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

This is my first track up on the site. Taking it bak to early renegade hardware influence. But with a very modern Tint. Compiled this one last week as a using cinematic film scores within DnB tune Project. So please let me know how i can improve on this..

Sounds nice, but when there's a lot going on at once the sound seems to crackle (clip) and all sounds seem to fight for space. Lower the levels of some of the loudest ones to fix it.
your basses should go a bit deeper too.
For a first track this on is great.

Wow, that's a long track. Shocked The change at 3.00 doesn't really work for me, it's too strange. The change at 7.30 is a little weird too. Doesn't quite gel imo. But that's just personal pref. I love the string melodies tho - they are truly excellent! Bigup

Like Battle said, there are quite a few occassions when it clips because there are too many loud sounds layered on top of each other. You should think about reducing some of the layers to get a cleaner and more focused sound.

Normally, I'd say a tune like this sounds over-compressed, too loud and too long... but it works really well here! Overall, the levels are balanced pretty well - which is no easy task for a track of this length.

Mate, I looooooove that ethnic vocal around 5.30 and 10.50 with the string melodies! Drool Fuuuuuuck.

Overall, a very good effort indeed.

I don't like the vocals in the intro at all.
The melodies are very nice once they get going.
Main concern is that it sounds muddy possibly due to too much going on at the same time.
Again that vocal at 1:50 still don't like it.
Drops need working on.

It's a crazy idea I can tell you that but atm it sounds like loads of tracks rolled into a badly mixed podcast rather than one nice rolling tune.

Some of the breakz sound quite industrial to me - don't mind them but they need some work on the eQ'n somewhat - Sound really muddy distorted and combined with the rest of the sounds = clip'n mayhem !?

0oh Love the ethnic vocal 5:15-5:56
Would work quite well in a movie like King Arthur, 300, etc ...
Build up to | or aftermath of a great battle scene.

More mayhem.

Again with the lovely ethnics at 10:48

Structure needs some work, Possibly make the overall length of the tune shorter.
Remove some of the sounds to free the headroom up a wee bit and hopefully the overall mix will sound nicer and less muddy !
Intro vox need to go defo.

Damn esé what a long track.
Good effort though !

Maybe you should try your hands at a Celldweller ReMix comp !? - HeHe.

Love those drum patterns, Techy as fuck, great sounding. The pads in this are sweet, give it a lot of depth and keep the interest up. with the changes. I like the bass sound and that snarling creature type bass sound you got in there. I'd say layer it up with a lower passed level and it would sound sick. Overall I'd say the tune was a little too long, I have a tiny attention span tho so maybe don't listen to my advice on that, but I would be tempted to take ideas and make two different tracks outta this one. Definitely wasn't boring tho, well done mate.

great build up with lots of lovly melodys and good use of drums. some very complex patterns in there but i think the kik drum needs to be worked on it, it just seems to short to me. overall it sounds good but just a bit to long.

ez mate, and welcome to dotbe Wink big renegade fan here too Big Grin

intro is very atmospheric, realy sets the mood like it lots! yeah that bass as well when it comes in is bad buoy!

from 2:00 sounds sounds a bit distorted, clippin like BD said, think u need to sort the overall levels and eq out

the intro is a bit long, think u could build all that tension in a shorter space of time, get the arrangement and structure in a more conventional format

great ideas, really feelin the vibe, just needs work on eq, levels and structure so everything fits together better and ur onto a winner Bigup
