Drums are crisp. Reverb on the keys and vocal is perfect too me. Still think the main vocal hook, "what are ya gonna do", is slightly off key- (but CP and I have discussed this previously). Secondary vocal sounds bang on to me LOVE the drop @ 2:00!!!! wasnt expecting that! the guitar works really well.. __ Quality DNB clothing Co founder of Instinct Audio ImpactMastering: Affordable Digital Mastering/Mixing service 14-09-2010 09:49 m-ej Master Producer Registration Date: 08-05-2008 Posts: 637 Helpfulness rating:  yeah i know about that vocal m8 the f***ing ho will not sit properly. iv tried everything i know to sort it, elastic pitch/time stretching/warp markers/transpose/samplers this is as good as i could get it. i could go all melodyne or autotune on her ass, but im kinda sick of the bitch now lolololol cheers for the comments bruvva on to the next one then. __ m-ej is taking a few steps back from forum life. 14-09-2010 10:28 Impact Wicked Producer Registration Date: 29-08-2010 Posts: 439 Helpfulness rating:  I reckon you could get away with losing the primary vocal.

Registration Date: 30-12-2005 Posts: 6,413 Helpfulness rating:  Love the atmosphere... Some vocal bits are off tone really bad though. I would suggest to either tune them or leave them out because they really don't do the tune any good. Drumbuildup in the breakdown could use some work to be more tight. __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 14-09-2010 12:11 m-ej Master Producer Registration Date: 08-05-2008 Posts: 637 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by BattleDrone I would suggest to either tune them or leave them out because they really don't do the tune any good. cheers BD m8. i'll give melodyne a stab n see if i cant sort her out __ m-ej is taking a few steps back from forum life. 14-09-2010 12:24 tryptech Tryptech Registration Date: 16-08-2006 Posts: 853 Helpfulness rating:  Top notch man __ ANALOGUE (Tryptech) 14-09-2010 17:23 m-ej Master Producer Registration Date: 08-05-2008 Posts: 637 Helpfulness rating:  @ tryptech. cheers m8, just a bit more to do to it __ m-ej is taking a few steps back from forum life. 14-09-2010 21:56 dLO dannyLO Registration Date: 29-05-2009 Posts: 325 Helpfulness rating:  nice pad work in the intro. esp. when its just the pad & Vox around 0:45 ... wish the vox were in tune. Why not change the instruments to match the vox if you can't get the vox in key? Seems like an easier fix to me. Real nice sounding sub. Sounds really full. Nice guitar work too. Might be nice to drop out some of the pads when the guitar comes in so they aren't fighting for space. All around good tune mate. nice 1 __ follow me here: http://soundcloud.com/dannylo 15-09-2010 04:08 m-ej Master Producer Registration Date: 08-05-2008 Posts: 637 Helpfulness rating:  cheers danny that s a few more things to work on __ m-ej is taking a few steps back from forum life. 15-09-2010 08:07 smifff Cool Tourist Registration Date: 08-10-2006 Posts: 28 Listening again, i'd whip off the the first vox Marc... that piano still takes me back __ 15-09-2010 13:01 m-ej Master Producer Registration Date: 08-05-2008 Posts: 637 Helpfulness rating:  yeah that's the general consensus stu m8 __ m-ej is taking a few steps back from forum life. 15-09-2010 13:04 bm84 Bone Man Registration Date: 14-11-2007 Posts: 171 Helpfulness rating:  lovely mate. vocal is crackin, suits the mood really well. would fit in well on a hospital records mix, good work __ www.soundcloud.com/bone-man 16-09-2010 20:26 m-ej Master Producer Registration Date: 08-05-2008 Posts: 637 Helpfulness rating:  cheers boner m8. just gotta sort out the vocal __ m-ej is taking a few steps back from forum life. 17-09-2010 08:26 pusha waveform molester Registration Date: 07-01-2010 Posts: 757 Helpfulness rating:  llovely mate __ buy the ticket take the ride 24-09-2010 14:21 Nick ZZ Master Producer Registration Date: 29-05-2005 Posts: 960 Helpfulness rating:  Nice mixdown, The sounds freqs are seperated well. Like the mellodies and the vibe. The drop is off key, I think if you fixed that it would help the tune recover.

Intro is wicked, nice pads. Drums are tight, love the sub! I agree on the vocal-thing tho, just keep the second one. Nice build-up. Mixdown sounds excellent. Keep 'em comming! 30-09-2010 14:48 Dub Bananez Dub Bananez Registration Date: 06-10-2010 Posts: 394 Drumz in the intro are very flat and lack dynamics. Like the vocals, but think they could have been used a little better. Like the strings. Not to big on the builds.
