Remastered, eq'd, and compressed. A great rolling track with a smoked out vibe. please leave comments thank you Challenja http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?PID=424050&T=8427 this is pretty damn on the point of the DNB format. Excuse the lack of epic drops, this is a rolling chill tune that flows through its entirety. __ may the lord bless and keep you! 29-11-2004 00:22 CHALLENJA Steppa Registration Date: 25-07-2004 Posts: 81 i just uploaded an MP3 version of the tune for you to download, since i got some complaints about users not being able to listen to it on WMA format ez challenja __ may the lord bless and keep you! 02-12-2004 04:13 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Where is the MP3, the WMA won't play here either... __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 03-12-2004 15:28 saphir Wicked Producer Registration Date: 15-11-2002 Posts: 299 Helpfulness rating:  nice nice nice intro! i like the footstep like gravel sound the idea/concept behind it is fat me thinks. like it very much but you should check out your mix down sir otherwise it's the mp3. but it lacks power some parts arn't very "clear" don't skip this, work it out, sounds dope allready like the repeting raves hmmm maybe just make it about 1 minute shorter somewhere. it has a floor vibe, so i would concentrate round 7 minutes only a thought, but nice work, like the vibe! __ http://soundcloud.com/saphir_gazmazk www.nitras.be 03-12-2004 17:01 CHALLENJA Steppa Registration Date: 25-07-2004 Posts: 81 the links work surya, jsut tried them, you need winamp i believe dunno try again ez james __ may the lord bless and keep you! 03-12-2004 22:59 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Sorted it out Intro seems overcompressed, the hats drop with every kick. The volume drops when the sub comes in... go easy on compression. Drums are quite OK, although a phatter snare would be nice. The vocal and the placing of them sounds a bit uninspired. The track is too long imo. It's basically a breakbeat with a deep sub and some fillers. Try making it 2 minutes shorter or something. It's too repetetive now. I'm glad you didn't stuff thisone with vocal samples as some of your other tracks 2/5 __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 13-12-2004 13:20 CHALLENJA Steppa Registration Date: 25-07-2004 Posts: 81 overcompressed? i got that from another person. what elements of the track would you say is manditory for compression? the drums and bass lines? vocals? main synth stab? opinions wanted ez challenja __ may the lord bless and keep you! 13-12-2004 13:55 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Dunno, I don't compress anything. __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 13-12-2004 14:25 CHALLENJA Steppa Registration Date: 25-07-2004 Posts: 81 all about he equing then? my boy Psycle is like that, he tries to minimaly compress things, he's all about the equing, i got toher boys who went to Omega recording studios and are all about gating and compression... any other thoughts?? __ may the lord bless and keep you! 14-12-2004 01:21 Polar Freq Hounmingootod Registration Date: 06-11-2004 Posts: 321 Helpfulness rating:  i don't like the chorus or smthn on the kick an drums at the start, and iz too long maybe the start i mean.. nice vocalz.. nice background noise i like the drop.. but it just continues the same as be4.. maybe long the whole thing?? at places two kick overlap and create a bounce that sounds to jump off everytin some places it jumpes up with good stuff, but it don't hold em' enough... i dono nice bass...and line combo... peace __ -Emotions are social illusions. -What i did not do, i could have not done. -Art is a kind of public masturbation. -I am only, my genes tool. -damjan cd i have a zen touch and muad'Dib has a girlfriend......everyones happy 14-12-2004 04:06 CHALLENJA Steppa Registration Date: 25-07-2004 Posts: 81 muchas gracias __ may the lord bless and keep you! 14-12-2004 05:27 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by CHALLENJA all about he equing then? my boy Psycle is like that, he tries to minimaly compress things, he's all about the equing, i got toher boys who went to Omega recording studios and are all about gating and compression... any other thoughts?? Well, you should EQ everything to sound as good as possible. AFTER that you can compress, but compression only won't do the trick. A bad sound still sounds just as bad after compression.
