I personally don't like this track , it's like to boring ... Flute noise is an abused samplesynth. No firefights or amens this time It's a bit dark/melancholic/techstep ....

The one that creates the music is at the same time the most difficult critic I hear no kick no hihats no cymbals, only snares. Spice up dem drums! Atmosphere is nice enough, but you're right, it get's a bit boring, just experiment with the track, add elements, add, sounds,... ah drop, better, but still, only snares... and your drums are very mechanic/robotic. Try either to quantize or 'humanize' your drumelements. This track has a snake-charmer vibe around it, swing a pendulum in front of my nose and i'll go oozing off immediately. __ a myspace my tunes "I'm not under the alkafluence of inkahol that some thinkle peep I am.

Give them more punch and shit. As Soi said: spice em up! Basslines are quite cool, but they don't boast any bass. The sub could blend in a bit more. __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 18-08-2005 14:31 Greyone Master Producer Registration Date: 01-04-2005 Posts: 6,285 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by Surya Drums are all mid, like they're bandpassed.

I made the drums with some jungle in the back of my head , so that's why all the snares... 18-08-2005 15:58 Politix Producer Registration Date: 24-05-2005 Posts: 48 Helpfulness rating:  yo, enjoying the jungle style drum patterns in the intro and the smps in the background, however, would like to hear more kick and a tad more low end on the bass. Don't like the whistling sound at all although the kick gets much better. that whistle brings the track down tho. I agree with what you said about the song getting boring but i think if the bass got stronger you could make variations more noticable and the song would sound less repetitive. There are good things in the track tho...like the drum patterns which altho are a bit engine like are in my opinion cool. thnks 4 the listen Politix 18-08-2005 20:27 optikal_assassin |da jungle snipa| Registration Date: 18-07-2005 Posts: 582 Helpfulness rating:  yeah man, i really hope you don't mind me agreeing, but it is kinda boring. definitely just doesn't have anough impact. the flute sample, gotta go man. the breaks, well im sure you know about them, needs more overall in ya face punch. it just sounds kinda overall lifeless. i think you should get a better selection of atmosphere sounds to keep the whole track a little more busier, or a more catchy bassline melody. intro sounded ok, just when the drop came in, it didn't really make much of an impact. I think you also have alot of room to play with in the volume, just by looking at it, it looks like you still got roughly 5 or so Db of volume that is wasted. I think that kinda kills it too a bit. it's too quiet. maybe some more maximizing would have worked a treat for it. nice atempt man, but i know you can do better bro....so make it happen __ Jungle Snipa on MySpace 18-08-2005 20:53 Greyone Master Producer Registration Date: 01-04-2005 Posts: 6,285 Helpfulness rating:  yeah , this time it was like a trow up of every sample i could find. ...And posted it too soon , or maybe not , i just wanted to hear the reviews and i agree with them. Next time , i'll assure it will be better ( back to the hardstep) 18-08-2005 23:59 anf0 D CXNT Registration Date: 31-03-2005 Posts: 1,196 Helpfulness rating:  well i like boring minimal dark stuff... so this is in my taste... drums get mad around 2 min mark at that drop, which sounds pretty wikkid. mad choice in sounds, besides that whistling synth noise, not down with that too much, but doesnt ruin the tune. i like the basslines. is there a kick in there at all? i think there is. the reece is nice man, nice sound. i just rekon the synths could be much better. and maybe tweak the drums that lil bit. and the vinyl reverse thing sounds pretty sik mate. keep it up... you got the mad ideas bruz. 7/10 __ [R] CentaSpike :: Tracks 19-08-2005 01:22 Greyone Master Producer Registration Date: 01-04-2005 Posts: 6,285 Helpfulness rating:  next time it'll be much worse , really dark psyco shit ... 19-08-2005 10:37 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Tunes » greyone - Shaman Ritual
