Some really nice effects going on there. I like the way the vocals come in and the falling bass is awesome. The hip hop beat intro is.. hmmm.. I'm not sure about it really! I think you built the intro up really well, but the hip hop intro kind of took the peak off. Maybe if you would've placed the vocals just after the intro...Then added a moment of silence (on one of the last words said)...and then a COMPLETE DROP! I do however like the main beats! Again very good quality, well mixed down. I like the dark aspect of it (I love the darkside!) and think overall its a well done man Keep it up...ROCK ON hehe __ -Madne$$- 07-10-2005 22:20 cynik Cp6uja Registration Date: 15-03-2005 Posts: 5,646 Helpfulness rating:  -thanks man, yeah Im thinking myself to cahnge that first slower beat too. cheers for checking this out come on people, give your say I know this needs correction.. __ https://soundcloud.com/tsai-vidro-voves 09-10-2005 19:40 Steyaert Producer Registration Date: 29-06-2005 Posts: 76 Helpfulness rating:  Starts nice, a bit spooky. nice melody build, good effecting on that. I'm curious of the drop. There are the hats. Now kick in ... ah a vocal, nice bass there. Nice jungle beat. ah there's the beat, nice and powerfull, like it. good basslines. could use some mid layering (the basses). Nice ambient, a bit louder wouldn't harm 'cause the melody is pretty good. Nice breaks. Your track has deffintly got the power. yeah, Like that auto-wah at 4.17. Use it some more! there's another build, ... ah, it's the end. hmm. I would rework the end a bit, it looks more like a build for another hard part. Anyway, very nice track man, I like it a lot. didn't hear the first revision but this one's deffintly allright, I'ld give it an 8.5/10 __ Steyaert a.k.a.

Great tune, very industrial sound. Drums are great, love the bass lines. Synth atmosphere at 2:43 is nice, dark and heavy and carries the tune well. Vocal samples are great. Very nice track, a little dark and heavy for my taste. __ www.acidplanet.com 10-10-2005 00:41 anf0 D CXNT Registration Date: 31-03-2005 Posts: 1,196 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by equipped something like Evol's "Currupt Cop's" vocal's would be a nice touch,..Still don't know how the fuck they do that myself lots of cuts n edits n filtering n pitchn... and whateva sounds good. they just use a little sample n fuck with it. id rather get all the arrangment down pat. anyhoo onto Cyniks tune... intro is nice n trippin, nice use of effects and atmosphere. nice reverb n shit also. nice bass teasin... vocals are cool. really like the basslines... although they may need a lil bit of eq work.. to balance out with everything else.... drums are nice... could do with more hats n cymbals from the drop, unless u is builiding them. yeah does have a nice industrial sound about it. nice use of effects n shit. nice break down... the beats n atmosphere sound good together. yeah bass n synths are sweet. could probably do with some extra percussion to fill it out. but othr then that id say this bitch is sweeet. keep up the awesome work. its all about getting the phat sound... n u is really close. __ [R] CentaSpike :: Tracks 10-10-2005 04:08 cynik Cp6uja Registration Date: 15-03-2005 Posts: 5,646 Helpfulness rating:  cheers, glad you liked it @equipped: are you sure on the compression thing. I used a tad volume maximizing.. idea of vocal editing is cool, I just wanted to do a mixodown cause in my case it would take ages to get right, im not to skilled in that area @anfo D: get ya what you mean (percussions, mid-range on bass), will try thos out @all: thanks for reviews so far doodes __ https://soundcloud.com/tsai-vidro-voves 10-10-2005 19:20 S.O.T.A. SHADOW STAR Registration Date: 13-05-2005 Posts: 477 Helpfulness rating:  Cool intro noises. That sample is ill. The hip hop beat is nice how it speeds up into a dnb beat. Sounds like it would be cool to mix. Lots of nice eefecting going on. Around 2:30 sounds like it should be the intro all before it I mean. It feels like it needs to elaborate the bassline at that point you know crazier. It sounds like it's waiting to drop. Good stuff though 11-10-2005 20:09 cynik Cp6uja Registration Date: 15-03-2005 Posts: 5,646 Helpfulness rating:  yeah, I know..

Drop is kicking hard , lovely techstep. sub blows amazingly through my headphone. shit this sounds so great , it's deffenitly much bettr than previous. Maybe adding some high pitched reeces at the end of a bar would be nice. nice one. 8.5/10 15-10-2005 14:56 cynik Cp6uja Registration Date: 15-03-2005 Posts: 5,646 Helpfulness rating:  thanks you two broadside, you brought up what's going round my head too about this one, not being memorable.. Ill deffinitely stop working this and maybe use parts as setups etc.. thanks for the tips everyone __ https://soundcloud.com/tsai-vidro-voves 16-10-2005 17:35 Nick ZZ Master Producer Registration Date: 29-05-2005 Posts: 960 Helpfulness rating:  Intro: Spooky made at a good length and the vocals are good! Build: you seemed a little shy on the build... Drop: maybe have the bass in the intro with a diff EQ and layer the drums a little more on the drop. Atmo: atmosphere and the melody is very good, def set the mood properly. Vocals : the vocals are good and dark. 8/10 Z __ Nick & Erina Z http://www.beatbiz.net/artist.php?USERID=493 17-10-2005 10:12 Rudeone love & light Registration Date: 15-10-2005 Posts: 926 Helpfulness rating:  oh the intro is very well done. great fx great vibes great vocal. but i'Ve expected more for the mainpart though. there was no drop at all. the main part is just too empy imo. you should insert some element which gives it drive. and layer something over your drums. intro rocks, mainpart does not :'( ezZ __ MySpace 17-10-2005 13:10 cynik Cp6uja Registration Date: 15-03-2005 Posts: 5,646 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by Rude:one oh the intro is very well done. great fx great vibes great vocal. but i'Ve expected more for the mainpart though. there was no drop at all. the main part is just too empy imo. you should insert some element which gives it drive. and layer something over your drums. intro rocks, mainpart does not :'( ezZ cheers for the review..

Kinda sounds like something from the Amon Tobin splinter cell soundtrack. The thing in the delay is a little loud/high frequencies. Nice sample and the bass sounds nice too, nicely done. Drop sucks though, just happens and I was left feeling pretty disapointed. What it drops into is alright, but nothing compared to the intro, which is a real shame. The bass sounds really good but the drums arent great and it all sounds a little empty. I can see the kinda vibe your going for and its a lot clearer in the second section, but I dont think it works well with the intro. There are a lot of nice ambient noises going on and all the bits of bass here and there are cool too. The drums get a little repertitive. I also think the snare sounds a little flabby and the kick doesnt quite sit right. All in all this is a cool track let down by a really weak drop, its a shame because the intro builds up so well! The main section is nice but felt a bit too sparse after the into. I also think that a little more variation after its dropped would be cool too, once the tune had got going it never seemed to go anywhere. This said, I do really like the vibe in this tune, brooding and uncomfortable and you've done really well at keeping the momentum going against the counterpoint of some of the slower atmospheric noises. Really well produced, really nice sounds, and a cool intro and main section. Its just the bit in between them which lets it all down. 23-01-2006 15:01 BattleDrone 2161... the future.

It must have taken quite while to get it to this level. But all in all I find it a bit 'empty' sounding though. (especially around 2'). Maybe I'm focussing too much on the sick stuff that I expect everyone to make these tunes __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 23-01-2006 17:24 cynik Cp6uja Registration Date: 15-03-2005 Posts: 5,646 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by TechDiff OOHhh nice intro noises.
