Hey guys,
It’s been a while since I posted anything here, but was just curious if you wanted to check out something new that I have been working on.
It’s been a while since I finished anything or released anything as I have become a father recently so as you can imagine time is a valuable commodity.
The track is driving tech trance inspired and has a few twists. Although it’s not finished and has a fair amount of work both in terms of mix down and tidying up to be done you get the general idea of what it will sound like.
As you can see I have also ditched the old Nem identity due to bust up with old label and made a fresh start.
It's the first track on the player.

Alright mate
Nice kick. Really driving with the bass.
I like the percs but they sound a bit dull. Could well be the myspace player though.
Personally not keen on the stabby type synth which plays on its own at the very end of the sample. Just not my taste really.
Overall though the track has pleny of drive and energy that a track like this needs, it really pumps along. I'm sure once you've done a full mixdown and I'm not hearin it through myspace, it will be a solid tech-trance track...
Cheers

The jury is still out on that one, haven't decided if I will run with that sound. It just served as a starting point for me. It's grown on me but is still a little harsh for me.
Thanks for listening though.

kick really does stand out nice..like the bassdrop ;)
sidechain is done well
mmm....don't like the clap at all @ 1:37
bassline melody pretty cool...
track is a tad generic but well done |

I like the slightly roughed-up distorted shuffle sound, it works for tech - i say keep it, or just EQ it only slightly :)
OK I like the sidechaining on the synth, but not sidechaining on the bassline ... the bass sounds a bit stunted, like each kick sound is pressing it too hard up against the next kick. Either your kick tail is a little too long or your sidechain compressor threshold is a little too low. Ignore this heartily though if you're going for a more wacky stunted feel, because there's room for experimentation in tech trance - i dunno, for me it takes away the drive. Apart from that its a solid tech-er, generic yes but nicely put together!
(EDIT) oh yeah and as Mr Rogers said, that clap around the 1.5minute mark needs cutting or some modification hehe ;) |

The bassline is something that is deliberate as I felt so tired of the typical style trance bassline. I might play around with the tail/threshold settings etc a little to see if it creates more drive, but at this time I was after a groove rather than a drive if that makes sense. Just something a little more random.
The clap thing is so dry and horrible its unreal, this I know. Still haven’t decided what I’m doing there but it’s all good.
Thanks for listening though, your opinions are always valid and greatly appreciated.
Cheers

| Solid. I like the progression-smooth energy. my only wish would be for more complexity and a bit of subtle variation in the very beginning, as it is a bit simplistic for 2008. just my opinion. |

hey man,
I checked out your track again, I really liked it, great stuff as always.
I like the kick and fx you've got going on from the start, as well as the programming of the hihats, I never seem to get hihats to sound so driving. I can see this track working wonders in netherland :). the clap sound so unbelievably fake, I think it's cool, it sounds nice when you have that rythmic hi filtered synth layered over it. Anyway this sounds very promising! I'm looking forward to the result.
(I love obliterize btw, this is the kind of music I always try to make but never get to it.)
NB
Push by Paul Harrison, that high filtered fx'y thingy right from the start.. it sounds a lót like the sound the "sprayer" makes from the teletubbies :p. |

LOL! Damn, my source of inspiration has been discovered! :D
Glad you liked it though.
Obliterize isn't really a finished track, just a doodle. Didn't think anyone would notice he he.
Thanks for listening.
