dont think its one of your best rich. i like everything going on but it feels a bit bland. i love a real kick driving through a track and this track lacks that. although i think it has some real good effects and synths going on.

7/10

just think you could add a bit more to it mate.

cheers

kane

cheers mate.

my damn kick!

they let my tracks down no end..

i might turn it up in the mix and add a bit of grunt..

thanks bud!

rich

Hey Rich mate,

For godsake pleaseeee no that title an 80's nightmare, mars attacks, you give your tracks cheepsounding B-movie titles. Now is that what you want?

About the track itself, I think melodywise it is quite original. Almost all the synths are unique and I dig that about you. Really your ideas are excellent. Bass in this track is also pretty wicked.

But as we have told you before you, the percussions and kick lack. When will you finally start using the hihat tsss tsss tsss tsss (4 per bar now that ain't to hard ? haha). Only that simple open hihat will give the track a lot more energy

Overall this track is pretty decent because I like what you do with the melodies and the atmosphere is kick ass. You just need to work on a more flowing percussional section and please find yourself a better kick. Last but not least, the mastering needs attention.

and please oooh please dear goodness gracious that title is not OK LOL

really like the percs that come in at 0:44, those reverse highpitched delayed kicks are cool too! I think its that I tried that and it sounded just like that once ..
nice pads and the melody is nice too ! original melody!
hehe reverse kicks are cool !! the gated pad really gives something extra nice job.. you did the intro well and the like the snare that "pushes" along with the beat.. every bad 2 snare "push" .. sounds very good!

Hey....

Pretty oldschool stuff... but I´m liking it. Some of the pad sounds are pretty thin but I don´t know if you meant it that way. A good title for the track.... pretty spacey stuff. The break is really long in the middle. You could introduce many more sounds during that part ( sound effects etc. ). Also you should concentrate more on your drum fills, by varying them you can make the track much more interesting.
The track is also pretty long and gets a little monotonous.

Cheers, Lakeus

thanks lakeus.

im glad you liked it.

i always get responses saying to fill my tracks out with more sound effects etc and i always try but they always sound wrong to me. i love minimal at the mo..

varying the drum pattern sounds like a good plan. i take it into consideration in my newest piece.

thanks for the critique mate

rich

nice percs maybe the bellish sound that goes with the kick is abit loud..

like the synths + melodies, the reversed kicks are nice too. buble stuff lol .

i like it but it gets abit boring after a while... maybe add more melodies or change something.

keep it up

this is quite interesting. the whole song hasnt got ur traditional syncopated hi hats....hard to classify this as a trance track.


ur synths r very original, love that 'squiggly' one through out the track.

the track definitely needs more mastering like others have said. specialyl the drums and kick. but apart from quality, the beat is pretty original and catchy.

jason; cheers mate. glad you enjoyed the melodys and synths.

i kinda think the bels suit the weired track style. ive tried other sounds but then the melody seems out of place.

thanks for the comments..

noreliq; i dont really know what style to label it as. glad you like the synths and the 'sqiggly' one- cant even remember what parameters i played with to get that.. i understand what you mean about mastering. might get it done elsewhere if i have a few quid lying around.. apprieciated mate!

mr palm: great you enjoyed most of it as i said before i quite like the cowbells.. kick is gonna be sorted out soon because i have some nice kick samples from a friend now.. im pleased you like the atmosphere. laying and atmospher down is always first to me. drive and percussion lack... thanks again. oh and 'p.s' im still lovin nortek - fall.. maybe carry on with that one and add some more to it?

rich

LIstening now RIch

Intro is cool, I understand you are going for an 80's sound, but I don't fancy that cowbell much...the bass is nice however, and already i can feel the atmosphere you are creating, the reverse kick adds to this. Those strings are nice, perhaps could do with being a bit more powerful, percussion is quite good, just think you need an offbeat hi hat . That synth plays a great melody by the way...reminds me of some old games on the NIntendo and Mega Drive...overall very atmospheric song indeed- just work on the percs more!
