I haven't posted anything here for a while lol. So here we go, a liquid-ish track I finished yesterday. Every sound was made from scratch so don't expect anything too fancy, i'm not even that good at making sounds from scratch 29-09-2011 14:31 AuroraFlux AuroraFlux Registration Date: 13-09-2011 Posts: 64 Helpfulness rating:  wow im diggin that drum pattern could you pm it to me ? =DDDD and this is sweet as fuck but it could use some more chuncky sound an that second pattern PLEEEZ SEND ME THAT!!! ilove the track keep it up! 29-09-2011 19:54 Rythor1 D.R.U.

Not to big on the melody that comes in at 1:10, the sound is fine just not diggin the pattern. There is some low end noise goin on thruout that isn't really clear, maybe a sub that needs to be changed up. Really like the beat changeup at 5:10, the following build is a little chaotic though. Overall definitely a workable track, just needs some work. As far as the sounds being from scratch I think you did a good job, this one just needs to be cleaned up some but definitely has potential, peace...... 30-09-2011 05:31 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Some good elements, but I don't think that high pitched melody blends well with the rest of the track. Moreover, you just keep playing these 2 same during the whole track. That becomes boring really fast, especially since they aren't that amazing. Shortening the track 2 minutes would help, but work on that high pitched melody first. Also, this is quite over compressed. This had a very ugly sounding side effect just before the second drop, where the reverb gets compressed the shit out of it, and it doesn't sound good at all! __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 30-09-2011 07:59 jassummisko Producer Registration Date: 02-01-2011 Posts: 32 Helpfulness rating:  ok man ill send you da drum stuff! sorry for the delayed reply 02-10-2011 13:13 jassummisko Producer Registration Date: 02-01-2011 Posts: 32 Helpfulness rating:  wtf are you talking about! I didn't compress anything!!! and liquid is suppost to be repetetive! 02-10-2011 13:14 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by jassummisko wtf are you talking about! I didn't compress anything!!! Well, it sounded to me like there was a lot of compression going on. Don't know what the hell you did then. Maybe you used a loop for the drums, and the loop you used was already compressed? quote: Originally posted by jassummisko and liquid is suppost to be repetetive! Possibly, but it's not supposed to be so repetitive it gets boring If people here give you negative comments, that's not because they don't like you, that's because that's how they feel about your track, and they point it out to you to help you. You shouldn't defend your track, you should listen to the comments and see if they make any sense __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 03-10-2011 08:20 SKINLEY Cool Producer Registration Date: 15-05-2011 Posts: 149 Helpfulness rating:  Got a creepy intro, the reverb on your snare is killing everything, maybe too much reverb overall, sounds muffled I cant hear any track independantly at all. BUT your ideas are good. Need more variation, sounds like a lot of cutting and pasting going on, you need to keep it more interesting. What speakers are you making this on? 03-10-2011 21:12 jassummisko Producer Registration Date: 02-01-2011 Posts: 32 Helpfulness rating:  well, I like "bad comments" actually (OY YOU SUCK doesnt count), what I do is I tell criticisers where they are wrong, and where they are right! 03-10-2011 21:34 jassummisko Producer Registration Date: 02-01-2011 Posts: 32 Helpfulness rating:  Im using headphones lol, but I didn't put reverb on ANYTHING, except the reverb kick, which is suppost to have reverb lol, but none the less, thx fo da review, and also, what do you mean by "muffled". Also, yes, I did copy and paste a lot :/ 03-10-2011 21:38 Spectral Pace Cool Producer Registration Date: 19-09-2009 Posts: 219 Helpfulness rating:  Not feeling the intro. Like the punchiness of the beat. There sounds like there is way too much reverb on your stabby mid-bass sound and the reverb you have used isn't right for the track - I'd play around a bit with the reverb settings for that. Musically I can't figure out what key you're trying to carry the tune in. Your pads and stabby strings are not playing in key with each other and then your stabby bass sound doesn't sound like it's in the same key as either of the other two sounds. You have some cool sounds in this track, just needs some reverb tweaking and some pitch shifting of other elements to find the best key for the track. All the best. 08-10-2011 22:09 jassummisko Producer Registration Date: 02-01-2011 Posts: 32 Helpfulness rating:  OK but, that bass is a PLUCK, not a bass -_- Just sayin 09-10-2011 17:24 Spectral Pace Cool Producer Registration Date: 19-09-2009 Posts: 219 Helpfulness rating:  What instrument is a pluck? 09-10-2011 18:50 jassummisko Producer Registration Date: 02-01-2011 Posts: 32 Helpfulness rating:  hmmm, how could I explain, its like a lead with no sustain and high attack! 11-10-2011 17:18 Dub Bananez Dub Bananez Registration Date: 06-10-2010 Posts: 394 The two mellodies do not match at all. If you want to keep both try to play them at different times. LIke the drumz and some of the elements. This track still needs a little love brutha. Cheers.
