Mr Sam vs Fred Baker- Forever Waiting (Alpha Concept Remix)

Mr Sam vs Fred Baker- Forever Waiting (Alpha Concept Remix)

My first track since getting my Delta 44 & BehrINGer Truth B2031A Monitors.

All Comments appreciated....

Nice song!
The bass sounds abit thin - maybe some distortion to it would help? Like a tubeamp. The arpeggio is really nice! The effect that hits in at around 3:33 sounds like it should be put a little more back in the mix (to me).
I enjoyed listening to it! Thanks for posting it!

good track, fast paced. does justice to the original

nice pad in the beginning.. what did u use for it?

the arp sounds very software-ish...

the track, overall, needs a boost of about 10db and a boost to the treble on top of that of about 7db.. aside for that, it's pretty good..

Cheers for the comments guys.

Alanzo - Im aware of the boost problem, still got some final mastering to do. Any1 want to offer?

Also, I used the Pro53 for the mid & high pads, and a V-Station for the bass notes.

nice soft intro
ok now what u gotta work on
kick needs louder, and the synths have too much reverb on them...
im gonna geuss u made this on fruity loops from the kick ... so work on that a little
snare needs more treble
overall sounding very oldschool :P just mastering u gotta work on
ttyl
peace out

well, 1st listen, up ht e volume.
at 2:40, big problem, synth lead goes down et the jungle break is too high. The rolling snare is too high. down its volume.
the track is good, the high and low frequencies are good. The only problem comes from your mid freq.

Posted by JohnOC on Nov-18-2004 18:21:

ok. this is what it needs:

-kick is too standard
-hats are too quiet
-bass is a bit hard housish, try get it more rolling
-general EQing of the percs and snares is strange, sounds really muffled
-synths and pads are nice

overall, good but lots of work to be done. im sure the next from you will be better

Cheers guys!

Top notch advice. I've been pleased with how my synth work has been coming on, though its not suprise my percs have let me down. Definetly something I've gotta work on.

And, yeah Im working with Fruity, lol!

Hey Mantrance

Love the bass for a start - really deep and rich.
Change the kick maybe and make the closed hi-hats a bit less sharp.

really nice synths, nice and deep again, great pads too.

Excellent work

Hey man:

1) The filterer synth at the beginning needs to have more feedback on the delay so its fading out once its finished playing if u get me? Its sounds weird how it just stops...

2) Agree wih John (god forbid ) on the bass, too hard house.

3) The main part doesnt feel like the main part, if u get me? Needs another element in there!

So far, so good - stick at it!

Hey mate, sorry for being a bit late on this one.

Gotta say this is one of the best works I heard from you. Drive is very good, as well as the overall structure of the track. Nice work on the lead!

On the other hand, I thought the track sounded a little 'quiet' - I had to really turn up the volume sometimes. Maybe crank it up a bit?

Keep'em coming

Great track. Very good progression to it.

Altogether, great work. Sounds like your new monitors are doing good

Will PM you now.

This is definitely a step in the right direction, though as some of the others have mentioned there's still some work to be done. I'd consider adding another bassline layer for one; keep the hardhousey sub-bass notes in there but add something on top of it so it has a busier sound. A better kick would be another suggestion, and a bit more careful EQ'ing on the synths. Otherwise, quite good!

Not sure on the legit on this, but wanted to share with the rest of you.

We were just wondering if we could showcase your remix on our radio show VIT Radio. Your tune is exactly the type of tracks we are looking for. Our show is on Sundays from 7pm to 9pm EST.

This was left by Greg Eklipse & Dany Higoa.

Quite looking forward to it.

Sounds great to me, kick needs a bit of work though.

Posted by ManTrance on Nov-30-2004 10:12:

Cheers for the replies guys.

Where do you thnk my kicks needs more? More of a snap, more low, mids? etc...

Posted by ManTrance on Dec-22-2004 21:05:

I've finally finished this one (I think?!?)

I've completely re-worked the basslines, adding a rollings bassline complexing the off-beat bassline.

I've changed some of the percs, and tweaked the equing & patterns of my hits.

Think Ive had a pretty good turnout of the mastering, though this is my first proper attempt on a finished track since reading a load about it.

Anyways, enjoy.
