I didn't have time to make a track the last couple of weeks, and when i had my day off today i had a nice little start. The old hardcore/early rave synth stab is my favourite sound ever. Period. You may think it's cheesy! Enjoi! __ . 01-06-2009 20:58 BattleDrone 2161... the future.

Tune has pontential, eq/mixdown could do with some work. __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 01-06-2009 23:36 Sephiroth Master Producer Registration Date: 11-04-2006 Posts: 741 Helpfulness rating:  kick and snare could be a bit harder, kick seems a bit lost in the drop, rave stab sounds a bit erratic, need to get playing with the envelopes on it, make the relase/ decay a bit shorter....got potential, just sounds a bit messy mix wise....sounds like ya need to use some eq to clean things up and get everything to sit in its own place within the mix. __ Sephiroth Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/sephiroth_rees Sephiroth Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/sephirothdnb C-Sonix Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/c-sonix C-Sonix Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/csonix 02-06-2009 13:48 cynik Cp6uja Registration Date: 15-03-2005 Posts: 5,646 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by drw89 I didn't have time to make a track the last couple of weeks, and when i had my day off today i had a nice little start.

Enjoi! its not cheesy or "old" but a bit disjointed and weird, in some way interesting what is going on with the snare? I can hear it, but theres a loud non snare layer on top which makes for a weird drum loop, not in a good way work more on the sound but dont kill the idea, you might be onto something cool __ https://soundcloud.com/tsai-vidro-voves 02-06-2009 23:45 Ketz Thinking outside the box...

The drums need some more processing, as mentioned before, they sound a little messy. I would like some more low end too, but thats a matter of personal taste I guess . 03-06-2009 19:07 demure mastication fo de nation Registration Date: 22-01-2009 Posts: 921 Helpfulness rating:  hmm as mentioned before that synth really needs to be more upfront and in ya face infact the whole mix sounds a little subdued imo not punchy enough needs better compresion and also to be longer 06-06-2009 03:16 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Tunes » drw89 - Nervous Breakdown
