I'd love to listen, but the link doesn't work... just takes me to some web page. How do I DL the track?

Posted by MrPit on Feb-20-2005 22:25:

on the bottom of page you have to "choose" download type...try to push "free" button ..

Thanks... I feel kinda stupid, but honestly, it's not that easy to find.

DLing now. I'll post a little review once it's done.

Damn... I'm just waiting for a sick drop to carry this track out into space... what a tease!

I really like the sounds you've created. That nice, big, whiney synth really grabs your attention, and the melody carries you away so nicely. I love the portamentos/pitch-slides you've used.

It sounds like there is a bit of clipping/distortion, but that could be just due to the MP3 bitrate.

The melody is a bit crunchy at the start... there might be a couple of notes that don't go so well with the chords. Just 1 or 2 in there that don't sound quite right.

This is a nice preview. Can't wait to hear the finished track.

tx! there is a distorsion on the main lead, i'm still working on that sound.
everything is "temporary"..we'll see when it will be finished, probably more different from this preview.
I need to relisten/rearange that chords, i think you have right...it may be annoying with some notes wrong played

ok, the track is almost finished, i updated the preview and the link as well

Posted by DJ_Elyot on Feb-27-2005 04:02:

Just DLed the new updated preview.

WOW. I really like your beats and the synths used at the start... The synth at 0:04 is very Ronski Speed-style. The one that comes in at 0:35 is fantastic... reminds me of Havannah or something. You better bring it back during the climax or I'll be very disappointed.

The main lead is better... still perhaps a bit too much distortion at times. We'll see once you get the synths edited a little more.

I have only one complaint...

No!! Where did that lovely little portamento (pitch-slide) go? ...the thing at 0:47 in the last preview. I think the equivalent time it should be at in this preview is about 2:04. Bring it back! It was so cool...

Posted by MrPit on Feb-27-2005 07:55:

YEAH!! Well i must do more testing with that portamento because after manny listens it may be annoying, it should be used very carefull. The main lead is more simply without it, it's true but it's not annoying..i liked the portamento too...probably the final song will have the portamento )

Hey man this is actually really good! I think the kick is too dominant in the mix... or maybe the track is overcompressed... but the entire tune seems to duck everytime the tune kicks, but not in a daftpunk sidechain manner... more like in the compressor is flattening the track manner.

Posted by MrPit on Feb-27-2005 08:47:

true, duck effect here ...not duck in final version ) or less audible duck will be

sounds quality, but get some more percs in there

Posted by DJ-Kreing^^ on Feb-27-2005 21:42:

Very very nice!
That plucky guitarish synth sounds awesome, love the fluty pad as well.
I feel like the break is a tad too long and when it all kicks in there isn�t enough energy, it doesn�t really explodes like it should.
Overall its really good, great sounds and atmosphere, well done.

Posted by MrPit on Feb-28-2005 21:52:

yes, i study how can i put some interesting percution elements without bothering the mix. it needs a little testing..)
