How many climaxes in one track?

Been puzzled about this for a while now...
How many climaxes or "Peaks" should one track have?
We make no seperations between vocal and instrumental tracks which will toughen your choice...

2 sounds good.....3 is too much

Id say one... Why should a track come round again with the lead if its allready done it? It has nothing else to offer the second time around and becomes boring

One big, major @$$ kissing climax is all thats needed

i say 2

Posted by oDrori on Apr-02-2002 23:47:

I go with 2, I found lots of m,ore psycholopgical explenations for why coming with 1 but for some reason 2 still fit me more....

3 Is there mostly for vocal tracks with the typical
House>(Bridge?)>Chorus>House>(Bridge?)> "C" House> Chorus

2 for sure...

but the second one has to be greater than the first for sure...

tilt - i dream
second peak = bliss

Two. Shane 54 - Equinoxe 4 is a perfect example of how it should be done. 1st one should hold something back for the second one...

2 is just right. 3 in only the rarest of rare cases. But, as always, the track should sound good, regardless of the number of breakdowns/buildups, whatever

2 is usually good, but they cant both be equal, it has be building or breaking down. salmon/

Posted by Mark on Apr-04-2002 04:43:

actually hard to say. i think i prefer 1 massive buildup over 2 but it varies from track to track. having the buildup come again later in the track can make it boring FAST.

One major peak for me and a few little ones during the build up, mmmmm nice ....

TWO climaxes of course...one to get ya all pumped up for the FINAL one....3 is dragging it

i like 2, but the second is shorter, eg push - the legacy, lost witness - happiness happening
and of course delerium - silence (tiesto) had 3, which worked

Yeah this is usually how it works in 2 - peaks tracks, cause the first one needs to be warming up and building and the second one need s to be "Wham! Goodbye".
That's why the 2nd break's ussually shorter as well... Though some include both breakdowns pretty long with the most typical of these being S&G.

About Silence, it's all a matter of view but the way I see it the Tiesto ISOS remix has 1 climax... If U understand what I mean, you have to differ buildups and progressions in the track from climaxes, peaks, choruses (usually in vocal tracks) or whatever you want to call them.

Another example would be Nu NRG - Dreamland that has one climax, but a developement when the piano comes in, and also when the bass comes in... which caused some of us to think ithas a lot of climaxes (Again, if you keep believeing there are more than one and see these as climaxes, respect to ya, it's all a matter of view)

I prefer just one, but sometimes a tune sounds also OK with 2 or more climaxes on it, then I have no comments

Posted by Haak on Apr-18-2002 00:33:

Matanka - Lost in a dream (Push transcendental remix) should have 2, cause it's so damn good! It ends too soon

Posted by tijs08 on Apr-21-2002 22:31:

2 for me!!

when you hear Clear Blue Moon... you will understand!!!

Posted by noikeee on Apr-22-2002 22:11:

1,5

that rounded by excess is 2 -> I go for Maths in this poll.

But seriously, I think it depends of the song. 2 peaks, the second better than the first is the best. But you can't make a live set with 2 peaks in each song, that would be stupid - 1 peak in most of the tracks, 2 in just a few more special ones works perfectly in sets for me.

Climaxes

IMO two climaxes is good, but usually I want the second climax to outdo the first one. But I also feel that one climax is good as long as it builds up to something that makes you drop down from a heart attack. That buildup that just makes you absolutely go crazy.
