Rank 1 - Airwave(Michael McLardy Remix)
hi all,

this is a e side better than my last tune and anything else ive ever done

http://www.dj-craig.co.uk/airwave.mp3


really enjoyed making this, took bout 3 nights wanted to do something a bit diff with it , went for a more darker techier sound and i think it works well,

its 192k quality

any feedback on this at all greatly appreciated,

btw. before ne one sez i know i need to make the crash more noticable and add louder sub bass! ne thing else?

thanks a lot

Hey mate


First impressions


Percussive work is nice, maybe needs another hat or something in there

Kick doesn't do it for me, if you're low on samples, lemme know & I can send you a zip file with a few more in:)

like the breakdown, but think you maybe need to filter the first acidy stuff, so that it rises a bit louder during that last bit

Lead again, starts kinda low, and would sound good filtering up a bit from maybe 70% to 100% of the volume, sounds a tiny bit dull carrying on like that :)

I'd say that's the main problems tbh mate, the track is well structured, just needs maybe a bit more on top, very similar to how I do things, and when mastered it comes out quite deep & muddy if you get me. A Secondary lead would pretty much help that, plus a diff kick :)

hope thats useful anyway mick


Edit - you can have a secondary lead & still keep the darker/techy feel too :p

did u use the original fruityloops percussion for this?

the kick sounds familiar.

interesting synth work, but im a more harder fan, this doesnt cut it.

it sounds like u raped the snare silly, too many rolls in there.

mmmmm! nice work! But kicks soundls very loud! I couldn't hear the bass line! And it sounds very computerely at all!!!

A mastering job needed, a lot of peaking here. could use a few effects again arite percussion and layout. Ure getting better, gis a shout sumtime for that collab mate.

Sound levels are all WAY off... not a fan of the new sound that the track has been taken in, almost sounds like a MIKE rendition... but something is lacking. Diretion seems somewhat lost. Sounds aren't that interesting either. Good effort though!
Subtle
plus
like the darker approach
I give u points for originality

minus
intro a little too messed up
not sure about the breakdown
basic percussions
the intro to the strings is way to messy
hmn.. the synth
u need more bass or a bass

conclusion
it is nice that u try to make something different, the kick is way too loud, and the bass is gone.. but I think its a nice effort and nice idea..

in FL....

Put your sample in on whatever path, then goto the thing where u can add FX etc and assign a new channel. Assign to this a buzz effect adaptor, and then select jeskola filter i think it is, u got 3 levels then, take the middle one (at the far right) right click and assign events then draw in, the higher the green bars, the louder it'll be, i have 1 hr left on a mix but i'll ul a pic of it after to show a bit better :)
