I think probably that the additional chords coming in at 6:01 should maybe come in (earlier)

I think if you bring up those sounds you start at 6:00 on, though, and bring them in earlier, though, you'd have a pretty nice song

hey..thats what I said! glad I can at least appreciate this genre the same as every other TA here and come up with the same consensus.

please review my latest AMBIENT track HERE.

Great tune. The mastering and a few samples could be better (put it through bbe sonic maximizer), but the melody is very nice. Any chance of a midi/score?

He he,

Funny you should mention mastering... I haven't done any... pretty clueless when it comes to that.
Not sure which samples you are refering to as the only sample (as in literally) is the 4/4 bass kick. The rest is all generated.

Thanks for listening though and I will definately give it a shot at mastering the darn thing, will do a bit of reading up on at and also perhaps invest in a mastering program.

I will also try and get the midi file posted for you.

By the way, does BBE sonic maximizer work with Fruity Loops?

Cheers

Like it. The first two minutes wasn't into it but then it started to take form and damn i liked the result. The main lead is good stuff that's for sure even though it repeats a little bit. Too bad is 96kbps or else i would be playing this one loud

I might be tempted to make a Hi Fi version availabe.

Cheers

Yeah, what i usually do is put a compressor (if needed) and sonic maximiser (set at about 6 6 5) on the master mixer track. It will make a huge difference, and if u eq right u might not have to master it afterwards.

Well, I pretty much agree with what was said but really want to encourage you about the bits at six minutes and beyond. They really add that certain something to the tune, be nice to maybe hear them in a breakdown earlier on by themselves and then bring something else in with them? Just a thought. Kind of eerie that single note, really works well.

EDIT: really like the clap as well and the rhythm is particularly good.

Thanks guys,

It's always good to read other peoples comments and ideas. I have learned so much from many of the people here in this thread and others.

so thanks again
Nem
