I've been putting this track together today; kinda liking it, but it may be a little over complex, cant really tell.
sorry link removed
(/tracks/optiksample.mp3 108 3.71 MB 101 100 )
thats a lota downloads!
it's right out of cubase and I haven't done any tweaking really yet (like missing bassdrum beats or real eqing/mixing) so bear that in mind.
cheers in advance |

Is it just me or does the bass disapear on the lowest note?
and kick drum seems too loud, can't hear bass at all when it drops on my speaks! |

cheers for listening - it's a poor mix at the moment (I need to fix the bassline a lot) - it's got a little distortion thrown in for free as well(that bassdrum does peak too much)
it's the general level of complexity - I've been trying to produce simpler stuff, but this one has come out very complex and layered - just really wondering if it's too much and I should strip it down a bit? |

| there's a new version up (same link) with a much better mixed kick (lower in the mix) cause it was way too loud. you should be able to hear the bassline now ;) |

| Sounds quite thin at the start, but once it gets going it sounds pretty cool, good work. Could do with a more thumping kick maybe. |

cheers ricky,
you're hearing from the start of the break onwards; I'll have to do some transition work from the intro to the break and I'll try and fatten it slightly. |

Now I think kick is slightly too low =P
I love that bassline slide tho =D. |

| that kick needs more punch... too much lows. drowned the track a lil... the gate is right on the spot man, driven me into the state of trance already. but the breakdown is kinda lacking... no energy in it... load a harder boom fx with another atmospheric sweep there after the break... 1 octave higher than your main lead on supersaw... now, that's euphoria. |

cheers leng =)
I think it's working on you kinda how I want it - not too euphoric, more a kinda mike foyle-esq build of elements till the drop
I'll definatly be improving the kick though- even though it's my least favourite task as I find it hard! |

| Boost it 1-2dB should be fine. Can I ask what you made the bass with btw? |
