Took a good look at your sig, hehe

Good haunted atmosphere, I like the synth thingy that comes in at one minute and a half {Numbers on my keyboard aren't working} Also the sci-fi sounds in the background are cool. Maybe it needs more wickedness or something. Only thing to do is to enforce the evilness of the song, by using very abrupt sounds or SFX.
Dark Trance sure is a thingy going on at TA, ay? Well, I like it, let me know if it's updated

Thanks for your reply weBs
Anyone else?

Hey man,
Listening ... Hehehe, very Computer sound FX intro :P, I like the Muted synth u use in the very begin, maybe it has too much reverb on it though, but I like it, it has a funky feeling. I like the semitone u use in the Fat sound, is very sweet.
In overall, not my genre, so I cannot give u a real opinion, just lacks of Drums, because they are a bit simple for the moment, kick/Snare/Hats, etc, I would try adding soem congas and shakers, or a loop.
I like it, keep the good work man .
Kopi =o.

i think this is the basis of a great tune, and this is the sorta trance i play/spin.

i have to say that making the sounds a lot more "dirtier" qwould imporive it, like rougher, raspier synths.

also a harder kick maybe (although this is more a personal prefrence )


Posted by linkmage on May-22-2005 13:22:


I dont know what to say, I think you made this track in 5 hours....
maybe more percs or loop? MASTERING (need tracks bouncings,because your bass is overflowed other elements

NICE WORK DUDEY ,not my style,but....cool


Posted by Takkra on May-22-2005 15:56:

actually I made all loops in 2 hours and put it toghether in 45 or so minutes ..
but ive gotta make it moooore dark and evil and twisted so im sending in some padzz and PERCS yes im working on them..
guys thanks for all your replies! ill have a look into the bass too.. and the tb303.. so much .. but,
Im definitly n�t going to change the melody and the atmosphere..
mastering isnt actually something im really good at so..
i think I did pretty well with my 4 weeks fruity/vanguard/ACID experience .

If anyone else has some critism or suggestions.. i'd gladly accept them !

UPDATE

click


(4:48 is just a joke )


Posted by PDM on May-22-2005 17:41:

Well I checked the old and the new update, let me say you did major changes in this new update, cleaner sounds and such, but I still think the bass is overshadowing the rest of the track elements.

Is it too powerful/hard/messy when you compare it to the other elements?? should I turn the bass down or the rest up?
somebody help me..


Posted by DJ Shibby on May-23-2005 08:25:

cool, dark and techy

more high end percs, some compression and EQ (your pads are spilling all over the mix, centralize them maybe), especially on the kickdrum

the bass needs to be less loud, this is especially noticeable around 1:20. cool acidy lead.

you definitely keep the elements coming, and you keep them fresh.

more percussions, duck the bass under the kickdrum, and lower it a little; compress, compress, compress, and a little eq, and you'll have a solid track.

thumbs up

mmm

Hey takkra... am now subscribed to forumz
Nice theme you made there, some elements are bit missing though.
it needs a lil bit of spunk in it. the dark sounds are gd.
<>Convergence<> hehe

Keep up the good work


Posted by thoughtlessjex on May-24-2005 20:13:

Your breaks seem to not compliment the rhythm of the rest of the track well. I'd suggest fixing the kick to be more reminiscent of the lead.

You need to get some more sounds and energy in the higher frequencies. As it is, your track seems small without a full frequency range.

In fact, in general, the track could stand to be louder. EQ and Compression needed.

4:48 may be a joke, but you should keep it. It's totally awesome, IMO.


Posted by Takkra on May-24-2005 20:49:

erm.. sorry I dont really know what you mean by

What I'm trying to say is that your treble sounds aren't of equal volume with your bass sounds. Maybe make your hats louder and advance the treble on your snare's EQ. Heck, you should probably make your snare louder in general.

When I say you need a full frequency range, I mean if you look at a spectrum analyzer of your track, the treble side of the analyzer is largely silent.

You should probably read up on EQing and compression to get a good idea of how those those concepts are used to make your tracks louder and fuller.
