first listen

nice ambiance. kinda surprised by the birds chirping, and even more surprised by the deep synth growl. this all goes together well tho. not my flavour, but i can feel the vibe. the drop was kinda tame. i had to strain my ears to notice that was a bassline and not a low string. oh, my bad, that was the sequence leading up to a breakdown...
im getting some distortion on my end. might be a little too much low end action, like a clash with your fx and the bass, or just too much low end bass. things get smoother around 3:40. i dig this flow. hmm, then this synth build comes in. kinda surprised me. looking back, the theme of this track doesn not change, which is good, but the elements come and go pretty quick. just when i get used to hearing something, its gone. it is almost like you had 2 or 3 ideas going, and decided to merge them all into this little tune. im gonna listen again.

second take:

now that i have a feel for the tune... you have some kicks in the intro, but they do not correspend to the beat that rings in. they seem kinda pointless. man that bassline sounds so far away. i can pick it out a little better on this run through. it is on the cusp of rumbling. overall, its a long wait for the drop. then when it hits, there is serious distortion from all the sounds going on.
dont get me wrong. i think you have sequenced a nice little track here. it does not hit my dj side at all, due to the overall length of time before the drop and the overall feel. but it does hit me from a dnb perspective. i got into dnb from downbeats and ambiance, so i totally resepct the work you put into this. there is just some engineering work that still needs to be done.
the change up around 4:40 (my space cuts off the second timer) is nice. it is this part here that makes me think you were merging ideas into one track. it is my favourite part of the track.

overall:

i liked the outro best. the intro was neat, but it set me up for a sound that was not delivered when the beat kicked it. then the distortion from the meat of the track was a turn off. i think you know what you are doing, and you should definitely keep at it. not every track is a winner. i have not posted enough to grade tracks yet, but i would slot this one right on the middle.

hope this helps. peace.

cheers man for the cool review, heaps of good tips here.

the track was made over several weeks/ moods, so to keep myself interested
i tend to keep the track moving and changing, I was aiming for progressive dnb (does this exist?) I am also producing on cheep ass speakers(i got them for free, so its all good), so it is kinda hard to master. Will take it to my friends and give it a work over with the UAD card he just got(lucky bastard).

I havn't mixed dnb yet so not really sure on how to make it good to mix.
With the way the pad is at the start it would pro have to be the first track im gussing. I wasn't really aiming for a track to mix, just one to listen atm.
But this is the aim for my music eventually, good to get feedback on this perspective tho. Might make a mixable version, any tips on what to do to it to make it more mixable?

I might make a remix with the end of the track only. See where it goes.

Thanks man for takin the time to review,

Bigup

progressive dnb is pretty close to IDB. i was thinking that when i listened, so if that was your aim, you definitly succeeded.

before i upgraded to 7.1 surround, i used old monitor speakers, the ones that attached to PC monitors. i had to use headphones to make the subs Smile

remastering is the right idea. your friend will hook you up.

peace

first track of urs i think i've heard...

had my head in the sand recently. Big Grin

the track........
the pad is nice and thick but a little on the happy side.....
some of the other sounds coming in a sweet.....
the bird tweeting sound is strange but it fits with the other sounds.......
i like the way the bass pans in the bit before the eat but you need to be carefull when panning anything from 300Hz down cuz it won't press to vinyl and if you play it in a club you'll more than likely loose that effect....
if you want to do that split the sound at the 300-400Hz range and only pann the top....
IMO opinion the beat needs a little more balls the snare could do with another one layered in......one with a bit more in the low mid area....
oh was that the drop Confused there wasn't much warning....oh i like the way the pads and nice sounds drop out for another second drop.....maybe you need to mark that more......
the bass is getting a bit repetative now.....
nice its geting dirsty Devil ......
this bit is really nice or nasty depending what way you look at it.... Big Grin

overview......
i really like this, trhe soundscape/atmos is done really nicely throughtout the track.....the structure is good too with the with the little "ghost" drop if you know what i mean. also i think it needs to get darker earlier if not add more variation on the bass in the first half....
don't take any of my comments to heart....it's obvious you have skills......i'm only trying to help...
after all thats what this site is for Big Grin

didnt check the previous version

weird intro.. string gives a prodigy - experience feel to it. weather experience comes to mind. the bird makes it uneasy for me. definitely different I'll give ya that

expected an even weirder beat but this was just too standard when it drops. reverb bit too heavy on the cymbals

lol the bird goes supersonic at 1:09

think that lead could be a hell lot clearer. it got lost in the reverbs which sound cool so I suggest a dry layer of the same lead on top. even an octave up maybe

cool noises thruout.. getting a bit bored towards the half, needs more work on the transitions. to oppose the whole reverb-thing you got goin you could introduce a totally dry part with no reverb whatsoever, it would work nicely and bring out the other parts of the tune IMO

part which starts at 4:13 is the best for me. it would work much better without the reverbs though

has a heavy techno vibe, you could maybe break that up with a couple of broken beats. unless it was the intention ofcourse

whoa, haven't given a more detailed review in a while Tongue
