Hey yall,
Well I've been working on this track for a good while now and wanted to share what I have so far. I focused on the energy and the melody in this one, so expect a steady, driving beat layed over an emotional riff - that's what I tend to go for in my tracks anyway But I think this one's got something new in it, and I wanna see what you guys think. So please take a listen to the sample, and let me know your opinions.
I like the intro. Im an intro dude but I never make them because I feel like a dj wont mix it. Great intro man! Sounds great. The melody is pleasent and catchy. Work it out some more and let us hear the rest.
Good luck

well.....that main synth to me is too....well too bright sounding...
like maybe but a unison or such on it....
kinda spread the sound out and slight detune...
Finally, been a while since i heard a catchy melody like this.
Melody could be used for some great prog i think .
I do agree on the synth, seems to lack low.

Wow, the melody in this is fantastic. I agree about the brightness of the synths. Also, I think you got a tad reverb happy, its pretty muddy even for an mp3. Maybe pull back on that a bit and do what you can to bring that melody up to the front of the mix where it belongs. Great work.

sounds pretty cool to me, only got shite speakers so i cant comment too accurately on the production, i like the melody a lot tho, would love to have it in full when you are finished mate. your stuff is really good now
Lombardo: Thanks for the good words! One thing though, this is a sample so it's supposed to start from the breakdown of the full track. The full version will not start like that though, it will probably start out with a kick and some other small stuff.
Dave: Thanks!
Antonio: Glad you like the melody. I won't be posting a 192 ver of this ... not immediately at least, first I want to see if it can catch any luck with labels.
Poochi: Agreed, I'll be tweaking the synth to be less harsh in the higher freqs.
Massive: Nice to hear your thoughts on the melody
State of Matter: hmm, I'll see what I can do about the reverb ... the muddy effect is probably caused the pad in the background, might have to eq it.
Luke: I'm real glad you like this as well, I'll let you know once the track is wrapped up to see if you would still like to play it.
Anyone else?
Stan.

listening.. melody comes rapidly.. cool melody.. but the synth is bright and sounds like V-Station, the bass is really cool.. do something with that screaming synth.. bass is mint..
nice production man!
though I must say the melody isn't 100 % my thing.
put that;s just s matter of taste. not much to comment on (besides lead eq). very nice bassline and overall drive!
Good luck with finishing this! curious to listen to the whole.

Going pretty fine so far I think, except it's too full of high freqs (kinda hurtful to my ears at times ).
Other than that, I'm anxious to hear the full one
