This track is pretty much finished, but i still dont feel its got the complete right feel to it, just wanna see if it appeals to dnb heads.. because its kinda going away from the awesomeness of the dnb style to a bit more melody and stuff.. please review on the production quality and the content would be great .. feedback is well appreciated 21-10-2007 17:28 Wood. Producer Registration Date: 29-07-2007 Posts: 70 what attacked me was the snare, which I think is too loud and too, uhm, big? too metallic? I don't know how to say it, I think you know what I'm talking about. The rest is very nice, can't find any other things than that snare.. In the main its hard to hear the rest of the break =D lol gotta tune that one snare imo. nice spacey vibez. also the ghost at the end sound a bit strange to me, but that could be because of my personal taste, so if you like em, don't care =D 21-10-2007 18:36 GeeZZ Cool Producer Registration Date: 31-03-2007 Posts: 163 Helpfulness rating:  dont think its too far away from dnb style i mean there no one dnb style anyway theres loads u cud speed it up a little but i dunno if the track wud suffer n e way the build was great 2 b honest i was a little disapionted with the drop cos i was expect sumfin a bit better really cos everythin up till that piont was hot i think its the strings cloudin the hi end bass i think the track wud roll with a big squareish low boom boom type bass (cant think of an example) mixed up wiv wat u got right now. snare=maybey alittle reverb and layered wiv a quieter lower pitched snare melodys = good bass sound=v good bass melody =good but dont stand out mutch underneath the strings 21-10-2007 19:11 Binary Havoc Binary Havoc Registration Date: 25-07-2007 Posts: 730 Helpfulness rating:  Hey Invent, I Like most of this a lot. Pads are cool, lfo bass is good. Think the beats let it down, the snare feels extremely washy. Don't know what effects are on it but imo a crisper more mono snare would work better here. The other drums sound ok but difficult to tell with that snare in there. Rest of production sounds pretty good.

Good wide seperation, good Reece! Around 1:40 the ducking pad / string doesn't feel right to me though. Too loud? Kinda get in the way. Needs a bit more of a change on the lead later on I think but overall well put together. 22-10-2007 21:15 Shinyuri myspace.com/shinyuribeats Registration Date: 05-01-2007 Posts: 422 Helpfulness rating:  not much to add which aint been said - when the mix down gets done proper tho i reckon it will be awesome. got lots of nice melodies in ere. get it sorted and repost. __ www.myspace.com/shinyuribeats revel in the crapness of the website and then hit the add button... go on, do it, u know u wanna 23-10-2007 09:23 stiffer Producer Registration Date: 06-10-2007 Posts: 60 sounds very trancey in the breakdown, i like the melodies here the snare is not punchy enough kinda just sounds like a clap with fx. the ideas are good in this track but the beat needs a little work. reminds me of something along the lines of Klute. the low mids need a bit of clearing up as well in places to stop the muddiness in that area. nice vibes tho bruv. keep at it!! 23-10-2007 14:33 Invent Cool Producer Registration Date: 03-09-2005 Posts: 179 Helpfulness rating:  ok cool, thank you all. I had a good look at the track, and think i got the mix done very nicely now, i just had to sit down with some clean ears and get a listen done you know... will post it up on myspace in a bit. 23-10-2007 16:05 Tomos Infidel Registration Date: 15-04-2007 Posts: 2,276 Helpfulness rating:  The melodies are excellent but like the others are saying, the mix needs quite a bit of work. Some of the synths are too far back, the snare too upfront, too much reverb, etc. I don't have a problem with this being not-dnb-enough. Dnb has always taken influences from different styles of music. As long as the beats are there, then you'll probably get away with it... which this track does. I like it, nice tune! __ MySpace | Soundcloud | Drumnbass.be | Facebook "It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."
