Even though it has it's flaws, I can hear the awesome song that is waiting to be revealed Here goes : In the buildup between 1:00 and 1:20, the kick and snares play at the same time. This sounds "snapping" but also takes a lot of punch out of the kick. lower the snare volume or eq it, but it sounds off to me... I guess you are using an arpeggiotar on the main synth. In any case, this synth sounds a little stabby and scurrying behind the beat. This slows everything down, while instead it could give everything a boost and bring more drive to the song. So you could perhaps make the synth play about 50-100 ms sooner, or place a copy of the synth underneath, without the arpeggio. The guitar is awesome, it has a great chorus/reverb, but maybe it needs more variety, don't be afraid to solo Also, i think u need to tune the guitar, it's just a little bit too low and makes the whole unbalanced. The second time the choir pads kick in, they should be a little louder. Drums are ok, but they need more breaks. The slowed down beat around 4:30 is great, but this is the only variation in the pattern, as for as i can hear. Last, maybe try to fade the rain out longer? All in all, great work, hope u can use these tips... __ Seth, Lord of Chaos *** Don't ask why, ask how!*** 03-08-2005 20:07 Art.Love Producer Registration Date: 22-01-2005 Posts: 45 thanx people, it was final version, i don't work it more __ 04-08-2005 11:53 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Yeah, very annoying MP3 file, you can't skip in it Seems overcompressed, volume drops with every kick and rises quite a bit in the breakdowns... Sounds are way too trancey, melody is cheesy as fuck and I was kinda missing a decent bassline. Hmmm... I think you get my point: didn't like thisone at all... __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 05-08-2005 16:24 Diasporah Producer Registration Date: 04-08-2005 Posts: 38 Yeah ..Im not really feeling dis one...It's musically on point tho...I like the switchup towards the end with the half beats a shit...Could actually see this on a video game soundtrack or sumthin __ 10-08-2005 10:55 homosapiens Tourist Registration Date: 03-08-2005 Posts: 12 its pretty good, but the bassline is too ordinary, simple long shots, maybe if you put some distortion on the bass would help too. the melody sounds are too trance you should filter it or put it under little flanger. drums were good, nice soft, just perfect for this track, maybe they should be just a little louder. 7/10 11-08-2005 08:50 Art.Love Producer Registration Date: 22-01-2005 Posts: 45 yeah, thanx __ 20-08-2005 12:15 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Tunes » Art.Love & Eugene - Rain 2005 (Drum and bass version)
