Please check out my new track '2010' and post your comments here!


An unnamed, modern techstep tune (name suggestions welcome, I'll give out some free 320's for good suggestions Smile ).

All basses and pads made from scratch by me on 3xOsc. Atmospherics made from scratch on 3xOsc and a free VST called Sophia.

Used a bit over 100 patterns in this, hope it shows Wink

EDIT: Accidentally put it down as preview, any way to change that?

Sick sounds, atmosphere is nice and very spacy, certainly one of your best tracks, i listened quite a few of them on youtube. Love your mastering. Its really tight. Bass could do with some less end, maybe some shorter cuts, but its glues the song well togheter. Love the metalheadz kind of sound it has.

around 2. 22 thats cool.

I can hear you've put a lot of effort into this.
Some points of criticism:
- The bass could sound more "alive", at some points it sounds very straightforward and it gets repetitive. Some more filter action or cut off envelope combined with automation would have helped.
- This tune could benefit from more action outside the main path (meaning blips, blops, swooshes, astronauts talking in low quality and what not) this would also give the tune a stronger identity which is somewhat missing now. Hence the problem to find a name or suggest one.

Anyway, purely technical it is a very clean and good production but you could do more with the tune so don't consider my comments to be negative, it's just an attempt to put the icing on the cake.


I've also set the tune from preview to normal.

ez m8.

some nice spacey kinda vocal in the breakdown would really set this track off.
loving the atmos and the whole production.

sounds to me like something is orbiting something,
(but i have flu so everything is orbiting my head at the mo)
ahh theres a possible name right there,,,,,,,,"Oribt"
and if your following the "O" connection (last tune was Objects yeah)?
just a thought m8.

(btw i love objects, sunday morning skin up vibe, real sweet track m8.)

peace n chips n that Smile

wow man! in begin I thought hmm, boring softy track, but than the bass kicked in and it was like sick!, reminds me of tajitsu from noisia ft. dom & ronald, they have this well quite soft intro and than BAM! good job on that acctuallyBig Grin
great job on doing it with 3xosc, i hate that thing, never get the sound i want out it, maybe post a Tut on youtube how to master it? but respect for that man! now about your drums, could have bene more exciting but they fit the song good so wont be a prik on that, like how to kick is still hearable when the bass kicks in, which you couldnt say off all songs lolSmile
your snare could have more punch too, but thats my opinion i like snares that sound like people's head gets smashed in with something snappy lolSmile

overall awesome song man! keep it up!

Like the intro, but I feel that first synth has a touch to much reverb. Better check with Tomos on that though Wink

Like ya drums and the bass sound. Think the kick could be a touch harder. I think you should drop a real low punching sub on every 16th bar.

Your Bridge: Nice but I reckon it could take advantage with a nice vocal piece.

Like the track a lot. Very old school feel and approach. Could do with a few more elements though. Happy

Good work.
