NAIL ON THE HEAD BUISSNESS WITH THE BEATS MASTERING ON THEM SOUNDS CRISP! THE INTRO BECOMES A LITTLE BORING AND SAMEY. MAYBE ADD SOME SAMPLES WITH FX ON TOP OF THE ONES ALREADY USED, ALSO THE KEY'S OF THE MAIN AMBIENCE COULD BE CHANGED AT TIMES TO SWICH IT UP A BIT. WHEN THE MAIN BASSLINE DROPS IT SOUNDS AS IF YOU HAVE USED A BIT TOO MUCH LFO AND THE SUB SEEMS TO OVERPOWER THE WHOLE TRACK. ALSO MAYBE CHANGE THE KEYS IN THE BASS MAKE UP ASWELL AS TO NOT GET TOO BORING. KEEP AT THE TRACK THO AS IT HAS VIBES!

Keep workin! 13-04-2007 05:31 GreatFisherCat Cool Producer Registration Date: 21-06-2005 Posts: 150 Helpfulness rating:  Umm... YES YES YES!! and NO! NO! NO! Your EQ'n in drums is a winner, they're so sharp that every snare slaps my face, without going overboard. When beats come first time, I go "YEEAAAAAA!" but in 30 seconds I go " ...doh" . How many dB you have dynamics left? You're very very loud, much louder than everyone else in this forum - which means that your mastering limiter is in tighter setting than every one else's. I say that is not a good thing, at least my ears get tired of listening this very quickly. This is very subjective matter, with no correct answer, but I would go to at least 6-9dB of dynamics (meaning that when I look at my mixed tune in audio editor, volume bar jumps between 0dB (max) and -9dB. Of course drop is even more silent.) I think my tune has 15dB, but I am a old geek, and do not want my tunes so full on anymore. Second nag, you have exactly _3_ elements in your song: drums, bass and pads. There is a golden rule in pop music, that goes like this: "At any given time, there must be only 3 instruments (elements) playing at same time." But it does not mean you get away from whole 4:30 long song using just 3 same elements all the time! Do three things: 1. introduce atleast 2 fresh new melodic ideas. use them sparsely, and not on top of each other, but to divide your tune to sections and to give some change. 2. Layer sounds. Use 2-3 instruments for each element. For example under the pad sound, play same melody again with another instrument, on end of the song do it again, but with another instrument, try how arpeggio line would sound. Keep them thin frequency -wise, just adding some icing on a cake. 3. Underline section changes with effects, like effected backward rides and strings going BooeeeAAAAAHHH! when you change a section etc. Give me some short weird sounds to spot! Overall, mixing is good if too loud to my tastes, but melody/structure wise needs work. -Mikko 13-04-2007 08:22 BattleDrone 2161... the future.

After a while i feel its screamin for a nice harsh lead of some sort, and maybe break it down a bit more before the end, but overall has a shitload of potential, your production/mixing skills are spot on. respect goony __ www.soundcloud.com/hyphae 15-04-2007 08:32 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Tunes » philbee - sometinatural
