Please check out my new track 'Crusher (preview)' and post your comments here!
Ok. I haven't been able to produce, or start to produce a tune for many months, every time I get creative I lose interest quickly coz I have forgotten almost everything about what I'd learnt to produce a while ago.. I used to give up..
I don't know why but i got on my PC yesterday and started to write this track. I know almost all of my other uploads have been preview that i havent finished, but my heart is intent on finishing this i promise you..
I am so 'out of the loop' on equing, I'm just going on my ears alone, I read threads on here all the time about levels of stuff, side chaining, etc, haven't a clue what any of it means really, but I want to start learning how to produce properly..
This track will be completed soon, please rip it to bits, i need it, havent a clue how to do half of what most of you guys talk about but i want to..
Spent yesterday afternoon working on the intro up to the drop, came home from the pub tonight and developed the drop, the track is very empty in places, I know, but I have ideas on how I want to fill it up, I'm really looking for comments on the general EQ of the elements..
I WILL be reviewing tomorrow after work to make up for this upload, (give n take, etc)
Thanks for any comments good or bad..

ez mate
nice to see u makin music again! was this done on reason? beat sounds phat in the intro, got a nice slicey feel to it - cuttin things up haha some nice lil edits too good work
intro u could maybe bring a heavier kick in after a while just to build it up more. drop is wicked i really like the bass although u have a variation on the bass that has some panning on it, not sure about that, best keep bass more centred
in terms of eq nothing sounds that out of place to me so ur ears are obviously workin
maybe just give ur kick a lil boost (or just layer another one) for more impact
so the intro soundin good to start with lovely little synth stab btw if this a reason track thats a very nice sound i like the atmosphere the high strings sound very nice indeed im lovin the bit before the drop. id say the kick needs more low end just to help it stand out sor o sounds a little quiet in the lows. big punchy kick and ur laughin i like it mate just get a meatier kick i think it will sound more solid
Also glad to see you're back on it chap!
Beat in the intro has loads of energy to it.
Agree with other that say it needs a deep thumping kick underneath it afer a few bars.
Loving the drop.....this sounds like it could of came out on hardware recs around the time of
like you said it is a little empty in places but its only a preview.
I think what this needs is a bigger kick and a more present subbass and you be well onto a winner
yeah great old skool style ram track , needs EQing loads , i think u need some sub on the main drop beat , or if thereis some it needs alot of attention sounds empty , and the kik on the beat at the start needs some low freq boost , quite a bit , like the track nice

Bad company returned :-)
Great stuff man, you're doing quite well actually.
Intro is great, the drop has a bit of a dull sound to it (technical side of things) but I love the choice of sounds and the melodies of it.
The drop sounds a bit lifeless, missing low and hi end and everything sounds quite centred too.
You just need to do more tunes!

What up Glim good to see a tune from ya! Digging the intro. Buildup to the drop could have a lil more ummph, but once it drops it NASTY BUSINEZZZ! You need to work out the bass sounds tho and get them Eq'd up so they flow better. Also, the beat is a lil back in the mix sound wise. Killer tune so far tho man.....massive potential
Lots of really nice aspects to this tune old Glimster. Intro is lovely, melodies are great, beats are cool, structure is solid and tight, and the bassline in the drop is great too. Once it drops it sounds kinda flat tho. There's something missing. Maybe it just needs more layering and beefing up. What you have is good - it just needs to sound twice as big. I reckon it needs a pad underneath it too, just to make the drop gel better. Perhaps you could bring the strings back into the drop after a few bars?
But yeah, great stuff Glim. It's encouraging to hear a new tune from you. If this is anything to go by, you have big potential.

think you bein quite harsh on yourself mate the intros good like the drums and eerie violins, and howe the bassline comes in thru them before the drop, as you say when it does drop it is definitely quite empty, i think a good idea would be to hav it drop how it does, but at the end of every bar bring in something nu to it, a new bassline to fill in the gaps, or a stronger drumbeat/cymbals etc. on a tune like this with a staggered drumbeat that works really well, keepin the suspence goin as well as the flow of the track. it defintily has potential tho, but im well diggin that intro mate can definitely get a phat tune with that. i rekon a dark sample from a gangster film would sound pretty good beforte the drop as well jut to giv it that little bit mor. potenial is there tho man
