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


Ok, when are tracks ready? Sometimes i know, sometimes i don't.
I'm regularly pickin this one up to continually change it, as in musical changes, as in learning how to use different eq-settings.
I tried it on different home systems, and it sounded a bit ok.
but sometimes i know, sometimes i don't.
so hit me with comments.

techy stuff: reason 2.5 + logic (bounced it to 4 tracks (1:kick+snare, 2:loops, 3:bas and 4:the rest) to further eq.
did my best to 'master'/maximize it in wavelab.

edit: along the way, k-nine helped me in sickening this one up..

and last but not least, enjoy..

Man, I'm likin' this one alot. Good production on the whole track. Good intro man, you got some good sounds a in there too. Nice drop, came in just right. The breaks are hittin right too. The really ain't much i can bitch about man, this track has quality all over it. Good bass too man, hits right on the spot. Edits on the breaks are nice with variety. Unfortunately I don't have the proper system with me now to give this a full blown eq analysis, but everything sounds damn good on what I got and as far as eq goes I'm no pro yet, but I know a good thing when I hear it. An easy 10 for this number Bigup big upz for the noise.

Mad soundin bongo's at the intro. 2:11 big up on the phat off beat's. I do have a good system and thing's are hummin beutifully, sick production! Pleased Layered drum's at 1:27>done to a tee. There's so much depth to your track and let me tell ya, "it's all put together perfectly" 4:15>mad bongo's again! 5:00> crazy snare's. That's what I love about your track, sooo much detial Bigup !!! Yup this is a winner. 10/10 from me for shure. Very impressive Soi! Nice work! My ear's are cryin for more!

What's up Soi !
Allrigh gonna check it out ...
Intro starts nice 'n dark , cool vocal thing...
Shocked wow now allready i hear the magnificant sound quality , and all the fx you've added. Need a lot of work , i know.
Mean basses , many different sounds .
Not a big fan of that rave sound.
Like the variation of the overall.
I reckon such track takes a lot of time and a huge effort.
Anyway , I like the track.
Keep them postin' !

OOOOoooo, Mooody.
Starts off nicely, I like the percusion, sounds like gamalan from a Bruce Lee film fight scene.
The mix is good, but I dont really like the reverb on the drums, Some of the tweaks are cool but there was a couple of times where they seemd a little messy. The bass line is good, sounds like something Evol Intent use alot, are they an influence?
Not to sure about the ocasional synthy bit, especially the atonal parts.
I do like the drums though, all the little bits of percusion keep the beat flowing niecly. My only real critisim is the lack of any real movement or emotion in the tune, It builds up then it drops, then it breaksdown a bit, then it builds up then it drops again. Both times it drops sound really similar and, although its only my personal opinion, but I do prefer tunes where there is a fairly big change in dynamic or tonality. I also like a tune to convey some sort of emotion or vibe. This is the same as a lot of Evol, in the way that it nice and heavy but lacks any real depth or atmosphere.
In terms of the mix I cant hear anything wrong and everything sounds nice and balenced. One thing though, rather than bouncing your tune to a wave editor, use the multi-pressor and ad limiter in logic, as i find these are a lot easier to use and get really good reasults.

Lovin the drums Smile

Drop: nice one.

Like the track a lot mate, Bigup

Would have done some of the EQing differently though and I guess I'd have used a few more reeces Tongue

well with a name like crackhouse i knew this would be a lighthearted affair.

i like the atmos its very sinister..but dude the reverb makes the drums sound crap, it gives them a distant sound.......and its a pity cause the b line is heavy....

good structure, production seems good....but lose the verb on the drums pleeeeeeassssseeeee. and maybe trun them up a little.....you get 7/10 from me.....at least until the reverb issue is sorted. imo it just needs some heavy heavy crunchy beats.

Just gave this another listen and what a beast it is!! Didn't hear any reverb eccept on the mad bongo's and that sound's fantastic imo. Sound quality is beutifull man Bigup Nice work puttin all those sound's together, they all seem compliment each other really well. you really have a good ear for what sound's work well together, this is one hell of a track man. Bigup

im not talking a huge big hall or plate verb.......but theres is definatly some going on with the beats.....personally i dont like reverb on my beats unless im making some dj shadow style downbeat....

check it when the beat comes in at 1min 16sec.....and the kick at 1min 28 is definately reverbed.......yknow its personal taste...but i would have stuck an almost distorted percussive kick in there....something really raw like a bashment/ragga kick...... and would have made the 1min 16 second bit a bit more crisper sounding....

alien speak in the intro: mental, man. totally insane atmosphere there

I dont get the reverb issue either, but I get what munki thought with the crunchier/ dirtier beats. dunno, these work good for me so..

nice sounds here for sure, oh here comes aliens again in 4:10 sending shivers up my spine

not exactly a stormer but a cool inteligent track with a real character to it. what I ment to say all of this sounds well together and nothing stands out being useless or just mindlesly just put there

but nothing stands out in positive sense tho it's a bit sterile, er, to programmed, not enough ususpecting moments or such, well except for the voice samples, but that could well be personal taste..

so alltogether a great track soi
