goa trance intro - weird melody dont like it

vocal samples.. off time? maybe you wanted it so, anyway dont work well imo, sound somewhat random

reece job is ok, but the tune didnt appeal , personal taste. has some weird cuts, the way it enters and stops is too hard. filtering in those places would help

aw, youre a sucker for that lo-fi bass sounds, thats your style Smile

beats pumpin well, maybe add little variation in them, insert a few beat changes, different patterns etc.

I liked the part in 3:01 when the little beat got reversed after the reverse cymbal. worked well with the choir beneath

this got repetitive very fast tho, must be the repeating vox and the same changes you applied over and over..

not a bad effort but I think you can do much better

5/10

I think you had misstimed the vocals...
The melody is somehow trance.... maybe if you could work that out....
Acid basses interfere with modulation of the basses of the VST instrument....
Try to separate the frequences( ring modulation would do the work but not I`m not quite sure)
In general it is a good tune.... Intersting idea and interesting words:-)
Good sequencing.... it`s ok....
I would give it 7.5\10
Keep it up Bigup

Damn at first I thought it was an 'Infected Mushroom'-intro, but if you listen to the vocals ... WELL DONE DUDE !!!!!!!! Now this is the shit ! That's the attitude, that's what I'm talking about ... making ya own vocalsamples and using them ...

Tip : use a vocoder ... you can make the voices heavier Bigup Makes it more evil, to bad I don't understand shit, the only thing I understood was ... hilbillyboy , not true with this , I'm gonna get medieval on ya ass ... liked the last one Big Grin

Now we had the vocals .. now the sounds ... pretty evil just like the vocal ... but the secondary snares are placed very strange ( the dubbles not the main ), they fit in the song, but if you pay attention to the snares it sounds kinda odd ...

Nice kick
Don't like the intro

But now finally someone did this shit with the voices ... I must say ..

You got balls dude and therefore --> 9/10 Big Grin

prob with the vocal was the first part of the sample is spoken (almost whispered) and the second, starting from "ya hear me hillbillybwoy" is shouted..so i had to lower it to make it not go in the red too far when the 2nd part comes in.
But this is just the idea streamed out of me head into FL, so i didnt do any finetuning (yet)..
and with the vocal not being on time, if i timestretched it, it would'v e sounded as my regular voice, should've added more tone lowering in audacity in order to make it sound like it is now, but on time, fitting inside a number of pttns..

to PassDa J. gracias, and pass the pitufo con grande cojones

Is that the original pulp fiction sample or a rereading? Sounds a bit dry. Synth is big but overpowering. Snare is good but ghosts need a more subtle touch - some good elements to this one but sounds a bit much like a beat with a typical VST layered over it. Good, but needs some tweaking.

First things first - this is a wicked track! I love the heavy hitting vibe you're going for with it. There aren't many tracks that I listen to on this site that actually hit as heavy as they sound like they should. This on the other hand did!

I like the intro the arpeggiated melody really sets that track up for the heavy first drop. Maybe you could have extended it slightly upping the atmosphere & incorporating a few of the main elements as a teaser for whats to come. The choir sound also adds to the drama.

When it hits, its like a sledgehammer in the face! The drums are heavy & the reece is warm & fat. The drums are little overpowering & the reece overpowers the acid stabs but that could be sorted with a bit of EQing & maybe another mixdown. Im a sucker for acid sounds & these ones definitely hit the spot. Make them a bit more prominent & give them some stereo width & they'll definitely feel they're ripping through your brain. Big Grin

The only thing im not 100% sure about is the vocals, dont get me wrong I like your own skullfuck stuff & I think you should work on that theme maybe write some more of your own samples to go with them. but I dont think that reciting the pulp fiction quotes is they best way to go coz a: you're violating copyright and b: it doesn't sound quite right. Particularly when there is a slight hint of your accent - especially when you say 'Im gonna get medieval on your ass'

Overall this track is cool as fuck & I think if you are gonna send demos out to labels like Tech Itch then you wanna be sending stuff like this coz with a bit more work this could be a worthy demo.

7.5/10

peace

You didn't sample the movie but made the sample yourself, so you're not violating the copyright. Thanks for letting me know but there is no problem Smile


Quick review:
You need to work more with compression. The level in the vocal varies a lot, so put lots of compression on it to make the level more equal. Use a fairly low threshold (around -20dB if you normalised the sample), fairly high ratio (3:1) and a fast release time. Best is to use an analog style plugin that emulates valve or optical compression such as one of the bombfactories or something similar.

The trance line in the intro is too soft, and it's not cutting through in the rest of the track. Fix this with EQ, find a part of the frequency spectrum around 2-3kHz that sounds nice and boost it with a couple dB. Also make it more stereo, that makes it stand out more too. If the intro is too soft it's difficult for a DJ to mix it BTW.

The pad is too soft too, and not really essential imo.

The drums are well done, but add some punch to them by increasing the kick drum level a couple dBs and then putting single band compression on the entire track so it compresses up to 3dB every time the kick drum plays. The snare drum and ghosts sound really great imo, actually the sound of the whole drum kit is excellent, the sounds really fit well together. Hihats could be spread out more in stereo.

Melody lines are OK but not outstanding, there's some variation in it but not enough to keep interest for the whole track.

Bass line could be more powerful, and it's clouding the kick a bit, fix that with EQ, and by making it mono. Bass should always be mono!

Overall it needs a lot of polish, you have good ideas but it needs to be mixed better. Practice using compression and EQ, make the whole mix a bit more sparkly, the general sound is a bit dull. And make more use of the stereo spectrum.
