Hey Wim,
Nice to see your name about here again, haven't heard anything from you for a long time!
Just listening to the track, i have some feedback for you!
I think that the eqing is lacking a little in depth and sparkle, it does sound balanced, but at the same time, is lacking that sharpness that gives alot of pro tracks quality. I would definatly add a little more top end eq to the open hat.
I also think the track would benifit from more unique sound effects. I hear there are some there already, but i feel that there isn't enough to create a real atmosphere.
Breakdown is very nice, the lead durring the build could do with a little more reverb and maybe more delay. I don't think it sounds as wide as it could do, and again, a little more top end would help this out aswell.
Sorry if this sounded a little harsh, i hope that you find it benificial! The track is really, very good, and i shall support it in my sets.
Cheers for sharing your work!

Hey George!
Any comment is welcome of course. I always like to focus more on melodic parts rather than filling things up with effects... Got a bit of a nostalgic feeling responsible for that :)
I did cut down the high freqs a bit more in my more recent tracks, because it felt really harsh when listening to some older tunes with my new headphones... Dunno if it's related to that, though normally I wouldn't say no to some good sharpness in the track. Will definately keep looking further on that matter.
Cheers for the comment on my remix mate ;)
Bye,

Sounds incredible man. In all honesty I'm sick of people saying it sounds like its from a certain date (1999 in particular). I really dont give a what it sounds like, as long as it sounds good. And this, my friend, sounds good.
Lots of great sounds. I like the subtle stuff, like that little gurgle thing at 2:28ish. Nice melody, very fat sounds in the breakdown.
Great work man, I always love your stuff. |

Hoi Wim!
Another quality track i presume, so let's have a listen ;)
Those vocoded "Aah"s always grab me, great! Nice kick and bass, EQ-ing is so facking tight. I'd wish I had your mixing skills. Tho, like mentioned before, a little additional fatness could help. On the other hand, it's deep flat and tight and it carries along nicely. Nice drive. Break now. Good. As George said, some more fxs could make this even better. Personally I'm not too fond of the lead, it has this lower sound which I don't really like.
Great typical Icone track again, thumbs up! I read on your site you have some new releases coming. Congrats m8, surely deserved. :D
Cheers

I'm the darkone...
he's darkone55...
how can you get confused between us???:eek: :sadgreen:
Anyway awsome lead.
The pluckes are overused.
I think you should use more fxes.
Now the lead is on the right level!
I think the bass is a bit low when the lead comes so in another thought lower it just a bit bit bit!
More precs are really needed here
Ok wim it's time to replace sounds.
You can get pepole very bored from you if you use the same sounds (like ron van den buuken for example).
Try new things. Program new sounds. Try writing leads in another way. Not just arp leads. Always try to get something new, always try to improve yourself.
Wim this is again getting 4/5 becouse of the lack of originality.
Have a nice day,
Omer Katz (aka The REAL Darkone) |

| Everything sounds great to me - except the kick - which just sounds daft to me. |

Omer: sorry to have you confused hehe, no offence... Didn't do that on purpose if that's what you were thinking.
I do like to work with these sounds, so it's hard to really abandon them. It's not that they're bad though, are they? Because you say I can only improve to use other sounds... Again, those plucks weren't my main focus, they were just put there to make it fuller. Again, my main focus isn't on overloading with fx'es. Again, I'm not trying to be original, only myself ;)
RickyM: thanks mate! I know about the kick, will maybe do an edit afterwards if I find the time.
dbl: couldn't say exaclt,y I've only heard a couple (read: 2) of tunes from him... :) |
