Starts off really nice, flows really smooth, nice subtle but effective effects I was expecting it to be longer though for some reason when i heard it.

This track has Great Structure, Sweet Ambience, and The Melodies are Untouchable.

The Mix needs to be tuned just a bit, sometimes the amb synths are too prominent and almost drown the drums and rhodes.

Also, wonder if you could maybe pick a different waveform for your bassline? on the upper notes of the bassline it just seems too midrange. if your using a polyphonic, try mixing in the current bass waveform with a gritty waveform at a lower octave, and bring that midrange into bass.

Overall this track is the heat.

feel free to check out my stuff...

Sounds good.

Hey. Thank you very much for the comments and, wow, sorry about that wierdass comment last night lol. The bass does seem to be a little rich in middle frequencies. Ill see about changing it a bit. Not sure I want to make it a dirty bass :P, but I'll try it and see what it sounds like . Thanks again.

Cheers,
Zac

hey..

nice beginning.. not sure the albino bass is 100% though..

pretty nice lead and arrangement

loads of variation..

some more percs and a better bassline.. thats all i have that could be better..

special track u`ve made..


Posted by Axolotyl on Jun-06-2005 02:30:

Groovin track. Some good swooshy fx and good programming in general. Thats a shitload of synths to use btw! Mixing and sound quality is pretty good but I find it all kinda gets a bit muddy at about 2.30

I'm going to go against the grain and say I'm not really diggin on the melody too much. It feels very sparse and drawn out. Tecnically, its good and progresses well enough but I just didnt find it too inspiring with no real peak. If you were going to remix it, I'd do a shorter version with more focus rather than a progressive on, but meh... what do I know

Very nice sounding and interesting track you have going so far,

Imo, the lead that kicks in at around the 3:00min mark should be left there for a little longer and the bassline should be better to accompany the lead...cause that is a NICE lead!, just needs a better bassline i think.

That twangy lead is very nice , short and catchy.

As for mastering,eq, at times it does get muddled up in terms of too many sounds (some with volume too high or low freq) cluttering up the track overall.

Very fresh sound you have here though,

Totally digging this prog track.

What I can here are some nice atmospheric sounds which are very easy to my ears. I'm not much into this style but it shows a lot of variation. Some nice FXs and a cool lead.
Maybe one little thing: It seems there are too many sounds fighting for space in the low midrange. Perhaps a lowcut on the pads
will be helpful to make the bassline come out clearer.

Anyway very good work. Thumbs up!

I second him on that, the melody progresses smoothly, but I can't find that peak of inspiration.

Don't forget to work in the lower frequencies mate.

Nice chilly track.
