Could do without the crazy amount of reverb, but definetly got my head going. Diggin the trancy gimmick after the 2:17. VeryNuSkool AK1200.

The intro is well aranged..... nice build up..... have you used FM in subtractor??? just a question.... Ok the drop..... Well arranged it keeps on rolling.... exelent FX and nice vocals... a tip try not to use Dr.REX`s original loops they are too obvious(I mean on the loop that starts somwhere around 2:15 and it plays in the background but that si only in my taste...) The main drums are well aranged... the bassline goes with it, and the complete arrangement seems to be exelent It is inovative tune, electro-breack like.... I like it Now the tech aspect... Mix down well....listen around 0:50 and 1:00minute.... there is no kick (barrely noticable) and the snare is "loosing".... You need to mix down well... and then to equalise the drums separately if you like to use that synth ( I think it is Subtractor and you are using FM, but I assume this)... Try using the NN-XT and load the drums on separate zones and chanels to the mixer... Then you can separately eq kick, snare, hats and cymbals, use compressor on them, and have filter, envelope, mod wheel and pitch on drums That is how you will avoid the use of Dr.REX as sampling device, but you will use it only as a loop player What refers to the drums try this compressor on kicks and snares: set attack 1-5ms, auto release, ratio 5-10:1, gain by desire and feel... Try to cut off 300-700hz the "basslike" sound (the one I think is Subtractor with the FM) to remove the mudiness area of that sound... General compression try this: set attack to fast(1-2ms), release also fast(0.5s or more) ratio 5:1 and gain around 6-10db... 26-10-2006 21:43 Encypher Producer Registration Date: 05-06-2005 Posts: 92 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by Scurf Not well played strings in the intro it seems you haven`t played the chords well.... the strings are in reverse __ Through meditation i program my heart to break beat and humm basslines in exhillation... release 27-10-2006 00:37 Scurf Cool Producer Registration Date: 26-10-2006 Posts: 164 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by Encypher quote: Originally posted by Scurf Not well played strings in the intro it seems you haven`t played the chords well.... the strings are in reverse That explains Very inovative 27-10-2006 00:55 anf0 D CXNT Registration Date: 31-03-2005 Posts: 1,196 Helpfulness rating:  the intro is cool... that reece is sounding sweet... but damn, the drums never kick it hard... they sound mega drowned by the phat reece.the use of effects and arrangment is pretty sweet. just need to fix up the drums. sounding cool though __ [R] CentaSpike :: Tracks 27-10-2006 03:37 Glim Stuck In The Late Nineties Registration Date: 16-10-2004 Posts: 1,848 Helpfulness rating:  aha a familiar film sample i see... blatent usage.. the strings sound is good, nice breakz runnin over it leads into a drop where there is some balance issues, the main riff is way way too loud, need to bring it in balance with the beatz, i like the melody but the actual sample itself (or instrument) sounds too digital. nice use of changin sections with filtered breakz but too much change for my liking the part from round 2:20 onwards although its totally different is quite cool with thre pulp fiction samples lots goin on here my only issue is with balance and personal style gonna check your other tune now mate cheers Glim __ My Sounds 29-10-2006 17:40 n8teman15 Producer Registration Date: 16-06-2005 Posts: 64 Helpfulness rating:  feckin on it buh!!! __ Da stix 25-04-2007 12:21 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Tunes » Encypher - The choice
