Joey vs Ricky -- The Ocean [128, 4 min sample]

Ricky gave me a melody and voila, what i've managed to come up with so far. It's only a build and a break's worth so it's not finished yet. The title sounds cheesy as fuck so any suggestions (mainly looking at Ricky since it's his melody) would be appreciated.

Cheers, Joey.

Hey joeey man

Sounds cool as fuck.
About the name for the song - I'm pretty awful when it comes to chooosing names, but I'll have a think .

Hm.. it seems as if there's some latency on the synths, like they're just a few ms. late. Clap is ugly m8. Yeah there's a lot to be done cause the synths are a big blur. IMO you didn't have to post it this stadium.

Anyways.. now I'm inspirationless for a title, maybe work the track out first...

I like your track very much. The intro is kind of long but the wait is worth while for some nice synths, imo.

Inro is very boring. Even though you're trying to make it DJ-friendly, try to make it interresting as well

At 1.20 you should have introduced a new element.. Hmm... Percs stopped around 2.20... Unnescescary (did I spell it right, hehe) break, imo. Doesn't bring anything new to the track. There's supposed to come a melody after 4.30 I hear... But that's way too long buildup imo. Good try guys, but it didn't impress me though You tried to make an epic, energic trancer with lots of power, but you failed. Because I felt it was kinda flat, lifeless and boring. Sorry if I'm harsh... I'm just trying to be honest

Keep it up - I know both of you can do better than this!!!

^Alex man, thats how I want you to review all my tunes. Fucking hell, just let it out. Awesome.

Now excuse me while I go jump off London bridge.

...

Respect to everyone else as well. I love you all.

Listening to it...

0:01 - decent kick...
0:27 - nice acid sound, altough its little too loud
0:40 - poor clap, its dry... put some delay & reverb and increase the volume
0:54 - dont like the OH, its too loud
2:00 - the incoming synth is 'blurred' and sounds muddy

Overall:

- poor percs
- sounds flat and muddy
- nice FX

I think a melody form RickyM deserves a better treatment
