Please check out my new track 'DarkForNow' and post your comments here!!!


As some people asked for a more recent track from me, this is my New Year's present to all you people here! You welcomed me warmly, so i'm giving you the track that i like the most (from myself) Smile It's not my last track, my last track was much much worse than this, this came before the last track Big Grin Was using FLS4.5.1 for this thing, few plugins. Took me around a month to complete it.

Hope ya'll enjoi it, peace Big Grin

Edit: Don't listen on high volume, the track gets fucked up that way Huh Listen on med and not in headphones, cuz i dunno what it sounds like in headphones Big Grin Big Grin

a month to complete...a little long yea? anyway here we go...

Good intro i like the melody on that...drums come in....the kick is good but it doesnt sound right....

woah....either your eq's are wayyyyyy off or you are using hella reverb and taking out all the hi end.......

i like the idea behind the track, and the structure is decent, but the drums sound absolutely horrible...not in structue of the programming but theyre really mudded out...nothing sounds crisp at all...and it may be cause of a poor quality of the track...but still it needs work...

you have some liquid sounds coming in...those are cool and the break is cool...but again those drums and everything else sound horrible...i cant even make out the notes really for the bassline/reece cause everythign is so mudded...

Good effort but it needs a LOT of work

2.5/track
1/levels

1 month for me is NOT long, it's quite normal in fact. My shortest track was made in 5 days, longest is in progress now (2nd month).

Weird, but i for myself find the beats pretty good, including the sounds, though i agree on changing the kick a bit :x

1 day, and i have put together decent tracks, using fl for over 5 years now also.
you use head phones for mixing don't you?
i like this drum and bass noize. it's my style of music.Rinse
the lead precussion with the delay on it, try to make it strech out a bit to make it sound out more and fade it in like that.
if you did that break all in fl, that's a hella feat too, i can't.
you need some atmoshperic whispers.
the rest you got down pack, and that pad way okay, bit chese after.
cool ending.
good song. i defiantly would like to hear more of you stuff, you put effort into it and it shows.

the beats are incrediable.

yo bro,

at first for the ears cut high on the snare-drum. basses are cool but are too loud for the rest not too much. hats sound bit dull too.there is too much volume difference between the hard and soft parts. maybe a bit too much reverb on that one bass. the sound on the background the high sybth should be more into. use limiters compressors and eq the whole bazaar. if nicely taken care of it could be great mate.
2/5 for the balls

cheers

Thanks for the comments dudez, the beats were made in fl, yes, i make everything in fl. Sometimes edit with sound recorder (LOL), but heh..

I never make music in headphones. This track should be listened on around med volume, definetely not high, because the bass begins to poop cuz of low quality (sorry again), i found out that i was making music for the past half a year at 22 hz :E And now i just switched to 44, and everything sounds so much clearer. I didn't put any reverb on the bass, this bass is from the fm7 plugin, somewhere there.

Thanks for the comments, keep 'em comin'! Big Grin

yo
not my style i can't be objective but for me it's a little bit too fast, there is a probleme of eq isn't it ? sounds aren't clear enough and bass + melody are higher than rythm so i don't understand well the track in its totality.
peace

Really great opening sound - which vst is that? When the drums come in, the hi hats are a bit awkward, starting and stopping. And the spastic little thing at 1:00 doesn't quite work. However, the sound that comes in at 1:23 is crazy dark! I can tell lots of thought went into the loud/quiet transitions, but you aren't going to find to many listeners keen on that. Cool sounds at 2:35. The whole dark and dreamy end to the tune is very cool though. Some heavier drums are needed to compliment that crazy bass. Like the drop out at about 3:30 - very cool. The stop at 4:10 is awkward. Some cool experimental stuff here - a bit along the lines of half-price but darker. I'll tuning in for later stuff. Thanks again for your reviews.

Oki, thanks Nosrac. I've been away for the past week or so because of a few pc problems. I doubt i will be able to review upload any tracks soon because my connection is something worse thank dial-up. I just can't wait 2 hours for a 5 mb file. Cry lolz This is the style i'm in love with and i would start doing more if i could, i just don't have the feel of things to make better melodies, i'll try working on that though :>

Intro is OK, but not that intresting. I suggest doing the whole melody up one octave.

Drums are sequenced nicely, but sound a bit... not that good. A bit distorted and too thin. Try layering a snare with more punch, and one with more snap.

Once it drops heavyer with the reece, the drums are overpowered by the pads and bassline

The trancey sound doesn't fit that well imo. Anyway, try giving it more depth with a nicely done stereo delay and a bit more reverb.

I would say: ignore everything I said and just make your nex tune, coz thisone just isn't very intresting.

1.75/5 for the track
1.5/5 for the sound

liking the style, dark and fast. Always good. This would be soooo good if it didnt sound so bad. The sound is cool till about 1:24 when the bass line kicks in. Just sounds like a lot of white noise with a synth underneath. Apart from the sound, the bass line is pretty good. At 4:31 - 4:59, i couldn't really make out the bass, it sounds like a really distorted synth but i couldn't make out any of the notes.
If this was clearer it would get a 3/5 but its gonna have to be 1.5/5 just for the sound!!
