Please check out my new track 'Sound & Form' and post your comments here!

Sorry for the multiple WIP threads..

Here is the final version.
It rocks hard on my monitors- I hope it sounds good on your setup.

I've tried my best mixing down, but my PC has reached the point of the not playing back in realtime anymore as the song has a lot going on.
If you feel the mix sucks, please let me know and I'll have to work on the bounced stems instead.

The mastering is pretty much the limit of my skills at the minute (and my ears) I think a few days break will give me some perspective.

Enjoy.

Was not sure about the horns in the intro but is something different and refreshing, good job.
The atmosphere is dark and moody which with the minimal amount of instruments and good mixing give this track space and clarity.
Some nice vocals that sit well in the mix, I assume sampled movie grabs.
While i'm no mastering engineer it sounds great through my cans (Sennheiser HD 515).
Will give it a run through on my main system (R5a+R10s) next time I power it up, but I'm sure it will hit all the right spots.

Sounds fantastic on on my main rig ! Turned it up a bit and it just got better.

Love to add this to my library/set, stands up to commercial releases.

Your choice of sounds has inspired me in a new (not cloned) direction. Big ups !

Well done once again.

I like your intro. Right at the start where the horns are playing, I would have something verylight and wispy under them as currently when they stop there is nothing there. Your sounds have a very warm texture to them. Maybe under the drop you could have something in the higher range of the eq spectrum just underneath just to give it a bit more hiss. Maybe a repeating swish that pans as well. You could try it, it might sound crap, you never know. Also, going back to the intro, I would add some more effects to the vocal samples just to make them a bit more atmospheric/surreal. Good work though, well done. Am looking forward to hear what this will sound like once you've done a bit more work on it.

That intro is huge! Big ups on that, sounds so professional. Killer breaks and vocal samples too, loving it. Was expecting a bigger drop than what is in it but still enjoyed it in a big way none the less, was just the feeling i was getting off the way you had written the intros that's all.
Only gripes is that kick sounds pretty muddy, would sound wild tightened up a bit with the 'boominess' taken out of it, perhaps just a bit of bottom end eq required? Sounds like its interfering with your sub bass quite a bit but i personally like a lot of bottom end taken off my kicks and all my drums in general so it could just be a personal thing.
Rate this track in a big way.

thanks entrapt. some good feedback there. Smile

I've tweaked the kick slightly (as you suggested entrapt), added a texture and redone the vox as per paces suggestions- and I do think its a better tune for it Smile

I'll PM BD and get the old version removed.

In the meantime check the refixed version here:
