Always good to be different tho, i praise u for that. Break on this one is great, i am a big fan of it, so good choice on that front. I recognised that synth you use, racked my brains for a while where it was off then remembered it was off total science - defcon 69. U made good use of it in ur track as well. __ NexGen / Plush / Liquid Brilliants / LDNBmusic / Ambra Paul SG - Hidden Smile (CJ Styles Remix) forthcoming Ambra 28-08-2005 20:30 Infusion Newbie Registration Date: 10-04-2005 Posts: 5 Hi, I really aprecciate it when people do their own thing. This is a groovy piece of music - The rythm of the beat works perfect, but the drum samples are not my taste - too much reverb, too accoustic. i like more "digital" drums. A real intro wouldnt hurt the track ^^ I like the variations in this track, this is definetely not a boring track ! the stab-sounds work also well. In the mom not enough for a real track, keep on working on this track, maybe a 2nd theme or something like that. Like your style, looking forward to here "finished" version. 28-08-2005 20:50 Muad'Dib Andrejnalin Registration Date: 02-12-2003 Posts: 4,197 Helpfulness rating:  Wow, I like the begining, jump up style and such... juz that snare is too weak and muddy - try adding at high freqs or layer another one on top of this one with more SHH sound. The bass has great sound but lacks rhytm and is muddy. Soundwize the tune is bad (no offence). You have nice ideas as that change in atmo at 01:25. But the sound quality sux. The hats can't be heard correctly. The ghost snares also. DEFO you need a clearance in those sounds and samples. The bass is too loud anyway... The tune starts to get a little boring... throw some string or something, add a line... you never know... And that FADE OUT ... damn, man, take it out - only lame producers use that to approve their end of the tune. If you don't know what to do for the end, just end it without any effects. Don't do FADE OUT!! Please! You have a lot to do, 3/10 __ Thinking about becoming an Image-Line/FL Studio customer? Want a 10% reduction in price?

They are higly appreciated Actually this isnt really my style.I start working on basses en drums and then I see in which directions it goes .I dont control the producerskills to make what I have in my head. The drums arent that rolling like i wanted it.Thats because nothing is filtered because i dont know how to filter and mix a drumsound About the intro : its just a clip . The tune has a real intro in the full version . Anyway , thx for reply's and keep those opinions coming ! Greets siebe ps:Some tips how i could improve the sound would be usefull.I spinned it in a youthhouse and it sounded extremely distorted hmm.... __ Stepping bass 28-08-2005 21:06 Muad'Dib Andrejnalin Registration Date: 02-12-2003 Posts: 4,197 Helpfulness rating:  Well, you can decrease the mater channel volume or put a limiter to it so that those distorsion don't appear anymore... For more clearance of the sound I suggest boosting on the high frequencies (above 10 000 Hz) but for snares boost about 7000Hz. Yeah, that would be it... __ Thinking about becoming an Image-Line/FL Studio customer? Want a 10% reduction in price?

The kickrolls upto the drop don't work: they simply don't kick. ReEQ! Drop: wobble wobble, with a strange room-kinda reverb on it. It does have it's charm, and the choirs are kinda cool too. The drums don't work though. The kick's are relly awfull and there seem to be no hats or rides. The snare's are allright though. I know you added sub, but I couldn't hear it. This track totally lacked any bass or sub, so you need more EQing there too. __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 29-08-2005 10:17 Nick ZZ Master Producer Registration Date: 29-05-2005 Posts: 960 Helpfulness rating:  The intro did not grab me or even lead me in well, if you used the main synth pattern with a diff. lighter insturment you intro would be more cohesive and lead into the drop. I like your synth after the drop, but is has either too much distortion or reverb or FX in general. The snare has too much reverb. I found an article a few days ago that might help you with FX and reverb, most of the time when you effect a sound less is best, and less reverb is a plus. Hope I helped a little.
