Please check out my new track 'The Return of Atomic Age Vampires' and post your comments here!!!

Like I mentioned in another thread, it's been ages since I've finished a drum n bass tune. Now, during last two weeks, I've been in vacation, mostly avoiding the renovating and house painting tasks. So I've had time to work with grazy drum'n bass, hopefully (or unfortunately, you decide) there is more to come!

Contains sound samples an Italian film titled "Seddok, l'erede di Satana" (1960), directed by Anton Giulio Majano. This movie was later dubbed into English and retitled "Atom Age Vampire". These samples are from dubbed version. According to my best knowledge the movie has published under Creative Commons Public Domain licence - allowing me to sample these clips.

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/

I am also using one of the title tracks from this movie, composed by Armando Trovajoli.

You can watch the whole movie from http://www.archive.org/details/AtomAgeVampire .


Please tell me what you think, especially I am worried that bassline is too loud, and words cannot be understood.

And yes, I recognize this so Cheesy, Camp and Gay that I must remind you from fact that I am married with children :-) This is also why the tune is only 3:40 long, instead of very common 6 minutes.

Nice 1 man , likin the vibe Big Grin
Nice bassline , the beat exept the snare is wonderful , snare doesn't suit the track i guess , more traditional jazz snare would sound perfect...
Too much drops man Big Grin Too much vocal loops ... Can't say that they are bad , they are perfect for the theme ...
Good 1 in general if u'll make some varieties

Thanks Rodi,

I had a great trust in you, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone else would flame this tune into deepest gutter, I was sure you would not hate it Smile

Yea, gotta think about that jazz snare, now all live beats i've played come from cheap ass CM-505 analog modeling drum synth that came free with music mag, and snare ain't more than white noise with distortion on Smile

Also, gotta think about the structure of this song.... now it runs and stops. I did not see it as a issue because I do not think someone would like to dance to this, I just paid homage to a shitty horror movie that has 3.2/10 rating in www.imdb.com Smile

Droping the composition rather too many times is not a big problem as u thought i ment , im just telling people how i would make in that-this situation , imo , when u drop it so many times , it seems like pieces ...

Well, they do not send hardware synths for free with magazines, so no hardware gear used - except MIDI keyboard for bassline and midi drum pads for beats. But yes, my plugin and effects section has been costing some money long time ago, but that all is now forgotten Happy

But are you saying you do not even have a MIDI keyboard? Nutter Huh Big Grin

Patlabor: Thanks, I was _sure_ everyone would hate it Happy

Cute that somebody dares to do something outside the box for a change. The drums should have some more presence though, they kinda drown in the whole. Bass has to much bottom and to less top I think.

With some touching up this could be really good layed back stuff.

Jeah nice one
drums are nice, good vibe, though the voices are maybe a little bit to mashed up but not bad, for me the bass is just oke. I like this one, i took it in my playlist

Thanks mates for kind words,

I know now too, that with subwoofer bass is too loud - my studio is in our bedroom which weakens the bass (instead of being obvious boomy, but reason for the effect is same - standing waves just cancel each other here). I have taken your comments up, and I will make a new version of this mix if it is needed for more serious purposes. Now I cannot be arsed, I am generally happy to the mix, and more importantly my head is burstin with ideas for next tune, so I am off to work that.
