Mixdown could be a bit more shiny in the high end. Would like to hear more of this track. __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 19-09-2008 22:32 Ketz Thinking outside the box...

I would suggest, redoing the drums with some more hi hats, cause right now it sounds like the snare has most of the higher frequency riding on it... I would also maybe put in a couple other layers of snare (to fill in a little more of the 500 hz range and add some punch) - other than that I think it sounds great... not my style but it seems to have great elements... some wob some strings/echo some snare rolls n' shit... clever... maybe heighten the bassline's mid range to make it more pronounced... __ www.myspace.com/jrabbit "Clownstep is a derisory term, used by certain listeners to describe a certain style in a negative way, it's not a subgenre as such, but most producers would feel insulted by the labelling of their music as "clownstep"." 22-09-2008 04:29 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Tunes » Sozai - Shining
