Please check out my new track 'Peace of Mind' and post your comments here!!!

This track was inspired by Gregg's "Party Hard" and the use of vocals in some of Binary Havoc's older tunes.

The quote came from an impromptu recording I made of a friend.

Respect to Binary Havoc and Tomos for their advice on this track. I'm trying to incorporate Tomos' critiques into a newer version but I figured I would get a few other opinions as well Smile

Feedback is very appreciated.

love the breaks. listening on laptop so cant review the mix down. main lead gets a bit repetitive and istnt that inspired but that is overpowered by the beats that keep it interesting. if you worked on adding some more impressivly programed melodies behind the beat you would have a sick track here. and of course this is only half a track but i am sure you know that

Nice drop mate. Not very keen on intro, but thats taste.

Nice bit of glitch work.

I think the sample is being used to much, it's taking away from the tune.

Sound is pretty much spot through out. Maybe up the drums a touch and drop the vocal.

Nice work Smile

Those vocals kick ass. I like the track, not much to complain about. Maybe this: your kick drum sounds a bit fucked up. More weirdness wanted.

Sweet piece of music here. Really dig the chord progression. That tracey gated synth is sweet, could be even more upfront.
Nice drum programming and good work using the glitch. Mixdown sounds good, too!

Gets a high rating, cheers!

Like I said before, the only bit I'm not keen on is the loud high pitched synth that starts up around 1.36. It kinda breaks up the whole vibe imo. It's too trippy, a little like something Orbital might do.

Apart from that tho, the whole tune is excellent mate. No question. It flows, it's got some big sub, the beats are crisp... everything is there. It's actually not that far from sounding like a pro tune. I love that vocal sample too. (Having said that, I've deffo heard worst sounding 'pro' tunes than this. So it begs the question, what the hell is a 'pro' sound anyway? Big Grin )

My advice would be to try and extend it another minute or two to make it a more complete tune, and maybe remove that high pitched synth melody.

Good work, I'm feelin this. Big improvements on display here. Happy

Love the melody. And the synth used for it. I dont like the vocals with that vocoder, but thats my opinion. The breaks sound like you took a lot of time on them! I like them alot, and i'm always a sucker for glitch. That gated saw is nice, but it got annoying. After a little while, there was so much happening, it kinda hurt my ears. and the vocals got irritating. Eh, this has potential, but the vocals and repetativeness hurt it.
PS, the sub matched very well.
7/10

EZ Buddy

Big steps forward in your production skills here.

Standout part for me would be the drum programming, bass work is very good in places, vocal sample really needs less use, good as it is (like I said to you previously, I reckon you could isolate the "no limits, no time restrictions" phrase and use that more than the rest)

Think there are some issues with the high synth being a little too dischordant

Keep on improving though man Bigup

nice improvement in production. you have come on well.

i like the intro.
the style is not one i am a fan of (its like slowed down breakcore)

atmos sounds good though, it has a nice "feel" to it.

the bells later in the track are not good, chuck them out.

peace
