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

Written on a Apple Mac G5 with Logic 7 and a Yamaha O1X. Quite trippy, released last august on Blyte Recordings (BR01A).
Hope you like it.

ok-your equipment is heavy (g5,logic 7...... Huh )

i think the intro is too empty.only 1 synth- i´d add some sounds and fx...
i like the voice and the sounds at 1.51 ...

good production,but not "my dnb style" . it´s like acid dnb.....

intro is dull and plain to be honest mate... put some more in it... or replace the sounds... but from 2:00+ this tune sounds good... bassline adds a lot to the track along with the extra synths running in the background.. ye i like it.... but the choice of sounds towards the end is off in my opinion... try something like a wavy sound to run in the background to replace that trancey sound towards the end..
nice one anyways

From the listen I had of Mystikal I know you can pull off a decent intro... The vocal is a plesant sounding female voice, and PURPLE? Shocked
Maybe a little bass is what this track needs more of. Hey it might be these cheap monitors here at work... I don't know. 9/10 Z

Thanks people.
First thing i have to say is that the intro isnt the important thing with this tune, Ive become a firm believer that the intro of a D'n'B tune should really have no relavence to the tune as it will be used for mixing anywaym thats why its very bland and boring at the start, the tune really starts at the breakdown. And carrys on from there.
Yer the vocals are by my girlfriend and her mate! i asked them to talk about something random and that what they came up with! lol
Fits in with the tune well.

Anyway keep the feedback coming.

Hah! something, I think I have had a few tracks titled that.
OK, synth at start is a little weak. There are some bad drum
edits at intro. Funny samples. Good change-up where she says
"did you touch it?" Sounds like a lot of looping going on here...kind of a
droning feel. Kind of boring for my taste. But not a bad
attempt.

How about Goa DnB? Big Grin

Indeed, not bad as a tune, but the bass is seriously lacking.

The vocals are a bit overused too...

The intro sounds a lil' strange man, empty too ... lonely synth ...
The drum-line is pretty empty too and what's up with the cracks in the beginning ... It's a cool voice-sample you got there but you could have done a lot more with it ... the second time the drumz come in it's to empty .. just a simple hihat ... nice trancy shit though ..

I don't really like this kind of d'n'b it's to quiet for me and too empty ..

5/10 throw some running hats inthere and a catchy tune to make the song attractive and active cause it really doesn't have a special feature and gets really boring after a while ... good luck on the next one Wink
