Please check out my new track 'Nightmares of Filling the Tub with Blood (edit 2)' and post your comments here!!!


Thanks for the feedback, We turned the drums and snare a bit and added another drum layer and put some more complex breaks in there with some ghost snares. We will also fixed the ending. A few fx were added and alot of eq was accomplished. We really appreciate the reviews and help! Z

Nice cheerful intro Big Grin .......

beats sounding ok....although their very steppy......i prefer them rolling a little more....

to be honest dude the music/atmos in your tracks is usually fairly good......i just think you need to spend more time on your beats....because they sound very programmed....they need more swing imo......apart from the beats everything else is good.....

Bass is sick at intro, again phat bass at>00:40. Put some mad snare's in there, will help to make thing's roll. That sound that hit's at>1:57, sounded like the volume jumped up a bit. 1:57>That sound need's more beef, maybe add some distortion to it and maybe a sick hoover to layer with it. Nice work ZZ.

I think homeboy nailed it right on for me. Man, I would like to say you guys always come up with some dark sinister shit, but when th ebeats drop it's like Frown . As MUNKi stated man, it would prolly be good to focus more on your breakwork, you know, maybe just have like a break session every once in a while trying to program shit that stomps and sounds like it rolls rather than step. I also think with your style, pushing shit a little harder on the volume might give your sounds a more sinister feel. You know, mash shit up more, that's what I'd like to see. So pretty much I've summed up what this track does for me. It sounds nice and dark, but the breaks are playing a major roll in the flow here. Not too bad overall, just needs more.. Bigup

Find a good low synth for the bass in FM7 or Pro 53 or what ever program you have, tweak your knobs until it sounds origional enough, then play low keys and play them lightly, then thurn the sound up alot or just until it starts to sound ruff, then turn it down a little bit. Cut the highs off of it!!! Then find a grindy synth play the keys agressivly and cut the lows at 40-90Hz however is sounds nice. Sometimes I will even cut the very highs off the synth for an added filtered effect. I wish I could just show you... Let me know if that helps at all. Thanks for the reviews! Z

I progressivly made them harder, after the first drum chop type stutter I added an extra layer so there is three drum patterns playing at the same time. In the second verse I think the synth and bass combined squashed them a little. Knownothing I need to work on my drums in all my tracks. I really appreciate the review and help! Z

Intro is - as allways in fact- very good , splendid !
drop: drum are more tight and some better than edit 1 , but their still missing some rollin' thing.
Bass is less digital , much better .
effects n pannings are cool.
Just the drums , they need much more layering and phatness and attention.
Keep up the drumwork nick ( and erina)

Loved the extra voices and FX. Great track, mate!
But sounds a little too much like most tracks.
