Please check out my new track 'The Threat (back to the Rude amen...)' and post your comments here!!!

I noticed that all my previous tracks sucked because I was using the wrong drumloops.. I mean, I was using my own drumloops... So I started makin' a track with amens... added a piano... and pads... anyway... The rest is up to your ears. Tell me what you think about this sweet-ass track, alright?
Greetz, Rude (I'll try to replace the amen as soon as I made the right break)

There's nothing wrong with using your own drum loop's. Looping & layering the amen's will certianly give you a better understanding of the whole beat juggling thing. Eventually you will gain choice skillz and will shurley start looping & layering all kind's of beatz & breakz. Try putting some snip's from your own loop's on top, this will build a deep and unique home made drum loop that will be your own. Pleased

Great work, like your style. Cheers. Big Grin

well, the piano was cool.. untill it got twice the speed. didnt like that

enters amen. oooh really thin man! thicken it up, replay it if needed, then eq those levels. kik & snare needs broader frequency array imo

the difference is easily noticed, since the piano sound has a nice feel and the amen is so flat - not much dynamics

as usual, not a complete track too, you spend so little time on your traks, man.

give into it, give it some depth

peace

I'm not such a 'Piano-Lover' but the intro is quit allright, asspecially when the shit starts to get HOT, damn what a good intro for an amazing good song ...

I like it, maybe the intro is a litlle to long, but who gives a crap anyway ...

I don't mean to sound harsh.. But that was pretty shite. It's an alright start but you're intro could do with being a fair bit shorter.. or being more varied. Could do with some layering of synths etc. I'm not digging the piano sound, but i like the melody... except when it goes fast. It just doesn't sound quite right. When it comes to the drums.. good one for using the amen loop but you should really cut it up and mess it about.. basically use it as a drum kit instead of just a loop. Juggle it about and stuff. Hope I've been of some help.

I dont really recognize the matrix influence (the artist, not the movie Wink

), but who cares anyway.
Ok, your intro is pretty good, although the pad needs to be louder. I thought it was a little too long too, because there wasn't really happening anything. Also, the piano itself sounds kind of dull... Especially on the low keys. It also could use some more variation (the same loop over and over again is getting really tiresome Tongue

)
Ok, the next thing: the amen. I expected it to be louder when it dropped, but it did sound real thin, like cynik said. You should add some one-shot samples to it.
I dont like the fast piano too btw. It sounds very loop-like if you know what i mean. (listen to 'dj shadow - building steam with a grain of salt' for a great use on piano.
Also the sub you are using is kinda lame, it's just this one note and that seems to be it, sorry to say but i find it really uninteresting...
Err, well that's kinda it I guess... I agree with cynic completely, about finishing your tracks etc.
Oh one more thing: when you drop it, make sure it's not only the drums that drop in. For example, you could delete the piano at the drop or something.
Anyway, you are making progress nontheless (the intro was pretty good after all), but you still have a long way to go my friend Pleased

dude I rearranged the loop man, go check out the "breaks" samplepack and listen to one of the firefights, it should be the tramen break I use for making this break

melody is cool but it gets anoying. you should let it break for a few frames,then bring it it back.

piano sounds nice, low key sounds too loud.

amens are a bit thin.

levels need a bit more attention

pads fit well

nice track, but needs more layers

cheers

Ok... granted you've cut it a little bit. But you're still looping the same thing over and over. I more meant juggle it throughout the tune to hold peoples interest. Sorry for not being clear about that.

Hi I haven't reviewed any of your tracks yet so here we go-I don't know man the begining sounds like a bad horror movie. The playing of that one key is kind of annoying. 1: 50 to get to the beat thats a long time with no drums how are you supposed to mix it? So what part is actually the drop I like yor amens does kind of the same thing over and over. I don't know I guess it kind of grows on you. Sounds like some bass commin in. I like the slow amens that sounds cool. What drop was that? It's not really my kind of track usually prefer tracks for mixing. It's alright. Confused

but I like to Dance

he he he
COOL

Dramatic intro, great Smile

The piano could use a slightly higher attack though.

Drums coming in. A good amen loop, but the kick lacks power. Layering this the keyword to spicing it up!

The sub is very flat and constant and very unalive.

Better than your previous ones, but not very good yet.

Oh yeah, apart from the drums you've got very little DnB elements in thisone Wink
