IM really proud of this one. I took some time off to give myself some perspective. And i think it helped... Thanks a lot for the tips ive already started reworking this one. __ charleskoncept 13-12-2004 05:07 stickbubbly mad man Registration Date: 16-09-2004 Posts: 377 Helpfulness rating:  nice track. bit slow. has an older feel to it. the amens that come in half way through the song sound a bit muffled...could be too many fiters, bad sample, or you might have cut too much highs off them. other than that the track is cool. Some nice dark sounds. 14-12-2004 03:44 charleskoncept Wicked Producer Registration Date: 29-09-2004 Posts: 318 Helpfulness rating:  ^^^^i think i might have compressed em too much... this is really the first track ive made with reason... and i was playing with the send effects on the mixing board.... think i might have overdone it.. thanks for the review man.. peace.... __ charleskoncept 14-12-2004 10:34 marisol Steppa Registration Date: 23-09-2004 Posts: 279 Helpfulness rating:  good work man. maybe try and something to respond to the bass hits. on the amen you might get some good results by using a gate compressor on em. keep tearin this one up. still needs some work to keep it rollin but your on the right path. 14-12-2004 12:49 Soi Super Moderator Registration Date: 29-01-2003 Posts: 1,417 Helpfulness rating:  Your drumloops are ok (samurai & klanga), some nice editing going on there, but (especially in the beginning) they tend to suffer some ducking volumes/gains. Bass could use some substantial work. Soundscapes/fx are nice. But maybe you could try and find a good balance between the soundscapes/drums in order to give the song a more natural feeling? __ a myspace my tunes "I'm not under the alkafluence of inkahol that some thinkle peep I am.

(imo) best things to pan are the little snare bouces in drums, don't "overpan" them cuz then your drums sound prolly too wide. it also give more room for your kicks & snares. layer kicks & snare to an individual layer and eq/compress them till they fit the bass. good work till now, keep this alive! __ http://soundcloud.com/saphir_gazmazk www.nitras.be 14-12-2004 13:41 charleskoncept Wicked Producer Registration Date: 29-09-2004 Posts: 318 Helpfulness rating:  one question for the reason users out there? or anyone familiar with the program? can i use the rex beat slicer to compress individual hits in there or do i need to sample themn out and use the nnxt or nn19(?) i think those are the ones? oeace and thanks for all the reviews its very encouraging.... __ charleskoncept 14-12-2004 23:01 saphir Wicked Producer Registration Date: 15-11-2002 Posts: 299 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by charleskoncept one question for the reason users out there? or anyone familiar with the program? can i use the rex beat slicer to compress individual hits in there or do i need to sample themn out and use the nnxt or nn19(?) i think those are the ones? oeace and thanks for all the reviews its very encouraging.... best thing to do is to open them through the patch window in the nn-xt. there you can load the rex as a whole file , leaving it's slices where they where. as you know, each sample.slice becomes accessible for further tweaking and twisting it's joy!!!!! __ http://soundcloud.com/saphir_gazmazk www.nitras.be 14-12-2004 23:16 charleskoncept Wicked Producer Registration Date: 29-09-2004 Posts: 318 Helpfulness rating:  ^^^ok now my nest question what about all the work i did with the placement,layering with the other break, whatnot that i already have? will it replace it automatically or will i have to do it all again?

Try making that filtered bassline just that bit rougher and dirtyer! Overall, quite nice basis, but the sound is horrible. The drums need a boost and need to fill the frequency spectrum more, especially the hi-end! 2/5 for the track 1/5 for the sound. __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 17-12-2004 20:39 charleskoncept Wicked Producer Registration Date: 29-09-2004 Posts: 318 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by Surya Indeed, drums need a boost and a bit more punch.

Anyone know about mastering in reason or do i have to take it to another program>? if so which one would you recommend.... oeace __ charleskoncept 17-12-2004 23:19 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Mastering in Reason works just the same as in any other program: miticulously EQ everything to sound at it's best and sounds perfectly in combination with the other sounds, and then adjust the levels on the mixer to finetune everything... That's how I do it. Than I export it to wave and use the Hard Limiter in Adobe Audition (=Cool Edit Pro) to boost the volume a bit. __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 17-12-2004 23:31 charleskoncept Wicked Producer Registration Date: 29-09-2004 Posts: 318 Helpfulness rating:  ^^^ damn well i guess i need to find me cool edit somewhere.. i take it its not free? __ charleskoncept 17-12-2004 23:36 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Nope, but you can try a trial version. But it doesn't improve the soundquality, it only boosts the volume. __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 17-12-2004 23:43 charleskoncept Wicked Producer Registration Date: 29-09-2004 Posts: 318 Helpfulness rating:  Adobe audition and cool edit pro? sam thing i didnt really understand that part of your post., peace.. __ charleskoncept 18-12-2004 00:00 Pages (2): [1] 2 next » drumnbass.be forum » Production » Tunes » charleskoncept - destroy and seek pt1
