Here is a new trip-hop tune entitled "chronic"
http://s42.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=...DZ236VTVWOW287D
I have learned so much from everyone about mixing and sound design, and I really think it shows. I really believe there is a new level of sound quality evident in this track. Please listen and give me your honest opinions. |

| isn't what i expected from a trip-hop description but it sounds pretty solid in terms of production, nice feel and atmosphere to it. sounds like something out of a blade movie, that kinda darky feel to it. i'd definatly play this on my mp3 player or in my car driving/coming home one night wanting to just mellow out :) |

i like this.
it got a good balanced sound. id like to hear a nice big kick in there instead of the 'real' sounding weak kick..
oh the break really works well! bin all of the drums and turn the track into a ambient track. the drums kinda let the whole thing down. the loudest synth around 1;30 is nice but i think if it was lowered in level and then really reverbed it would fit the rest sooo well!
this track sounds like the sort of thing that should be kept safe as a project file and worked on in a years time when your ideas change a bit..
all i will say is that your melodies and synth selection create an original and dark spacy atmosphere.. your drums make the track a bit too diverse for the trance lover imo. please can i have a 320+ render of this with the drums muted? for my chillout times:)
nice and fresh sound like what i have heared previously from you.
keep it up!

thats an odd request O.o moving on!
its still at 30% of dl... ill go and have some nachos, mmh nachos... well 1 min and 59 secs l8er im back and find download finished.
intro is really good, your percs in the start is good but the hat might be a bit high?
melodys are good, the whole track flow's really well with them.
a massive kick would be really nice on this :], now i think the mainmelodie is fading in, it sounds good this far :), are you really using a kick or are you using a snare? :D
the stuttering hissing is cool! right about now the track feels a bit repetetive, 3:00...
but theres the high plucked again :)!
the track is good but i would like it with a heavier kick.. |

Hye,
Listening, nice bass, it has a nice vibe, maybe it has too much delay on it though, ahh nice intro for sure, however the snare it's sounds a bit muddy for my taste, and the kick should be stronger though. This is really nice, reminds of some 80's new age, tangerine dream style.
In overall, this sounds promising, the only thing I would tune up are the snare and the kick, boosting a bit about the 60 range for the kick and the snare around 16 000 and 11 000 range, some deep drums as FX at times would be a nice touch also, other than u have improved alot since ur last tune man, keep it up ;).

yo mate,
im currently listening to your tune.
i see you worked with very much with classic saw sounds. i like the acidsequence thats moving trough the background.
overall the synthwork sounds very 303 inspired, i like that.
the drums do sound a bit to natural to me, i prefer the edgy snthetic ones.
i think it could be more going on in your tune, the lead synth for example sounds very static and basic to me, i would let it move with lfo and add some more delay.
buildup also sounds very basic to me. theres nothing going on during the transition parts, theres no filter in / filter out stuff.. .
dont get me wrong, i think that you've got a good sense for music and there are some good appendages in your tune but it sounds kinda unfinished to me.
bye, nik. |

intro is dark and dirty
it's clear that you've taken all constructive criticism on board as this is clearly an improvement on your previous work. your beginning to get your mixing levels correct now. you've layered this well.
it's been said already so im not going to elaborate on it but the maybe a different kick.
percs are nice, like the way you've used them in the track
not really my style although you could probably do a mix with a 4/4 beat for us standard folk.
overall your improving as time goes on mate
keep it up!

Nice bass.
Great layering!!
0.18 sweet ...great percs
0.25 the mids could be turned up a bit imo.
The percussion dominates the left side. The cymbols, toms & the kick are all to one side. I think you need to centralise some of the percussion or at least spread some to the Right side & pan it out a bit.
The kick should be centred imo. It is also lacking bass. I recommend reconsidering your selection of bass drum / kick.
2.00 I really like this new layer. Sweet phasing filter on it.
Nice work here Majutsu. I really enjoyed the rhythms and your layering. The mastering needs a bit of work. |

The hats are too loud and kinda grating. EQ out some of the more grating frequencies to make it a bit kinder on the ears.
Your entire set seems to be stuck in the right-hand channel. What's up with that?
Your kick is all click. There's no meat to it. I realize this to make room for the bass, but with Hip Hop I, personally expect more low end on my kick.
On the note of it being Hip-Hop, though, I'd have to classify this more as prog breaks, mostly because Hip-hop very often implies rapping. |

Coupled with some good vocals this would be very original. It's still driving but a bit repetitive.
Like the rest, I think drums need some additional work. (everybody on this forum wants a meaty kick) but it doesn't have to be. I wish the low end in general was better processed (read punchy).
Good work
