listening:

got this movie kind of strings.. (not sure i like the progression much though)

good acid beat.. nice haunting synth..

i dont like the melody of the strings.. the rhythm is standard and a little too boring.. the tracks sounds kinda messy overall..

it doesnt sound like u spended much time on this track, ive heard a lot better from u man..

keep it up though

Thanks subtle.
I will try to change the strings.

hey mate,

peaceful track strings are nice here, percs in the beginning sound a little basic, at 1:40, the high delayed fx sounds a little off but it may be done on purpose

nice clap and acid sounds adding later

overall its quite a good job, the ambiance is wierd and i think you have to work on the groove / drive

peace

Hi!

Well I don't think it's peaceful at all! It's dark. But a nicely created atmosphere. Nice acid thingy and gated vox pad thingy. Nice percs too. Clap is a tad too wet if you ask me, and you should check the master output cause it's clipping here and there.

It's a bit minimal too and not really my style but i think that doesn't count. Nice work.

agreed with Jay, in everything,

although, you should rethink the string melody in my opinion,

other than that, nice work so far,

keep it up!

Cool string intro. Good way of introducing your track with that interesting melody and the breaks. The gated synth following is ok, but it sounds a bit too much like Vanguard. I think you should mask this by backing it up with some FX.
Really nice acid stuff then, nice FX. I like the melody progression... quite mellow, but also quite nice .. the percs work quite well.
Hmm, I do not really have any real suggestions for improvement. The production and everything is fine. I think you should work a bit on some of the Synths and FX so that they fit better. Oh, and you should try to add some quite hard stabs or hits so that your tune gets a bit more of dynamics. Anyway, just my thoughts. Nice one, keep this up

ok, typing while listening

intro is awesome.. those strings are gorgeous. very good kick too.. love those gated strings, really dark and eerie atmosphere. nice bassline
i agree with jay about the clap, the sound is cool, but it's too wet.
first hint of a melody.. good stuff. i expected a bit more when everything kicks back in. shakers are too loud and too wet as well.
the track seems to be clipping at 5:00

ok, conclusion: lots of potential right here, you're building the track up very nicely indeed. i was a bit disappointed after the first tiny breakdown. i'd introduce some more elements there to get a clear distinction from the part before and the part that comes after the break.


Posted by The Drow on Jun-06-2005 18:37:

thanks TOR.

I will work on it

Cool strings.

Wow. Big change of style when the bass and gating come in. Good work on the bass.

The energy in this track is due almost entirely to the dissonance, which is a good thing. It doesn't need to be fast to get me pumped, in other words. Good job.

Hey

i really like this. youve created a good atmosphere. the acid sounds are awesome - run straight through me. not so keen on the clap mind. the track is minimal and i really like that. rather different to most things ive heard.
you also have some delayed fx. not sure if theyre meant to b like that?

keep up the good work

Nice strings on the beginning of the sample, really like those. The acid sounds that come in are great, got a nice dark and energetic feel to it as it progresses.

A bit more in the way of more sounds would suit my taste with maybe some points having an extra layer, couldn't tell you what though, just generally. Maybe something to make it a bit more edgy and darker.

Nice track though, would love to hear an improved version.

Woah WOAH. Very weird. Definately not what I'm used to hearing. Which is good.

Is this theme music to death carnival rave? (j/k)

During the main part of your track I don't think the strings work with the melody or acid line as much. Others have commented so I won't go into yet.

The gated vox sounds pretty cool.

Very dark atmosphere. I agree that a minimalist style can give a greater opener, darker feel. For this to feel more interesting... I would probably add a few more layers. Whether it be more effects, maybe another pad. Maybe a creepy sub-bass break down?

Keep up the exellent work. This being not my style (nor do i listen to this particular genre) I can't really give you great advice, it's just my opinion. From the sounds of it, it's pretty damn neat.

Hey,
Listening ... U need to create more athmosphere to this, the intro it's too sudden imo, try to present the theme alone first, then adding the rest of the elements, also I think your drums sound too beatmachine , listening to this I imagine some full drum set, playing with all the hats, toms, etc, try to add more percussive elements and FX into the background .
The 4x4 Beat is interesting, but for some reason the strings feel away, try to balance better all the elements so they sound more like an overall.
In overall, this has potential to be a kick ass track, the strings melodie it's pretty sweet, creates a good feeling/Athmosphere by itself, ur sounds sound clean, I just would work more with all the Drums/Percusions and for the intro I would extended, adding a lot of FX and that, good work mate keep it up .
Kopi =o.
