Change the BPM to something downloadable! what is this, 10 megs for a song? 180bpm? No way...

(personally, i prefer shorten or monkey's audio, but those lossless type files are much larger than an mp3)... __ 12-12-2003 21:44 Muad'Dib Andrejnalin Registration Date: 02-12-2003 Posts: 4,197 Helpfulness rating:  Ok, I take my words back. But still, 10 megs?! Come on man, that's way to big :-) Nevermind, I've heard your tune, and I like it a lot! Nice drums ;-) cya __ Thinking about becoming an Image-Line/FL Studio customer?

I personally prefer songs with great drops every 2 minutes so you get more extreme highs en lows in a song, but of course you can't have a mix with only crazy buildups. Nice work. __ check out http://www.ig91.be for some nice Antwerp tripstep (incl a demo of our liveset) also check out http://rudymental.ig91.be: it was supposed to be Ska but something went wrong 13-12-2003 18:28 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Finally could download it Intro is fine. Amen is nice crisp. Bassline is fine too. Switching between the different breaks sounds a bit uninspired at times, this could be executed a bit better. The variations in the amen itself could be a bit better too, but not bad. Amen is a bit too loud imo. Overall I would say you had a good idear, but the execution could be better. It sounds a bit like you didn't know where you were going while making it, so you just added all kinds of variations and different breakz. So work a bit more on giving everything more meaning, it will work better. __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 14-12-2003 15:28 thechronic admin Registration Date: 01-11-2002 Posts: 5,293 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by Dave_Akuma as far as the 10 megs---it's cuz the tune's encoded at 192kbps, cuz the over-all sound quality of mp3 isn't all that great especially at lower endoding rates, and what's the point of posting a tune that has crappy sound quality?

I wish everybody would encode at 192kbps or higher, makes it much easier to judge the quality of a song But I guess for people with a slow connection or with little room left on their HDs it can be quite a pain __ If you find spam on the site, please hit the button and select my name.

I don't wonder why there are no replies.. ! :-) what's that rubbish ... 10megs = a veeeery long tune @ a low bitrate, OR -mostly - a normal tune @ high quality wtf is the problem with a high bitrate, nothing, yea i thought so ... and 180bpm ... most dj sets are above that rate paul b, danny c, johnny l, they all produce their tunes @+- 180 bpm ... anyway, nice producin business, but don't like the tune, amen has no character, the levelling and eq'ing compared to them other breaks is a bit awkward, nice basses and good (dj-approved ) intro tho .. you got the right bricks, now just find the plan for the right castle you can build with them __ It's a spiritual thing ! 14-12-2003 17:23 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Tunes » new amen smasher
