Clever track, very synthy, good use of melodie, maybe an alternative in the bassline. Maybe add some ruff ups sounds, maybe rumbles or gunshots (jus an example) Repect! 4/5 22-11-2004 20:48 stickbubbly mad man Registration Date: 16-09-2004 Posts: 377 Helpfulness rating:  I can feel the pendulum influence in this one. Its a good melodie. I think it needs more atmospher. Some more effects and samples to fill it up. The sub is good but it could be tighter. dont like the melodie after the second drop. drums are nice. nice track! 23-11-2004 00:05 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by djhixxx think you need new ears mate, sorry No he doesn't.

Drop: works. Basslines are quite nice and switching is quite good too. The others are right about the Pendulum influences: you can clearly hear them, but this is not at dence as their tracks. Drums: not too fond of the snare. A bit static too. And boost your kick a bit to make it kick a bit more. (+- 80hz) Breakdown is a bit too long. Second drop is a bit empty. I guess you're missing a sub there. The track is too long though. This should be like 5 to 6.5 minutes, not 8. Tighten it up a bit. Recording clips a bit Not bad, but needs filling up and more variation to the drums. 3/5 __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 23-11-2004 14:18 mnemonix Newbie Registration Date: 24-10-2004 Posts: 7 Good track! But a bit too quiet!!! Quality bad is a pity! And that would throw off it to itself, in the collection tracks! 23-11-2004 15:26 marisol Steppa Registration Date: 23-09-2004 Posts: 279 Helpfulness rating:  good bassline but your snare needs some of the release cut out of it maybe make the first of the 2 a little short to give it some syncopation. you got some digital clipping goin on so i can see how the low quality mp3 wouldnt sound different. good track but it needs some more tuning and dont be afraid to throw some fiter modulation over the bline it would help it carry along. 23-11-2004 16:44 djhixxx Steppa Registration Date: 30-05-2004 Posts: 88 Helpfulness rating:  new version of the track coming up soon sorry for snappin earlier in the thread i was having a real bad day __ I THINK YOU UNDERESTIMATE ME JEEVES, FETCH MY COAT AND GRAPPLE HOOK!!!! 24-11-2004 14:18 Glim Stuck In The Late Nineties Registration Date: 16-10-2004 Posts: 1,848 Helpfulness rating:  i cant say much apart from this track is very good the 4-note b-line could get a tiny repetitive in my books but the production on it compared to my setup speakes volumes good shit, keep rinsin Laterz G __ My Sounds 24-11-2004 18:41 djhixxx Steppa Registration Date: 30-05-2004 Posts: 88 Helpfulness rating:  thanks guys, got the dark remix coming your way very soon, and finished version of black christmas although a bit late, lol. __ I THINK YOU UNDERESTIMATE ME JEEVES, FETCH MY COAT AND GRAPPLE HOOK!!!! 26-12-2004 00:46 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Tunes » djhixxx - Not the Solution (lower quality) 112kbps
