I threw this track together, still needs work. I don't know if I will keep working on it, or just move on. It is under my surname: Code Name Forbis __ 13-05-2005 20:27 Sykotic Cool Producer Registration Date: 12-05-2005 Posts: 202 Helpfulness rating:  Forgot to mention, I made this track using Sonic Foundy Acid, using all downloaded samples. It is my first track for a while now (Been outa da loop). The next track I post is being made using Reason. I am currently in Iraq and do not have a whole lotta resources for producing. I hope to get some feedback on this track from some of the veterans on this site. __ 13-05-2005 21:04 broadside mentalist Registration Date: 17-01-2005 Posts: 584 Helpfulness rating:  yeah im not a veteran of the site exactly, but this is badness, i love the beats - hope you made them yourself. that get a rush sample is over used, heard that about a bit. drop at 1:55 made me jump, heavy that. as ultradark said a bit empty somewhat, i say this a lot, but i reckon a little spooky, repetive melody wouldn't gp amiss here. good tune tho bit slow though 14-05-2005 02:11 S.O.T.A. SHADOW STAR Registration Date: 13-05-2005 Posts: 477 Helpfulness rating:  I like your track it has a kind of ray keith feel to it. I like the drum switch ups and it has a nice dark quality to it. I'm feelin' it kee p up with the work Later 14-05-2005 06:43 thefunke1 Cool Producer Registration Date: 09-12-2004 Posts: 151 Helpfulness rating:  Nice intro, sets the mood for the tune, again as other tunes I've heard today, leans on the dark side. I like the drum's in the background although they get a little are a little drowned out 0:57 to 1:55, new drums brought in are quite the contrast to the previous beat, have a nice live sound to them. Tune could use a little more variation on the melody, and sample gets a little overused. Overall nice work, look forward to hearing future productions! __ www.acidplanet.com 14-05-2005 18:34 Sykotic Cool Producer Registration Date: 12-05-2005 Posts: 202 Helpfulness rating:  Thanks for the feedback. Nobody mentioned that this track is too short, I thought that was the biggest problem. Also, very important to me; the gaps of silence before the drops...do you think they are appropriately timed? Too long, too short? It is hard for me to judge because I have heard it too many times. First impression is very important on those drops. I think the first one is perfect, but the second one....maybe too short. I didn't realize how over used that voice sample is, it just seemed to work. The track was not based around that sample however, I actually added it later on. I also think the break after the second drop is way too loud. Thanks again for the reviews, I hope to get some more. Also expect another track soon. __ 16-05-2005 01:48 wreakon evol genius Registration Date: 05-10-2004 Posts: 437 Helpfulness rating:  wicked tune!! very short and only 96kb i really like the vibe.. its does seem a bit empty in places look forward to the finished version __ {{{d-_-b}}} The Patch lab - Download free vst patches, banks and kits mylamespace 16-05-2005 03:07 Paki Cool Steppa Registration Date: 03-04-2005 Posts: 248 Helpfulness rating:  Ok very dark interestin introoo Espetialy love the reverb and its dythering... Very awesome FX sounds.... Exelent vocal and very agresive basseline( exelent mastering on it the eq and the compresion are wow) Very good drums but the hihhats should be more louder i think... Very nice messy drums at 2:00min... Everything fits perfectly Nice outro.... Overall exelent track I woul rate it 10 from 10 Keep it up men 16-05-2005 14:23 cynik Cp6uja Registration Date: 15-03-2005 Posts: 5,646 Helpfulness rating:  I can't produce, my music makin PC is a mess but it's more reviews for you guys ok, lets review: there is some cool stuff here, I get your ideas, not bad! a dark chillout tune: you should definitelly finish it. yes, it's a bit short but there is no point in stretching copy/paste stuff just to get lenght. drops are ok - just maybe that second could have dropped two bars later. drums.. one of em is a whole loop for sure - I have it . otherwise cool breakage throughout it did sound to me a little empty but only after the third listening. so work on those silence parts, insert some more sounds or whatever strangely, the vocal sample didn't sound repetitive to me even after more listenings no high frequencies = from some point high in the freq-spectrum there's silence. the problem with soundquality is that when you compressed to 96kbit they got lost, I guess I can't really rate this because I can't really hear it due to the sound quality problems but you get an 8.5/10 for the track-ideas from me __ https://soundcloud.com/tsai-vidro-voves 16-05-2005 18:04 PassDa J.

