Yes yes, I know what you're thinking. He's uploading another one AAARGH! lol This is the last one I'm puttin' up as I am moving on for now, added some intro bits n pieces and some stuff at the second drop. Tried to take on as much advice as I can and to InsidiousX for that tip regarding sampling the synths out otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do anything at all!

Enjoyed that. I think your drums need a bit more power really. Have you filtered them? Bit on the tinny side. Like the pads, bring them forward a bit. Not bad mate __ 13-10-2008 22:49 Astrocyte Chef 'n' Bass Registration Date: 24-09-2008 Posts: 738 Helpfulness rating:  yeh, took me a while to sort that intro... totally changed from before w/ those pads. Whole new atmosphere to it. lol @the drums .... I been fighting these drums the whole way - too tinny, too muffled hehehe The main break was notched before but it ain't now. Just my EQ'ing, needs a bit of extra work - bit more mids, bit on the thin side. Was trying to get more top end but I seem to have cancelled some mids lol I'll get there Yeh, pads are a bit on the quiet side, noticed it on the DVD system when I played it there - was fine on everything else!

The drums are weak. You need a big boomy kick imo and one more snare layered. The track dont have a real low-end you should to make that sub heavier because its virtually silent now. 14-10-2008 19:26 Astrocyte Chef 'n' Bass Registration Date: 24-09-2008 Posts: 738 Helpfulness rating:  Thanks for all the feedback everyone, greatly appreciated as always. The range of opinion (with regards to the mix) seems to vary with different setups. I really need to get some headphones and stuff, thought I'd hit a lucky one today when a random payment for a logo I did months ago came through but its spent before I even clapped eyes on the cash I will be leaving the tunage alone for a bit (including reviews) as my ears are buggered due to a stinking cold Time to get reading! __ Astrocyte - Kill em All, Track #10 from Team_174 "Off World" LP (FREE) 14-10-2008 22:42 BattleDrone 2161... the future.

I don't know where you want to go with this track, there's no clear concept. __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 15-10-2008 20:41 Astrocyte Chef 'n' Bass Registration Date: 24-09-2008 Posts: 738 Helpfulness rating:  @BattleDrone I know, I heard it earlier To be perfectly honest, I made a total fuckup of this one. I did certain things ie. sampled out some shit and brought them back in in nn19/XT's and forgot some EQing, panned some shit somehow that shouldn't be panned, adjusted the wrong levels here and there. Well, I have a cold (thats my excuse, do you like it?) so my ears are shit and I'm er... sticking to that? lol, no, lessons learned. And I need headphones or something as trying to get anything right (its literally small-ass PC speakers I'm down to these days for real-time) is nigh on impossible so any changes I make have to be done gradually and then burned to CD then listened to and adjusted etc.. No excuses, I need to sort my setup out bigstyle. Also @BattleDrone, yes, I was thinking much the same thing earlier (regards the whole direction of the track) I started out aiming for this oldskooly-jungly noisy thing but I've introduced these newer elements that are effectively another track; the first drop now seems totally out of place with the rest of it. I am leaving this track and moving on with many, many lessons learned and am also grateful to everyone who's put in such honest opinions (not to mention encouragement). Now thats waaaaaay to much fawning imo, sickly almost!
