Charlie Darwin - Mosum

Hi all,

here's a track I made. Wondering if anybody had any ideas for me. I'v run out of processor speed so I can't add any more VST's or effects.

Here's the link;

Charlie Darwin - Mosum

kind regards,

Charlie Darwin

i like the kick nice and tight, you should of used the same kind of compression on some of melody parts, the bass sounds a little out, good job well done

Choc

I'll have to fix that. Your right I think. I think a lot of it will be fixed when I master the track down. I'm all out of processorspeed, even een Compressor will be too much. Ill finish it off soon, some of the sequencing isn't too smoothe yet, but I'm sick of this track right now. Been spending too much time on it.

Anyway, thanks. I'v had very mixed reactions to the track up till now. Ill see how it all goes.

is this the master copy you sent me or do i need to get this one aswell?

kind regards martinP

p.s dont send that mix off (the one that i sent you) i've just had a load of promo's sent to the station.

so il do a new set for yah.

Posted by nhibberd on Dec-10-2005 19:19:

It's the same version as I sent you.

Ill be sending stuff off only in a few weeks when I have some more tracks going with some new techniques I learned. So you have plenty of time. Don't forget to make sure it's your best set yet.

Oh, and as far as the name Mosum is concerned. A friend told me it was a gun they used in the second world war. If it was on the German side i'll realy have to change the name. If it was on the side of the alies I think it has a cool underlying double meaning type of thing.

its a german gun! i think it was either a machine gun or a 9mm not to sure il have a word with my m8 he is in the army as a gunner so he should know.

il pm you the answer.

Well, my m8 got the inside information off Call of Duty 2. I'v got a copy of that now myself and i'v checked, it's the Mosin-Granat and was used by the Russians who where on the good side.

Hey, if you have COD2 too, dl xfire and add me 'cd1979' and ill beat you senceless :P I'm doing regular sessions with my mates, i'm thinking of giving up producing all together and devoting my life to COD2 and gaming in general.

Hey.

-Nice kick. Very punchy and it cuts through the mix well.
-Decent bass stutter, though you might try doing some stuff with a bandpass filter at the beginning. Maybe fuck with the order or it and modulate the frequency then drop out the bandpass filter somewhere and let it explode in sound.
-Nice pad coming in. Very airy.
-The vox are ok but try doing some filter with them fucking with them a lot.
-Nice low bass growl. Very driving.
-I like the vocoded (i think they are) vocals coming in through the background here.
-Where you break away from the kick and its just the bass and the vocals, try throwing a low pass filter over that and then sharply bring it back up just before the kick comes back in.
-The lead synth is ok but unlike the rest of the track, it isnt very driving. Try throwing some distortion and/or bitcrushing over it. It just feel weak against everything else.
-Outro is decent but it just ends sharply with no decay? Def re-render it with the decay .

Overall, this track has some really good drive behind it, but it falls short in the melody. It ends up being slitely boring with the melody being so weak. The potential for a kickass track is truely there but focus on making that lead as strong as you can so it cuts through everything. I'm not an advocate of using supersaws, and I'm not a overly huge fan of them, but this track would be really nice with a supersaw lead .
Grade: A (needs work on the lead and some more automation)

Cheers,
Zac

what did i say to you in one of your other threads charlie D

im sure i said you need to put some more melody into it like fictivision - symbols or armin van buuren - shivers (alex morph remix)

now you have another person telling you

Hi m8!!

Thx for your post!!

Not bad, but the first 4 minuts is to monotonny, the head melody is very nice, i like it!!

Greetings from Poland

Keep it up

Posted by nhibberd on Dec-11-2005 13:10:

I'm realy greatfull for all your replies guys. I think it will all be sorted with a similar supersaw lead on top of all this. But i'm prety sick of supersaws so i'll find some way of making it an original one.

I like the last melody part a lot myself and think it should be introduced sooner. With the melody in the first part I was trying to create an aprehention to the one in the second part, to make it recognisable. But I think I might have overdone it a little.

Pffff, at the time I thought this was the final master of the track but yet again I find myself changing stuff. It never ends!

Kind regards,

CD

Hey guys,

did some of the edits. Lead on top and some mastering tricks.
The only thing with this version is that i'v lost some of the depth in the kick because of a compressor effect I used. If anybody knows of a way to compress everything but the kickdrum, but still have the compressor react to the kick I would be realy gratefull.

It's turned out a bit more of a standard track with the supersaw, but what the heck.

kind regards,

Charlie Darwin

This is definatly the best track you've made imo. Really love that melody!
Wellproduced, but the sound could be better. More deepnes to the bass & maybe change or edit the kick.
Agree with clubkilla about the lead. It needs to stand out more. It's a great melody, make sure that it sounds as great as well.
Great work!!

Ps. Check Bittrance

I keep checking BitTrance. But our webmaster had suddenly gone incommunicado on us. I'v been recruiting, but only the webmaster can activate their accounts FGS.

I'm thinking of starting another alliance with existing members and webmastering it myself. Still gotto think of a name for it, but I'v had lot's of offers for help like graphical design and stuff. God I'm turning into a studio nerd! HELP ME!!!!
