Started out chilly willy but then there was an agressor button and i pushed it ... http://users.skynet.be/lunatic/Daftsides.ogg still needs some work (atmospheric, bit work on the bassline, and maybe even a third drop, or do something like part 1 and part 2 ...) comments very much appreciated __ It's a spiritual thing ! 03-02-2003 14:30 Whizz Cool Producer Registration Date: 07-11-2002 Posts: 124 Helpfulness rating:  You bastard !!! I was working on a tune with the exact same 'disco' sample Anyway, I don't really like you're tune, it sounds a little messy at some points and there's no real flow in the track. Sorry man! I used the sample much better j/k Whizz __ 03-02-2003 14:39 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Like the drums in the intro. Takes a lil long before something happens tho. (4 minutes before new elements are added...). So it's got some nice stuff, but should be shorter imo __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 03-02-2003 14:40 -J- Big Bad Battyman Registration Date: 15-11-2002 Posts: 1,043 Helpfulness rating:  i'm thinkin about splitting in 2 tracks ... and work them both out __ It's a spiritual thing ! 03-02-2003 14:45 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Might be a good idea! __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 03-02-2003 17:45 -J- Big Bad Battyman Registration Date: 15-11-2002 Posts: 1,043 Helpfulness rating:  decided to do that ... anybody else comments on what's already there ?? u could consider it now as two tunes unfinished and mixed together __ It's a spiritual thing ! 03-02-2003 22:22 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  I think the melody of the later part could use a more powerfull smashing break __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 04-02-2003 09:10 -J- Big Bad Battyman Registration Date: 15-11-2002 Posts: 1,043 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by Surya I think the melody of the later part could use a more powerfull smashing break even more it's already three amens and two other breaks overlapped what do you mean with more powerfull ? __ It's a spiritual thing ! 04-02-2003 18:57 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by -J- quote: Originally posted by Surya I think the melody of the later part could use a more powerfull smashing break even more it's already three amens and two other breaks overlapped what do you mean with more powerfull ? Well, altho you layered all those things, it still sounds pretty relaxed most part of the track (ending is indeed a bit rougher) and you should use a more intese break imo __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 04-02-2003 22:50 thechronic admin Registration Date: 01-11-2002 Posts: 5,293 Helpfulness rating:  Have listened to this several times now, but find it hard to give an opinion... First of all the buildup is not good, normally a track should flow really nicely, so even when you listen to it for the first you should be able to predict when changes will occur (eg when drops are about to happen etc) - very important for dancing The clicky kick drum that is introduced at 1:16 is not really suited for dnb, I like the first one better (though it's maybe the same but filtered?) The layering is really too much... it sounds very chaotic in the end. I do like the background sounds and the way you move them around all the time I guess the buildup is one of the hardest things to get right, Surya and Whizz are masters in this, but I suppose it's hard to explain how to do a great buildup, it probably has to do more with feel than technique. __ If you find spam on the site, please hit the button and select my name.

Still got too much to learn in too little time (well that's what i want), and i know the fastest way to learn these things is working together with someone who can do it like breathing ...
