Kit Phillips - Elastone | 96k Full Track | Breakbeat
I came across this old track I made last year some time, its kind of cool so I thought I'd post it. I might even do a remake of it at some stage too.
Comments are very welcome hope you enjoy it http://www.soundclick.com/bands/def...m?bandID=423205
Its the one called Elastone.
PS
If you'd like me to review your tracks then just put the links to your tracks in your post and I'll take a look
beginning is nice, i like that belly sound, but the guitar could be a bit brighter, imo
the breaks could be a bit more outstanding, you can hardy recognise them...same about the strings (or whatever this sound is ?!)...
all in all this is quite a nice chilly tune, but you have to work on the mixing/eqalizing, imo...your mix sounds a bit buddy...
but as you said you might going to rework it anyway...

Thanks for the reply Klangzentrum, glad you liked it! I'll probably remake the drums almost completely, they sound a bit amateurish (because I was amateurish at the time) and I think I can do much better now. I think the "strings" and bass were all part of the same patch, Its done with envelopes from memory
Nice guitar. The chords work. When the beat comes in the fill needs to sound a bit more detatched from the usual beat if you know what I mean. I think the beat needs to be crisper and have more of a defined top end. Otherwise good stuffs.
Quite a nice chill out tune. Feels far more chill out than breakbeat to me. Perhaps thats because the drums are so distant rather than full on.
The guitar could do with a touch more presence. I really liked the melody though.
If and when you come to remake it, I'd love a listen as an improved version could well be something I'd like to listen to a lot

Hey, thanks to both of you for the replies, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll do a rework once I get a few other tracks finished, and the beats will be the first thing I look at. Its good to know that it's worth remaking, so thanks for your opinions.
Mr Kre8: I agree, the fill loops are almost the same as the rest! Thats one of the things I'll fix up since I have some grasp of beat programming now.
G-Con: It probably is more chillout, I've never had a good grasp of genres, glad to hear you liked it, I'll definaely post a revised version for your opinion
