Originally posted by Richard Butler Firstly your mix is nice n clear so well done as that's a very important area. The bass is very basic, and would'nt hold it's own at all against professional stuff. I could go on for a hundred pages on this, but really you need to propely listen to professional tracks and unpick whats going on to give you some tips. This is probably the hardest thing to learn - listening properly to what professionals do. The orchestral pics are very dry and uninteresting. The drums and percs are like I was making nwhen I started out, so I think I know where you're at. Essentially you ned to go thru a big learning curve - drums need way more imagination and treatment - the sounds your'e using are like basic presets from 1988. Ittook me years to realise this, and I'm still not there. So good effort, but a long long way to go yet. My number one tip would be this; Learn to make the perfect drums vefore doing anything else, then learn how to do bass. IF SOMEONE TOLD ME THIS YEARS AGO IT WOULD HAVE SAVED ME TONS OF TIME. The worst thing you can do is try and make entire tracks, until you really pin down the basics. Hope that's ok mate.

Yeah, happy to admit the drums might be a bit shoddy, even that the bass might be. I personally like the orchestral stuff though, so I guess thats just taste.

Glad you like the mix though, I was worried it might be a bit muddy.

Originally posted by Owsey2008 Your drums sound a lot better now, but I think the snare drum still doesn't fit right. When the bass first comes in I think it sounds a bit too simple, but the further the track progresses the better it seems to become. You could maybe throw more FX in to make the track a bit more interesting. I like it, though. Nice work.

Glad you like mate I might tweak that bass at the beginning a bit more, it does sound a bit basic.
