I like that experiment style,but I don't like your default snare....
try some FX and try to rotate your synth knobs.....for synth you could add some delay,and try detune it ...try different type of bass sound...

Thanks for the feedback. I might try a different snare, not sure how it should sound though in comparison to the current one. Yeah, needs more fx in there, thanks for the tip. Not sure whats wrong with the bass currently, any reason please?

Thanks again.

this is very experimental stuff, but need a whole lot of work man to even sound OK.

you need to bring some new exciting elements to the track, to make it sound fuller or something

good luck mate !

Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah i understand it may be a bit low on elements but thats the style really, not sure if filling it with more sounds will take away the feel of the track or not. Any suggestions? Not always the killer synth that makes these kind of tracks.

Thanks.

Your songs are getting more and more structured. You have a great base idea there, but you could make it even more interesting with crazy effects and little variations of the theme and beat. As I said, keep working, you are developping your style with every song you make.

Pretty much like everyone else has said. You're starting to develop what kind of sound you want. Sound more effects might do more for the track even if it is minimal. The snare is a tad boring. Try some eqing on it and make it sound a little different. Other than that you're making great progress because I definitely sense structure in this tune.

Thanks guys, didn't know you'd heard my other stuff. My style may not be the most popular, but it's nice to hopefully offer something a bit different.

Yeah some more fx and tweaking will definately be applied, cheers guys on the suggestions. Guess i was a bit lazy on the fx side of things this time round.

+1, I concur, I am glad u are developping ur style but try to be more creative with the sounds, fx, panoramics .
Kopi =o.

Cheers Kopi. Guess i've just got to get rid of a certain level of lazyness and get more in there.

Minimalistic, yes... it's got some taste to it... something very unique... very very unique.

I don't like the snare much myself, but you shouldn't stop mixing for us. I somehow see this track in an alien child's daytime TV progam.

Sweet!

Thanks for the feedback. The snares definately going to be changed then. Will certainly keep working on this one.

Posted by Jay M on Jan-03-2006 13:01:

Haha some real funny sounds in this. Try to eq the stuff and give it a crisp sound! Minimal is full with edits and fx, work on that too! Good luck

Thanks for the feedback.

A new version of the track is available at the same link as in the first post, so would love some feedback on the changes.

Link below too:

Thanks

now it looks like minimal experimental break beat..;-) ..I think you need upper mids and highs...
9/10
experimental stuff...some guitar would be great there,some humor touch

Posted by Semirk on Jan-04-2006 01:09:

Thanks for the suggestions mate. Will have a little experiment with some guitar, if not in this track for one in the future.

ohh dear where to start. The beats at the beginning are annoying and they trip over themselves. The whole tune is very repetitive and has no flare and no grab. You really should create some funky basslines about 2-4 and repeat them. I understand this is experimental but it still poor. When I downloaded this I had high hopes coz I like my stuff and you dogged it so I thought this guy must be a beat master maker but sadly this is just not the case and as for link image giving this steaming turd 9.5 that just affirms my belief that him or you have no decent musical taste so I feel a lot better about you slagging of my work. On a side not Link images tune was below average too, no offence!

Ok.

Seriously though, how could you give my tune a bad review and then release that stinking worm riddled corpse? That was my honest opinion and I wasn't retaliating it really is just that bad 1 out of 10 (1/10)
