| It's a very good impression overall. I like the bass, nice sound. The filter thing that follows is quite exciting, my favorite. The break at 1:30 is well done. I think it lags a bit at 2:30 and I might cut that out a little. The arp at 3:30 is a tad helter-skelter, but that kind of thing appeals to me. To me, that sound right there throws this somewhere in the hard-psy zone. You lose me again at 4:30. I guess I don't like when you drop to bass/drum with these two patterns, because that's the second time. The end is well done. Good job. |

fixed some filter issues, fixed with percs (some where to weak) and reworked melody and bassline, gave the start a bit extra drive to (a hoover sound but thats when the kick comes in) i also faded in all those fx's better.. |

Hey, commenting as I listen...
nice introduction, cool FX.
The sidechained distorted bass is interesting. Maybe you could decrease the attack time just a little more to give this more offbeat character? Otherwise, it sounds kinda cool.
Nice break @1:26 ... hah, the breakbeats took me by surprise. Some cool filter sweeps.
I'd like your percussion to get fatter. Get some better samples, or just layer some of them. You can make a lot of pressure with a tight percussion you know? :)
again a break @2:50 .. feeling kinda confused. But the sounds are great, very dark.
What a great melody! This sounds so strange, like its out of this world, like a completely bastardized alien version of a trance anthem.
4:00 is also very nice. Didnt expect this.
Somehow this is cool stuff. Still needs something but this melody (which is a little bit too loud IMO, but thats a small detail) really got my attention.
I think your track sounds all in all still a little fragmented. Maybe you could think about some interesting transitions.
Keep it up! |

thanks for your review cybernetica :).
too bad i used the demo v until today, had to shut it down to work so yea.. this song is gone :) but its still good as it is.. i hope :).
thanks for the comments about the melody :D.
i have a similar bassline (with the same preset with my own tweaking (not much)) but its more intense and im thinking about making a tune out of that to :) i really liked making this.
i got the inspiration for this while listening to hardhouse/nrg so well.. thats the influences.
the 4:00 part is the part i like the most but its a bit high indeed :(.
thanks for your review :) |

I think you really got a good sound going with the sidechain (ducking) on the bass. Big fan of that myself, try to use it as much as possible. Just love the throbbing effecting tunes that have that give.
The melody throws me for six. I'm probably too rigid but it's a little too experimental for me.
Obviously you are aware of the level so wont go into that.
At one point in the track it also sounded like your kick was being squashed by another sound.
Verdict.
Love the core of this track just can't get to grips with the melody.
Cheers

I think the bass should be a tad more deep and grimy, but I can't complain much further than that.
The bass is somewhat melodic. It bounces around with some experimental drive.
The transitions don't seem too well thought out, except I love the psy-ish intro pads. Those pads are simply awsome.
The saw item is a hot number. It's the totally redeeming thing of this track. It's experimental and I love it... like Cybernetica said, it's got some bastardized feel to it that's refreshing. I appreciate it following the saw.
Overall, however, this production could be upped a few notches if:
1. You focused on phatter bass overall...
2. Added more rythmic elements and motifs...
3. Proposed more dynamic transitions between the three parts of the song. |
