This my latest neurofunk track. I went with 172 bpm instead of 180(my usual). Overall I think this track is a great improvement. What do you think? __ Rogue AI-Death Star 06-11-2009 05:56 dj DZorder Newbie Registration Date: 06-11-2009 Posts: 4 !! Wow!! Hardcore steps & old skool backgrounds, very nice bass synths,try whith more "attack" on distorted synth to enjoy more the snares. ! 23 ! 06-11-2009 06:14 Glim Stuck In The Late Nineties Registration Date: 16-10-2004 Posts: 1,848 Helpfulness rating:  Great depth to the intro atmosphere, very unique sounding, panning is a bit extreme but maybe that's just coz im listening on headphones. Drums sound well balanced, nice chunky feel to them. That bass is utterly sick, it sounds very pissed off at something lol. Yeah that bass is the driving element in this track, but the drums do well to fight space against it. 02:23 - love the automation on that bass, sounds like a tie fighter from star wars or something. Mate to compare this track to the other one i reviewed this is miles better, very pro sounding, well done! My only comment would be the ending being a little empty although the vocal fx is cool, maybe add a tiny little synth melody to go out on.. Excellent work though!

I really dig what you did to the bass, and want to know how you did it. You might want to work on your musical knowledge before adding string chords, though. It puts this track down. Look for tutorials on musical theory and chords. Experiment with them on your MIDI keyboard, try to repeat simple chords from your favorite songs. Add some vocal samples with heavy reverb on them. The track's buildup is not dj-friendly. The intro is very short and the drop is just a fade in of the beat. Seems very hard to mix, to me. You should make the intro at least 32 bars long, with a hard transition to the main part. 07-11-2009 19:33 Travis_Huckins Rogue Ai Registration Date: 18-06-2008 Posts: 200 Helpfulness rating:  I used music theory so don't go telling me that I don't know how to do chords. Also I thought of it as the 1st track of a set. __ Rogue AI-Death Star 07-11-2009 22:14 Glim Stuck In The Late Nineties Registration Date: 16-10-2004 Posts: 1,848 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by Galvatron The track's buildup is not dj-friendly.

To be fair that's not too much of an issue, it makes it original and to be used for certain things, i.e the start of sets.. What about Konflict - Messiah, one of the best DnB tunes to date, the intro is pure atmosphere... until the filth kicks in that is... __ My Sounds 08-11-2009 01:30 Scurf Cool Producer Registration Date: 26-10-2006 Posts: 164 Helpfulness rating:  Nice intro and drop :-) Like the bassline... Maybe more work with the drums .... more hats, rides... 10-11-2009 19:32 cynik Cp6uja Registration Date: 15-03-2005 Posts: 5,646 Helpfulness rating:  that bass is great but the drums need to thud more, you have evolved much and that is obvious in your synth work. still think it needs more dirty beats, but that may be down to your preference keep up __ https://soundcloud.com/tsai-vidro-voves 11-11-2009 07:21 deulcore Tourist Registration Date: 13-03-2008 Posts: 10 Helpfulness rating:  Well, I'm not a DJ, when I make music I don't even think about turntables, Am I sick doctor ? Is it really important to be in the standard 3.30min, intro, build up, chorus, breakdown, chorus, outro ? I think eveything flow pretty well, man this bass ligne is nasty, It's pretty crusty. The string part does the trick, I was expecting it develop sometime during the song. Some vocals would be great, true. A little lead part, following your string and/or bassline could be welcome. You got talent, more work will be profitable for this song. 13-11-2009 04:25 rivalfaction Producer Registration Date: 06-08-2008 Posts: 24 Helpfulness rating:  man, this is right up my street what u using? how do u make this modulating/filtered bass sounds keep it lit! 13-11-2009 13:13 Dethworm Cymatics Registration Date: 11-01-2009 Posts: 332 Helpfulness rating:  Fantastic improvement. Great synth sounds. The second one is too loud. Lack of subbass but the mix sounds KILLER. What are you producing in. That wind sound could be cooler. Drums sounds great on these shitty headphones. Great improvement buddy. __ www.soundcloud.com/riveraccorsi 13-11-2009 17:38 Zugzwang Doin' it for the love Registration Date: 13-05-2009 Posts: 206 Helpfulness rating:  The atmosphere in the intro is spot on, good tension build up throughout the track. After the drop the kick doesn't seem to be cutting through the mix enough, bass sounds filthy though. I think the volume depth of the automation on the bass is a little too deep, it makes the bass cut out and seems too choppy for my taste. I like the breathy effect and the second bass sound really compliments the first. Mega improvement mate, keep it up. 14-11-2009 04:08 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Tunes » Travis_Huckins - Rej3cted
