So it's been a very long time since i've posted here on .be and I do miss it. Here's a winter vibe I worked on last night. Still a rough draft since i feel like i've missed a few elements. Hope you guys like it! Jan 20-09-2011 19:01 gnyse Newbie Registration Date: 20-08-2011 Posts: 6 Helpfulness rating:  Hello there amptek .I really enjoyed listening to this track. I liked the sub bass which was pretty much a perfect foundation to the rest of the beat. The piano was a great pick for an instrument I never really thought of before. Its nice and simple and doesn't collide with the pad-which makes it sound clear and roomy.The instrument with the ping pong delay gives it dynamics too. The kick is really clear! I always have trouble with trying to make a kick nice and crisp. The shakers fit good too. There isn't much I can find to whine about for this one. It just gives me energy. 20-09-2011 22:44 BattleDrone 2161... the future.

The sweeping sound should have a tad more hi end. Mixdown needs work to give it all the right spot and strength. But with some work this could be really good. __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 20-09-2011 22:59 amptek Jan Amparo Registration Date: 04-08-2010 Posts: 148 Helpfulness rating:  Gynse, I appreciate the kind words! A lot of it is just by ear and leveling out each instrument/drum to fit the mix. With practice you'll get there my friend. Battledrone, always appreciate your advice and feedback. You're right the piano does sound too sampled which i'll fix later when i get a chance. I did notice those sweeps being a bit on the low end and will fix as well. Appreciate it !

Also it seems like you just systematically add another different sound every break but its only for 15 seconds or so then it drops off, maybe if you kept it in a bit longer or brought it another one when the other fades out it could add a bit more interest. Overall though enjoyed listening to it good work 21-09-2011 18:47 recon47 Recon Registration Date: 05-01-2009 Posts: 169 Helpfulness rating:  Nice vibe to this mate. Drums have got a sort of crunchiness to them. Intro for me could do with a bit more, some more but subtle build to it. Piano is missing some sparkle to the top end and i think with this type of lick you could bring it forward a touch. A bit too long for me mate you could shave 2 mins off this as it gets a bit too repetitive. Nice track tho, structure and mix are pretty good man. Thanks for the feedback on my tune Upload mate. Cheers 21-09-2011 19:35 amptek Jan Amparo Registration Date: 04-08-2010 Posts: 148 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by recon47 Nice vibe to this mate.

Cheers Thanks recon! Yeah i've gotten a few tips and advice on the piano as well. 6 mins yes i know is too long. For some reason I was thinking like a DJ and wanted the tune to be mixable but I could save 2 mins by shortening it up a bit. I'll do that once i get a chance 21-09-2011 19:47 Rythor1 D.R.U.

Nice track man. 23-09-2011 02:32 amptek Jan Amparo Registration Date: 04-08-2010 Posts: 148 Helpfulness rating:  Thanks a lot man! Working on it still to be a bit to keep it flowing and not so repetitive 23-09-2011 23:34 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Quite well made, but one small detail: your chords or samples sound slightly out of tune and that annoyed the heck out of me. I do think your melody is too short and repetitive to carry a whole track, it gets samey quite fast. __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 24-09-2011 12:44 Blunt:30 In love with DnB since '95 Registration Date: 22-09-2011 Posts: 12 5 shades of badass. If you tweek it further, I would love to hear the end result. Thanks. Personally, I like freestyle once or twice a week to DnB (alone). I jotted a lil rhyme down and it made me smile. Cheers.

Intro Loop takes a funny turn when you introduce the second kick and snare tho? Almost doesn't flow as well. Lovely sub man, got a real old skool greg packer feel to it,bit on the loud side. nice dreamy samples. I'd play this. Sort me a copy Jan! Nice job 03-10-2011 20:27 Spectral Pace Cool Producer Registration Date: 19-09-2009 Posts: 219 Helpfulness rating:  Nice vibe from start. Like the percussion section. Nice mellow roller. Needs a bit more going on to really flesh it out. Good idea though. All the best. 09-10-2011 19:14 Dub Bananez Dub Bananez Registration Date: 06-10-2010 Posts: 394 Great mixdown!!! Could tell the mixdown was solid after 3 sec. The pad fx sample might sound better with a tad of delay. Love the drumz and all the sounds used. Very good tune!
