Beats and bassline seem to be lacking any balls if you get my drift. Not at all into that hissy, white noise in the background, is it a cymbal or something? __ https://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=ho...202726396434429 www.soundcloud.com/marukomu Melee/Hustle Audio/Tytanium ArmourBroken Audio/IM:LTD/Rotation/Protect Audio/AutomAte/Instinct Audio 11-11-2008 22:43 BattleDrone 2161... the future. Registration Date: 30-12-2005 Posts: 6,413 Helpfulness rating:  There's something weird in this tune, there's a continuous white noise going on with the bass which sounds like a tire going flat or something. Is that intentional? It sure sounds weird, it could be a hihat, not sure. Also the bassline sounds very techno, it's very repetitive. When the tire-going-flat sound is playing it sounds like there are some things fighting for space. __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 11-11-2008 22:50 Sentinel Mr. Grumpy Registration Date: 05-04-2008 Posts: 845 Helpfulness rating:  I think intentional darktech or something !? I dunno !!! Honestly. Too much noise going on esé, can't hear all the elements. Not in me sennhy's anyway. I can hear the distorted hi-hat / cymbal more than anything and the vox dipping in and out ! Sort it 0ot ! __ 11-11-2008 23:30 Parasyte aka Sickboy Registration Date: 04-03-2008 Posts: 35 sorry guys im using hifi speakers atm, so i cant really do much about the hiss but i'll give it a shot.... *opens ozone* __ 12-11-2008 00:13 Sentinel Mr. Grumpy Registration Date: 05-04-2008 Posts: 845 Helpfulness rating:  HaHa. I tried to mixdown in a 2.1/5.1 soundsystem before. Was funny ... Sounded fine in that but in everything else ... Well dios bloody mio, anything but !!! HaHa __ 12-11-2008 01:11 DaMann Newbie Registration Date: 10-11-2008 Posts: 9 The intro sample is pretty cool along with the sidechained kick thing, but you know the violins that go on while the vocals are going, they are fine for the very begging but I would remove them for a few seconds after the first kick, but they should be brought in for a minute, but it gets kind of old. The ending is pretty cool with the choir and the kind of backspin effect. I also really like the kick. I think the drum patterns should change up a bit. At 1:20 or so that sweeping effect sounds like it is completely panned to the left speakers. Great job! -DaMann 12-11-2008 01:18 Parasyte aka Sickboy Registration Date: 04-03-2008 Posts: 35 quote: Originally posted by DaMann The intro sample is pretty cool along with the sidechained kick thing, but you know the violins that go on while the vocals are going, they are fine for the very begging but I would remove them for a few seconds after the first kick, but they should be brought in for a minute, but it gets kind of old.

Real different elements man. Certainly really heavy extremely. Lovin it when you change it up with the Glitch. Great build and everything. Maybe a sharper snappy snare would be good. The choir in the back I thought was a bit much. I reckon if you cut it out at some stage it'd give a bit of the drums and bass of the song some space to move in. If you know what I mean?.....I don't think that made sense.. OVERALL BRO BANGIN TUNE HEAVY UPBEAT AND UPLIFTIN GOOD STUFF MATE __ RESPEKT to the jungle massive http://www.myspace.com/djmisshin 12-11-2008 08:49 c_ctrl Wicked Producer Registration Date: 02-06-2008 Posts: 307 Helpfulness rating:  Yeah this is quite good in terms of structure and ideas, I really like it in that respect. Theres a lot going on in the drops tho and that needs to be sorted out in terms of clarity.. get EQing that!! The drums also sound slightly over compressed or something, they have very little punch and don't cut through as well as they probably could do. The bleeps and glitches work well, I reckon when they cut through and don't fight for space, then it WILL be a bangin' choon. Reckon I recognize that little vocal "aah" sample aswell Nice work mate __ DeCode & Roary Soundcloud 13-11-2008 02:45 Tomos Infidel Registration Date: 15-04-2007 Posts: 2,276 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by BattleDrone There's something weird in this tune, there's a continuous white noise going on with the bass which sounds like a tire going flat or something. Totally agree with that. If you lost that continuous background hiss, this tune would sound much, much better. Atm, it's very uncomfortable to listen to, you're ears don't get any rest. From what I can hear of the melodies tho, they are good. You've got a good ethereal, almost gothic-like vibe here.
