I have worked on this for about a week now, and I'd say its now finished. All comments appreciated, and opinions on the mixdown/mastering are very welcome. __ SoundCloud Facebook YouTube 28-03-2009 21:04 Dethworm Cymatics Registration Date: 11-01-2009 Posts: 332 Helpfulness rating:  First off I can recognize the pad sound as some canned preset that u just stuck in there...not very exciting. Got a cool melody idea and vibe but needs better execution and sound shaping...your not altering the sounds enough and making them original and the beat work leave some to be desired. Sounds like you got some good melodic ideas but then executed them with some presents and loops/ Try to get a unique vibe going that showcases both your melodies and production abilties. Not bad tho for a song keep working on it. Mix and overall levels sound alright for sure! Got a good roll to it after a while. Also that little piano line get rather annoying after so many repititons. My attention needs to be kept. Riv __ www.soundcloud.com/riveraccorsi 28-03-2009 21:37 Puzzle ..zebra?

Actually Ive stopped using presets a long time ago, seems I just cant make my leads&pads sound pro enough or something. Thanks anyways, maybe I should keep on working with this. __ SoundCloud Facebook YouTube 28-03-2009 21:41 organic.

The guitarish synth is playing a nice pattern. as for the drop. that piano is way to loud and ur drums are buried behind it. not bad but not a great drop. love to hear some more stuff __ hit the myspace Beshai myspace page 30-03-2009 05:37 BattleDrone 2161... the future.

Too much focus on lead melodies and too little on bass imo. __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 30-03-2009 12:00 Ketz Thinking outside the box...
