Safe Dotbe crew, Some proper steppy business this time around. Haven't done any mastering on it. Made with FL8, Reason 4, FM8, 3xOsc , what do you think? 14-11-2009 11:42 xCELLx Newbie Registration Date: 14-11-2009 Posts: 4 i really like it, but at the beginning it feels like ur gonna climax to something sick, n it...well, doesnt!! its like sorta ambience, like somet pendulum would do in their spare time, so its dead good, but not extreme!!! hope that makes sense lol. 14-11-2009 16:02 ollieayre1 Newbie Registration Date: 03-11-2009 Posts: 3 This has a really strange relaxed yet pumping and energetic feel to it which i really like. Although the core rhythmic parts ie. drums and bass are quite repetitve i think the whole thing is structured just right and interspersed with just enough variational sounds and leads that it does hold your interest throughout and you don't feel the repetitiveness. Maybe try bringing that underlying lead part up a bit in the mix because it is quite catchy but otherwise an excellent mix. Maybe a tiny bit of top end on the drums because they are ever so slightly flat but that may come with a bit of mastering. 14-11-2009 23:43 tryptech Tryptech Registration Date: 16-08-2006 Posts: 853 Helpfulness rating:  Nice sounds man, intro pads are lovely, beat are tight but snare may be little harder for me that high sound is awesome, definately sometin i would give a spin on vinyl. Really nice flow; Mix is good, but could be better; High sound has to be more upfront for my ears; Kisses __ ANALOGUE (Tryptech) 15-11-2009 00:58 tryptech Tryptech Registration Date: 16-08-2006 Posts: 853 Helpfulness rating:  You deserve that score man, keep onit __ ANALOGUE (Tryptech) 15-11-2009 00:59 BattleDrone 2161... the future.

The bass needs massive low end to give the whole thing power. Overall recording level is way too low. __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 15-11-2009 09:21 Dethworm Cymatics Registration Date: 11-01-2009 Posts: 332 Helpfulness rating:  Atmo is nice and smooth with a really professional feel.Drums sound great and nicely mixed. Kick and snare punch on through. The synths could use more layering and resampling. Its worth it in the end. The melodies are also nice and catchy. Just beef those synth sounds up with some more layers and effects. Also I would like to hear some drum rolls and cool micro variations that make me go wow that was cool/interesting. Nice transitions and dynamic movement and automation as well!
