Okay then, what have we here...

I really like the feel of this tune... dark... sinister... almost psytrance-ish...

Just the kind of stuff I really like. Nice melodies and pads - sounds really pro...

BUT:
The bass drum. Where oh where is the bass drum?!
All I get is a soft "plop" where the bass drum should be...

Overall - great tune, though it REALLY needs a better bass drum...

Dammit! I know, im such a moron...

I actually had to complete this tune in 2-3 days to meet a deadline for a demo I gave out to a few dj friends of mine at a party. And thats extremely short an amount of time for me! I dont wanna seem like someone who rushes through tunes, on the contrary I wouldn't have included it if I didn't think it was good enough...

Ok, I WILL go over it again, and put in new kicks... It might take a while before the newer version will be back up on mp3.com, but since I'll be making changes, lets hear all the advice I can get!

Anything else people think should be changed at all?

Oh, btw, thank you so very much for the review Mr. Mystery, it's definetly what I needed!

Yes Mr. Mystery is a wise man... very mysterious, but wise...

And yes, I'm a moron, I'm a moron, I'm a moron, and I'm a lazy moron! But the kick will be fixed, along with a few other details I wouldn't mind fixing...

Are there any OTHER things that need fixing? (aside from the kick, cause everytime I read a message about it, I kick myself, and my ass is goin blue! )

-Boy

P.S. Thanx for the comments Dave C and Endre.. although I'm not sure which part you mean exactly sounds like 'Gatex' Endre, but that tune is pretty cool, so I guess I'll take it as a compliment.

P.S.

sounds cool.. i must agree with the kick... fix it.

^Thanx bud. Now just so it's clear, would you guys prefer that I CHANGE the kick itself to another, or just use the same, but bump up the volume, bass and you know, make it more powerful and shit?
Lemme know..

Fooooooor Suuuuuuuuuuure buddy!

Does everyone else feel the same? Cause I liked the kick that I had (aside from it's 'weakness' of course), so just wanted to make sure people didn't DISLIKE it.

ALSO, are there ANY other suggestions ASIDE from the kick???

I really enjoy this man, this is my favourite production of yours yet. I have to agree with everyone else when I say the kick sucks ass though =P This track will own with fully re-done percussions.

I love this track! So dark and mysterious, the way I like it. I'm not gonna comment on the kick, but I can say that the bassline needs more power, and so does the rst of the track, the overall volume is very low. Maybe I can do a remix of it?

Hehe, of COURSE you can do a remix of it! When I catch you online, I'll send you the .zip! And yeah you're very right about the bassline, too soft as well.. Even though I mastered it at just below 0db, it still was quiter than the rest of my tunes , but I AM fixing that as well, and I might add something to the bassline too, like along the same lines as 'Shattered'... thanx for the suggestion Haak, and thanx even MORE for not repeating the kick suggestion!
