Yeah i like this, some nice ideas, the mix needs filling out
slightly, bit more panning work and hihat is slightly
intrusive, other than that it is really good. Shadow Huntaz
are unrelated to dj shadow i think, they played their stuff
on breezeblock (Radio1) a couple of weeks ago, i can see
where hanal is coming from. Keep it up mr promo

hanal and promo did (read the first few posts)

Promo: I enjoyed this track, especially the electric guitar
near the end, it has a good beat and those bell effects are
good. Is there anyway i can re-download your previous
tracks?

Sure but I think most on the board would agree that my style
varies some what.

I already had a lot of your stuff and i liked it! It's just
that i lost all your tracks after a hard disk crash so I
need to get them again.

no, hano mentioned shadow huntaz, then promo automatically
assumed that he meant dj shadow, then kado corrected him,
then i was too late.

*sigh*

Great track! At the start it sounded very retro and a bit
like the music on The Ghostbusters cartoon (do you know the
one?) I like the way you mimic the sound of the bees, i can
picture them flying about, being blown gently in the breeze.
Again the nice bell sounds work a treat :)

I agree with kado- the hi hat is too intrusive. The track is
good though. As I was listening I went to warpmart and the
savath savalas "now playing" track blended with it well,
despite being a bit out of time. Perhaps a sign that the
track could benefit from some slow piano in places? The
guitar is a nice touch- an unexpected change that helps keep
your interest. I've done a similar thing in a track I'm
working on, what has been gamlen and bass throughout the
track changes to french horn and tuba (respectively) :)

Nice ending and good pulsy "sub bass"

So Ceri you reckon I ought to notch the vol on the hi hat?

Notch it down... ;)

Seriously, I'd try different things to "soften" the sound a
bit, run it through filters, turn it down a bit, some EQing
to lower the pitch of it, etc. see what works best.
Currently, it's a bit too piercing and distracting.

It only needs minor alteration. Just turn it down slightly
or eq it. I normally shorten the hats a lot aswell.

Made the adjustment and re-uploaded it.

Fuck me, this is good. I would have liked the drum
sequencing to be slightly different in the electric guitar
part...even just making the drums sounds heavier...maybe a
bit distorted...but that is just a minor gripe.

Damn I got confused! I thought 11 posts had been added to my
existing thread then I realise this is an old thread. Lol.

Don't like that slap-bassy thing, I'm afraid - The only slap
bass I like is in Mario! :D Apart from that, it got going
nicely, and I enjoyed it!
