Workin on a new track, need ur opinion...

hey

im currently workin on a new track... experimenting with breakbeat, and i would like u to listen to this sample and tell me what u think.

the sample is still very "wet", and unfinished (especially the last part) theres a lot to add, and to change... BUT... I just want to know what u guyz think of the breakbeat part...

thanx a lot, I wud really appreciate your feedback.

hhmmm... sounds like a breeding of dark breaks, trance and IDM (without those noisy fx's, hehe)... trippy, calm, dark... good tune to chill-out About the end, I think you shouldn't add that 4/4 beat, because it kinda destroys the vibe (you've got to decide whether if you want people to dance to it or relax listening to it). You could make two different versions, for example. Just my opinion. I'm looking forward to hearing the final version

ps.: I don't want to sound annoying, but could you please change your avatar? It's way too explicit for a trance forum

You have a lot of good stuff here to work with. The bass lines sound really good, exept a little stagnant from the 2 min mark to about 3:30. It takes kind of long to get involved i think. The bass drum sounds a bit cheesy alone when it comes in at the 1 min mark. Try experimenting with some more complex drum patterns or maybe bring more then just the bass drum in at first. The intro might sound better if you try filtering a solid steady bassline in as well. I agree with Maaz on the 4/4 at the end. It just doesn't seem to work well in this track. Keep playing with it cuz it has a lot of potential
good luck

sounds pretty sweet, cant find much fault with it other than what's already been pointed out

would go really well as part of the soundtrack to a scary pc game

thanx bro!

the most constructive feeback so far...

I will work on the bassdrum, and ill try to redo the part from 2 mins to 3:30... it sounds kinda boring, yeah... you're right..."The intro might sound better if you try filtering a solid steady bassline in as well." what do u mean by that bro?

Cool track, love the bass. I think it could have worked without the trancy part in the end, those synths doesn't really fit with the rest of the track IMO, and it sounds to me like som notes are off in the bassline in at 7:40.

Keep it up

Umm originaly what i was thinking was that you use a low pass filter where you could gradually bring the bass in at the begining but after listening to the intro a bit more I think its pretty good how it is.

theres a problem now....

I started workin on the track a long time ago, and i made only the last part, i made the synths, the bassline and other stuff...

and all of my friends liked it, they liked it so much, that when I said ill never gonna finish it, (coz i couldnt, i tried diff things, and i just coulndt make the beginning) they almost killed me... well... ok ...a few nites ago I started makin this, and now i understand that those 2 parts r not going well.... wth shud I do? lol

Two different tracks

Posted by -AbsurD- on Jan-01-2003 23:52:

hehe... not that easy =(

Posted by xDaDXeRx on Jan-02-2003 03:44:

Here's an Idea. I dont know how to word this but I'll try. Finish the whole track percussion wise keeping it completely breaks. If its really hard to do this one part all at once, try looping a synth part till the end while you work on the percussion stuff as something to follow. once you have that try and work with the trancy synths over the breaks. I'd get rid of the 4/4 bassline stabs that you originaly added towards the end. maybe you need to lighten up the synths a bit get rid of some srtings you added. I cant really think of much more to say you just have to try everything till somethign works.
