Please check out my new track 'Verres' and post your comments here!!!

At the beginning of the tune you can hear the original piano sample I used. After that you re gonna hear the sample sliced and pitched.

I made this because I thought it's a funny idea and to show that you can make DNB out of many things^^

The first part could be EQed better, it sounds a bit lifeless. That synth you add does not bring anything for me, maybe you should work out the piano element to the full. Once the track starts it's pretty ok and the idea is original. The end is a bit sudden and deserves more effort. ok as a preview.

Nice idea and carried out pretty well, very original.

Good array of sounds but some seem a bit dry and standard, mabye add some chorus or flanger, especially that synth that comes in at 0:24, it sounds a bit far back and too reverberated.

As lightning flash says 'drums are a bit tinny', the kick is ok but there is a lack of snare influence. Try to increase the snare presence in the first main section (0:17-0:45) you can make them louser or EQ them differently.

The hats hiss too much and kind of roll into each otrher making an annoying noise in the foreground. Imo
This should either be reduced via volume or length of sample(if available).

There is a general lack of sub bass (40-80hz area).

But overall:
Well done a nice preview.

Cool beat and piano edits later on!! Track definitely improves and gets more interesting as it progresses. The first 50 seconds are pretty bad, imo. The different melodies and instruments just don't mix well. And there's no real build-up or theme, it's pretty random and well, weird. But after 50 secs, the track gets a lot better!! I'd actually start the track from 0.49 because it really gels and sounds like a proper track from there.

Nice work on the glitch plugin, btw. Wink

I think this is a really interesting idea for a track.

The beats are very cool. Reminds me a lot of Aphex Twin. I think that in some areas the cymbal sounds are a bit overpowering and seem to drone in the background. The sequencing is very well done though.

I enjoy the piano slicing but I don't think the other melodic elements really add to the piece. At 0:24 and 0:50 the patterns seem to be a bit repetitious and obvious. Maybe a bit more rhythmic variation or movement would improve the flow of the piece. The bass also seems a bit flat, maybe some slight distortion would liven it up.

I really like the drop at 0:45, and the way the opening leads into it.

Overall I think the idea and feel of the track are pretty cool and definitely worth pursuing.
