 | Well, it's nothing to really rave about, but I thought some of you might like it, sonce I haven't been here for a while,
 I guess I should come with some presents.
 
 This is my latest track that I made for my girlfriend's
 presenation and is a pretty poor, lighthearted hip-hop-ish,
 dub-ish piece of crap.
 
 As I am a clumsy bastard, you will (well, at least
 Titsworth) will notice that the beat is lifted from another
 track in its entirity. It's a very well known hip hop break
 anyway... There are some "nice" touches to this track and
 this is why I thought some of you might like it. Then again,
 you might hate it... Think Boom Bip or DJ Shadow in terms of
 mood, though really I'm more into Scorn or Spectre or DJ
 Krush...
 
 I can't make a link so you'll have to paste this into your
 browser piece by piece and I hope it's worth the effort.
 It's 6.25 MB and is called Black Sun Dub for a reason.

 | Pro: Catchy groove, sadly the drum line isn't yours, but the rest of the elements do add to it, nicely put together.
 
 The drum sounds you add would sound a lot cleaner if you
 applied an effect over them AND the drum line when you bring
 them in, subtle, maybe some distortion or flang, in my
 humble opinion.
 
 I am a fan of subtlety, a lot of the ambient ideas could be
 developed well along those lines
 
 Con: Repetitive. VERY repetitive, choppy transitions. The
 changes in the melody and subtle line differences just
 aren't doing it for me... this should be a three minute
 piece. Some of the samples, notably the piano riff, don't
 melt into the piece... they start and stop really awkwardly
 
 Needs some work, but sounds like you know that... keep um
 coming!

 | Thaks, sang, I kinda agree with most of what you say. It was basically spliced up in one afternoon and it sounds like
 that too. Not that I can do much better anyway....

 | Course you can! 
 It's all little things that need to be fixed... details... I
 could make quite a few recommendations on the sampling
 technique, and I'm sure tons of people on here could too,
 just ask the questions
 
 Example... usually I take a sample with some ambient/reverb
 before and after instead of cutting it off, and fading the
 sample in to when it comes in. This helps it sound smooth
 
 Work on the building blocks, and the rest is just what kind
 of imagination you have... like Mike P said in your
 interview, it's all about the imagination. Once you get the
 basics done, that's the limitation... you just gotta get
 comfortable with the basics still

 | Ahh, I know what you mean, but I'm just too lazy and have no real ambition I'm afraid... Come to think of it, I probably
 shouldn't let my music be heard by public, hehehe...
