Please check out my new track 'Thinking of You' and post your comments here!!!
Here's my new track which I've been working on for over a week. I'm pretty pleased with it.
Again, I used FL Studio 7. The vocal samples came from a free pack downloaded from the FL Sutdio website.
The beats mainly consist of 3 or 4 different drum loops from Halph Price's samples on this website (thanks for uploading them Halph!), layered with a couple of other snares and kick drums to give them a fuller, fatter sound. Some of the beats are also layered with a Phaser effect. It's pretty easy to spot them.
The bass and main melody is completely my own, made from scratch. I've worked pretty hard on this one, so any comments will be much appreciated!! Hope you enjoy it.

nice vocal and drums.the intro very melodical. i agree that it wouldnt work on the dance floor but more of a chill out track. dont like the drop, some nice fills but just too empty. great little fill before the second drop. all in all a fairly good production

really feeling this track, u can tell lots of work went in this one, lots of nice edits and works perfectly as a chiled track, love the way the bass creeps in subtly - makes a nice change to big drops going off, nice samples that u used to. where u get em? only gripe, i dont like that "pressure" sample. would have prefered it if u lenghened the sample before it with some effects - reverb/delay.
anyways, like the drums, melodies, sounds quite polished mate

Shi - I forgot to answer your questions about the vocals. They were downloaded from the FL Studio website. When users buy FLS they are given access to a load of different samples - pads, vocals, synths, drum kits, etc, etc, etc. A couple of gigabytes there, some really good stuff as well. You really get good value-for-money with FLS.

nice intro. feeling this.
massive improvement from you recently mr. tomos.
nice structure, nice melodies and depth, what can i say?.... great tune mate.
on the only downside....
i think a different kick layered in there would sound better. also, the bass is a touch flat on my end. i do prefer the first half of the track.
anyways, good work, big up.

you reviewed myn so Ill have a go with yours..
Well I do like things dark so I'm not sure what to say?
I can tell you've spent time on this and sounds well balanced.
the only criticism I have is you could of added a bit more interest to the beat by adding a one shot sample into the loop now and then.

nice dude. tool sounding bass sound is great. I appreciate tracks like this, where youve had a play. who did the vox? Yeah drop at 1 min is nice, soothing, sentual sounds. I like this track, original man, well done and big up on playing some more organic type instruments. fuck, love the change up around 1 min 50 sec. cool panning sound. Love it!! big up on the bass growls, sit really well. Fuck, this song should rate higher IMHO! looking forward to hearing more from you soon mate.

Hey goony, thanks for that!
I'm glad you recognised the "tool sounding bass" - that was my intention. Yes, and I did try to make it more organic sounding.
Really glad you like it!! Cheer matey.
