Cheers, would you believe that artificial sounding clap was made by yours truly by recording my own hands clapping! The whole reason I did a live recorded clap was because all the samples and synth made claps I tried sounded too artificial. I'm not entirely happy with it and your post has prompted me to explore the clap again. |
Interesting. Perhaps artificial wasn't the right word - it doesn't blend very well with the other sounds, I think. It's not bad, but perhaps there is something more suitable out there for the track as a whole.

Perhaps a fuller kick, something with more thud or boom. Either something more driving or more minimal, like a 606 kick, perhaps. Perhaps something you'd hear in dub techno or a progressive trance track. The kick you use is more housey, but the atmosphere is more progressive or techno-ish.

Glad you liked the general atmosphere, I always strive for atmosphere above all else. |
Atmosphere is great, I think perhaps percussion should make it more driving or minimal rather than funky, as the kick and clap seem to make it. |

Yeah I agree. Go big on the kick OR make it even more housey-like with a little nice warmish tail (there seems certainly to be room for it). Not too familiar with the kicks with this style though, as you said these kind of kicks are used nowadays?
As robo said you could try to push the drive and bring some elements further in front. Like the bit-crushed carry is nice REALLY cool but it just doesn't do the trick for me. It could do with little fatter sound, but it gets kinda gets lost.
The clap does kinda work, and good perc work as expected from you! Really dig the groove. Expecting to hear more of this. |

I did it really fast just for my dj sets, no thanks.
How about some pointers from your end, that would be helpful. |

Make it more interesting. Not just wooshes, uplifters and whatnot. The parts that don't serve a purpose or work towards something should be taken out imo. Which is pretty much everything between 1 min and 2:27. Give or take 15-30 seconds to get in the mood before dropping in the orchestrated part. |

My advice is: think, analyze, meditate
Think, analyze, meditate again. Don't be easily satisfied with yourself. Be a perfectionist.
edit: and of course practice. Take it as a journey. If it ain't funny you're doing something wrong. It should be a pleasant trip. |

Thanks a lot homies. Will focus more on what more important and try take the listener on the most depthful journey possible.
ok one last thing..
I'm ready to dive in Hanz Zimmer territory. too bad L4C is not here to help.
How and what do I need to replicate this acoustic/orchrestated part?
Reverse violin or cello? |

| No reverese anything. Sounds like staccato. And proper orchestra soundbanks/plugins, no clue which. |
