Hey all!
Right, here goes the first Radio Edit mixdown. Full track still in production. It's a colab between Charlie Darwin and Dj Martin P. Stayed up all night and exchanged samples and idea's over messenger and this is the result.
First update will be thursday, hopefully a full 8 minute edit too for vinyl cuts. Well get some radio time for this one, probably not a release.
We where hoping for some feedback from anyone interested in chipping in. It's always good to get some fresh ears on the case.
Greets,
CD + MP
P.S. Turn up the volume!

its a very nice production, i like the percs and proggy touch at the beginning (chicane style abit), but when the melody comes in at 1:36 i can't feel something :(
beautiful piano after it
the quality is great, but i don't really like the melodies you guys playing (the notes and instruments you choosed) --> only my oppinion of course
only the piano melo i like :)
keep it up guys, and finish it ;) |

I concur pretty much with lagrom, the progressive feeling is nice, the strings melodie gives it a housey touch, the muted sound before the piano is too dry, the piano is nice but it sounds too flat, not dinamycs at all, sounds way plane man and muddy.
I got also the feeling that something is missing, when all begin to play there's a lakc of midle end sounds, like pads, and kinda feels weak.
In overall, is a nice production, should be longer, better introduction of each section plus the things I said about the dinamycs and etc, but a nice production no doubt, looking forward for the final version ;).
Kopi =o. |

| Not bad. I like the groove you've set up. Like Kopi said, it should be longer. |

| I like when the piano starts... then when the synth comes in.... This is a really cool production.... I dont know if i ever make a track equal to this quality....:( |

The intro sounds very proggy indead. I like that!
The bass and kick by themselves doesn't seem that great to me. I might skip that.
The organ sound and strings gave new life the the groove. Congrats on the idea there. I like it too!
The synth-melody... I just didn't feel it either. Seems like a MIDI-sheet calculation instead of something you inspired.
The piano was beautiful... It has good sustain -- but it is too dry. The synthy-melody is still not seeming to fit something.
The track is sounding well put together. On the arrangement side... it's not developing enough. The track needs a something more organized in it's buildup. |

Really enjoyed this, loved the chicaney stuff at the beginning, awesome. Progresse's nicely and all the elements are nice, however I don't like the piano at the break. Sounds a little cheesey to me, but I often think that of any production with a Piano break. Would love to remix the finished article though. (Will PM about that :) )
Anyways, Quality track mate nice idea, nice fx and nice production. |

@ Verdi: - Thanks for positive review. But the track has changed a lot since then. I mixed the piano break in with an extra melody to give the piano less indentity. Might help.
@ Four_On_Four-er: - I avoided using just the bassline with the BD just together. Sounds a little too techy for the intention of the track at hindsight.
- Didn't know it was an organ. But now you say so I think i agree.
- Main synth I was so proud of but not anymore has been completely replaced.
- Piano is totaly courtesy of Dj Martin P who did a live take on that one.
- Little more work has been done on progression of the track
@ avengie: - About a year ago I recall posting something very similar to your post, saying I would never reach the quality of someones track. Since then I have been practising, reading and made a serious study of it. My advice is not to be lazy on your productions, try the more complicated stuff out and keep at it till you get it right. Anyway I am realy flattered to hear you liked the track.
@ thoughtlessjex: It's longer now
@ kopi_luwak: - It's very hard for me to make radio edits. In 4 minutes of space I have to put all the little tricks and sounds I want and it's not enough. I prefer a long buildup and well, a progression. I'd need some more experience to be able to make radio edits that maintain the identity of the track.
Thanks all!!!
Kind regards,
Charlie Darwin |

Cool track!
You have became so much better since the Bittrance time ;)
This is really good! Good produced, Great ideas. This could be big!
The strings is really good, but they need some more power or gain i think.
Piano is wonderful, I like the gated effect you've made on it. Use it more!!! :tongue2
You have to make it longer too..
Seing forward to the update!

Cool beggining, very good mixing so far, I like all the small details that make up the atmosphere. The bass sounds perfect. The pads are something that I would have raised volumewise. The arps coming in are sounding airy but again would have liked a higher volume on those. Balance of separate elements in a mix is something that I feel needs to be worked on additionaly.
Beside this, the drive in a mix is very good. It would be good to make it longer since I was just getting into it when it all of a sudden stopped.
Keep it up
