signed. That one is awsome!!!

I don't know...the main melody might not be massive, but I like it because it's different. The song itself is very boring in the beginning but I still liked it a lot...sounds anthemish.

thanks guys...
there is a lot to fix now..
mainly the main melody which sounds amateur, gonna try to get it flow somewhat better maybe change some notes or something.

i dont think the track is boring!
i think he is great
the melody is great too!

really good job!
but i think you have alot of work on the production.. everything sounds way too loud..

anyway great job and good luck..

if ull get signed u can get sued either...for grabbing a stolen samples..your kick in this tune is stolen from: "Aalto - Rush"...
concider that by taking other artist's sample can get sued or just turn you down.
very nice track indeed and as A.Y said work on the production and use your own freaking samples ... Goodluck.

For posts sharing your latest/greatest work or otherwise, as of 06 April audio samples have to abide by these rules...

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

Threads containing audio clips that don't follow these rules will be closed immediately.

I hope Luke will close this thread. I really hate those low quality sound posts. 96kpbs should really be possible for anyone, even for those who hoped to get signed.
Why do we have rules then ? Even Airbase changed his mind and put up a better sample of his tune...

Of course you could say you're an exception ( as mentioned in the rules ). But then we all could be exceptions if we just tell that we hope to get signed...lol...

I like the concept of the lead melody, maybe just change some of the note a little bit, to make it more emotional if you know what i mean...The note placement is good, its just that the actual notes themselves are kind of boring...and you know how it is with songs like this, if the melody is boring, everything else is kind of eh...especially for labels...for them if they hear a melody that will sell, the'll get you a remix. So work on that.
