It should play automatically. The tune is called 'Tortured Souls' and is originally by a friend Illuzion. He asked me to do a remix, and I had never tried a remix before so I decided to give it a shot. It's been a while since I've posted a tune here. I hope you guys like it. I use FL5 and a couple plugins. I run a pretty bare-bones setup. Nothing special. Enjoy! __ MuZIK 29-06-2006 03:19 cynik Cp6uja Registration Date: 15-03-2005 Posts: 5,646 Helpfulness rating:  alright tortured souls.. well, it doesn't start that tortured, a too happy vibe to it for my taste. intro takes too long drops: reece is pretty thin. then the kick is too loud.. but it's not the kick, it's those bass hits actually, beats are nice and rolling on the other hand loose the atmospheric souls screeching times - it gets tiring after a while IMHO. well, dunno, the elements you have are in place, but it gets droning and bores pretty quickly, some modulation would remedy that. also try to introduce some more elements, something that would sound memorable. but first try working on that reece more IMO __ https://soundcloud.com/tsai-vidro-voves 29-06-2006 07:05 BeatJunkie Cool Producer Registration Date: 30-12-2005 Posts: 206 Helpfulness rating:  First, thanks for takin a second to listen.... As for the title: I only did the remix, I didn't name the tune. I just added my flavor to my friend's tune idea. I agree with you about the screeching atmos. After I listened a few times, I realized I shoulda dumped that when the tune drops. As for variations, anyone got any ideas? more drum edits? more 'sounds' more______? It does lack that bit of 'excitement' Anyway, thanks for the review, maybe I'll work on it some more. Anyone else? __ MuZIK 29-06-2006 08:15 cynik Cp6uja Registration Date: 15-03-2005 Posts: 5,646 Helpfulness rating:  I actually listened to it three times before posting personally I would go all out spacing in this, which means reverbed atmospheric noises and a couple more synths creeping in and out. possibly bandpassing filter which would make a synth come out from above (barely matching hihat frequency) and from below, from the bass. it is a reece tune and to contrast it go for non-melodic parts while bringing back the screechings hope that helps, sorry if it's confusing. hit me up on MSN if youre having more problems (click on my profile for the MSN adress) __ https://soundcloud.com/tsai-vidro-voves 29-06-2006 16:46 BeatJunkie Cool Producer Registration Date: 30-12-2005 Posts: 206 Helpfulness rating:  thx bro, just may do that. __ MuZIK 30-06-2006 03:22 BeatJunkie Cool Producer Registration Date: 30-12-2005 Posts: 206 Helpfulness rating:  seriously no one else wants to listen? __ MuZIK 30-06-2006 09:46 BeatJunkie Cool Producer Registration Date: 30-12-2005 Posts: 206 Helpfulness rating:  well then biggup Cynik for my only review. __ MuZIK 30-06-2006 21:35 Glim Stuck In The Late Nineties Registration Date: 16-10-2004 Posts: 1,848 Helpfulness rating:  nice simple and effective start, sound rather dull tho.. is that jus myspace? those screech sounds are cool mate, so is that percussion rolling the tune along.. heavy bass stabs are good drop is alright. maybe grime up that reece a lil more.. the breaks are quieter than the set before the breakdown, need to fix that man, nice little tune man, would like to hear the original to get a better idea of what you've done with it cheers mate G __ My Sounds 01-07-2006 09:32 BeatJunkie Cool Producer Registration Date: 30-12-2005 Posts: 206 Helpfulness rating:  thanks for the review, yeh there's alot more i could/should have done. But, I got kinda burnt out on this one, as I pretty much did it from start to finish in one sitting. I'll deff. work on it more soon tho. Thanks again. __ MuZIK 02-07-2006 01:07 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Tunes » Illuzion- Tortured Souls (BLeAk Remix)
