Good structure thou, good vibe 28-03-2010 17:07 xevex Producer Registration Date: 06-08-2007 Posts: 45 cool chilled vibe on this, i like it. the snare sound is good, hats are ok some things that might help: 1.more drum edits, ghost snares and overall beat variation 2.the bass needs eqing or something 3.the kick sounds like pitch or eq/filter might help, maybe too loud too, no? 4.i hearsome low freq. in the pad might be interfering w/ the bass 5.pads and other sounds could be a little louder i think 28-03-2010 20:04 Zugzwang Doin' it for the love Registration Date: 13-05-2009 Posts: 206 Helpfulness rating:  Cheers for the review mate. I'm vibing off of this tune hard, I really like the bassline during the first section. All its missing is a beautiful, melodic lead over it. Would love to hear some gorgeous liquid melodies over that first bassline. The second section (when the bassline changes and the lead comes in) sounds offkey, you might want to look into getting all the notes working synergistically together. Some surgical EQing would help clean the mix a little bit more too. But I'm really liking this track, you should totally finish it! Wouldn't mind having a stab at remixing it either, once it's finished. If that's cool. 29-03-2010 10:11 Karl M Karl M Registration Date: 29-03-2010 Posts: 28 I also suck at giving names to my tracks, but this one is awesome. I like the jazzy style of it, but the beats could be more jazzy, more junglish style. But the atmosphere is good, good vibes, but needs some punch at specific moments. But hey, i'm no one ! Good stuff like it. Check out : www.myspace.com/00karlm00 29-03-2010 11:16 Scurf Cool Producer Registration Date: 26-10-2006 Posts: 164 Helpfulness rating:  Good drum selection... Nice bass vibe... Needs a lot of work, more sounds, more pads, rearranging.... However, it has a good potential, nice mixdown... Finish this one. 30-03-2010 21:53 simage Simplicity is the key Registration Date: 19-03-2010 Posts: 239 Helpfulness rating:  i don't really understand this: my reviews are mainly good but the votes only 50% :s The entire song's almost finished and i'll probably upload it tomorrow Thanks anyways for the reviews.

Just my opinion. Peace ! 01-04-2010 00:22 Chamber206 Producer Registration Date: 25-03-2010 Posts: 34 i definitely hear the Alix Perez influence... Good ambient synths, jazzy rhodes riff, bassline is simplistic which is perfect for this track. I think that the bass is way too boosted... it needs to be eq'd down. same with the kick drum. i dont know what program you use, but if it were me, working with reason, i would first try eq'ing the kicks to cut off the low end, definitely everything below 30hz. for the bass try a similar approach. as far as the drum patterns go, i like the minimal feel, but never underestimate how powerful some very light hats can be.. they fill the track out and give it that rolling live feeling. 01-04-2010 04:26 Scurf Cool Producer Registration Date: 26-10-2006 Posts: 164 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by Scurf Needs a lot of work, more sounds, more pads, rearranging.... quote: Originally posted by simage i don't really understand this: my reviews are mainly good but the votes only 50% :s The entire song's almost finished and i'll probably upload it tomorrow Thanks anyways for the reviews.
