Please check out my new track 'Sunset Morning' and post your comments here!
Little bit of a mixed mood but uplifting vibe.
I hope you guys like it! I was enjoying the amount of amen breaks being used in a few tunes being played on bassdrive so i took a stab at using it in this tune.
Love it man , has that typical bassdrive vibe
killer track
very good mix, love the bass around 140, may be a little loud in the mix, may be you could add an reeverb envelope on it, from dry till wet every 8 bars or so, just an idea, would make it more lively
MIXDOWN=PERFECT
That step sequenced vibe is too hard at the front of the track, it detracts from the drop (which sounds great by the way) The wow bass is a bit plastic and needs warming up and distorting in some way. The main pianoe riff sounds awesome and the way you're jumping betwene sections is great (the amen break sounds mint). That echo'y snare you throw in as a one off here and there sounds really nice too - more of that vibe. Everything in this tune that sounds good is woody rather than plastic - In my opinion you should take it more that way with every sound in the piece.
I generally think you could add more dirt to the mix (maybe record crackle or radio hiss. Also try some more edits with the break and maybe even another vocal sample to answer the first one. I do like the way you go sequenced beat at the end though, it's allot easier to mix out of a tune with that beat on the decks. Over-all great tune, looking forward to version 2.
Zaf
the rattle in the intro is an interesting sound
the drums are nice and punchy although im wondering if they could be filtered on the intro
the intro piano is lovely but a bit quiet
drop is awesome, although the high pitched sounds are too loud for my liking
bass is lovely and vocal effects are really well done, i like the stereo seporation of them, but i feel that there could be more stereo stuff going on in the rest of the track. nice drum rolls
not really a fan of the 'wub's that come in, i think a bit more work could have gone into them.
i love the break down itts really smooth
overall the mix is great its not over compressed and the track holds interest. nice one.
Every1 moans about amens untill they sound good then it gets 4 gotten. I recon the trak is held down a little by the bass wen it switches from the sub sound... a change is def. needed but i recon it could b better.
Nice intro bro, could do with a few additions. WHOA just kicked off, beautiful bassline, love the piano riff, my kinda tune. I like the second bass synth but needs a different shape envelope (amp) to work better, doesn't quite fit for me. once everything comes in it sounds a little muddy but nothing a little touch up on the mixdown can't sort out. Lovely tune man, as usual. You're pretty consistent dude BIG UP.
PS dropped your tunes early on last saturday mate, they went down really well, started with liquid so I thought I'd give them a go. The MC's kinda ruined the second one I played but still a good reaction buddy well done.
LIke the intro, the beat sounds way louder than the piano and pads. LIke the roll and WHOA! before the drop. Love the rolling bassline. I love to put a lot of pornamento on my basslines to make them travel more. NOt digging the wobble synth. it just doesn't seem to fit. Maybe if it was an octave lower. Diggin it over all though.

I understand hehe i'll see what i can do to make the intro something of a build up instead of straight beating on the drums lol.
The wobble was a risky decision which i thought fit well. Just needs a little more beefing up i'd say.
Thanks though for the review i'll be applying some changes that were given to me here but I dont want to change too much.

Breakdown is a bit boring.
Drop2 = drop1 (more or less).
Would have liked a bit of dirty edge on the bass here and there.
Very good stuff though.
I'll have to work on a better drop for this one since both are kinda just a sudden riser with not much flavor.
Looking into getting the bass to be a bit edgier but with my knowledge and skill it's a bit difficult lol.