I never claimed that this track was a big production or any thing... quote: I threw this track together, still needs work ... I made this track using Sonic Foundy Acid, using all downloaded samples This was just thrown together...like I said. But it inspired me to get back into producing, which I haven't put much time into for a good while because of other things going on in my life. You should elaborate on your comments, maybe explain what is "too normal". I hope you post a track sometime soon and show me how it's done. __ 17-05-2005 01:21 teknyne Producer Registration Date: 12-05-2005 Posts: 85 Helpfulness rating:  hey! thanks for checkin my tune out. likin your tune, bass is well distorted tho, drowns the drums out in places or is that just the mp3 quality? drums are very human sounding, cool. look forward to hearing more __ www.wonkee.co.uk 17-05-2005 01:59 Darkside Old-School Rolla Registration Date: 02-01-2005 Posts: 620 Helpfulness rating:  i don't really think i can rate this on anything but composition, since, having experience with sonic foundry acid myself, when ur using downloaded samples, there's not too much you can do to put your own feel into it. i think i hear clicking on the left with the last snare in ur drumloop. the beat u drop with the bass sorta sounds like roni size/dj die. i like. track is ok but definitely missing somethin in its sound. there need to be more things going on, imo. a synth stab in places. but, u kno, did what u could do for the moment, and i respect that. peace. P.S. i see a bad future for PassDa J. if he rates everyone like that. 17-05-2005 02:14 Surora23 Agressive Melodic Disorder Registration Date: 05-07-2004 Posts: 2,127 Helpfulness rating:  cool intro...techy feel...deff cool...but after that i lose intrest...as darkside said...considering the resources you used and how you put this together i cant really rate on taht.... But here is my 2 cents for what you have anyway...The reece/hoove rin teh first drop is too lo fi... drop the lo (90hz) and the mid(700hz) about 2 db and boost the hi a lil bit that should clear that up...do that with the second dorp as well... track is deffinitely really empty..i just dont know really what to say since all you basically did was sequence sounds you downloaded... __ Rinse it OUT!!!! 17-05-2005 03:40 dubcupboard Producer Registration Date: 16-05-2005 Posts: 78 Helpfulness rating:  This is a constructive but brutally honest review of your tune. The Intros good an instant attention grabber, like the early break. The synth sweeps good reminds me of the predator! The vocal concept is fine but seems to sit to hi in the mix before the 1st drop dilutin some of the impact. Good break switch follows on bass is grimey-all good. Then it breaks down and drops way too early on the flip. Nice big drums follow on, buzzin cymbals! bass then seems over-tweeked, lost its impact,it sounded grimeyer early on. Overall a good effort, apart from structual defects. On this basis Im gonna give this tune a 7 out of 10, has room for improvement and could do well. Keep it up! __ dubcupboard 17-05-2005 21:20 Greyone Master Producer Registration Date: 01-04-2005 Posts: 6,285 Helpfulness rating:  dark and verry nice , intro is ok , drop sounds very good with that distorted but so lovely bass ! Structure ain't that good , but I can definately feel the darkside of this track ( StarWars 18may in the cinema's to remind everybody) vocals a bit overused , drums are loud and clear , nice one man 18-05-2005 17:40 Sykotic Cool Producer Registration Date: 12-05-2005 Posts: 202 Helpfulness rating:  Hey, thanks to everyone who has reviewed my track. A couple of you gave some good pointers, thanx for that. I have been working on a couple of new tunes (Some heavy rollers, keepin it dark.) using Reason so expect much better sound quality in my upcoming tunes. I expect to post at least one new track by next weekend. __ 21-05-2005 05:18 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Wow, DnB from within the military, intresting Intro is quite allright. Vocal is nice, but don't overuse it! Like that sweap a lot Bassline sounds nicely gritty and the drums are nice too Second drop: nice drums man! Some rides to give them more tops would be nice though.
